Guess the author mixed up several things from different countries that he/she liked :D
I agree with Hazuki Jin. It's probably that the author just combined a lot of European things and went with it. What always ruins the immersion is all the bowing, though.
Not really - remember this is a time period where they WOULD bow in Europe. It isn't done now, but for a long time bowing was the norm.
Oh, I know! But there's a difference in how bowing is done in East vs. West? To my eyes, the way that people bow in this webtoon is a very Asian way of doing so. In chapter 9, she's actually kowtowing, which would not have been done in Europe.
What Im interested in is: what country are we talking about?!! Like, I wasnt expecting to have an exact age or period of time (most of this stories dont stay with a “correct” historic context) so I do my best to ignore that, but it was obvious what is the alter name of France and Prussia, and altho “Londo” is also quite obvious and the seal that “Ron” showed is pretty much the same as England’s (exept for the goat) with the same phrase; the royal family name of Romanoff can only make me look towards Russia, and for them to be concerned with the Black sea also would be logical only to Russia, not to England... Im just so puzzled by that
