LOOKED AT THE RESULT AND WENT 'YOP' - Tumblr Posts

Okay but theory on why Augustine might additionally hate Cristabel so much:

He's the first saint to serve the king undying, and this is based on ascension order.

Cristabel convinced Alfred of the "let's kill ourselves and force lychtorhood solution" and all that, but apparently Alfred ascended first. While it's possible Mercy hesitated longer, or the order of the first two is more random, he specifies he was the first several times and seems to hold a cold anger behind the fact.

I wonder if Cristabel convinced Alfred of the plan, but then proceeded to wait and see if it would actually work or waited around to explain what they were doing while Alfred died. Since like, it seems unlikely in the chaos someone would be having a stop watch to see who finished first or if it was the same time either of them would specify "I'm the first" "I'm the second" so many times. So a lot of Augustine's additional anger toward Cristabel is about the fact she not only got his brother in on the plan, but also she potentially waited long enough to do it too that there's a noticeable first and second saint

THIS BLEW MY MIND WIDE OPEN.
