Since both Ellen and Tigre are from two  different backgrounds and social statuses (as Tigre is a Count Brunishman) and (Eleonora is a Zhcted War Maiden), Eleonora requires the King's permission to get married because of her status as a war maiden. Since Tigre is a Brunishman and their nations are only temporarily getting along, Ellen is ultimately worried that if the king  doesn't approve of their relationship, then he (the king) may try to forcibly separate the pair; inadvertantly causing a major incident that could trigger a war between Brune and Zhchted. Additionally, as a result of her relationship with Tigre, the King may ask her to step down as a war maiden if she were to have kids.

So, basically she wants to find a way where she and Tigre can get married without any social/political/racial backlash and get to keep to their current social positions. I get what you are saying and i totally agree PhoenixRising88,but the king is already dead leaving the duties to the princess unless they found a new king and even if he is not dead Tigre has great relations with the king and i don't see why the king won't let them be together and both countries is at peace even temporarily that won't stop Tigre from finding ways to persuade the king from letting them get married.

and the part where you said she may be ask to step down as a war maiden if she were to have kids is part of the reason but you left out another reason is that Ellen is a war maiden which means at anythime she has to go on war with other countries that want to attack Zhchted leaving her dangerous in any stuation if she is pregnant anything can happen to her in battle and Tigre can't always be there to protect her causing worries for both of them.
