Discrepancy in lore (spoilers)

[Bhearil]

I knew that everything worked out in the end, but that scene reeked of plot induced stupidity and badass decay. The fact that Lolorito outplayed Teledji was only known a while after.

He let Teledji plans go along because removing the Sultana aligned with their interests since she intended to destroy the Monetarist power structure, but the "bad guy" was Teledji, while Lolorito was standing aside in theory

Lolorito was playing a "heads i win tails you lose" kind of game. If Teledji succeeded he had ways to get rid of him later, if he failed, he had already covered himself and made like it was a plan conducted by Tejedji alone without any other Monetarist involvement, but that was something that remained hidden until the very end and the Wol surrendering twist was based on that he/she would be saved somewhat for "reasons" (aka the MC cant die so we gotta pull him/her out of danger).

The Scions might have been kept alive due to their personal talents (Thancred for example would be VERY interesting to recruit being the Scions Ace besides the Wol) but the Wol had started to have too much sway on Eorzea due to being the Hero who defended Eorzea from both inside and outside threats, plus it was clearly aligned with the Sultana so he/she would need to go and safest way was "eliminate the problem". Notice the fact that despite Teledji was already dead, Lolorito had still the Scions and the Wol as wanted people until the Sultana was back and they were exonerated by then, only because the situation changed to his favor that Lolorito "spared" them and the Sultana
