@HOOfan_1 I understand Marie wants nothing to do with him. That's pretty evident. I was stating that he, the prince, had the option of taking her as a concubine or something of that nature if he really wanted to do so. Given the target audience is females, it's not unexpected that they wouldn't mention that, but it's still realistic.
Regarding the violence and bloodshed issue, fair enough. It's not even clear that he desires her either romantically or sexually. He could just want to keep her as personal property, playing music and making tea for him. But your point on violence and bloodshed if they did have kids is fair enough.
