The Chang Yu Family was famous for their shrewdness, and the Marquis of Red Crab Island, Merlin Taro, also prided himself on his astuteness. He did not follow other marquis families in seeking marriages within the same social status.
Instead, he valued the potential of the other party. His eldest son, Mesiro, married the daughter of an earl, whose family was backed by the Iron Knight Family, thus ensuring that the Chang Yu Family would not lack weapons and equipment. His eldest daughter, Melinda, was wed to Roland Pinecone, the son of Viscount Longtail City, who was known at the time as a "genius."
His younger daughter, Melissa, was then married to Viscount William of Tahiti City.
Within a few years after his marriage, William had distinguished himself through his military achievements, was granted the title of Coral Island's Count, and quickly rose to become a Sword Saint, proving the insightful judgment of Marquis Merlin.
