@JayBird Joe well Wite has respect for Mr.Kato lol. The High Priestess thing was all a fabrication from the cult, with its disappearance from the island and Marquis gone there is literally no one in charge. If Mr.Kato is indeed a noble then he would be right to be the person to be in control. Wite was latterly only doing things because Marquis told her to due to their deal they made when he first summoned her. Now that he’s gone Wite has no allegiances to anyone and can do whatever she wants.
Right now she’s allied with Azumi so if Azumi wanted to go on a warpath through the other lands Wite would gladly join if it meant getting closer to find the other jewels. It’ll make for some interesting situations when Azumi asks Wite to do stuff since Wite’s morals, or lack of normal morals, is probably something Azumi’s not used to, or is having an actual physical demon as an ally.
The other two boats probably returned to port after things returned to normal since they only sailed out slightly to get in a better position to fire their cannons, though the sails of all three ships are pretty shredded. The crew would be stranded in the island for a bit until they can get the ships back to a sailing condition.
