It is very well possible Crovo refused to marry her mother, because it would make him Emperor- or some other slightly lower title. This would mean, most likely he could no longer be the royal protector to her and her daughter. It would also signifcantly change his duties to the throne.

Corvo had been constantly acclaimed as the worlds finest bodyguard, and protector her majesty could hope for, and later the deadliest man in all of dunwall. Perhaps Corvo refused to marry her, as he beleived no other person could protect her as well as he could. There are various hints to say they were very much in love, so perhaps this love and desire to protect the empress supersceeded ant sort of desire to be Emperor.
