What did your investigation uncover, Hubert?

It appears those who slither in the dark had nothing to do with any of this.

This plot was hatched by Houses Riegan and Gloucester alone.

In other words, we know exactly where the idea to encircle our troops came from.
linkEdelgardvolume_up
Claude von Riegan, leader of the Alliance.

He is going to be a true thorn in our side now that he is in charge.
linkHubertvolume_up
Back when Duke Riegan had no clear heir, the lords were busy maneuvering to be next in line.

Then Claude appeared in an instant and laid claim to the seat of power.
linkHubertvolume_up
We were hoping that would be enough to throw the Alliance into disarray, but he has done a remarkable job of seizing the reins.
linkEdelgardvolume_up
Feigning discord with Gloucester while they privately schemed together was an especially nice touch.

Sadly, it seems we're facing a gifted tactician as well as a skilled leader.
linkHubertvolume_up
Yet for a tactician, he woefully underestimated Count Bergliez.

I say we finish his education. It is time Claude learns the gulf between his power and the Empire's cannot be bridged with a few clever tricks.
