OK, so suppose there was only one child to the High King, They would obviously have be the next High King/Queen right? But the whole system with the Throne Warden and the High King is that the ruler would have a protector. So if there was no Throne Warden who would be the protector of the High King?

If there only one child, I assume that the King and Queen who had the heir would select trusted people to guard the heir. I assume the Heir would always be King/Queen if the only child lest the Wingfeather name would fade into history. Or perhaps as part of this clause, maybe the cousins that are around the same age grow up along side the heir and are taught to be a Throne Warden and a Song Master/Maiden. Maybe you should write a fanfiction on this!
