บท 109: [Bonus chapter]ONE HUNDRED NINE: A Blood Stained Promise

What benefit would Kel get from killing Soren?

It was a strange question. 

Revenge on those that had already died at his hands? Preventing any trouble he might cause in the future?

Was there anything else she could possibly gain or even needed to gain from slaughtering the vile man?

"He'd be dead," she scoffed in response to the emperor's odd inquiry. "What more 'benefit' do I need?"

The emperor shook his head, his lips curling into a smirk.

"You're too naive," he chided. "It's always better to squeeze every last drop of usefulness out of someone… even if it's while your hands are around their neck."

Of course, the emperor was that kind of person.

Even when killing, he calculated every single detail, manipulating the situation to somehow profit him in the long run.

Kel wasn't like that, however.
