"That's true, it's hard to fight a war if your enemy all kills each other." He doesn't mind that Felix is unconcerned about war in Adrestia. Linhardt couldn't care less what happens to the people trying to eke out a living in Fraldarius territory.
Linhardt's hand snakes out of its own volition and slaps Felix clear across the face. He's as shocked as anyone, judging by how he blinks and looks at his hand (and shakes it, he's not used to hitting people and it hurts). But he doesn't regret it. When he speaks, his voice is calm but furious.
"My cousin is one of the people they murdered and replaced. That thing-"
Because he's not calling Kronya a woman. She doesn't deserve the designation, "Wore her skin and voice to commit murder after killing her and leaving her to rot. How dare you suggest I approve of that, or what transpired at Remire? Had you ever been to Remire? Because I had."
"They're not my allies. If Edelgard supported them, I would have made sure she died myself." As her healer, Linhardt is one of a very small group of people with access to the Emperor's person with minimal oversight.
"They got their hands into the powers behind Fodlan before any of us were even born. The reason our Fodlans are all so similar are that they set up matters so there were limited options as to how it could play out."
"And let's not pretend your allies are clean. The things Seiros has done are disgusting, or is crippling a continent's progress fine because it doesn't upset Sylvain?"
It's an angry guess. Cornelia had been last and clearly Felix detests her the most. So if Miklan was last, he's the one Felix is actually upset about.
