Lock her in a tower, that'll solve everything! Absolutely zero downsides, I promise!
Yeah, his logic makes sense, with the information he has that is.
Unfortunately, due to the dark magic she absorbed, her lifespan isn't long, she isn't the Saint and even if she were, the witch will only make things worse if they let a Saint die of old age.

To be honest..he is not too wrong, I mean he does not know that Elrise is a fake. I mean from his point of view if Elrise continue they will create a super powerful witch that nobody can defeat. He probably has no idea that the current Elrise is even aware of the curse. I think the decision they makes kinda makes sense I mean I wouldn't want 5 years eternal war cycle too.
Yeah, I think the same stuff the problem is they didn't know about her situation..like they thought she is real saint and real saint kinda live long I guess.

Manga needs to add more of how Elrise thinks, especially in such moments. But I get the reaction of ppl above, even though LN explains it quite well I was also confused why she did not behave differently in this moment. Hikikomori arc begins!
Time for the hikkimori arc!
But the point is still that it makes sense for them to try and use the [spoiler\] measures to prevent her from becoming the aforementioned über witch no other saint could ever hope to defeat.
tbf, it does make a lot of sense. Although I don't remember it happening like this? Since guards couldn't in any way threaten her or force her by force. (don't remember exactly how they managed things in the end, but I think it was by [spoiler\])

I have a very vague recollection at this point, so take with a pinch of salt. But iirc they threatened the life of the students she had made friends with, if she didn't comply.
And possibly even their own lives, where if she resisted they would suicide? Though I don't think that last one was actual part of it, and just some errant thought I had back then that became canon in my mind.
Not that they, she, or anyone actually thinks they could stop her from saving every hostage if they tried to go through with it (particularly not as they never actually really took them hostage iirc), but they do at least think the threat itself is enough to make her stay put so long as noone actually gets hurt from it.

But her as a saint being enemy is different to more madness-driven her as a witch, which is the point of them trying to stop her from actively hunting down the witch as she has been.
It's obviously not 'perfect' as that's pretty much the point of the conversation in this chapter, but for those in the know of the witch's origin + under impression that Elrise is a real saint, this option give them the longest period of peace.

the king didn't threaten her friend life, but he knew that Elrise, being the kind of person she is, wouldn't hurt people and thus she won't hurt the soldiers, but he can't stop her from leaving, so instead, he made Leila believe what he said that Elrise is better off alive, and Leila being who she is especially after the reveal from the knight she fight before this arc revealing about the witch system, she agreed with the king and act as hostage so Elrise can't leave
additional info : Elrise also likes her neet life, so she doesn't exactly have motivation to leave after Leila ended up being hostage despite Elrise herself can "save" her easily

beeg spoiler of this part, open the spoiler at your own risk (warning for people who haven't read the novel)

The witch is basically in hiding because she's terrified of Elrise
