His party obviously wants to get to the bottom of the whole thing, and most likely isn't interesting in finger pointing, only truth. All the while, the two "blamers" (read: you did it! "No, you did it!") argues up a storm and cause a ruckus, war.
Your enemy party obviously will try to take advantage...the slow approach works best here, a slow, sneaky take over in which Negi's party gradually under covers. Once he's gathered enough evidence...is it too late to reconcile the two warring parties?
Is it too late to come together and face the real enemy? Obviously not...and even if it is too late to reconcile, Negi's party could be the sole force driving home the stake to end this nonsense.
Fun sides are sparse in war, but since this is his Honeymoon in a ways, one can still find moments of peace in the grim grips of war. Introducing new blood, friends that add hilarity to the mix as well as provide strong back up, would be a good place to start.
Of course, then there is the unpopular road the one you most likely don't want to take, heck, I'd be kind of cautious taking this one...in which they succeed in terminating Negi and co, starting up a true war. The warring parties would have to pull themselves together quick to realize it's not each other they have to fight, it's the outsiders.
That's the obvious stuff, now for a few ideas...
Spoiler:
Looking at the fun, what kind of place are they staying in exactly? What can they do there? Swim? Hike? Putting the emphasis on their hotel activities, and adding some humor along the way might be a way to lighten the mood.
(For some reason, and this moment, the famous, "That's not soda you're drinking Negi, it's sake!" comes to mind. I wonder what a slightly tipsy Negi might do...)
Of course, think about background. Is there a traveling band that decided to stay in the same hotel for some odd reason? Maybe someone wants to teach the royal couple something fun? (Dancing lessons maybe as a recreational activity?)
Of course, during the "war", regular "blooper moments" come to mind. The times you really want to ask a character..."what the heck were you thinking?!" (If they were at all.)
(Ever had an OC randomly attack a character in the middle of the night just because they were bored? Set up a few pranks to lighten the mood, Theodora and her "naughty/ mischievous" personality comes to mind here...)
Does that help any?

That helps a great deal, to some extent. I tried replying earlier, but the Internet connection got cut off. I doubt I'll be taking the unpopular route, if that's what's gonna happen. Plot Armor and all that.
Well, I won't say anything about the parties' involvement other than that one of them sent Negi there, and he's not likely one to kill him.
To answer your question, the happy couple +1 will be staying in a private villa in Marbella, Spain's equivalent of Las Vegas. It's a party town filled with 'stinking' rich people willing to spend some cash. I give thanks to Piers Morgan for having done a tour of the place and then put it on TV.
