Aegon wasn't fond of killing. Actually, he hated taking lives. It wasn't his right to judge others, and he felt uncomfortable doing it. Especially since he had spent his life saving others, so how could he take lives himself?
But it didn't mean he would let his enemies go. This was a harsh world, and Xiu had taught him well how to survive in it. Kindness toward your enemies could mean cruelty toward yourself and your loved ones.
He didn't have any plans to let the Songsword Family go. If Samuel and the others hadn't stopped him, he planned to let Xiu kill them all.
They had planned to kill him and his family. That alone was more than enough reason for him to execute them. However, Samuel's interruption changed things.
"So you let them go just because of Father?" Micheal frowned. "But you don't need to give in to him. I mean, if House Valeria learns of this, they'll eradicate the entire Songsword House and there's nothing Father can do to stop it."
