The Amount of Politics in This Isekai......

So the main Plot in this isekai is... How Politics in Another World is just the same like ours?

@halloween20 Prince Phillip of the UK is technically a prince-consort as a not-in-the-line-to-inherit-power spouse of a queen regnant, but he's generally not referred to as such on account of him having been the prince of Greece and Denmark by birth, so he's still a prince in his own right...just not of England.

@Vincentius has it right: Were his marriage to suddenly end, Zenjirou would not be a prince in his own right (barring whatever honorary/courtesy titles he might have picked up).

On a related note, if a marriage of mixed social rank would barr the kids from inheriting the land and fancy hats, then the technical term for this sort of thing in IRL history is a morganatic marriage, a marriage between two people of different social rank (e.g. royalty marrying nobility or nobility marrying a commoner) in which the spouse and kids can't get the succession rights. Succession laws varied with time and place, with succession rights sometimes overruled by specific new lawmaking...which were then sometimes ignored, leading to funtimes like the War of the Austrian Succession.

As an aside, I so need to catch up on this series. ^_^;

@jak

Spoiler

Yes, he does for political reasons. One of them is the silver haired woman in the vol 6,7,8 cover

 

[CraniumAmbiguity]

So, can someone explain what the blunder is in him making this verbal promise? Is it about what the promise entailed, or to who he promised, or is it just that he made the promises with out consulting the Queen?

 

[AMetroid]

@CraniumAmbiguity The issue is that of other side acquiring something that was not intended to be given. It's a power move. Though in this case it's more about MC-kun being off his game.

@jak

So does he actually get concubines? I kinda hope he doesn't.

Spoiler

He's forced into by the girl's actions. Though as of V8 LN, the marriage hasn't been set yet, or even formalized with her parents.

@AMetroid @firefox1234

But does he actually

Spoiler

do anything lewd with them

, or is he completely loyal to his Queen?

@justforthelulz

Spoiler

the fan translation ended before things got formalized so I don't know yet. Frankly, in the LN version the Queen seems more Machiavellian than the manga version in my opinion so i wouldn't be surprised if she made him do what was necessary like at least have children for alliance purposes.

Tough luck lady! Jewelry is one of the few things that didn't change much in the last centuries, and what changed was due to the presence of new machinery.

... a three piece suit.
They can't make glass...
But they have a three piece suit
Yeahno

 

[Kwijo]

That opening reminds me of that time the world lost their minds when Obama bowed to Emperor Akihito.

 

[KuTa]

Hello

I see that there is about 10 chapters ahead in jp, are you planning to continue this manga ?

Thanks you for all the work

 

[Ruhrpottpatriot]

@AncelDeLambert A three piece suit is actually more easy done than glass. If you look at some of the ancient Persian armour and clothing you'll see that. It's more a stylistic choice. Form fitting clothing in general is a thing of modernity.

@Kwijo Which only shows that people have no idea how diplomatic protocol works. In diplomacy there is no such thing as country ranking, Europe made sure of that and the Emperor of Japan is on the same step as the president of Iceland. The guest greets their host by either a handshake or local custom, in the case of Japan bowing.
Therefore Obama NOT bowing would've been a diplomatic insult of the highest degree.

I always find it funny how this manga tries to build "European" countries, but then makes sure that social custom is totally Japanese.

You mean the bowing? I thought "lowering your head" was a pretty universal gesture to show general respect or acknowledgement of position or hierarchy - done by bowing, kneeling, or curtsy.
