I wonder how does Edelgard manage to hide her 2nd Crest because lore-wise I theorize it had something to do with her dealings with the Slithers, while gameplay-wise the Crest of Flames activates by random instead of through Combat Arts like the Crest of Seiros...

If we account what happens in the gameplay to be integrated into the story then my god Edie for all your intelligence, you really suck at your covers... (which really doesn't surprise anyone but that's okay because let's be real, some of us would suck at balancing kinda-vigilante work to overthrow the continent into chaos while finishing your midterms /j)
