I'm not sure if I actually believe it, but it was explained to me that every SoY is actually descended from Ymir Fritz. Like she is the 'Mitochondrial Eve' of the SoYs. Thus the 'Royal Family' is nothing special blood wise in their relation to Ymir, they are only recognized as different by Ymir because of their inherited titles.

There's a problem with this though - only 2000 years have passed since Ymir's death but there are millions of SoYs in the world. How can they all be descended from her?
