This has got to be the worst writing that I've ever read in recent memory. All you had to do is testify that some fucking traitorous bastard is planning a rebellion and all of this would be over, and you wanna do this in the most roundabout way. So fucking stupid, god damn does reading this is such a huge waste of time
I really can't feel bad for the MCs in that fucking story, they literally had all the cards in hand and could have won at any time but just refused to do anything ever. They almost worked harder than the villain to get to that point
