[Want to chat with Bolton privately? Here is where you do it! Bolton's office hours will be held in conference room B in the library for approximately four hours in the morning several days a week. During that time the blinds will be drawn and that room will be off-limits unless you're there to talk to Bolton, though the other three study rooms will still be available for use.

Report 3...? after the week 5 motive

[kingshaming]

What in hell's name was that?!

[very classy, your highness]

[theoverseers]

An incentive, Prince Xander. You've been here long enough to know what those are, right?

[kingshaming]

Don't play coy with me. I mean Jamie and Bolton receiving them as well. We have never been threatened by CECE directly.

[theoverseers]

What Mr. White and Mr. Fell received were simply a warning. As you stated in your reports, they have been getting rather complacent with their charges. If they are not capable of fulfilling their roles, then they need to be reminded of the duty that they're supposed to perform.

[He's practically vibrating with rage as he types. He can't say they are wrong- by Xander's own admission, Jamie and Bolton were horrible Overseers. Biased and sympathetic and utterly unable to do their job. If they were in Xander's regiment he would have made them leave a long time ago for such incompetence.

Which was why Xander could no longer see them as his enemies. He could no longer see this deal as separate from his oath to protect the others and get them out- there was no us and them anymore]

In regards to my reports- I can no longer participate in this utter sham. I doubt your promise will give me anything I could want at this point.

[He wanted Corrin. He wanted his sister back. But after everything he's remembered and he's experienced in the station... if she won't come back of her own will, he can no longer bring himself to force her. To dominate her happiness with his own.

And gods, she has a son. One with dark hair and wild eyes he's seen across battlefields before- he doesn't understand HOW but he knows what he's seen]

[theoverseers]

It's a shame that you have made up your mind. I could have helped your little princess come to a revelation that would have saved both Nohr and Hoshido. Even precious treasures who can become dragons can make the wrong choice... But I suppose she will have to learn, when the kingdom that she abandoned and the kingdom of her birthright both burn to the ground...

[kingshaming]

What do you mean? Stop with these damned riddles!

[theoverseers]

Just something for you to think about, Prince Xander. If I'm lying, what have you left to lose? But if I'm telling the truth, would it not be worth just a little more observation to guarantee the safety of not just your darling princess but also your whole kingdom?

I'll let you consider. But remember- you've been so helpful so far, how would your fellow Champions feel to know that their noble leader had been colluding behind their backs?

[kingshaming]

Damn you.

[He was spying again the Overseers, not the fellow Champions... but he WAS still hiding things. The others would not be alright with that.

And Lightning... gods, she wouldn't forgive him.

Plus... they were hinting that there was something Corrin did that had some horrible fallout outside just the war. He had to know]

I will keep my silence for now

[theoverseers]

I knew that you were a reasonable man, Prince Xander.
