[@MissCapnCrunch]As for Brandt, he's not going to stick around for any trials. Everyone is going crazy right now, so she's going to set sail until the landlubbers can figure it all out. If they do attempt to go after him, then it's better they do where he has the greatest advantage--The Sea. Now as for later plotting, everyone witnessed the Pirate King winning the tourney fair and square, and even if they decide to make Ithobal the king (if the writer is even still here), Brandt still has that slap-in-their-pompous-faces victory under his belt that he could easily use to his advantage later in the game, if ever there is a revolt against the corrupt government from backstabbing competing houses. >:D
