Fantasy manga usually use medieval Europe as a base, although female monarchs were not common in European history, but they were not exactly rare either.


The ruler still needs approval from Parliament or the nobility (unless they are an absolute monarch). Even so, they must already be on the throne to do that.

There is one single monarchy in the sword and knight era that had a parliament and even they had male preference primogeniture if not even salic laws until they ran out of princes that one time and had to have a queen. Good example of this whole panic and mess was the War of the Roses and Henry VIII's multiple marriages, which in the end didn't produce a male heir, forcing them to loosen their succession rights, but it still was male-preference until recent times.

Aristocrats would probably salivate at the idea of banning female heirs, especially, if it only concerns the monarchy's succession and not their own titles. After all, should the king fail to have a male heir, whomsoever would marry the queen could end up as the king. Not to mention being related to the monarchy granting you succession rights, ie. marrying the second, third and so on princes and then having male heirs.
This is how Habsburgs happened.

Since most "Far-Eastern Europe Fantasy" use either France or Germany (Holy Roman Empire) as inspirations, both essentially allowed female rulers as only the last possible option and even then, they might lose the sovereignty once they married (France has never had a sovereign queen). Maria Theresa required a constitutional change in the Holy Roman Empire in order for her to succeed and that wasn't exactly a peaceful transfer of power.

Sovereign queens were the exception, not just a rarity.

Anyhow, I skimmed the earlier chapters and the Noble girl isn't even a royal, but a... back up elector?
Essentially the system is:
Monarch names a heir -> heir becomes monarch
If monarch hasn't named a heir -> Elector's choose the next heir from candidates, if there are multiple

This system is bloody retarded and exactly why you have these kinds of succession crises. You want to be the next Roman Empire, this is how you become the next Roman Empire (and collapse). Write bloody strict and all covering succession laws and you will avoid most succession wars.
Either have "first born inherits" or have the electors, you can't have both. Electors should only exist in the case that the direct royal bloodline is extinct and you have to go looking for the cousins and whatnots.

Let me guess the knights will be killed by a pissed off maid.

I always find sad that in asian works, but western fantasy works depicting monarchies aren't exactly less guilty, they always have the same inspiratations, and how they always do it badly, mixing in elements from different periods, becouse HRE or France monarchies like all real monarchies weren't static, just seeing the transformation during the age of absolutism.
It's even more sad as there ARE historical systems that can be interesting to adapt, to create a sense of novelty in the story. For example the Polish Lituanian Commonwealth, strongly nobility based system, or the Sardinian Iudicates, with a noble-like parliament and a written constitution (Arborea provided another notable female ruler Eleonora, and Torres had also a female rule in it's history).
Even more funny is that HRE electors weren't just nobles, they were high ranking nobles with sovereignty over their states, whose state had not only internal but also external autonomy. HRE being more similar to a monarchic state federation that a proper kingdom. (pre absolutistic kingdoms like france had nobles with territories with various degree of autonomy but these were only related to internal matters)
