I really hope there wasn't cheating involved between Eleanor and Jackson because I think that will add conflict between Liam and Drake. I was thinking more that Barthelemy and Godfrey wanted Constantine to sign papers to go to war (or strike against or impose tariffs against Auvernal or something along those lines) and Eleanor persuaded her husband to reconsider. Probably not as dramatic as your theories though
