I can't and honestly don't want to picture Ryoma being in a romantic relationship with the Duke's daughter. I'm assuming that she's the female lead here but its unsettling to watch it play out. First of all, the age difference was never a problem as he is now a child, but the concept of romantic love would just ruin the plot line of the whole story. Ryoma grew up lacking a lot of things but its clear he cherishes familial love. The idea that the Duke's family is supportive of him makes me want them to be family and only family. Having the daughter be the medium or rather link to having them become an actual marriage-related family just seems wrong and useless. The fact that they already showed how strong her family is just makes me know that they'll most likely end up together, but honestly, I would have preferred Ryoma's life to be centered on how his relationships between a complete family who can offer him love (unromantic one), and friends whom he never had much back in his previous life. Sometimes, or rather most of the time, great story plots are ruined with forced romance.
