What was the point of his manipulation, aka the Princess swap. In the original scenario "Fat princess" would take the throne, but as a figurehead. While the unnamed council member who was trained by the previous king would be the real power. Meanwhile "Tiny Princess's" family would be given some money to help them financially while "Fat Princess's" family get to live the comfy life of royalty.

That's underhanded and fucked up for "Tiny Princess's" family to literally sell their daughter, but how was Simon choosing the other princess better for anyone including himself?

The Unnamed Council member is pissed that he doesn't get to rule. The current king is pissed his chosen successor doesn't get to rule. Fat Princess family is pissed that they just lost their daughter AND their new cushy life. And I guess Tiny Princess family might be happy? Since they'll get to be the new royal family and got a sweet trade deal?

Still seems like all Simon did was piss off 3/4 of the country? Let them get pissed what can they do, they can't back out of the deal and its better to have Feletina is power since Simon may be able to influence her to make better decision we have not met the unknown council member so we don't even know if he can be reasoned with he might just take full control of Stenai/
