If I shouldn't
Dear forumers, please help me understand the phrase in bold:
There's a sadness in Emily, but she's strong, weathering the death of her mother just half a year ago better than most grown men I've known. Once we take Dunwall Tower, I'll see that her life is better. I've always thought that I'd command the navy in her name, but sometimes I wonder if I shouldn't just take the title Lord Regent, and do it properly.
Doesn't the speaker mean that commanding the navy would be too much, but taking the title is something he can really do?
