the society portrayed in the otome game is quite rare in that it is both a monarchy and seems to have widespread adoption of meritocracy. While monarchy in our actual world did follow some principles of meritocracy, the fundamental idea of monarchy is that bloodlines are important, so accidents of birth matter more than actual ability usually. Otherwise why be a monarchy at all, just let capable people be the leaders

If you want to get realpolitik about it, I’d say it is about maintaining the status quo by co-opting anyone with power to disrupt it, i. e. making sure the MC doesn’t become a revolutionary.

you are right. Letting people like Anna Doll becomes part of the system so that she never thinks of destroying it.
