Ultimate plot twist AU that'll totally change the face of the game (Fe16)

What if Ionius 9 had no crest of Seiros ?

It's the biggest secret in the empire, and immediately issues arose about his succession, what if his children are crestless too, all their spiel about MAGA and "we descend from Seiros and willy" will fall apart, especially since, thanks to his numerous predecessors there is a saying that everyone from Ochs to Boramas can trace their lineage to the imperial house (tfw emperors sow a lot of seeds).

Vestra Sr (Hubert's dad, let's call him Igor) tells Ionius not to worry, there are occurrences in the long history of Fodlan of crests jumping a generation. Maybe his children could have some, and he doesn't need to name a thrice removed cousin his heir.

Sadly, Ionius's first kid (he got it with the leading diva of mittelfrank of that time, but they were both 14 so it wasn't "problematic"! ) had no crest at birth (and no peepee !), kid and her mom were given some money to get the fuck out of Fodlan and ended up in Dagda.

After 3 crestless bastards, Vestra Sr was kind of worried, so he tracked a noblewoman who had "ties" to the imperial family, Viscount's Fenya's daughter (her grandma was Ionius's grandpa's cousin !), hoping their match will produce a crested heir. Fenya's daughter thus became Ionius's wife and they had Hans, a crested son, but who only had a minor crest.

Pissed, Ionius blamed his wife and slept with her cousin (who was also Ludwig von Aegir's cousin !) but still had a minor crested child, and worse at that, child was a daughter. Vestra Sr was kind of pissed, why doesn't he want to sire other children on his wife ?

"Your Majesty, why are you even obsessed with major crests ?"

Ionius then reveals Ludwig received a baby card from Charon Sr, as both were alumni of Garreg Mach's 1155, where Charon Sr "bragged" about the birth of his major crested heir, Cassandra.

After a few trysts here and there (even Vestra Sr's own sister !!)- that only brought minor crested children (the one he got from a Leopold's second cousin ended up with a minor Cichol crest !) but had to be legitimated through the consort kin system since the mothers were nobles- Ionius fucked Anselma and, just before the insurrection, Ionius wanted to woo Erwin Gloucester's younger sister (legends say Emperor Lycaon sired a child on the Elite Gloucester's thirteenth daughter ?) but Erwin raised a brow when he learnt his sister would only be a consort ; Vestra Sr disagreed with this idea, under the consort kin system, they would have to give some rights on Adrestia (land at least) to a foreigner who was already a leading force of an opposing country !

"I see no countries Igor, but mere offshoots of my Empire."

After reconsidering a lot, Ionius said everything would work in the end of they removed the consort kin system, but then it ultimately led to the insurrection.

Raging at this loss of power (before the insurrection, when Aegir'n'co were more and more disagreeing with him) he decided to order Vestra Sr to bring back that beast in Garreg Mach, it is a sacrifice he's willing to make to return Adrestia to its former glory.

Igor of course tried to talk some sense in his liege ("You cannot sire a child on the Archbishop your Highness !") , but already raging, Ionius saw this as a rebellion and warned Vestra Sr that he's ready to do everything to Make Adrestia Great Again, so Igor has to think a lot about his son Herbert, is he going to see the new world where Adrestia leads Fodlan or not ?

Vestra Sr understood this as a threat, he didn't even bother correcting him ("his name is Hubert, your Majesty"), and ultimately joined Aegir.

Too bad for Ionius, during his captivity he hit on a maid (given how Supreme Leader turned out to be the heir he wanted thanks to Volkhard, he only seduced that maid bcs horny or wanting to remind her he is the emperor) and the resulting posthumous son had a major crest of Seiros, but Hubert weeded out the Hresvelg line to convince his good tea time friend Ferdie that yes, Supreme Leader is the only legitimate heir of the Empire.

Seteth still has nightmares about the draft he saw in Igor von Vestra's desk requiring the Archbishop's presence to gift Adrestia with a heir, but whenever Flayn or Rhea ask him about his nightmare, he dodges the question (he had that draft burnt and scattered in Enbarr's harbour).

#fodlan nonsense #Adrestia stuff #is it the ionius hour ?#Look at him he just wanted #To play the peepee size contest but with crests against a northern barbarian #11 kids only 5 had crests #11 legitimate ones #Tfw Lorenz could have had a Hresvelg cousin #Fe16 #Seteth is so relieved to learn igor von Vestra had enough brain not to send this letter #He always screened Rhea's mail just in case #How would they have reacted if that letter was sent ???

ok for the "Hubert's dad was snatched by TWSITD" theory (i first found this on a Reddit post by u/CyberActors15)

so basically the question is. why does Hubert's dad help with the Insurrection? House Vestra has been loyal to House Hresvelg for generations, and Hubert was raised to be loyal to Edelgard. i would presume the same applies for his father. if the former Marquis Vestra was so loyal to House Hresvelg, why would he participate in the Insurrection? that just seems... odd. had Hubert's dad taught his son to NOT follow House Vestra's tradition, that would've been a lot less suspicious, at least to me, ironically enough, because that would have reinforced an idea that Vestra Sr. genuinely had a problem with House Hresvelg.

it's been shown that characters who learn dark magic are connected to the Shitters (as i not so affectionately call TWSITD). without this theory, Hubert's connection to them seems almost... tangential compared to the other characters (Edelgard, Hapi, and Lys were all experimented on; meanwhile, Hubert only has connection to Edelgard, who has a connection to TWSITD). yes, it's possible Hubert only started learning dark magic after working with them, but considering how proficient he seems to be, i'm tempted to say he might have a bit more of a history with it than we know of.

the only thing that kind of throws a wrench in this is Hubert and Hanneman's support chain

You know as I was reading this I was trying to remember which support Hubert had that talked about his dad's potential motivations for joining the Insurrection and you're right it was Hanneman that's what I was thinking of

It's definitely an interesting theory with some fascinating potential! But I don't think I buy into it, myself, for a few reasons. First and foremost: we've never seen the Twisted place multiple agents in the same arena. Cornelia was the lone agent working in Faerghus; Solon, using the guise of Tomas, was the lone agent working under Rhea's nose in Garreg Mach prior to the course of events in the game; and although they placed Kronya in the monastery a bit early, having her 'rescued' with Flayn, she becomes the sole agent working there a month later after Solon departs following events at Remire (and notably, this is in the immediate lead-up to Edelgard's attack at the end of the year -- one month of overlap between agents is frankly shocking when things are moving this fast). If they already managed to take Hubert's father, why wouldn't he be the one to introduce Duke Aegir to the rest of the Twisted organization and hook him on the Crest of Flames experiment? Why did a second agent, taking the guise of Volkhard von Arundel, need to come in to make that play? Given how sparing they are with their personnel resources, it doesn't track for me: von Vestra would have been in a key position of trust at the Emperor's side, given the link between his family and the Hresvelgs, so if he had been a Twisted agent they arguably wouldn't have needed to replace Arundel.

I think, instead, they recognized that Volkhard was the better candidate to switch -- someone who Edelgard trusted, and who could therefore extract her from the Kingdom once the Insurrection ended. von Vestra, despite his position, didn't have that kind of access -- and while his son might, his loyalty was to Edelgard alone even at that age: they couldn't trust that he would actually bring her back to the Empire for use in the experiment, rather than just staying in the Kingdom with her once they'd been reunited.

Which actually does bring me back around to that support with Hanneman. Because it's not just that Support that makes me think von Vestra was never bodyswapped: it's also Hubert's Support chain with Edelgard. He mentions that when her uncle spirited her off to Faerghus, he was absolutely bereft:

The sensation of loss that overcame me on that day defies all description. It was as horrific as if I'd lost all my limbs. I left the city in a mad rush to rescue you. My father sent soldiers to capture me. I fought them off for three days, but they did finally manage it. Of course, I was only ten. I never would've reached Fhirdiad.

By his own admission, his father sent men out after him when he ran off to try and catch up with Edelgard and her uncle -- and he spent three days, at the age of ten, fighting them off in his attempt to reach her. If his dad had already been replaced at that point, he didn't need to put in that much effort to get Hubert back: Hubert's proven loyalty to Edelgard made him a liability, since he would almost certainly oppose their designs, and they couldn't bring him to their side without straight-up brainwashing him (which clearly had not happened); and if his dad hadn't been replaced yet but was later...again, why would they let Hubert go unchecked, knowing so intimately that he was very likely going to become a problem? Hubert's presence at Edelgard's side implies to me that the Twisted didn't know how big an issue he would be: they underestimated him to their own detriment because they weren't aware of how deep his loyalty ran, which essentially precludes the notion that they had an agent in his House, since otherwise they'd recognize him for the problem he was.

(For me personally, Hubert's dark magic proficiency never seemed suspect: we know that he's Edelgard's right-hand man, and he's at this point intimately familiar with the Twisted. Unlike the other names on that list, Hubert is still the only one who hadn't been subjected to experimentation; on top of that, it's very doubtful that his dad would have been swapped out before the Insurrection had begun to foment, since a position in Adrestia wasn't advantageous to them until that point, meaning that he still had less time than Lysithea to develop the skill while being arguably more proficient with it than Edelgard, who chose a physical class over a magical one. Your list also omits Jeritza, who also learns a Dark Magic spell despite him not being experimented on directly. Personally I think that Hubert is just a proficient mage and threw himself into Dark Magic study once Edelgard made him aware of the Twisted: he's strategically-minded enough that he probably believed 'know thine enemy' applied to their magic as much as everything else.)

All this to say that I actually do think there's a valid reason for Marquis von Vestra joining the Insurrection after a thousand years of loyalty to the Imperial Lineage -- and that's him realizing what it's done to his son. Hubert admits to Edelgard that his very first memory of their time together was when she was injured, and his father scolded him for his negligence:

From the age of six, he'd been groomed to be Edelgard's protector, told to put his very life on the line for her sake, which is likely expected of the von Vestras...once they reach adulthood. Hubert's father was trying to impart a lesson early regarding what his role as Edelgard's servant was -- but then the Insurrection began, Arundel vanished with Edelgard, and his son rushed out of the city after her, heedless of his own life and fighting his father's men for three days because of the lesson his father imparted on him. However much Hubert loathes his father in the present, the feeling was not necessarily mutual -- and having come so close to losing his eldest child, only ten years old, to a bond of servitude...people change. Sometimes it takes an upheaval for people to question the way things have always been. But I tend to think that in that moment, seeing his son dragged back to Enbarr, probably still trying to fight despite barely sleeping or eating for three days in his desperation to reach Edelgard and fulfill his duty...he realized that the duty he'd given his son was a yoke upon his neck, crushing the person he might otherwise have been. And in that moment, he wondered if there might be a better existence for his son, for his other children -- not bound as servants to the Imperial lineage, erasing their lives and their children's lives so that the Emperor and his issue could fulfill their own...but able to become their own people, defined by their own interests.

Hubert: My earliest memory of you is of when you were injured. I recall being scolded most sternly by my father. "You are Lady Edelgard's servant!" he said. "You must protect her with your life!"

Edelgard: I had no idea. But House Vestra has served House Hresvelg for generations... Given that, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.

Hubert: Indeed. After that, I made certain to accompany you wherever you went.

I tend to think that von Vestra betrayed his emperor for the chance giving his children a better life: one where they no longer had to define themselves solely by the Hresvelg they served. But in Hubert's case, it was too late -- he'd taken to heart the lesson that Edelgard's life outweighs his own four years prior at the tender age of six, and as such his father's betrayal of the Emperor's family became tantamount to a betrayal of his own.

#answered #anonymous #fire emblem: three houses #i have a lot of thoughts about hubert #this isn't even getting into my pet headcanon #that he was injured trying to fight off his father's men #and once he was home kept worrying at the wound #not realizing it because he was trying to come up with a new plan #to get out and find edelgard #and in the end it scarred horribly #hence why he wears his hair like that #the scar is on his face and edelgard recoiled on sight of it #(in her defense she was twelve at most it shocked her)#so he grew his hair out on that side so she wouldn't have to see it

Ludwig von Aegir got retconned in Nopes?

FE16's!Ludwig von Aegir spearheaded a coup against Ionius because he was centralising power on his figure, erased a fellow House who dared to speak out against him and tried to remove the few checks Adrestia had that prevented him from banging people without any consequences.

FE16's Papa Vestra, who allied with FE16Ludwig, is heavily implied to have betrayed Ionius, his Emperor, and the 1k years long oath between Vestra and Hresvelg because he wanted to protect Hubert.

Now,

If Nopes!Aegir was the one who sided with the mole people, why would Vestra Sr side with him, given how the Mole People needed guinea pigs to refine the technology they later used on Supreme Leader? Vestra Sr wanted to protect his son, it makes no sense that this man - even if he never appears and is conveniently off-screen'd in Nopes - who betrayed his family duty to protect his son would... side with someone offering children to delured people using them for dangerous Science Projects.

Ditto for the "all strong emperor" - if Ludwig turned against Ionius for centralising power on himself, it makes no sense that Ludwig suddenly wants to become Supreme Leader "I am the only power in Adrestia my word is absolute" lapdog, Ludwig might have had revanchist views about Faerghus and all, but serving an all powerful Emperor, when he overthrew an Emperor who wanted to become all-powerful? Really?

Dissent is not tolerated in Supreme Leader's Adrestia, but instead of Hryming the dissenting nobles, Supreme Leader imprisoned Aegir (where is my fair trial discourse?) and Vestra was Hubert'd.

I think an earlier anon mentioned how it could make sense if Ludwig thought Ionius was too much of a dried reason and weak person to embody the "strong emperor" he wanted to follow...

But it doesn't add, because 1/ we don't know when Ionius started to look like a raisin, and 2/ Ionius was strong enough to erase 1 house and send troops (and mole people) to Ordelia, which is like, outside of Adrestia's territory without any backlash. Not to pat the guy on the back, but that is a massive power move, breaching another nation's sovereignty to ruin their ruling House without having to face any consequence whatsoever.

Lysithea and Ferdie's non SS paralogue also paints the guy more as a Numida than a Lekain, that is being an ass and bleeding dry the lands he is supposed to look after, but not literally bleeding the people to make the lands red - that's more something Uncle does.

But apparently, when Supreme Puppet pops up, Aegir dgaf about the lands and Adrestia killing its own citizens, as long as he controls/serves/idk Supreme Puppet?

Nopes serves us the same old stew Supreme Leader painted about Adrestia and the Insurrection - when Houses blew massive holes in it.

But those holes are never touched upon in Nopes, Ludwig suddenly makes a 180° and no Ionius or Papa Vestra appear to even talk about this incident, which, to, instead, paint Ludwig as the corrupt man Supreme Leader always claimed he was, in Nopes she isn't proven wrong.

Supreme Bullshit would have much more interesting if we had to deal with internal Adrestian affairs, a rebellion or even people a sort of civil war, but everything is swept in 3 lines "information campaigns", "no dissenters allowed" and "Supreme Leader crushes those who oppose her".

Nopes didn't want to tell an interesting story, Nopes wanted to sell tea and pillows, no matter how nonsensical its plot is as a result.

#anon #replies #3 nopes #FE16 #Ludwig is closer to a Numida in the corrupt senator/person in charge than to a Lekain #but for Supreme Leader to look good without any questions he was retconned in a Lekain like who always wanted to be a Hetzel #some sort of insanity #let us be glad Ludwig was the one who was retconned and Nopes didn't want to make Supreme Leader right by making all of her enemies eat kid

Pats Hubert on the back very gently. Hubert don't beat yourself up on that memory. How were you supposed to save here at that age. You were a child Hubert so don't blame anybody but those who took her away. Gives him a big hug then quickly lets go of him because you know Hubert's a grumpy gus when it comes to receiving any types of affection and comfort.

...Hm. I saw the warnings. I was aware my father began acting differently, and I misattributed it to the passing of my mother. I had years to see the truth of the matter, and I didn't. Perhaps if I'd been fully ignorant, I might have pardoned myself. But I did see, and I chose not to pursue the truth. What resulted from that is my failing, and I'm merely taking accountability for that.

They might not have taken her had I acted. Had her father been warned, or my father revealed for the traitor he was, there is a chance that events may have been altered. That the Hresvelgs might have survived, even in part.

But you can be certain I blame those who stole her away all the same. They will be held accountable as well, and with more ruthlessness for their attempts to elude the consequences.

Still... your attentiveness to my personal space is appreciated.

Aww that’s so cute Hubert. So what’s your earliest childhood memory that you can remember Hubert?

Hm. I don’t remember much from my youth.

The earliest would be... I suppose visiting the Imperial library would be among the first. Sunlight revealed the drifting dust so common in libraries and at the time, there was a mystical sort of atmosphere to it. Serene, even. I practically lived there as a child, and the people who knew to seek me there typically had a pleasant enough reason to do so.

It might have been Hanneman with new notebooks, there to ask what I was learning recently. Or perhaps my mother to ask me for book recommendations. She was encouraging me to speak my thoughts more, of course. I know that in hindsight.

Vaguely, I recall my father appearing there on occasion as well. We sat in steady silence and if I couldn’t reach a book, he would get it for me. The gestures were small but significant to a child.

Hey Hubert. What would you say is the most physical pain you’ve ever been in? Mental pain?

I can’t fathom what would drive any logical person to ask this of someone else, so I will keep it simple for you. There is no pain I have experienced, physical or otherwise, that has been sufficient to stop me in my pursuits. I wouldn’t recommend anyone make the attempt to test my limits where that is concerned.

[Well, Hubert took that as a threat, so here we are! I’ll take over for our favorite shadow. In canon, I’d say the most physical pain he’s been in would probably be during his investigations of TWSD, because he usually ends up in their midst doing grim tasks like in his paralogue. They try to intimidate him with these assignments he’s sent on, so they probably got increasingly nightmarish as he went because of course he’s undaunted by it all. It’s not a fun time.

As for mental pain, that’s a close one in canon... But I’d have to say it was discovering his father’s betrayal of House Hresvelg. It’s fairly clear from how intensely he hates the late Vestra Sr. that he used to admire his father as all the Vestra legacy stood for. That all came crashing down on the day of the Insurrection, and Hubert was just 10. So many horrific things followed his father’s betrayal, which would’ve just compounded his pain from it all. That’s an emotional wound that won’t ever quite heal well.]

Hubert just curious, what caused you to have a ur dislike of heights? I hope that it wasn't something your father did.

...No, it wasn’t. In fact, it infuriated him to no end. That was one fear he could not cure me of, no matter how effective or barbaric his methods.

His misdeeds are numerous and far-reaching, but that isn’t among them. The cause was merely an accident as a child.

Hi Hubert are you unable to grow a moustache or a beard ? I'm sure it'll add more points for the *menacing* appearance that you so seek right ? Or 👀 Have you kept it trim because if you had one you'd actuallly look exactly like the Late marquis von Vestra ?

I’m able to, yes. Is it truly so hard to believe that I want to be clean shaven for no other reason than personal preference? There's no need for any greater meaning beyond that.

Rest assured, I can strike fear well enough without the addition of a detail so mundane as facial hair.

The appearance of my father and any theoretical resemblance of him are utterly irrelevant to my decision.

🌙 I saw you looking at the Enbarr sky patrol the other day. Is something up? You had a sweet little glimmer in your eyes.

I did not. That look was just... admiration.

I said I want to be a protector, and there are many ways I can manage that. As a Dark Flier, for example. My instructors say men can’t be Dark Fliers, but I don’t believe them. They aren’t trying hard enough if they say it can’t be done. Father says ‘can’t’ is for the willfully mediocre.

I can do it. No matter what it takes, I will fly someday.

🌙 Hubie 🥺 what would you like to be when you grow up ?

I want to be a protector, like my father. Did you know House Vestra has stood for loyalty and devotion for 1,000 years? As Lady Edelgard’s servant, I must protect her with my life. He said I will be part of that legacy someday if I do.

That’s what I want most. It means everything.

Hubert do you have any allergies?

None at all. The Vestra lineage has cautiously avoided introducing any hereditary vulnerabilities that might be exploited by threats to the Imperial throne.

Therefore, anything that can be successfully exploited represents a considerable character flaw isolated to the individual, as with my predecessor.

🌙 How's dad? He must be a very strict father. What about mother? House Vestra seems to be a very intense family to live in.

He’s busy. The Imperial household needs him. As it has for generations, our household comes second. If my father is strict, it is because he knows I can meet his standards. And I do.

My mother is well. She misses my father, I think. But we have one another. She is still searching for my hidden letter, so our hunt is at a standstill for the moment. But we are memorizing a poem together now that we ought to have committed to memory in a fortnight.

When she is not preoccupied and I've finished my lessons, she teaches me to cook and brew coffee. Mother says the secret ingredient to any household, Imperial or not, is a proper cup of coffee.

Hubert do you ever feel guilt for her majesty? Word of mouth from the nobles, before they were sent to house arrest, was that the former Marquis Vestra did not orginally want to participate in the insurrection?

Do you ever think that... maybe they suffered... because someone wanted to keep you safe? Does that not flood your mind from time to time?

I am well aware of where the blame lies for the horrors Her Majesty suffered. Your tactless input is as unnecessary as it is noted.

My perspective on that incident begins and ends with abject disgust. Do you truly believe anything those avaricious, superficial fools claim? They would say anything to destabilize Her Majesty’s leadership and reclaim power for themselves.

My disdain for the late Lord Vestra was thinly concealed out of barely upheld tact. If it were truly the case that he did not wish to participate in that event, would they not have informed me when I arrived at Garreg Mach, where messages were nearly impossible for him to intercept? Would they not have said so through any other means than having you approach me on their behalf?

But I will humor this delusion just as I did with Hanneman. If you and he are correct and he committed that unforgivable atrocity to keep me safe, that changes nothing.

He vowed to protect the Hresvelg line in a continuation of a legacy founded in the dawn of the Adrestian Empire. My father is an insult and a disgrace to the loyalty and devotion House Vestra showed in generations of service to House Hresvelg as the emperor's right hand. Along with other Adrestian ministers, he conspired against Emperor Ionius IV to usurp power from the throne. Personally spearheaded the emperor's capture.

The Imperial family needed his protection, not me, and he was all too eager to discard the lives of her siblings as if they meant nothing. To such a filthy wretch, I’m certain they did.

Yet I clearly recall that traitor sternly reprimanding me on my role of servitude for Her Majesty. That contemptible hypocrite dared to lecture me on protecting her with my life, and then I am to believe he sought to deny me that very duty from the kindness of his blackened heart? Out of fatherly instinct? Nothing could be further from the truth. My purpose is to suffer in her stead, and I would do it gladly—not from mere obligation, but true and enduring dedication to Lady Edelgard.

Even if I were to reflect on nonsensical rumors about his supposed motives, it wouldn’t matter. His actions and my judgement of them remain as they are. My father was a traitor to House Hresvelg. He deserved what he got.

That was me keeping someone I care about safe.
