Do you think theres any chance that edelgard and claude could work together? He seems to have similar goals of making fodland a better place, from what Im aware of. Maybe if edelgard had told him her plans, they could’ve worked together from the start

There is. The most considerable obstacle is their mutual resistance to the other’s methods. Claude is far more moderate than Her Majesty, who has taken the path of decisive action for swift and meaningful change. This comes at great cost. Costs that Claude objects to. You can see how this opposition of their ideals would inhibit an alliance in its most basic forms.

But, in fairness, it is that same opposition in Ferdinand and myself that has allowed us both to reach greater heights long before we were even companionable. In the rare instances where we could set aside our differences to work together, our differing perspectives revealed new avenues we would not have seen separately.

It is not unfathomable that the same could take place if Claude and Lady Edelgard were to unite forces.

I’m certain I’ve said it before, but any early notice of our plans to outside parties would jeopardize the entire operation. I scarcely wished to tell Metodey. For many reasons. There was simply no question about keeping our strategies secret to safeguard them from Church lapdogs and corrupt nobles that, I remind you, Claude held the focus of. There are more aspects to this than what you see on the surface.
