She got marriage proposal from her uncle and cousin. I feel like the author is avoiding the fact that they are related by rarely mentioning it, so that readers don't think about and believe it's ok. I hope her love interest is not related to her

aaaaa thank you for updating!

also they're all closely related which is pretty weird since they're the love interests of mc. like no illegitimate child stuff for any of the characters, idk it's just uncomfortable to think about

I understand people's reluctance over the LI being closely related, but tangled family trees is par for the course of Royalty (See the Habsburg family for the most egregious example). It's fairly likely that whoever became King if not married already would marry her to strengthen their position and avoid future rivals, so I'll just ignore their relationships and enjoy the story and romance when it inevitably comes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I can't believe her parents sheltered her like that. Even though she's one of the highest ranking nobles in town so she doesn't have to attend social parties she doesn't know anything. How was she going to live after they died?
Thanks for the update ❤️

I'm usually a megane trash but the tsundere guy is simply too adorbs.

I've long learned to look the other way in certain cases of manga incest, like in this one where they're royalty (which makes it a bit plausible) and they didn't really grow up as a family. The mangaka basically treated family ties as a way to bring the characters together in the plot and relations are infrequently brought up, so it presents less IRL moral conflict for me 😂

Incest, the manga.

But really. Isn't it pretty obvious, that they try to use her and honey her, so that she gives her vote to them. Also, I'm not buying the "He tried to make up with her by marrying her"-story. It's more likely to get the help of the ducal family she represents early game.

Ok, everything would be much better if she wasn't RELATED to them, yes it makes sense historically but let's just go for strengthened family bonds if possible? Please dont be incest

The incest is very off-putting... that and the chess stuff, can't wait until the shut-in starts to completely read people while playing chess, *cringe*.

Ah yes, the House of Habsburg all over again.
She just could have been adopted by the king, it would be so much better. I can't help but wince each time I read "my niece".

Thank you so much for the update!

I don't think it is too far off the actual historical or even modern mark for her to be the niece and potentially married to her uncle. We all are aware of the historical happenings, but as recently as of 2014 a uncle to niece marriage was approved by the Court of Appeals in New York. In this situation the niece in question's mother was half-siblings with the uncle in question meaning there was no more genetic risk than first cousins. Not to mention first cousin marriage is allowed still in a good part of the USA.

Either way it does match the setting since all of the candidates need strong blood ties for the right to rule. Irvine is her first cousin once removed, Cyan is her first cousin, and Stewart is her uncle. If say Stewart is a half sibling to her father (they have different mothers) then that would make him no more a genetic risk than Cyan (assuming Cyan's father wasn't of a different mother). Irvine is probably the least "ick" factor tho.

@ me if I'm wrong about the family tree, I'm bad at this

i really liked the first chapter, but the impressions on this one was worse...

first, the fact they let their daughter close off completely. they seemed to never have done the effort to try and get her out again, they look like... very complacent parents? they did it "out of love", but i don't quite see how not trying to help her heal is real love

if i were her i'd have been mad to know they even took important decisions regarding myself without even telling me... if she has to meet suitors who were turned down, they should have told her? if only out of concern for her safety?? they might lash out at her for that decision??

and the guys... dunno, maybe they're buttering her up but i feel their personalities quite inconsistent from one ch to the next. the harem vibe is being built up too quickly without momentum imo

i'll keep reading without judging too fast, thank you for bringing us this story!!
