You have my thanks, Blair. Your service to the Church of Seiros will not be forgotten.”
>“I only did what I could. I heard about what happened at Fort Merceus. I’m glad that you were able to make it out of there with the army still in-tact.”“Yes…Leopold tells me you have your own ideas about the origins of that terror.” The look Seteth gives you is a strange one. If he suspects you of any foul doing, he keeps it to himself. “I’m curious to learn how you came to such a conclusion…but for now I’m afraid we must put that off.”
>“What? But-“ Seteth raises a hand, stopping you in your tracks.“I understand your sentiment, but if you believe what I think you believe, I’d prefer you keep it to yourself. At least until we’ve succeeded in rescuing Rhea. It isn’t something that should be spoken of lightly. Were it to somehow spread, the damage it could inflict on the army’s morale would be devastating. And right now, we’re teetering on the edge as is. I must insist that you keep whatever you think you know to yourself for now.”
“Everyone has a secret but me it seems.” Byleth sighs. “It’s fine, Blair. Right now, I’ve been assured that we don’t have to worry about another attack like that immediately, and that’s what’s important. Anything else would be a distraction from what we need to do. Our mission is clear, and after Enbarr and Edelgard finally fall…then we can deal with those who slither in the dark. One thing at a time.”
>“…Very well.” You didn’t exactly get it, but from the way Seteth spoke, you got the idea he was deeply uncomfortable with you possessing such intimate knowledge of the Agarthans and their means. You understood that in the wrong hands, that knowledge could shake the very foundation of the Church’s own teachings. Still, it left a bad taste in your mouth that he was unwilling to even hear about the threat Shambhala posed until Rhea was rescued.>A): Press the issue with Seteth.>B): Drop it and hear what you’ve been summoned for.
