wao rood (she deserves that)
Edelgard continues to leave a bitter impression upon her heart. To think that she allowed someone of such a nature so close to her. So close to her family. Can it be true that Rhea was truly so unaware? She suspects that for just some moments, that bitterness crosses her expression, quickly put aside and replaced with something that is not quite blank, but serious. Attentive.
He's putting her in a very difficult position, and somehow she isn't surprised. This is not the first time Claude has directed such prying questions to her. Even in his younger years, he's been direct. Masterfully direct. She suspects there are not words that properly convey how uncomfortable he makes her. He may not stand against her in such an overt way, but she's well aware that he may be a threat.]
I have not seen Edelgard since the happenstance of the Royal Tomb.
[And that is a truth. She has heard a great deal of Edelgard's aims. The ambitions of the Empire. She knows enough to understand that she is in grave danger whenever she ought to make return for Fódlan. As a result, there's not much in Claude's plethora of information that comes as... a surprise. Edelgard has made it quite plain and simple that she means to eradicate Rhea off the face of the living earth. The reasoning...
Well. Rhea can hardly understand how deep that goes. She has never asked and she never intends to. What use is the impassioned heart of a human interested in senseless war?]
Her opposition lies with the Church of Seiros, though to what extent, I did not inquire. In the moment she declared herself a threat, I could no longer permit her to stay within the grounds of Garreg Mach.
[Although in the end, her own defence of Garreg Mach had not been successful either. And for her own safety, Rhea could only flee. Cowardice, perhaps, but she continues to live another day.]

He absently drums his fingers on the desk his Gear is sitting on.] That's something I've been wondering about, though. I mean, to throw the entire Adrestian Empire into a brutal civil war with not just the church, but all its neighbors...the Edelgard I know isn't stupid, and doesn't do things without good reason. But she's also not so charismatic that I think she could just talk a whole country into taking such extreme measures - and sending so many of them off to die in battle - easily. But, well...there's been some tension between the church and the Empire for a long time, hasn't there? There hasn't even been a branch of the Church of Seiros there for awhile. And then, of course, we know the western branch revolted against the church as well...in fact, they were targeting you specifically.
It seems like the Church of Seiros has become increasingly unpopular, wouldn't you say? And you in particular, as well. Enough for people to be willing to die opposing the both of you. And yet from the outside, there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of justification for that, does there? I mean, everyone knows about all the church's good works. There's people like Catherine and Cyril who can't stop singing your praises. But then there's people like Captain Jeralt, who didn't even tell our dear Teach that he'd ever been one of your knights or of the existence of the church at all, and let everyone he knew think he was dead before a total accident brought him and Teach to us...
It's all so mysterious, isn't it? Although I guess it would be, since I know Seteth was very careful about controlling what kinds of books were allowed in the Garreg Mach library. So it wouldn't be too surprising if library books weren't the only kinds of information the church has been selective with letting other people have access to...
I'd really like to know what could make so many people declare war on the church, Rhea. In fact, considering we've spent years weathering a bloody war seemingly as a direct result of whatever these mystery factors might be, one might argue that I've got a right to know. And who would be in a better position to have that information than you?
