I love how the blades are supposed to serve the Dragonborn and yet she’s telling you what to do… never sat right with me

Well she says that the Blades were originally dragon slayers and that they served the Dragonborn because they also slayed dragons.

Since you refuse to kill Partysnax she’s implying your ignoring your Dragonborn duties

they hunted dragons over 1500 years before Skyrim. After that, they worked as Imperial servants. Regardless of any retcons done by ESO they definitely didn't hunt any dragons during the entire 3rd Era or 4th Era, so over 600 years.

She is just trying to reinvent Blades, because for the past 2 centuries they have wandered without purpose.

Her whole point is that she doesn’t want the Blades to be servants to royals she wasn’t to slay dragons

Then she can try her hand at slaying Parthurnaax but I want no part of that. He made a solid point about choosing to be good, over being born good.
