I personally headcanon Edelgard as poly in addition to being bi; so basically her endgame is marrying Byleth whilst also banging Bernadetta, Petra, Dorothea, Monica, Lysithea, and Hubert at the same time.

okay it's been a while but I'm having FE3H Thoughts

Monica and Hubert's relationship to each other and to Edelgard is already very good, what with the ambiguously-platonic bisexual love triangle and the clash of personalities between two equally devoted people with very different ideas about the proper way to express that devotion.

But it takes on a whole new dimension if Edelgard's actual love interest isn't either one of them - and it gets downright funny if the ship here is Berniegard.

Imagine the reaction when both of them put two and two together and realize that Edelgard is utterly, catastrophically smitten with Bernadetta of all people.

Imagine Monica's response. What's a girl to do when her crush does swing that way but the lucky girl isn't her? Well, in this case by channeling her complicated feelings on the matter into trying to assist and learn about Bernadetta as well - to very mixed results.

Then Hubert runs into a problem - see, he's beginning to suspect Bernadetta doesn't like him. And if she and Edelgard were to get together, then it wouldn't do if Edelgard's partner couldn't trust Edelgard's right hand. But how is he supposed to gain that trust? (The truth is, Bernie doesn't actually dislike him. He just keeps accidentally scaring her. He's mortified when he figures it out.)

Imagine the jealousy. Monica's jealous of Bernie and feels guilty about it because she loves seeing Edelgard happy but is sad that it's with someone else. Hubert's jealous of the attention Bernie gets from Edelgard and loathes how immature that makes him feel. Both of them try desperately not to show it.

And then Hubert and Monica independently arrive at the same conclusion: they need to help Edelgard and Bernadetta get together.

Two diametrically opposed personalities. Same devotion. Two matchmakers who cannot stand each other. Same match.

Imagine the comedy of errors that ensues. The zany schemes, the attempts to sabotage each other's plans without actually damaging El and Bernie's relationship. Both Monica and Hubert getting to know Bernie better and no longer being 100% sure of who they're jealous of. Both of them trying to achieve the same goal in very different ways - all the while keeping the whole mess secret from Edelgard and Bernie.

Everyone except Edelgard and Bernie knows about it. Dorothea is gossiping about it. Caspar somehow figured out everything. Claude teases Hubert about it. Byleth doesn't say they're having fun watching, but you can tell they're thinking it. There is a betting pool.

Obviously El and Bernie actually do get together - eventually. And their reactions when they learn about the nonsense that went down to get them there are going to be priceless.
