What about an Almyran invasion? I think the answer to that lies in “We just saw two Almyran armies get devastated within the span of three years, and the Prince who led both of these miserably failed invasions was killed out of a result of his own stupidity.” It’s no different than killing Edelgard at the end of AM or VW. When the aggressor kicks down your door and outright rejects mercy to your face, I think most can say one is within reason to oblige.

I mean. While it is stated in the Prologue that the Almyran army amassing beyond the Locket is the largest seen since the last invasion attempt roughly 200 years prior, I don't think we have evidence that the whole of that army was devastated. Shahid went in against orders trying to prove himself and got his ass kicked -- if his contingent was the only one that got decimated (and I personally doubt that a handful of students, a mercenary, and Holst would be capable of countering a full army the likes of which hasn't been seen in 200 years), that's not a whole army. The same is true for the second fight against Shahid, where he pulled together a force and tried again: a substantial force, maybe, but not an invasion force the likes of which hasn't been seen in 200 years, which I don't think he could amass on his own without the king's knowledge or approval (as far as I understand it -- again, haven't played, don't know details).

Also, you said it yourself: it was a prince who led them (against orders). The king has significantly more power than a prince does, and can pull from a far larger pool of military resources than a prince who's recklessly trying to prove himself. Almyra is huge, described in the Traveler's Journal as a vast kingdom of plains, deserts, and mountain ranges, and it's so large that it hits the edge of the Fodlan maps and potentially extends further. If the king of Almyra really wanted to, I have no doubt he could pull together a force that more than makes up for what Shahid lost.

But at least by my understanding, the situation with Shahid is very different from the one with Edelgard at the end of Azure Moon and Verdant Wind. In Azure Moon with Dimitri, he offered his hand and she met it with a dagger to the chest -- Dimitri reflexively struck her with his lance in the face of that attack. It wasn't a calculated murder, it was an ingrained reaction. And in Verdant Wind, Edelgard is never disarmed: she makes it very clear that Byleth will have to forge ahead over her grave, and since she doesn't unhand her weapons (she can't physically manage Aymr, but she never loosens her grip on the Sword of Seiros she took from Rhea) there's really no choice in the matter.

From what I understand, Shahid has no weapon anymore: he threw it in a rage at Claude, and has no further means of defense. His death is therefore an execution in the vein of Edelgard beheading Dimitri at Tailtean in Crimson Flower.

The thing about Claude that made him stand out in Three Houses was that while he might not have had a reason to offer mercy, he tried to the best of his ability. He tried to reach out to people and avoid bloodshed, knowing that every life lost was someone he could not reach in understanding, which -- by his own words to Byleth in their Three Houses A support -- has been his ultimate goal since the he came to Garreg Mach in the first place: opening borders to encourage peaceful relations between different peoples and cultures. Hence why so much of what I've been hearing about Three Hopes and its characterization of Claude leaves such a bad taste in my mouth.
