Poor delusional prince's consort... with a future queen like her, I'm afraid the kingdom isn't going to last to see her failure of a reign.
Though I'm not sure the prince needs any help in bringing about the ruin of his kingdom. Not reading or realizing the consequences of what he's signing, his stupidity, and the mass of illegal activities and bad diplomacy he's doing all for his pride it going to destroy their alliances, their economy, and finally their kingdom.
Still I wonder if the Kingdom would have found out who was behind the Coin stuff without Elizabeth's spy and manage to investigate so fast. Surely they would have, but the speed allowed them to trap Friede.
Let's imagine Elizabeth wasn't there, the Kingdom would have figured out what Friede was doing, so they could have had the time to stop any investigation, the treaty would not have been signed and any proofs destroyed.
About the treaty, the Manga changed that part. Friede actually read the entire treaty in the Light Novel, thinking there could be a trap (he realize Lucas' goal was to get him sign that treaty from the start). But in that case, it's not clear how the treaty was written.
