[Hubert genuinely can't help but scoff at one point in particular. That his enemies are not as unsympathetic as he thinks. That is simply untrue and he knows it. Has already experienced it.

He has no need of their sympathies anyway.]

There is no war to wage if she is not here. And even then... We're not warmongers. We did not start a war for the fun of it. We did it because it was our only choice. The only thing that could be done. To free the world from the clutches of the church so that everyone could walk a better path.

If she arrived here this very moment and wanted to start a war here I would advice that perhaps it would not be the best course of action. I would advise strategy. Espionage and tactics that were not combat related. We, after all, have not the means to siege.

In the end I am hers to command and I would do what was asked of me at the end of all things. That being said... I know her well enough to know that she would not come here with war in mind.

Despite the circumstances and concerns that we have already discussed I would throw myself to the wolves to see that she lived her life in all the peace and comfort she deserves without having to sully herself in return, unless that be her wish.

If this is to be our end... I wish only for her comfort and happiness and I would give my all to see that for her.
