It starts to get "saintlike", and while that is medieval, it's religious.

I have two eyes, and they see different things. One eye is the romantic one. The other eye is the practical one.

The power-block politics around Crown and power are already about as much as I can take.

Imagine if someone fought for a Crown, but could plausibly deny and disclaim any responsibility for what happens after? The block power politics could get too ugly too quick.

I see (or think I see) why you want what you want. If I had only one eye, I'd agree. :-)
