That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Disappointing Prince

Duke> Marquis> Count> Viscount> Baron> Baronet> Knight

In addition to this, there are other titles such as the Grand Duke and Margrave.

“It’s rare for a high-ranking aristocrat to have one wife, isn’t he taking a concubine?”

“That’s right … Normally, it’s usual to have a few wives in a noble family so that the blood of the house won’t be lost, but some wives have strong jealousy and a desire for exclusivity … Well, there are also such houses.”

“Jealousy, is it …”

“That’s why I heard that he decided to take a son-in-law to wed to his eldest daughter … you’re not going to get married right away.
You’re going to enroll in the magic department of their knight academy.
His daughter is also there.
You’ll study there and you’ll get married after graduation.
Both of you will live in dormitories until then, so I’m not saying that you should go over there and get married and live in the duke’s house.
The story was settled immediately cause the girl is the same age as you … “

“Why did you choose me? In the first place, I already have a splendid fiancée named Lulu …”

“I’ve come to an agreement with Marquis Lulutier in this case … because she’s a beautiful and talented daughter who’s said to be engaged to an “orc prince ” by the public.
There is already talk of marrying her to the son of another Marquis family.
She would be happier to get married to the next head of a Marquis house family than to the idiot you who can only be a baron.
“

I can’t talk back … Certainly, she may be happier to be the wife of the Marquis family than to be married to me, who is famous for being stupid, and scorned in secret. Originally, if you’re a son of the king, you would normally be given a duke’s rank, but if I was given such a high rank, the vassal aristocrats around him won’t stay silent.

“But father’s choice will let the other country know that I’m stupid, right? Wouldn’t the other country get angry when they know about it?”

“Uh … you don’t know, but once every few years, I get a daughter of a high-ranking aristocrat from a friendly country to bring in excellent blood so that the blood between nobles is not weakened.
However, the blood of the upper aristocrats of our country is getting more and more thinned for some reason.
“

“That’s one reason, but isn’t the real intention to hold the children of the upper aristocrats hostage and prevent war with neighboring countries?”

Japan during the Warring States period also did it. Even though it was a friendly country, they did not know when there will be a war. Those who were married at that time become effective hostages.

“The Kingdom of Forrell is a vassal state derived from the royal family of this country.
There is no need for hostages in the first place because the difference in strength is obvious.
You know that heredity is related to the fact that only nobles can use magic.
That’s why each family is eager to seek the blood of an excellent family.
The tendency worsens the higher the rank of the family, and nowadays brother-sister marriage is commonplace, and some houses have children between parent and children.
It’s come to that now… “

“Yes I know”

“Since Wolg is a large country, the number of nobles is very large.
Inevitably, there are many who have excellent genes.
The neighbouring Kingdom of Forrell is a small country with a population of about 1/50 of our country.
So, until now, we have only sent a bride and son-in-law of Wolg of a count’s family, but this time the request is to join a duke’s family … the other side wouldn’t accept it unless it was at least a Marquis family.
“

“You were asked for the son of a high-ranking aristocrat at the right time, so you used the opportunity to get rid of the famous orc prince of this country …”

“It’s not the personality the other side wants from the son-in-law candidate … It’s the blood of a family with excellent magic attributes.
Whether you’re a fool or an idiot, that’s fine.
…… “

“It’s true that even if I’m stupid, my bloodline is the direct line of the royal family.
Moreover, my main attribute is the rare holy attribute … Besides, I’m a precious existence that can also use holy> darkness> water / wind> thunder … But that’s okay.
I see, I’m convinced … It doesn’t matter who the stallion is.
What they want is not personality, but the rare attributes.
The duke’s daughter’s, quite unfortunate … “

My father probably intended to dance around the topic, but I’m surprised that he pointed it out directly. But if you think about it, isn’t it more convenient for me than staying in this country?

My reputation in this country is the worst. If I’m not going to get married right away, it’s a good idea to strengthen myself then run away before the marriage … Yeah, it’s not a bad story.
