Despite his millions of crimes M-B-H was able to walk away from SS HQ a free Dino. Lakes correctly pointed out that under Dino Law M-B-H was still Emperor and thus had the power of pardon. He promptly pardoned himself! No longer wanted under any crime M-B-H was immediately released from custody by the SS much to the disgust of Ronald.
M-B-H has joined VERITAS = TRUTH, the party formed by Lakes. Although in a few days his Emperorship will expire M-B-H has set his sights on becoming a Consul. He has appointed himself a Senator when the Emperorship expires. Ronald froze all powers of the Emperorship (including his own) to prevent M-B-H making any more decrees.
M-B-H will have to be careful after january 1st however, as he will be no longer Emperor he will not be immune from prosecution anymore. He has promised a clean fight in the politics of the new Republic though no one believes that for a second of course.
