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).
