Two days after Carlo arrived in Vienna, no one informed him when the ball would be held.
However, Carlo was not anxious, after all, the Habsburg family was the host, and everything was to be arranged by them.
Among European aristocrats, men generally marry later. If they can find a suitable marriage partner who aligns with their political interests, that's good; if not, marriage can often be delayed until after the age of 30.
After all, being free to find their lovers before marriage allows male nobles not to worry about marriage, unless they have a specific purpose.
For female nobles, however, marriage typically happens before the age of 20. If a woman reaches 20 without a specific engagement, she is usually ridiculed by other nobles.
That's why the average marriage age for European male nobles is over 25, while for female nobles, it is under 20, or even under 18.
A woman over 25 is considered a leftover, and unless she has superior attributes, she isn't desired.
