Doesn't exactly leave us out of a grey area, I'd say that we're probably looking bad if we break off from any known faction to call our own shots, but if you want a comparison this sorta puts us in the range of William Adams or Yasuke, samurai from foreign nations that served under major shoguns.
I can see a plausible way for us to "break off from known factions", in that the Scions have generally (I want to say always, but I'm sure someone will bring up some stuff I've forgotten) followed what the "common people" want, after calm and reasoned consideration (eg not bloodthirsty mobs calling for death to all dragons). So if all the powerful people of the known factions are detrimental to the safety of the common people, possibly due to being too wrapped up in their own concerns, then I can see the Scions going their own way and unilaterally calling off the succession contest.

Which might also lead into the narrative excuse to fight Galool Ja Ja.
