The Bride-Hunting Tale: I’ve Failed 20 Marriage Proposals Already. I Don’t Need Titles Like Dragon Slayer or Hero Who Saved the Nation—All I Want Is a Cute Wife!

The Aglant Empire, a vast nation that dominates the eastern continent.

I, Fordealt, was born as the heir to the Restal Frontier Marquisate, a noble house of considerable standing within the empire. To put it mildly, I’ve been fairly blessed in life.

In this empire, where social hierarchy is strictly enforced, I am the legitimate heir to a noble house. At the imperial academy—where attendance is mandatory for noble children—I’ve managed to achieve decent grades, and even my combat skills are acknowledged by my peers.

And yet…

For some reason, I’m not popular.

I need to find a wife before I finish my studies and return to my territory, but at this point, girls start distancing themselves before I even introduce myself.

Sure, the Restal Frontier Marquisate is a remote countryside territory far from the imperial capital. Some rude people even call us “mountain monkeys.” But objectively speaking, my conditions aren’t bad at all.

And as for me personally—okay, I’m not exactly a handsome city boy, but I’m not that bad. …Well, maybe I’m just a little on the short side.

Thus, this is the story of my journey to find my ideal wife.

Along the way, I somehow ended up fighting a dragon, got caught up in a civil war within the empire, and became unnecessarily famous, but I never lost sight of my goal!

I will do whatever it takes to find a kind, gentle, and adorable wife!
