Market value.

It was a concept Vanitas deeply valued.

Not in the materialistic sense, but in the value of individuals. How society perceived them. 

How important they could become. 

Could they influence the aristocratic circles? 

Would they leave a mark in history? 

That was the market value of people.

And Vanitas knew his market value was soaring rapidly after several incidents he was involved in.

That much became clear to him today.

"Another one, huh?"

Several postcards, envelopes, and letters from various aristocratic families flooded his desk.

Most were proposals for partnerships, invitations to events, or opportunities to establish connections. But none of those were what truly caught his attention.

What stood out were the proposals for arrange engagements—introductions to their daughters with the intention of securing him as a future son-in-law.

In other words, a potential fiancée.
