I do not regret my actions. [It's stated without much of a second thought. He had made them and he had to accept them for what it is.]
If that is what they wish to do then there is very little I can do to stop that here. I may have brought shame to the king and my mother. [He didn't refer to the king as his father however-] If I were to let my people be massacred so far from home, it would be a shame to my father in particular. It would be a shame to my title given.
I am happy to accept the ridicule because I know that the families that are reunited will be thankful that they may not have to mourn the loss of many. The plight of my people are not something that I can easily turn a blind eye to for the sake of victory. [He should have been more forward about his concerns about it, but the king was not fond of him. A child born from his wife, but not his child. It must have been an insult and their relationship had only ever been strictly political.]
Considering this. It would be an acceptable death.
