I'm wondering if this deal is gonna come to bite Rudeus in the back later on, the whole thing seems a bit too wholesome to to not have some poison mixed in.
weak spoilers from the novel
Ariel does use her connections with Rudeus, and she is a tiny bit manipulative, but there's no poison here - just a give-and-take relationship. And the friendship towards Sylphy is genuine, and part of why she's encouraging the marriage (Sylphy is not bound by oath to Ariel, and she doesn't want her involved in politics and potentially spoiling their friendship).
