It is…troubling. My…brother was ever focused upon the narrower picture. To save one in peril before him, either ignoring or unaware that it would mean another who was not saved. Who would lament being passed over while another was chosen, consciously or otherwise. To save subjects instead of the whole kingdom, refusing to make even a single knowing sacrifice while blinded to the fact that his actions sacrificed those he could not save regardless.

He was too kind, too compassionate, too willing to see only the best of others…I would not wish these circumstances on even an enemy. But I can not stop myself from thinking that he would have done better by all of you.

Just yet another thing he would have prevailed in over me.
