You said Edelgard and Byleth attacked you all at Derdriu. [ and an alternate version of yuri, apparently. ] Did they follow their apparent usual policy of getting rid of most if not all threats?
Not because I don’t think it’s something they couldn’t do. But compared to her ongoing issues with Dimitri, I would’ve thought Edelgard would’ve prioritised him.

Derdriu was an easy target for her.

It’s strange seeing Dimitri so young.

He's already quite troubled at that age. It's hard to know what lies ahead.
