Jean does have claim to the throne

In episode 8, Nino "wants to make sure Jean understands" that he has no claim to the throne, to which Jean says he understands. But Mauve thinks he is the heir to the throne. I think her team probably knows more than Nino. Wherever they got their information from, it's probably more accurate than whatever Abend lets Nino know. Confirmed: He didn't claim the throne.
