Typical arranged political marriage, a beautiful young women and an old ugly man.
Maybe she will refuse the arrangement and run off to the New World.

... or to Monte-Cristo?
Louys
or to Ny Tradgardland - where she would indeed be welcomed...
Alan
or possibly to Beerstein, where the Reich Duke's son is about to graduate from the University of Pabst....
Or even to Hesse-Engelburg, which is rumored to have a young son and heir as yet unmarried.
But first, of course, we must learn whether the Prinzessin Sophie-Vittoria is pleased with the announcement.
I bet that she cried when she saw his picture for the first time.
Perhaps her family is following the Habsburg's example. The first marriage is for duty. The second one is for love.

If young Sophie-Vittoria enjoys a personality akin to that of
Sophie-Frederique-Augusta von Holstein-Gottorp, her misfortune (and Friedrich's survival) will be short...

Should the need arise, The Frundsberg Frei Stadt can arrange discrete divorces arranged by the appropriate religeous authorities. (For a suitable fee/demonstration of penetence, etc.)
Will
Alternatively, Monte-Cristo can provide Prinzessin Sophie-Vittoria with an escort of skilled bridesmaids (or Holy Sisters of the Order of St Jezebel).
How the young widow would express her gratitude could be discussed later.
