also i just realized but re: Paris/Helene:

why do i suddenly sense Paris is gonna swoop in on these treaty/negotiation talks and be like "hey you should totally put me and Helene into a arranged marriage in return for our political backing. That way Kylon gains guaranteed loyalty in return for making her our neighboring Emperor"

because like

considering his personality and the current situation, as well as Paris's own motives and shit, if he gets his dad to agree to him having a political marriage with Helene, literally everyone in the story wins in some way

#PLEASE TELL ME IM ON TRACK WITH THIS BC IT'D BE GENIUS #Paris offering to be the quote unquote political hostage that guarantees Helene won't screw over the Kylon Emperor not only solves Lyla #trying to establish friendly diplomatic relations between Kylon and Belliana #but it would give Paris the excuse he needs to seem more suitable for the throne to his dad #while also appeasing his dad's hesitations and giving the idea that they'll have a heavy guarantee Helene won't turn on them #and if Paris gets politically wed to Helene than he has an excuse to be with her now that war is off the table and he can't do that bs #it works for Helene because she gets even more political backing against Odelia who she DEFINITELY doesn't want on the throne #plus Helene will get time to warm up to Paris and him being a political “hostage” works with their current relationship slowburn #it also ensures that Paris and Helene's relationship continues to be a slowburn while also giving them an excuse to grow as people #and gosh if this is true it'd be so neat to see i actually want this to be a thing PLEASE
