@DarkShadow i didn't read the novel so i might be wrong but imo that's not Lortelle's intention tho she really want to take Ed for herself she won't go that far. Not against those nukes. In this case she's trying to save Ed from Selaha. If she didn't Ed will be executed so she's playing the bad guy again bc that's what she's good at. About the Saintess and the others I'm pretty sure Lortelle will inform them about Ed she'd be fücked if she didn't no? Phoenia knew Lortelle sided with Selaha so she'll be one of the prime suspect of Ed's sudden disappearance.
I don't care about your taste!
