Elizabeth is the mother of Sean and both of them seemed not interested in marriage as a committed relationship. Elizabeth's negative remarks about Adalind did show to us that she had no interest in Sean have any kind of relationship with Adalind.
Right from the start Sean wanted to continue havings affairs while he planned to have fake Adalind wife. Sean was embarrassed in front of Diana about his relationship with Adalind but otherwise showed no interest in her as women except as a "slut". Frederick did not care if Elizabeth or Sean lived or not.
Women characters do not have to be having sex with the lead to be important to the story.
