Good guy reformist Rayne accepts the blame alongside Petr. It really depends on which type of Rayne I'm playing. I'm not exactly hating on Lucian here, he's an irreplaceable member of your cabinet who does his job superbly, but I'm not buying the idea that he's doing it all just because he believes in you. Being a corrupt dick is just extra, and never enough on its own to make him scheme against you. All the reason he needs to betray you is resenting Petr keeping his VP position and believing that he's smarter than you. He literally bugs the entire palace including your office, even when he's supposedly loyal to you. The events around the scandal aren't shy about telling you how much Lucian stands to gain from Petr going down and how badly he wants it. What? You thought Lucian just wanted to be your sidekick? Of course he's planning to be your successor once Petr's out of the picture.

He helps you pass the new constitution because being one of its architects looks killer on his presidential mandate. He's clearly crucial to the adminisration and therefore the administration's success is crucial to him. Keep in mind that this man spends as much time with you as Petr and you still barely even know him. Yeah, none of that indicates he's loyal to you. And seeks actions that prefers Sordland's stability more than anything else. He works night and day, lobbying the assembly for you, connecting important contacts such Heron to talk with you, guides and follows you through no matter what kind of constitution you reform. Him of taking unnecessary actions of spying on his colleagues just to make sure the administration is not infiltrated.
