Well, a while ago, Millay was asked by her own family to attend a marriage interview - probably to strike an agreement or alliance with another bloodline and fortune. It's not really surprising since she's part of the nobility, but when you know that when Empress Marianne was assassinated, her allies the Ashfords, ran bankrupt, one might wonder whether, as part of her responsibilities as the Ashford heir, she's not trying to keep the family afloat or at least entrust its future to other, wealthier hands.
Moreover, Lelouch once wondered how long he could count on the Ashfords' support - hinting that it either might not last long or that the Ashfords cannot cater to his needs for much longer. And that, in turn, would suggest financial problems.
Who knows? Maybe Millay will ask Euphemia for financial or official backing, knowing that both of them were companions of infortune for a dozen hours or so.
