It\'s explicitly stated a few times that Gangrel was looking for an excuse to invade Ylisse anyway. Even if the Shepherds hadn\'t forgotten about Maribelle, he would have found another excuse to start a war eventually; plus, the paragraph made it sound as if Chrom and his friends were TOTALLY to blame for basically everything that went to shit in the first half of the game..

** Prior to the beginning of the third level, Chapter 2: "Sheperds", the player character gets introduced to Chrom's millitia, The Shepherds. During that scene, Vaike goes "Can he/she do this?" and lets out a burp, which The Avatar character doesn't mind (and is rather amused)... but Maribelle, the local Troubadour (healer mounted on a horse), is so repulsed by Vaike and the Avatar that she leaves the Shepards' Garrison room in a huff before even Chrom returns to deliver the news of the voluntary expedition to Regna Ferox to set up an alliance with them to counter the problems with Plegia and the zombie creatures called Risen.\\
'''You'd Expect''': That after Chrom delivered the news about the expedition to everybody in the room, Vaike, Lissa, Chrom himself, or one of the other Shepherds would go look for for Maribelle, who left the room earlier in a huff, and tell her about the mission to Regena Ferox and invite her to join them. It's always good to have a backup healer in case there's the off-chance the main healer (Lissa) falls in battle on the way there. If they had a back up healer, they wouldn't be expending vulneraries.\\

'''The Result''': Maribelle is left behind in Ylisse, and when Plegian troops attacked Themis, another area in Ylisse, she gets kidnapped by the Plegians ''and'' falsely accused to being a spy, which gives Gangrel, the king of Plegia a ''very'' convenient excuse to start pointing his fingers at the Ylisseans -- and the Ylissean-Plegian War begin, which in turn, leads to the death [[labelnote: spoilers]] unless you play one of the Spot-Pass exclusive missions unlocked after clearing Chapter 25 [[/labelnote]] of Emmeryn, the exault of Ylisse.

'''Even Worse''' in the Oosawa manga adaptation when the Agustrian knight Zyne tells him in no uncertain terms that Chagall will execute him and that Chagall is being brutal to the people, who would definitely ''prefer'' Eldigan to be their king. Eldigan refuses and ''continues'' to refuse after Sigurd tells him to honor Zyne's dying wish. Admittedly, he is [[FreudianExcuse ashamed of his incestuous feelings for his sister]] in the manga, but even running away to live as a hermit would be smarter than being loyal to Chagall.

'''You'd Expect''': Vaike, Chrom, Lissa, or one of the other Shepards to tell Maribelle, who left the room earlier, about the mission to Regena Ferox, and ask her to come, because, hello, what if Lissa (who is a healer) falls in battle on the way to Regena Ferox? There wouldn't be anyone else to heal hurt members without expending vulneraries.\\
'''Instead''': They ''completely'' forget Maribelle. And she never even hears the expedition to catch up with the rest of the Shepards (unlike Stahl and Miriel, who were among the last to hear this expedition).\\
'''The Result''': Maribelle is left behind in Ylisse, and is kidnapped by the Plegians, and the Ylissian-Plegian War begins. [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Nice job forgetting Maribelle, Vaike and Chrom]]!

Admittedly, he is [[FreudianExcuse ashamed of his incestuous feelings for his sister]] in the manga, but even running away to live as a hermit would be smarter than being loyal to Chagall.
