[ That, he understands. That she would pick her own happiness over this farce, he does support in a way, but there are logistical steps that he can't even begin to dream of. Has a Lucis Caleum ever gotten divorced? It wasn't something he was aware of ever happening; Regis had loved his wife fully and totally and it had never been a consideration.
With other people this conversation may be considered a threat. He'd thought that it was at first, but given the care with which she's delivered the news and the way they've talked, it's more as if she's honestly divorcing him for a normal reason couples get divorced. He'd...never considered that an option, before. It's beautifully simple, really. The important parts for the treaty are handled, and they have their mutual connection from one country to the next. It's been rather neatly tied up and if she divorces him, well. It isn't as if the alliance needs to stop. The realization hits him slower than he'd like and he stares at her, torn between shock and disbelief. ]
No, I -- I wouldn't dream of ever trying to do something like that. Of course. She's as much your daughter as his.
[ Give him a moment, the brilliant mind that Noctis loves so much is a little overwhelmed here. He doesn't need to ask if she's certain; he doesn't need to trust she's looked into the intricacies of this, to determine if it's valid, if she can do it. ]
I can speak to them tomorrow. If you'll let me know any changes internally you'd like made, I can make them.
