FE4: King Blume's Idee Fixe

I think there's a reason I haven't played in several days.

Finished Chapter 7 last week, currently on the opening phase of Chapter 8.
 

 

Blume is obsessed with trashing Lenster no matter what it costs him. He's on his third attempt to (re)take it, and apparently didn't learn his lesson after the two (TWO) failures in the previous chapter. I'm not sure if Leaf's rebellion is just a personal/professional sore point with Blume or if the developers had already developed their own headcanon on that little assassination-plot debacle and that's what is driving Blume over the edge. In terms of storyline, the latter certainly works as a reason; Blume just keeps throwing resources at Lenster Trio 2.0 no matter how many times he gets his ass handed to him on that count. In terms of gameplay it's just annoying.
