Sweet and Sinful

I will say that for as much of a bastard the King of Goa is, how he's set up this fire is clever. He hired out the local pirate with promises of social mobility should he kill a bunch of nobodies and burn a bunch of garbage. Of course this was a lie, but the king doesn't have to dirty his own hands while also getting rid of a known criminal on the eve of the World Government's inspection

But because Bluejam literally was the one who set the fire, the king has a convenient scapegoat. He doesn't even have to come up with a reason why--his citizens are doing it themselves. Remember, Goa is a wealthy, prosperous, and probably peaceful nation. They aren't going to suspect their own royalty

Of course the military has to known the truth, but they get to play hero. We never see a single soldier outside the walls trying to save the people of Trash Mountain, and they have the perfect excuse not to try. It truly is a massive, uncontrollable fire. Even here at Edgetown it's dangerous. Maybe a few soldiers get hurt or die making sure it doesn't spread into the city proper, but that's a sacrifice the king is willing to make in order to ensure his problems go away, while the kingdom's figures of authority get an easy win "protecting" its citizens from the blaze.

If the king made one mistake it was ensure that all his aristocracy knew of the plan, but even here he knew his own nobles. If it weren't for happenstance and a little boy, the truth never would have gotten out. And even though the people of Trash Mountain were saved, the true culprit was never punished, over even suspected by the general populous.
