"I hope so. I would prefer that we withdraw from Leicester and let them reconstitute their government. They are not as intertwined with the Church as Faerghus and even if we had the resources to rule them effectively it's a cruel thing to ask of their citizens." Linhardt was not comfortable with his nation's war of aggression. He was doing what he can, but his influence was limited.
"That is commendable." Linhardt still thought it sounds like too much work, but he felt that way about Edelgard's ambitions as well. He wasn't ever going to be a person who wants to impose his will on the world even when it frustrated him. Instead, Linhardt went around systems he did not like rather than complying with them, "Though I do not see why we are using euphemisms. You are killing your political enemies."
Just like Adrestia was, "However, I do not understand the situation. People with inborn magical gifts such as myself are elevated in my culture. Some houses even require it for a child to be an heir." So it would seem to be the inverse of Kelson's culture, "I do understand the need and wish for change. I merely wish it were possible peaceably."
Linhardt couldn't help himself, he laughed. It was a restrained sound, but a laugh nonetheless. Kelson had such an interesting interpretation of Linhardt's problem, "Not to? You aren't going to lecture me for not doing enough?" That was what everyone did. Or they mocked him for being lazy, "It isn't that I don't sleep enough. I do. I'm just always tired. I fall asleep on the battlefield; if I hadn't trained myself to wake up I would not have survived long. I will gladly accept your aid as long as it is not too burdensome for you. And you mustn't overuse your energy on my account."
