Hes shocked not only by how calm Emilia is, but how chipper and confident she is.
Until then shell stay put, not for her sake but for the sake of the other wives.
To that end, shes going to go through with the wedding.

Under normal circumstances, wedding Regulus means everyone Emilia knows will be wiped out.
But Emilia is no ordinary fiancee, nor are her friends ordinary people.
As with most anime villains, their self-absorption and underestimating of the good guys will surely be their undoing.

That said, theres nine whole episodes left.
Im not under any illusions that it will be Easy Street for Subie & Co.
But like Emilia, I am confident that in the end they will prevail.
