[There is a good amount of people Hubert has to keep an eye on for the sake of Lady Edelgard's plans. They are often the children of nobles of importance, but some belong to the Church or to various other organizations that could prove to be a headache if things don't go according to plan.
To put it bluntly, Sayaka is not one of the people he needs to concern himself with. While yes, she is a noble, she isn't from a family that would pose too great a threat to their plans even if things should go awry. Yet Hubert finds himself drawn to her anyway - out of curiosity rather than obligation. She's an interesting young woman and one he finds fascinating for her own merits rather than her family name.
Sometimes, he wonders if there's even more to her that even he hasn't figured out yet. It's fascinating; that's why he keeps following her when time allows.
Tonight is one of those nights. He's seen her go out on dates with this nobleman before - though he isn't one to follow without a purpose, so their exact relationship is unknown. It isn't as though he has that much time to spy on Sayaka.
Regardless, he follows at a safe distance; Hubert isn't planning on watching for too long since this likely is a private moment between lovers and he is not interested in that, but things take a turn for the bizarre very quickly.
Sayaka has dropped him to the ground with an ease that's quite impressive, and then the knife comes out. Hubert's aware of what's going to happen even before she starts stabbing, but he doesn't move from his spot hidden away.
Oh, he should intervene. Certainly, he's aware of that. But if he were to intervene, then that would cause... problems. For one, it would draw far too much attention to Sayaka and the Black Eagles - and possibly even Hubert himself. The alternative isn't a pretty picture either, but Hubert has made up his mind about how to handle this even before Sayaka's finished her tirade and gotten her fill of stabbing.
Making one noble "disappear" is far preferable than risking exposing Lady Edelgard's plans, after all. And besides, this is fascinating.
Sayaka won't be alone for long - she has enough time to start babbling before Hubert makes himself known, stepping forward and approaching with ease.]
What an odd mess you've found yourself in.
[The words are perhaps surprisingly relaxed considering the situation, and Hubert studies the boy's corpse with a hand to his chin.]
Would you care to tell me what happened?
[It's to gauge her mental state and see how she wants to handle it - Hubert's already decided what he's going to do, but Sayaka might need a moment to come to terms with what just happened.]
