[Perhaps she should not be so cold to someone so soft and helpless, but Edelgard wishes not to lie. The time for deceit is over. She had revealed her hand years ago in the Holy Tomb. Why should she comfort the girl now with saccharine words that may become lies later should Edelgard find herself in a bind?
Ultimately she views it as a bitter kindness to them both. Rather than foster a sense of camaraderie built on words she has to turn her back on she'll be brutal and honest. Save them both the torment of having to part again should things turn sour. Should Edelgard need to do what she musts to see her goals achieved.]
I suppose now I should take my leave.
[And not force to Flayn to suffer the discomfort of her presence.]
