Really? They said she was likely going to inherit the Count of Renkels title in which case she'd be the third highest noble rank (behind Duke & Marquess).
i wish stories that had the trope of noble x commoner would have more conflict and show the struggle of them being together due to the differences in their social classes. I know these stories tend to be light hearted. The only person who usually objects the main character couple is the "villainess" of the story, who tends to be the nobles fiance. and i understand why she would object-- its her fiance.. makes sense.
However, i wish these authors made something deeper. Something that allowed you to root for the characters because of the injustice they face by society for simply being in love. I also wish authors would show the darker sides of their worlds alot more: the wealth gap between the nobles and the commoners, how nobles look down on commoners and believe commoners are of a lower birth and maybe the main character realising how easy she has it inside the palace compared to the commoners outside. I would love to see that. A main character recognising their privelage and recognising the flaws of their world.
But alot of the time the story is through rose tinted glasses where the mcs always win and walk down a flowery path the whole time.
Thats why alot of the noble fantasy trope is a bore to me. I still read it but i dont expect anything great or beyond surface level.
Commoner and Emperor. Not “realistic” in fiction. Feel like a couple like this could never get their “happy ever after”
