There is not going to be a retaliation. All of the "retaliation" that could possibly happen to Ikki happened before he entered the tournament. Remember what happend with Akaza the whole world had found out about his relationship with Stella, and the retaliation was his hearing and them actively trying to screw him. And the only further retaliation was from the king himself, but that didn't stack up to be much, and it should be settled once the tournament with cardle kingdom is over.

As for Ikki and Shizuku, it was never really a thing except for volume 1. Ikki only had feelings for a shizuku in a sibling sense. You can love your family without having sexual feelings for them. Shizuku was the one who kept percisting with it, but i think she eventually knew it was never going to happen and let go of such notions.
