Banished for Monastery Crimes

[Photo ID] Hubert, back turned to the camera, speaking to Ferdinand about his father (Lord Vestra): His guilt or innocence on the matter of treason will remain forever shrouded in mystery.

As always with Hubert, the details are everything. There's a reason they have him facing away from the camera for talking about this, even though you have his headshot in the corner to convey expression. This is something Hubert doesn't like to face, even though he wanted to exact revenge against his father. Not confronting his father's possible innocence is a big part of Hubert's feelings on him, because they are conflicting and complex.

I don't think he has any reservations about killing his father, honestly. But there are a lot of hurt feelings surrounding his dad that requires more self-reflection and healing than Hubert frankly has time for during the war and all the years leading up to it. So he pushes it off, buries those feelings deep, and refuses to face them.

Everyone talks about Gremory Linhardt or whoever but IntSys sleeping on Gremory Hube ✨🔮
