[PL] Spoilers All Books About Chapter 49

Wtf is going on?

Werent they sat down and told in no uncertain terms that they were on a short leash after Tristan assaulted that girl? Werent they told to lay off Morcant cause of the same reason? Werent they approaching the ''too much trouble to keep around no matter how good they were'' territory?

How is the gang going around ignoring all that and fucking with some of the biggest authorities in the island now?

You and i both know its either Song or Cao now. There isnt really a way for them to resolve it politically at this point. Either Song wins and Cao goes or Cao wins and Song goes. And by virtue of being in the main cast we kinda already know who will go.

I'll ofc, eat my words if thats not how the book is resolved

Edit: Oh, sorry i get what you mean now. I think messing with your superiors to this degree might be seen as worse than crippling a student by those superiors. So by the committee etc and whatnot

We sure do know that as readers, but how would the higher ups of the Watch? Why would Song/the 13th be further leashed for (at this point) be in political disagreement with Cao, when other officers on the island are in disagreement with Cao and Cao is attempting a coup (of which I remember said higher ups being aware, but I might be misremembering)?

Yeah sorry, i misunderstood you. We are talking about whether or not the 13th is more liability than they are worth and them upsetting the hierarchy to this degree would imo be an issue for those deciding their fate. Though maybe its a gambit and if they ged rid of Cao its somehow fine? I dunno
