So you marry into other royal families to maintain diplomatic relationships and ascertain treaties or alliances?

No. Though that has been attempted by other Kingdoms many times. Our Kingdom actually a large continent. While the others share the neighboring continents. My father's Knights aid in keeping the place in check. And they have random meetings to make sure that whoever wants to become our enemy can't follow them. We mainly use trade as a way of allegience.
