The Creature Cases

IMPORTANT NOTICE 4 WORMCHAMP72 SUPPORTERS

There is some unnerving implications about the fake Lord Arundel (who's heavily implied to be a disguised Thales) being considered in-universe as another instigator of the Insurrection of the Seven, despite the fact the first act the real Arundel did during said event was fleeing along with his niece to the Kingdom for the sake of her safety. The way both Hubert and the Church's books talk about Arundel and Duke Aegir's alliance, 5 years after the Insurrection had taken place, make clear that, to give the impression Arundel had always been on board with the plan, they had to have teamed-up nearly instantly once the former returned to the Empire with Edelgard, which suggests both had been likely in contact for some time already. What makes it even worse, is that in Lysithea's A Support with Byleth, she mentions that 3 years prior to the Insurrection, she saw Agarthans working along with Imperial staff for their crest experiments in Ordelia territory in plain sight, and given her words in her paralogue that those who fled from Hrym (which was under the Duke's control back then) to Ordelia were forced to return in the end, ultimately implies and corroborates that, not only the Duke had been in contact with the Agarthans for quite some time already, but that he is more or less single handedly responsible for allowing them to gain so much foothold in the Empire to begin with (and by proxy, eventually sending Fódlan into ruin). It makes me imagine ferdinands reaction to that
