They were all fully aware of Azura's appearance by this point, there is no excuse for not recognizing her. This is somehow even more baffling that Corrin didn't recognize her.
[Hubert is trying to remain restrained, but boy is it not working!! This is the stupidest thing he's ever seen, and he's spied on Ferdinand and Lorenz's tea parties before.]
I suppose now we know that everyone from Nohr is a complete idiot.
I agree with you entirely. There truly must be something in the waters of Nohr that lowers the intelligence of all who dare drink it, because there is absolutely no way that anyone can be this idiotic...
[narrator voice: and that was only the beginning of the idiocy]
Well, it would seem that at least worked, before Corrin wound up following Azura to... [...squints.] Another world entirely, it seems. I don't believe I've seen 'Valla' on any of the maps pertaining to this world...?
[His tone is curious, in case Hubert might have some knowledge.]
Perhaps it is...it does say that Azura entered it on her own, so perhaps it is a place she holds some familiarity with.
[Still, Linhardt reads on...]
It would seem that they got out of there alright, though the place was teeming with rather...human-like monsters, apparently. It's then that Azura revealed herself as the songstress, and while talking to Corrin, she tells her that the only way to put an end to all of this is to stop Garon.
Well, I hate to say it, but Azura may actually be the most intelligent person in this entire army.
[he says that, and then immediately reads further]
--No, I take it back. I take it all back. Hubert, please tell me I'm reading this wrong, and that this woman did not show irrevocable proof that Garon is apparently some kind of...hideous monster to Corrin, rather than wait to show all of their siblings.
[HE WANTS TO THROW THIS BOOK ACROSS THE ROOM AGAIN, OH MY GOD]
[Hubert just buries his face in his hands at that. Just. Give him a moment, this is so overwhelmingly stupid he has to try not to laugh because ohhhhh my god who allowed any of this. Why is everyone so dumb.]
This is the stupidest thing I've ever had the misfortune of reading, Linhardt. It's almost as though someone wrote an absolutely horrid novel and tried to pass it off as history. I would genuinely believe that were it not for the people from Nohr we have here.
[Big mood, Hubert. Big ass mood. Linhardt's trying not to do the same thing, really, at the sheer level of stupidity involved in all of this nonsense and the collective lack of brainpower between all parties here. How do these people live.]
Believe me, Hubert, I feel much the same.
[Linhardt just. Pushes the book Hubert's way, shaking his head disdainfully.]
Please, just skip to the end. I don't believe I even want to know any further history about this country, but I simply must know how they meandered their way to the end. I only have but sick curiosity left for how this travesty actually managed to end in their favor.
[He accepts the book and skips ahead, landing perfectly on the invasion of the Hoshidan capital.]
It seems as though the plan was to use Princess Sakura as a hostage to get her siblings to stand down. That's not the worst idea, at least. However, Garon insisted that they didn't need any of the other Hoshidan royals alive, which is stupid and blatantly evil.
[More or less what we've come to expect by now, really.]
It looks as though Corrin didn't kill Princess Hinoka, but she pretended she had in front of Prince Ryoma since Garon was there. He challenged her to a duel and she defeated him. Garon insisted that she kill him, of course.
[OF. COURSE.]
So Prince Ryoma did the perfectly sane thing of taking his own life so Corrin wouldn't have to.
[Goddess, this is torture. He's pretty sure this is a method of torture someone could actually use effectively on somebody else to make them break, and it's hideous.]
I suppose that's about as expected. Garon really can't stop being a tyrant for even five seconds, can he...
[Linhardt's just waiting for the end of this stupid story to come, and he's not surprised that Garon insisted that Corrin kill Ryoma but...
...Oh. Linhardt looks at the book when Hubert mentions that, but his face just. Kind of pales, in all honesty, before he has to turn away. Sure, it's...well, a very dumb decision on Ryoma's part, and yet Linhardt can't bring himself to feel too flabberghasted about it.]
...He must have been trying to spare Corrin from having to do such a deed.
[Linhardt's...definitely a little more subdued than he has been all conversation, but--]
What an awful thing. I can scarcely imagine how she must have felt after that...or just how Garon reacted to such a thing.
I... suppose so, but at the same time I don't understand how he could trust her with the future of his country.
[This really isn't the sort of conversation he should be having with Linhardt; his views on what a ruler needs to do for their country don't often line up neatly with most peoples'. So Hubert flips the page and frowns.]
Apparently Garon was fine with it, because it meant he'd won. He sent everyone out of the room in order to speak with his god, Anankos.
[Off to a good start here...]
And then Hans and Iago found proof that Corrin allowed Princess Hinoka to live so they decided to fight. For some reason.
[.................yeah we're not gonna talk about it. Either way, Linhardt's face contorts with disgust at the bit about Garon, but at this point, it's a day ending in y for them.]
I suppose I can't be too surprised...
[--wait wait.]
...Really. They really decided that was the course of action they wanted to take?
[...]
Please tell me her siblings were in the room when this happened.
[linhardt doesn't like wishing death on people but like. these smug fuckers have been around long enough]
[Linhardt almost breathes a sigh of relief. That must mean that Garon's finally gonna die, right, and then the story will be over???]
Well, better late than never, I suppose. Though I certainly wish that everyone in this room could have at least some form of intelligence...they truly are among the dumbest people alive.
[Just. Inhales sharply. God Linhardt's looking forward to this history lesson being over so he can judge the fuck out of every Nohrian, forever.]
I take it that they finally managed to defeat Garon after, yes?
I assume so, there's no way that anything else could have happened—
[And then he turns the page. What the actual fuck is that slime monster picture, ohhhhhhh my god—]
So apparently Azura and Corrin were right about Garon being a monster masquerading as a person. And naturally, this upset Garon's children and they... refused to fight right away...
[...THINGS HE HADN'T CONSIDERED, UM. Give him a moment to flip through the remainder of the pages...]
It doesn't look like it. If they are, Corrin hasn't found out about it, I'd assume.
[Looks like Xander became King of Nohr and everyone lived happily ever after, but there's also some Weird Shit with Takumi coming up in the next chapter from the look of it...]
I'm really not sure why they were hesitating, but eventually it looks like they agreed to fight and they killed it.
I wouldn't exactly be surprised if she didn't think to ask. Corrin just seems to smile and nod at everything anyone tells her, so if they are, their secret is perfectly safe...
[Linhardt just. Kind of sighs. Oh my god that country is so fucked...]
I suppose that much is good, then. Now that he's dead, they should be able to live in peace...
[...]
The story isn't ending that easily, is it.
[...he saw a bit of the Takumi bullshit while Hubert was flipping through, god, when does the ride end.]
