Without a doubt, everyone in Alfheim, from top to bottom, knows that the conservatives are a bunch of farcical actors, constantly performing a script that has no chance of success — the overthrow of Li Lin's rule.
The gap in power, intelligence, wealth, and spirit is so obvious that even children can see it. Yet they persist in the cycle of trying and repeatedly failing, just like a foolish cat constantly trying to catch a mouse but being toyed with by the scriptwriter and the mouse itself. They bring universal laughter, injecting some new elements into the hectic pace of life in Alfheim. It's hard to say whether we should admire or despise them.
While the uninvolved audiences can revel in the merriment and provide carefree commentary, what can Tristan say? He's a kin to these comedic actors, highly precocious, and fully aware of the inevitable failure of his elders.
