[ There's a lot to unpack in that first block of handwriting that appears - but most of all that Sylvain thinks the Kingdom disagrees about it falling. Does that mean things are different from what he knows? Were things not as they seemed with Cornelia in charge? Did the surveillance reports he'd received now and then not tell the full story of what happened in Faerghus?
Interesting. ]
You mean like the lords being led by someone at least a couple of decades younger than basically all of them? Don't worry, they loved it.
[ The sarcasm is real. They'd cooperated enough in the end and that's what Claude tries to remind himself of whenever thinking about the lords. Well, minus Holst. They've always gotten along and that helped.
But that still leaves Sylvain's next comment, and that is something Claude wants to avoid. The thought of there being three sides all along instead of just the Alliance, the Empire, and the sudden appearance and equally abrupt end of the Kingdom's continent at Gronder: it's enough to give him a headache if he thinks about it for too long. There's just no end to the what ifs. ]
I wouldn't have necessarily said no to an alliance. [ That handwriiting is sent slowly, less to draw out an answer than to choose each word very, very carefully. ] It would've all depended on how it was asked and what it would've meant, I suppose.
