You might bear the responsibility of their actions, but I know you bear no personal responsibility, if that makes sense. They aren't imitating you.
... There is something to be said about taking more explicit actions to condemn it though. And you've been at war for nearly a decade and a half, your majesty. I can't imagine how tired it's made you.
[More explicit actions? That comment certainly catches his intrigue but Regis hesitates to discuss such now. After all, his worries lie with the many senators who conspire against him.]
Despite the fatigue, I must persevere until the war is won. I shan’t have Noctis inherit my failures as well.
[It’s bad enough that Noctis already has such a burden to carry.]
Even so, I've been far too lenient with the rabble-rousers that aspire to cause turmoil amongst us. This shall be rectified tenfold.
I'd be remiss if I didn't remind you you're allowed to take breaks. This war won't be won in a day. And if the worst thing that ever happened is you were asleep when the war was won, that's a story for the Prince's grandkids, right?
I don't know about tenfold, sir. But I'll keep an eye out for troublemakers regardless.
I don't think you'll be able to sway him much, with all due respect. It's kind of our thing at this point. Between Lord Amicitia and the Commander, I don't know who's more stubborn.
Believe me when I say that Lord Amicitia is far more stubborn than that of Drautos. I've known that man my entire life and he's as obstinate as an chocobo bull.

Truth be told, I've grown weary of the conflict.

nyx why are you so serious

It’s all Reggie’s fault
[As absurd as such a scenario sounds, Regis wishes it could be true. Alas, there will be no peace for Lucis or him.]
I’m forever in your debt, Nyx. Which reminds me, perhaps I can sway Commander Drautos to ease your punishment.
as if nyx would ever blame him
Nyx is too kind to his king
However, you didn't hear that from me.
not kind enough he'd say!
I do appreciate the concern. But I'll be fine. And I'll try to keep the bar fights to a minimum.
