The issue, of course, is less of a reason why he has both destinies, it's whether he is able to fulfill them both logically.

Additionally, Julius has younger brothers, so if there is no way for him to fulfill both, it is likely that one of the destinies is allocated to one of his brothers. (Hunter probably gets both destinies despite having a little sister, Fern, because Fern is too young and would delay Apple or Cerise's story if she inherited it.)

But I'm rambling. I think the explanation of how Blockhead ended up with his friend's Clever Hans destiny works, and despite Clever Hans and his fiance Gretel intended to be read as commoners, it is still a story about a fool failing to court his love. Perhaps, if the story had been intended to be some social critique on commoner courtship, you might lose some fundamental meaning, but it still works on a surface level.

As you've already outlined in his Fairytale section, he would mix the two destinies just as his predecessor did: failing to court Gretel, and moving on to charming the princess, which I believe works as a logical progression.

Please forgive the length of this answer, it is early in morning and I don't have the brainpower to say this more concisely.
