@Araikaru - Well, he can literally use the same method they were gonna use, except that the stakes are higher, as he is a prince. I do agree that it is honestly a long shot to say it can end a war, even he threatens and demands are met. In any type of world, discrimination, hate, and hunger for power will always exist, and will not go away. Due to that, the war is something that cannot end, but it can be stopped... for now. I guess his main goal was to find a way to get his hands on a good hostage to release everyone. Either way, this will at least stall it, or just halt it for the time being.
