It looks like they're having an argument. Butting in now would just make things worse.

What are you playing at, boar? This washed up bandit doesn't deserve to look at our army, let alone be a commander in it.

It's a decision I made in collaboration with the margrave. Two years ago, after I ascended the throne.
linkDimitrivolume_up
I ordered Gustave to capture him, made him swear his allegiance to the royal family, and gave him a unit of soldiers to command.
linkFelixvolume_up
Spare me the details of how you did it. What I want to know is why.
linkDimitrivolume_up
My army was lacking leaders. We needed capable fighters to fill in the gaps.
linkDimitrivolume_up
As for Miklan here, the margrave himself has instructed him in all manner of military tactics. I've seen his prowess with my own two eyes.
linkDimitrivolume_up
In the centuries since the time of King Loog, Crests and Relics have kept Faerghus safe.
linkDimitrivolume_up
We've come to depend on that power to protect us from outside attacks—and grown all too complacent in its wake.
linkDimitrivolume_up
Naturally, we will take full advantage of our Heroes' Relics in the battles ahead with Adrestia.
linkDimitrivolume_up
But we cannot protect our home with Relics alone. If all who could wield them fell, so too would we.
linkDimitrivolume_up
The blood of the Heroes is thinner now than ever before. We need men like him among our ranks.
linkFelixvolume_up
I don't doubt the truth of your words. But that's not the issue here!
linkFelixvolume_up
Do you really think it appropriate to trust a man barely removed from his life as a brigand with the responsibility of command?
linkIngridvolume_up
Everyone's heard the stories of the elder Gautier brother. How he resorted to banditry and plunder.
linkIngridvolume_up
Do you not think our soldiers would object to being led by a man with such history?
linkMiklanvolume_up
Heh. Command, huh? It's got a nice ring to it, but you should know, I'm just a prisoner.
linkMiklanvolume_up
My attendants, my aides, my best men... All stooges for the royal family, breathing down my neck every waking moment. All the sleeping moments, too.
linkIngridvolume_up
I understand your reasoning, Your Majesty. Yet he's hurt so many people.
linkDimitrivolume_up
What's done is done. Stolen goods may be returned, but stolen lives cannot.
linkDimitrivolume_up
If the man is unwilling to atone for his wrongdoings, then he will pay for it with his head. If he does wish to repent, however...
linkDimitrivolume_up
Then what better way to do so than by risking his life on behalf of our people?
linkDimitrivolume_up
If any among us still can't forgive him, by all means take up your arms and enact vengeance.
linkFelixvolume_up
I get what you're trying to do, but you still should have talked to us first.
linkFelixvolume_up
This isn't about who shoulders what blame. It's a matter of letting us know what you're thinking.
linkDimitrivolume_up
You're right, Felix. My apologies.
