Sorry, WHY wouldn't a future Count be suitable to marry the daughter of a Marquis? She has almost the same level of prestige in noble society.
Yulia was engaged to a future Duke as daughter of a Count, which means her position was lower and his position was significantly higher... and in their relationship it was acually HER that was considered to have taken the worse deal since the ducal family was known to be poor (somehow).

@Arkios A Marquis is a step or two above a count. Marquis is right below Duke. 

Unless the count family had done something very prestigious, it would be considered lowering herself and an insult to her family's status to marry someone so below her in status.

The gap between ranks gets bigger the higher the rank.

The difference between a knight and a baron is nothing compared to the difference between a duke and a king
