Pragmatic and practical reasons? I don't understand how I can be more practical, ambassador. I do not believe we need or can trust the Council, I do not believe we need or can trust you, and I do not believe the Nomads pose a significant threat to Gallia. If you believe otherwise, you underestimate the might of the Crown... a foolish error.
Again, I await the orders of Grand Marshall LaCroix. If you are straining to remain cordial to me, mon amis, just because I am the one being realistic... well, I will let you see for yourself.
