Booo by putting Rio's estate near the castle he's 1 step below of being a Galarc Royalty, thats how Francois is playing it he's not forcing Rio but he's showing Rio, looking at the stuff posted on the wiki shows that Charlotte has already told her idea of getting married to Rio to her own father, even if Rio does end up with both Christina and Flora, he also becomes a defacto king nominee to the Beltran crown will he take the offer is entirely a different matter though hence Charlotte has also lampshaded the she's willing to drop from Galarc royalty if she's going to marry Rio because thats just going to simplify matters not unless a very life changing event in Galarc will result in them losing Michel and Francois. If Rio does have enough support he will end up probably claiming both crowns unifying Beltram and Galarc (this isnt unheard off in real world history... Austria-Hungary empire is ONE HEKK OF A COMPLICATED KINGDOM)

The only event that Karasuki bloodline will play its role is if there's going to be a succession crisis in Yagumo, I doubt that will happen by being a descendant of a Princess he has a right to the claim if he has to be scouted for it. From the looks of it a succession crisis in Yagumo wouldnt happen but who knows... (basically reminiscent of the Onin War in Japan)

Tl;dr if Rio does one day end up getting hitched to Christina, Flora and Charlotte he has 3 legitimate royal points to get to the Beltram throne, by ending up with Charlotte if plot demands it he can also take the Galarc throne by 1 point, as Charlotte doesnt have the succession right to her since Michel has children unless he doesnt

As for Beltram ultimately Christina has the defacto succession right to her then Flora then Haruaki if he does end up marrying Rosalie then Rui if he ends up marrying Loris
