*sign* And how many innocent slaves died in that firework? Passersby in proximity? Workers, that
actually didn't know what their bosses did? (Point is, there could have been some.) People innocent by other means, that just escaped me? This is as stupid as in
In another world I'm called the black healer. Just blow up the castle. That when an OPMC of culture cuts off the ways to escape or somehow marks everyone involved, sends the damsel into safety, descents personally and cleans up one by one. It also draws out the "shocking nature", cruelty of MC and empathizes his edginess in better way. (In other words: It fills the pages.) Just saying.
EDIT: Oh, and as an afterthought: THEN he could have blown those buildings up.
EDIT2: After he let the innocent people go...I hope you caught on my thought process.
