sure the blades would have a justifiable reasons for killing him, i understand that

but this dragon only wanted to help mortalkind, he realized his wrongs and wanted to make up for it

would you kill the one who helped mankind, or do it in the name of justice.

i pick the help part Both of those options sound like Paarthurnax being killed.

Sure, the Blades would think they are "justified" in their attempt to have him killed, but what's sickening is them asking the Last Dragonborn to do it, and expecting him/her to obey unquestioningly.

There's no way that the Last Dragonborn can possibly justify the action if he/she does it personally. The Last Dragonborn is technically a Dragon in a sense, too, and would thus only have one true reason to kill any Dragon.

As implied in-game, Esbern & Delphine don't even see the Last Dragonborn as their leader. They see that individual as a tool, fully prepared to discard the Dragonborn once his/her usefulness has ended.
