maybe he just wants to keep her there cause he's afraid that CP will pursue hestia?
Hmm interesting
From what I understand from the novel the reason kael taking side for diana to stay as s crown princess it's because he wanted to diana stop pestering hestia and he just wanted live in peace with hestia. Because it's more inconvenient on his part if he gonna let diana to step down and the emperor and the crown prince also ask him a favor.
where Kaelus will work in Diana's favor to keep her standing as crown princess after the boat sinks? like ok we get it you don't love her now, it's just a calculated move (allegedly)... but saying her remaining as a crown princess is for the benefit of the empire is hella shortsighted and detrimental to the current political climate. it really frustrated me reading that part.
i wonder of they'll change anything and make this part of the story less annoying
