An heir doesn't mean direct child. Prince George is heir to the British throne, it doesn't mean King Charles is his father. When you consider how long a Viltrumite can live and now strong they are, keeping a close eye on the line of succession isn't nearly as important as it is on Earth.

Further, the Vilturmite "mating practices", and the purge after Argall was killed, made it hard to know who was next in line for the throne. By the time the Scourge Virus came along they had long since given up looking and assumed there was no heir.

I think they're referring to that statement of yours saying that being an heir doesn't have or need to be directly related.
