"It takes more than a single wish to preserve the people's happiness... and I will fight for her, of course. But..." He looks to the other texts again, pushing away the history scroll.
"To engage in this war risks her life, and the fate of this kingdom. The devastation of two grail warriors in open conflict is immense. Even if you are confident in victory, isn't it possible that the price that this war will inevitably exact will be too high to be worth even the promise of happiness for her country?"
He has a grim look about him. He wonders if it is strange for Heroic Spirits to question the purpose of this war. Perhaps it is, he concludes, but his role as an Astartes was to be the weapon that questions its purpose. In the Grail War, nothing will have changed, not really. He must ask the right questions or he risks a repeat of the old mistakes, and he refuses to see that kind of devastation once more.
