Roasted babies!
Finally, Rhea eats babies in a gruesome fashion!
Man, what an evil character, but somehow Annette and ashe are siding with her! Even Catherine and cyril (so he wasn't dead!) are horrified, but obey nonetheless because they are evil and listen to an evil monster who eats roasted babies!
More seriously, Edel had something to tell us and as I guessed it wasn't about her involvement in Jeralt's death, nope, but somehow, Edel knew that Billy and Billy's mom (? Was the plot to kill Jeralt a way to determine if he was involved in the Sothis plot device?) were tied to the so-called goddess!
Which we can s rank in this route but plot isn't Edel's BE route's forte, I'm afraid.
And she was sure we were going to side with rhea but she was so surprised and so happy when Billy brainfarted!
It would have been touching if Edel didn't do the previous things we've seen her do in the last chapter., I. E. "we must absolutely kill King Dimitri"
We finally know what she hates Rhea : because Rhea is a dragon!
For humanity!
And nope, we're going to conveniently ignore that it is for the sake of humanity that this pointless war happened, that we're siding with evulz people turning real bona-fide humans into monsters :)
So, back to the plot, Edel cried after beheading Dimitri, when she called him a fool during the battle. But it's only when he's dead that Edel reveals that poor Dimitri lived a shit life and suffered through the tragedy of Duscur because of Nuncle Arundel, but not even once did she bother to explain this to him, of course :)
Well Dimitri, like any reasonable person, would have called Edel on her alliance with her nuncle, but again, BE route isn't about the plot or coherence.
Dimitri's map was hardcore though, with all those randoms turning into monsters and Dedue joining them :'(
Worse, they move just after their transformation!
Rhea under her new/old identity passed by, she was a pain to deal with and she came with her weird machines, but they seem pretty mechanical compared to the beasts but less advanced than the titanus (in French) we fought at Arianrhod against the sultry lady whose name I forgot (Cornelia?)
I think the Monica gang, through the sultry lady corrupted the Kingdom from within and gave them those gfdi gems, but I guess this is something we'll learn in the BL route.
Anyways to hammer how evil rhea is, Hubert and Edel note that she uses the goddess' name to cheer up her troops, but after the Arianrhod event where they omitted nuncle Arundel's involvement to put the blame on the church to motivate Caspar and Co, it only made me sigh.
Nuncle Arundel passes by in the intro of the last chapter, saying that he and Edel share the goal of eradicate Rhea, they exchange thinly veiled threats but then nothing.
Oh well, I'm sure the issue with the Monica gang is going to be resolved in a satisfying way, and not handwaved at all!
I am weak and read spoilers :)
