things don’t slip his sight very often, not on monastery grounds, at the very least. he’s kept a closer eye on the students this year, mostly because of the UNFORTUNATE events that seemed to have followed. to say he wasn’t expecting anything of THIS sort to surface would be an understatement. never in his 19 years of being here has anything been this drastic.
truthfully, he wishes it hadn’t come to this, but drastic times do call for drastic measures. he’d sat on it for a few weeks now, troubled as he was to learn of it. edelgard’s movements have been suspicious at best. and all that talk of an unjust society and the crests and . . .
there’s nothing he can do to sway rhea anymore, she’d gone unchecked for far too long, he was too late to do anything that might change her sights. and with the concerning origins of their latest addition to their faculty it’s too hard to ignore how far gone she is. it’s just one thing after another.
thus --- the reason he’s asked edelgard to see him after class. and why he’s now waiting in his study, tapping a finger on the desk as he reads idly. it shouldn’t be long from now. he drags his hands down his face. what he’s about to do, about to ask is . . . a lot . . .
