Why did none of the other BE ever question Edelgards connection to the Flame Emperor? Did they ignore her own crimes while condemning Rheas?
I’ve been given the impression that these discussions have taken place privately between Her Majesty and our various companions. As well, some of the crimes attributed to the Flame Emperor were truly perpetrated by Those Who Slither in the Dark to further divide Lady Edelgard from any potential allies. Any power she amasses is a threat to their schemes. True to their coercive style, they sought to get ahead of that risk.
In the case of a certain monarch, it was rather effective. I do hope his evolving shrewdness will awaken his sense of reason soon enough.
