Moral duties don’t always align with feelings, we may desire to perform a particular action because it seems to be right. However Immanuel Kant, states that morality is about good will (motives), not consequences. The only thing unqualifiedly good is a good will. Pertaining to this scenario, I think Kant would refer to this as a Hypothetical Imperative, since he considers lying as wrong all the time. The rational person, one of good character, would create their own inner struggle, attempting to justify the lie.
