the reason for the "rules" and her being a hostage are shaky at best. i know that romance stories don't have the best worldbuilding but come on. he's the king, be can make his own decisions about his queen. and it's not an absolute rule that the king and queen of amaha cannot have a "real" relationship, it's just bc the resentment towards amaha festered and the past king despised their queen. he's not the past kings, he's his own person. the onyl rule in their union is that she's the queen and not only a priestess, nothing else has been notorized to limit them.
one "bc i said so" from the king and there would be no obstacle
