Throughout history, former enemies have become allies. It happened with the Klingons in Star Trek and it could happen with the Merseians in Technic civilization. We have seen sympathetic Merseians on Dennitza in A Knight Of Ghosts And Shadows. Let us take that thought one stage further. The morale of the Roidhunate cracks before the Empire falls. Flandry and Tachwyr re-meet as former adversaries but with no remaining conflict between them.
If Aycharaych did, after all, survive the bombardment of Chereion, then he certainly has no remaining reason to serve the Roidhunate. Quite the contrary. I imagine him and Axor examining Ancient ruins together.

I can't see Tachwyr the Dark, however discouraged he was at the end of THE GAME OF EMPIRE, so drastically changing his lifelong views and beliefs. Or being allowed by the Grand Council to act on them even if he did.
I loved how Stirling wrote his Time Patrol pastiche, "A Slip in Time." So I can see him very possibly writing a similarly excellent Flandry pastiche. And he said he would love to try! Maybe for a second MULTIVERSE?
Ad astra! Sean
Sean,
Tachwyr would not do it on his own. I imagine the whole Roidhunate disintegrating like the Soviet Union.

Kaor, Paul!
Yes, but it would take generations for the Roidhunate to disintegrate. For one thing it was not as stupidly and incompetently organized and managed as was the USSR.
Ad astra! Sean
