Feel free to look through them, though I'm not sure how interesting they'll be.
[There are plenty of books here to look through, though Hubert's definitely right to put it like that. Many of them are on history - not just of the Empire, but of the Kingdom and the Alliance as well - and many of the others on his desk are on tactics and strategies. They're all the sorts of things one would expect from lessons in authority, but they go even beyond that and into historical battles and records. Basically, the overwhelming majority of the books on his desk are practical, given what he's said Lady Edelgard is planning on doing.
The books stacked up on the ledge near the window are also practical, though in a different direction. They're entirely on reason magic - dark magic in particular. Many of them look old and worn, but well taken care of. The overwhelming majority of them don't seem to be from the library at all, though that's probably obvious, given the library doesn't have this many books on dark magic anyway.
...In other words, every single book he has in his room is entirely practical and there is absolutely nothing here that would be for entertainment.]
I suppose I could step out and pick something up from the library, if you would prefer.
[He's fully aware his reading material is a bit Much, okay.]
