"You took a hostage because you're unsure of your skill, right?" he continued. "You know you need a hostage to keep an advantage. But on that same note, you know that if you get rid of her, you're defenseless. You don't expect me to believe you'd just let her go after taking something, right? If you let her go, I'd just kill you then and take it out of spite. If you killed her, I'd have every reason to torture and execute you. You could take her prisoner, but... who knows what I'd do, then. But if you let her go and leave, I give my word I won't kill you. For now."
