Something I always think about in historical manhwa when the MC and the ML are both from ducal houses is how the power structure doesn’t crumble.. especially when they don’t have any siblings. Do they end up merging? Do they (somehow) each manage their own houses, then try for two kids and have them continue both houses? Then there couldn’t be another marriage between the two houses, at least for a while.
It’s different when it’s imperial family x ducal house since it’s not uncommon that a duke has some imperial lineage. It feels different when there’s multiple dukes who are world-built to keep each other in check, feels unstable
