But Nick was instramental if the raid on the Royal mansion, which resulted in the King missing. Even though Sean may or may not know what happend to his dad. I can not see him sheading many tears. Unless there are no witnesses Nick will get the blame. This would make Nick a target from the other families. Worse the other families would expect Sean to avenge his father. A real tight situation.

Now that could all be very interesting to watch.

Maybe, but I don't really see what she has to gain. All she will get is she will become another Royals puppet, free to dance at there amusement and suffer more lashes in the future.

Syscrash53 wrote: So the other Royal families could come after NIck. Question is does Sean give up his position for Nick, Does he stand by and do nothing, or does he come up with a plan to get Nick off the hook but maintain his position.

I don't see Nick as that much of a friend for Sean to give up his position for him. He would not go after him but alos would not turn him in.

I also don't see Sean coming to Nick's rescue unless it is about the keys. He would resuce Nick for fear Roylas get Nick they get his keys.

I agree Nick and Sean aren't truly friends, there convenient allies. However I see option 3 working best for Renard, even without the keys having a Grimm (or two) on his side, could certainly help him with his efforts for the throne.

Sean could also take the position that he sanctioned the raid to recover his daughter. His reason Kenneth had conspired to kidnap her and could not be trusted. His father being there was something Sean was not aware of. Sean could even go as far as stating by the King's orders he was suppose to retrieve Diana from Kenneth who the King saw as a trator. Who is left to say different. Rispoli, Kenneth and the King are dead. Adalind does not know what Sean told Nick. even Hank and Wu don't know what Sean told Nick. Other then Juliette I am not sure anyone else even knew the King was there.

Indeed all that is possible. And it makes perfect sense. I can easily see him doing that.

And then he's safe to pursue the throne, and once he's inside no doubt Renard will still have everyone convinced he's working for the interests. And he'll probably manage to convince Nick to stand by him (having a natural born warrior-or two- standing beside him would certainly help his claim).
