Huh. That must have been an interesting conversation.
"Then we were invading Faerghus in your Fodlan." If you take, or accept responsibility, for territory, you have to hold it. That's why they had to go deal with Almyra after taking Leicester, "If that weren't the case, I'd expect you to hold it simply because Leicester itself is divided and if you didn't, there's no guarantee that a pro-Adrestian noble wouldn't end up in charge given that their power structure changes more easily than Faerghus's or Adrestia's."
Linhardt stands his ground, crossing his arms over his pale chest, unimpressed, though his eyes narrow slightly. 'Pampered, spoiled brat' is something he would expect (and even possibly lend some credence to) from someone like Leonie, but from Felix? He just snorts.
"And what choices do you imagine I had? 'I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but I fundamentally oppose violent action so I'm recommending our territory declare neutrality and withhold our resources?' I considered it. It would have started a civil war. Or maybe I could have run to Dimitri. He seemed like a such a trusting, stable sort: I'm sure my showing up out of the blue with soldiers and information would have been accepted immediately."
If Felix doesn't want Linhardt to be sarcastic, he should consider being less stupid.
