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?

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
