Again--exactly what I meant Danytaly, thank you. My point wasn't "It's fantasy!" my point was "If it's a fantasy series where a girl can be a general at age 9, why can't she be an assassin at 6?/rise through the ranks in a year". Not to mention yes, all the other examples of kids doing things they shouldn't be able to do yet clearly have. It follows an internally consistent logic.

Whether or not mothy wrote it sloppily (I personally don't think it's any more sloppy than anything else he's written but that's me) is beside the point. The point was that the timeline makese sense and is clear and the only reason it feels like it doesn't involves assuming that mothy is following real world logic on how quickly Mariam could have become a general when he's already not following that particular part of it by making her one at 9 in the first place.

Not to mention, as Dany pointed out, Futapie probably had a helping hand in it.

As for the new topic.

We know that Leonhart betrayed his homeland and killed his brother because that's what it says in his album booklet (which granted you guys can't read but for some reason I'd assumed Misstress filled you in on that point). He fell in love with Anne, betrayed his country, killed his brother, then safely made it into Lucifenia where he sore allegiance to Arth and Anne. He also alludes to this in his revised death scene in Cloture. I am certain that it's intended to be him.
