Nothing stops the mother or the couple to go on an assassination spree after the fact to gain a hold in the other House, and then you just avoided war to hand over the power over the other nation. What you want is real love between the couple so that each of them work for the wellness of the other, hence avoiding too much power play. But, you have a setting with factual divine powers. What if your party needed to first and foremost quest for the god of love/fertility/heart/whatever (or their clergy) or steal the actual heart of one of the to-be lovers hidden in a monastery by the mother tyrant to avoid the exact play your party is trying to pull. 1) Find the Heartless Monastery in the Underworld2) Steal the princess heart by foiling the yuan-ti agents of the queen.3) bring back the heart to the humble prince of City #2.4) Marry them under the blessing and protection of the god of love.</blockquote>
