Nader.
Claude had expressed concerns that Nader might know about them before he had walked in on them that morning, mid-embrace, and judging by the bitterness Byleth spied in the general’s eyes, he had, indeed, known; Nader’s cold stare also revealed how much he wished he had been wrong.
Byleth feels uneasy for several reasons. Her ongoing sickness and reluctance to find the cause of her malady are one, Nader finding out the truth about her and Claude’s adulterous relationship, causing a strain in their dynamic, is another.
While unwilling to confront the former, Byleth quickly decides she must address the latter and she’ll do it in the only way she knows how – by inviting Nader to tea.
