I need help understanding something in the last chapters (spoiler ahead !!)

Did they.. did Erden and Laeticia agreed to sell of their unborn son to be marriage off to the imperial family so that he can make an heir to Daphne ??????
WHAT THE FUCK ?!?!?!?!?
It spoils everything.
1rst : no consent for an unborn child that's nasty
2nd : there WILL BE a big age gap between the two (at least 8 years I believe if their first child is a son, more if they have to try again to get one)
3rd : Daphne is way too young to know what's love and I know she's an heir to an empire so doesn't get much choice in the matter unfortunately but its still despicable to not even ask her or wait for her to be old enough for such decisions yk
4th : your children aren't cattle. For someone who lived in our world I expected her to at least know what's consent
5th : just because your arranged marriage work doesn't mean others will as well as yours. Yours is quite the exception actually. Not the norm.

I really hope I misunderstood somehow because of the translation. Also story at the end seemed rushed a bit, not unusual. I'm afraid I'm right and our two main characters that I thought highly of just revealed themselves to be horrible parents to be
