You get the option of telling you'll marry her in a flashback from when you were child.
In my main save I agreed to stage the coup with her so we're partner in crime.

When my MC takes the Queen Mother as his wife, he'll have all the elves at his behest.MC is not the emperor yet though. He's still just a regent with a strenuous hold on actual power.
If he manages to return from the west with the allegiance of the western kingdoms / democracies his hold on power will be much stronger.
But even if he were to be crowned King he can't really go around marrying anyone just yet, because the family of his wife wouldn't really like it. A nobleman marriage is a game of alligiances after all, and the north / south are lands you're looking to annect anyway.
I believe it will happen, but much later in the story.
I promised Cass I will marry her and hellbent on keeping my promise.
Feudal power is based on a chain of people looking up.
Propriety and Courtly Protocol are a show of strength and order. To abandon them is to show the finger to the agreements that bind liege and vassal. If you can't honor the laws of the gods or your society, how can anyone expect you to honor the agreements that make up the realm?
That's one of the many reasons why large feudal empires often have a very strenuous peace.
And that's before you add people deliberately looking to sow distrust, cause chaos and gain power by any means. Or things like popular revolts. heresies, those damn merchants and their money, military dissent or the church.
It's why many empires become extremely bureaucratic, because a calcified bureaucracy furthers stability. The bureaucracy will always protect itself after all.
So no, the emperor is not the most free to do what he wants. In many ways, the eyes of scrutiny are always on him and make him the most bound in the kingdom.
The power to change that comes with time, trust and allies.
Look into Lothair the second trying to trying to marry Waldrada. That's a similar situation in regards to laws and propriety that should be pretty simple for a man with his power, but isn't.
He just got started, and the father still hasn’t kicked the bucket yet. But once he consolidates his power I think is plausible.
I guess you brought Lothair cause of the similarities of this world VN to medieval Christian Europe. But it still isn't medieval CHRISTIAN Europe. And outside of it there has been rulers with multiple wives. The dev can make it work if he desires to.

I've got 3 main paths with the 3 choices of bookworm, mage and warrior. Currently they focus on the sister that matches with the skill. Married the North for for Elin and Lia, and the South for Cass. Did that one third and and really liking Isis as a wife and partner even though she rubbed me the wrong way in the beginning. You just have to man up and dominate her and she falls right in line. Still need a path to dominate Cass as well since she has been holding the reins a little too hard so far.
