In the fifth book, Carla's father basically tells Souma that he wants him to get Carla pregnant, because he thinks that that would make Carla safer because of how Souma treats his family, and Souma outright tells him that he has no intention of taking Carla as his queen but that because she's Liscia's friend, he has no intention of ever doing anything bad to her. And of course, because of her part in the rebellion, politically, it would be a bit sticky to marry her even if he wanted to. Also, the order that he gave to Carla in the third book doesn't really work if she's in love with him. So, something pretty significant would have to happen for Souma to decide that he was going to marry Carla, and really, if that's where the author wanted to take things, they probably would have already gone there given how much Liscia was pushing for him to take Carla as one of his queens after she'd been captured.

However, if she's not going to marry Souma, she really doesn't have any options at the moment. She doesn't have much in the way of opportunities to meet guys, and she's a slave. So, it seems pretty likely that she's going to be single for the forseeable future - though she has a long life ahead of her, and who knows where the story is going to go. Heck, with how long her lifespan is, for all we know, the author intends to do something like make her a secondary queen for Souma's son.
