2. Wasn't Emeric given full control of the city by Perien as Regent of the city. If so shouldn't the order be under his authority. also I thought the Knights of the Crowned Phoenix were like the Kingsguard. And members of the kingsguard could be appointed by the monarch and by the regent. And that any man appointed would be knighted and at that point the regent/monarch can choose whom they want to lead the order. Like how Joffrey/Cersei chose Ser Jaime and Robert Baratheon chose ser barristan.

3. Also the magister would simply be writing the orders on behalf of the regent so as to conserve time, if you want I can change it to master of laws and Emeric doesnt know about any proof Birard has connecting him and anyway Tiberius just wants to get rid of anything related to the old regime to smooth the way for Emeric to be crowned King.) (1. Suspected of being corrupt. They have no proof so they can't be absolutly sure, only if they could read minds.

2. Perien wrote an edict, giving him command of the city. So he may be its de facto ruler but that doesn't make him its monarch. From the day the monarch is coronated to the day he died, the Order is sworn to them. Unless Abelle died Emeric will not have command of them, and still only when he is crowned King of Shornhelm. Aye, a monarch can appoint whomever they want, but Emeric is no monarch. Robert and Joffrey were both Kings, they could do as they like. Like I said previously, the monarch could knight anyone and inducted them into the Order.

3. Birard was part of the conspiracy, of course he has dirt on them. He isn't stupid, he would have kept letters or anything else he could use. Birard is no loyalist, he did help kill his High King. Not necessary to get rid of him. And yes, it would make much more sense to have the Master of Laws do it, the Magister has no place doing that job.) (Emeric was told he was on the payroll by perien. And hes regent of shornhelm so surely he can name whomever he wants to the kingsguard/phoenixguard like cersei did i think with osmund kettleblack?)
