He'll gaslight the emperor by saying He'll abdicate being the crown prince and be a loyal son-in-law of lombardy. He loves Tia so much he's willing to be like shananet's ex-husband and I think if the emperor didn't gave the decree he's seriously will do that. He also let Astana live for this reason and blackmail the emperor into passing the crown to him or give the crown to the closest fam to imperial. Jovaness didn't like this cuz it'll be an insult to the imperial fam and he can't deny that Perez's is the only one capable and deserving to sit in the throne despite his hatred towards him looking so much like the previous emperor
