The three presets are King Alistair ruling alone (Old God Baby ending, m!Cousland Warden), Alistair ruling jointly with Anora (Ultimate sacrifice ending, f!Dalish Warden), and Alistair as exile (Redeemer ending, m!Aeducan Warden). There is no preset with a Warden Alistair.
My scenario for hardening Alistair: it's from my f!Aeducan canon, and although she's generally good and helpful and caring, she has reason to be less charitable when family is involved. So that's why she was able to say that line to him at that time. Also, in the back of her mind she was already considering that there was an excellent chance of him ending up as king, and on some level she felt she ought to start preparing him for the eventuality. One of the things I love about Alistair/Aeducan is the parallel of their situations: both royalty, both denied their birthright; she's getting farther from hers while he's being forced closer to his. It makes for an interesting contrast.
