Awesome way to abdicate lol. He decided since no one in the high court wants to take his side and listen to him like they’re supposed to, then fuck it. It’s clear he lost interest in retaining the throne before that point and just used this as an excuse.
However, seems weird to not properly explain his line of thinking. Especially since the majority of the high court are still very loyal to him and believe he should be king. But I guess he just wanted the chill life
