Well, keep in mind, it wasn't Anthy she was getting out of the way of; in fact, though they'd been an Actual Couple for some time by that point, Kozue and Corwin didn't become lovers until after Annabelle's conception. (In fact, you may recall that Anthy was both surprised and dismayed to discover belatedly that this was the case. She had assumed, perhaps uncharitably but not unreasonably, that Kozue would've wasted no time getting her leg over that once the relationship ceased to be strictly for PR purposes.)
