My guess is that he'll seize power (either over Garlemald in its entirety given that he's the Emperor's son and thus presumably next in the line of succession) or he'll be 'disowned' by the Emperor for screwing up and will be pushing his own, separate agenda like Gaius and Nael.
I don't think Zenos will go rogue, I'm more inclined to think that between freeing ala mihgo, freeing Doma, and killing Zenos? It's going to lead to all out war with Garlemald finally.
