Cement Lasting Alliance with King?

[Druidic]

This is perhaps the most baffling thing about Warband. The dialog option to ask about marriage to a ruler of a faction, only to have them say "You will not take offense if I tell you that, as a king, I have other plans for my children."

Firstly, what children? Secondly, I searched the module system and there is no alternate option if you have high renown or relations. It's just a dead end. I get including options for dialog in the first place to flesh things out, but dead-end dialog options are always annoying.

I'm not asking for an expansion to where you can marry the mysterious lady with a taste for butter being held in Harlaus' harem, it's just confusing why such a pointless dialog option was included for faction leaders.

If I wanted to guess, it's to make it easier for the programmers so that they don't have to try to forcefully remove the dialogue option.  It's not much different from programmers dummy-ing out content as said content was supposed to be in the game, but couldn't be finished or wasn't working to their liking.  When that happens, it's easier to disable the content with a simple code of line (let's say something like contentSuperFunTime=false; to disable Super Fun Time event) than it is to completely remove code, remove all instances of where the code runs, remove assets, rework the code to work with the currently working parts of the game, and etc.
