Maybe we do not understand each others thinking quite well, but that shouldn't be a problem. I am not opposed to your new goverment in any way, for all I care, make it a kingdom and I won't be oppsed, all I say is that I never was and never will be in the chain-of-command, nor in the masses of blind followers, but as long as we will all work towards the greatness of our nation, who will care about that. Just never try to pull pranks on me, I don't want to see any of council... no, sorry, goverment ... let's say, workers, trying to sniff around me, or my actions, and trust me, if there will be one, I will notice - I have many eyes and ears, much closer that you could imagine.
I will surely follow laws, as long as they won't be interfering with my actions. I do things in my own way, if you will say "Corsairs are our brethen now" I will still continue to tear their limbs off. I think you get what I mean.
Hell, who knows, maybe we will be friends in future.
