"Well, I guess so. Elizabeth and her family seems to find it unbelievable that the first male heir to the throne, such as Fontana, should be the sole heir to the throne. In the East, there are powerful women. In some cases, it is said that a woman can take over the reigns of the family.

 And the nobility was defined as the family that inherited magic.

 In order to preserve the family, women are also allowed to claim the family, and they can take over the family only when there are no male heirs.

"It would be possible to put it on the agenda. However, it is uncertain whether it will be approved or not. The person who is a member of the council is not necessarily the eldest child. Also, many of the first-class citizens who elect the council members are not the firstborn, so there is a possibility of antagonism. Considering the possibility that a legislator who votes in favor of the proposal will be voted out of office in the next election, it is unclear how many votes in favor of the proposal will be obtained."
