I think it had more to do with their father's rise in status. Leon Muno was in a unique position where he was well-liked by many influencial nobles, including the King, despite only being a Baronet.

To that end, he was placed in control of the Muno territory with the prize of rising to Earl or Marquis in the future. As a result, his daughters face a huge jump in social status, so its hard to justify marrying them off before Leon gets his proper title.

For example, if he remains a Baron, then the husband candidates are much different than if he is an Earl. His daughters were also important barganing chips to secure powerful vessals. Hence why he tried to have Karina marry Satou to bind Satou to the Muno Family, instead of just the weak bind of Honorary Nobility, which easily can be changed if Satou wants a better title.

You can see how Leon's current status when Satou meets him influences his decisions on who he thinks his daughters can marry. Soruna is allowed to marry a commoner who saved their life, and Karina is being intended for an Honorary Chevalier, who also saved their life. These are typical suitors for a Baron's daughters. However, after Leon rises to Earl, he still intendeds to try to marry Karina to Satou, even though Satou is now a Viscount. And a Viscount is a more suitable choice for an Earl's daughter.
