"I think it's doable," Aske said.
Maya: .........
I'm not asking if you agree with his resignation, I'm asking if you're willing to let him off the hook for now!
Sigh, alright. Since Squad Leader Aske said "it's doable," no matter what he intended by it, I will take it to mean "he's at my disposal."
Then Queen Maya "reluctantly" attempted to retain Elder Delar, and Delar was "adamant" in his resignation. The two went back and forth for quite a while until finally, it was decided to let him "consider" for a few days before giving an answer.
Of course, this was nothing but a political performance. In reality, Elder Delar's position was definitely untenable. The best he could hope for afterwards was exile, to leave Lucitania Great Forest voluntarily and retire discreetly in any of the three great planes, allowing for everyone to save face.
Should he shamelessly insist on staying, what would happen next needed no further explanation.
