The historical elements are really all just aesthetic. The count should’ve been given a dowry for her even if it was a marriage he was strongarmed into. With his wealth too, it would’ve been a pretty crazy amount to get them settled? Also it’s weird he isn’t using the dragons to survey the native wildlife at all, but considering the time period, at least he isn’t actively arrogant and in the way. In the first place, a prince’s fiancee is chosen from birth and given education for it, albeit less than a crown princesses, since they’ll govern a Duchy or Marquisdom eventually. It’s done from childhood, so a fiancee being cut off and sent away for petty level bullying would never happen. Not to mention, if her father was more active on her behalf (cause all of the meet cute would be incredibly disrespectful to her and the kind of punishment done for a woman who’s only other option is a monestary which is way above all the accusations against her), the crown would be insulting a duchy with pretty large financial power which isn’t done unless they’re an issue?? And once again, the Duke is pretty passive and still loyal after his eldest daughter who’s the closest to all of their family members and integral, gets forced into a marriage implied to be across the country
