This is pretty much a given considering that there was actually an argument about how similar things were in the feudal ages to the industrial age or even modern ages.
I'm actually leaning towards the Hero Route here if we can manage to marry someone trustworthy (Ezti). We know that she's trained to manage a barony, so we can leave the details to her.
The main problem would, of course, be Rogatica. If we just outright marry her, this might start a feud between us, and that might not be good, especially if we're not there to deal with it. We also might want to introduce our brother to her instead, but then we still need someone trustworthy to deal with the situations at home while we're crusading.
That said, crusading would allow us a lot of freedom of movement - as well as provide Dita with backup if we can steer the crusade towards India. If we're extremely successful, we might be able to take a chunk of Northern Africa and pretty much leap off from there and end supplies back home.
Either way...
What tack you want to take with this:
[X] Tell her about your magic and your dealings with the Chosen, and see what she has to say about.
-[X] Note that Nikolai had been given orders to practically torture Dita and you're not sure what to do with him.
[X] Promise that you'll talk with the Duke yourself at a later time and mention that he's found her.
This is actually a threat. If we talk with the Duke first, and Nikolai is corrupt, then he'll sweat over the fact that his incompetence has allowed Dita to escape from him. If Nikolai had been sending reports that he still had her, then this will probably get his ass demoted at the very least.
