Title: Battle of the Eagle and Lion

A/N: As far as I'm concerned, Claude won, but Hubert has carefully altered the records to keep the mystery up.

Summary: The (redacted) events of the Battle of the Eagle and Lion

I'd say it is an honour to write about the Battle of the Eagle and the Lion, but that was before so many of my drafts got mysteriously burned or destroyed because if I happen to make any unflattering comments about Edelgard, I have to start over. Though I would argue they aren't disparaging, but who am I to argue with her guard dog, Hubert?

So what can I say about the Battle? Well, I guess the obvious—all three of our houses showed what they did best: Edelgard with her strategies, Dimitri with his training, and me with my 'schemes'. I call them strategies, others call them traps, to-may-to, to-mah-to. Honestly, I didn't do anything sinister this time around. If a lot of students just happened to get a case of mild food poisoning, well, things happen. Raphael got it too and you don't hear me complaining about sabotage.

Let's see, something flattering—ah, I know! It's actually quite impressive how much Edelgard was able to move despite her illness. Honestly, if someone had poisoned, they'd better know to up the dosage next time. Despite her thinning ranks, she managed to set up her classmates quite skillfully, and Hubert somehow managed to do a lot of damage despite looking like he needed to find the closest toilet.

Of course, Dimitri powered his way through the food poisoning. I think he's got the strength of a dozen soldiers, or boars as Felix likes to put it. Felix also managed to move, but I think that was purely out of spite. It's amazing what a motivation spite is. Then again, I think Hubert would know all about that, wouldn't he?

My house, of course, were the cleverest of the bunch, carefully goading out our enemies and defeating them one by one. Despite losing our strongest member, we rallied around each other and fought back. It was a close fight by all reckoning. And honestly if Edelgard lost (notice I said if, Hubert!), it wouldn't be all that shameful, considering the handicaps she had.

Now, you might be wondering who actually won? Why it's (scorched words) of course! Was there ever any doubt?
