Something that's always bugged me a little about Final Fantasy VI is that in game we're never told what it was that Celes did to be slated for execution. It would have had to be something serious, given that she's successfully invaded both Maranda and now South Figaro for the Empire, yet there's not even a hint of what it was. You'd think someone would at least mention it, right?

What's more, we already know that the Emperor doesn't just waste his superweapons. That's what Slave Crowns are for.

Maybe she objected to the Emperor's plans, but that seems unlikely given that she's infamous for torching Maranda to conquer it. She did that with nary a complaint, but objects when she's handed South Figaro on a silver platter thanks to the traitor? I don't buy it.

However, there is another possibility. Locke, master spy, has been in South Figaro for a significant amount of time when we start his scenario and he decides it's time to leave. He could have easily forged a letter ordering her death as the final thing he'd do in town before bugging out.

This would explain why Celes is confused enough to go along with Locke's bullshit even as she repeatedly insists that she's an Imperial general - she genuinely has no idea what the hell happened.

That does raise the obvious question of why he saved her after arranging her demise, but that can be explained away by his Tragic Backstory kicking in after he sees her chained up and realizes, "poo poo. The General is an eighteen year old woman. The same age as Rachel. Goddamnit."

Likewise, this explains why he buys Kefka's bullshit about Celes being a double agent in the Magitek Factory despite a complete lack of evidence and Kefka being as reliable as a three dollar coin: he knows she never betrayed the Empire in the first place. Ditto for why Kefka and the Emperor give her the opportunity to prove her loyalty by killing the Returners on the Floating Continent: they would have had the opportunity to discover the forged order by now, so they know her initial betrayal was caused by enemy action.

There's plenty of time to watch Dune (2021) 89 times until the documentary is released. If you're hoping for 90, start now!
