Actually, I think it make a frightening amount of sense. Consider this scene in volume 11:
Pay attention to the very last paragraph. I have a suspicion that, as much as a Miyuki x Masaki marriage would make perfect sense in the context of Mahouka's world, I am not very sure whether Masaki would even be able to consummate his marriage with Miyuki. Odds are, their children would not be conceived through sex, at all.
And once Miyuki takes over, she might well commit a huge taboo - in desire that her brother and herself produce a child, but because Tatsuya would never sleep with his sister, Miyuki would mix her genetic material with Tatsuya to produce one of the most powerful magician the world has ever seen.
In the end, once Maya is in her grave, and Miyuki is in charge, Miyuki might well outright divorce poor Masaki. The official justification would be that , as Ichijou Masaki will be the next Ichijou clan head, for the sake of maintaining the fiction of balance, the Yotsuba new clan head has decided to end her marriage to maintain the sham of a balance of power.
And Ichijou Masaki subsequently develops a relationship with Yotsuba Miyuki that parallels the relationship between Saegusa Koichi and Yotsuba Maya in the previous generation. Or maybe not - perhaps Ichijou would grasp the situation with the Yotsuba's, and anticipate that his marriage with Miyuki would alas be nothing more than an arranged marriage, an unrequited love that inevitably comes to an end. From the very beginning of his marriage with Miyuki, Ichijou sees the ending, and resigns himself to it.
Two children would come out from their pairing. The older would be conceived not through sex but artificial insemination. The younger would result from Miyuki more or less secretly raping Tatsuya, and then passing off the child as Ichijou's. When the divorce happens, the older child goes with Ichijou, while Miyuki keeps the younger child. The older child,a male is powerful, but in the conventional sense. The younger child born ten months later, is , a female is a demigod that's the pinnacle of generations of Yotsuba efforts. Separated when both were very young, they meet each other again at First Magical High School, with neither knowing they are siblings, for like Maya before her, Miyuki hides the true lineage of her daughter.
I also suspect Mayumi would end up marrying Katsuto. They will have a good, solid and stable marriage, and Mayumi would be somewhat happy. That's right, I ship Mayumi with Juumonji - their morality seems broadly quite similar, and likely their political positions.
I also think Koichi Saegusa's maneuvering might well end up with Koichi dead before Mahouka is out - we may well actually have a magnificent duel between Koichi and Mayu at the climax of the second year, that ends with Koichi dead, and Maya with a few decades of what's left of her life shaved of as a result of the exertion - on-top of how ever many years the trauma inflicted on her, during the Nightmare shaved off her lifespan.
Finally, I suspect Maya would have a deathbed request - she will ask Tatsuya to use his abilities to undo his mother's work on Maya's mind. With the spell undone, the extended non-life and stay of execution that Miyu's works afforded expires, and Maya, in her dying moments, dies as truly herself. In those final moments, she will ask the siblings for forgiveness, and it being granted, dies in ironic peace, as peaceful as any Yotsuba could die anyway.
