I don't want to claim your life

This time, I was perfectly aware of what the stone in my hand would do. Given the few times I used it already, I was slowly getting used to the sight of complete and utter devastation. What's more, what I would be aiming this deadly weapon at wouldn't be fellow humans, but some kind of hideous monsters, making the activation far easier on my broken morals.

"Now then, do you have any specific requests for the place where you want me to massacre your enemies?" Rising my head at the prince, I could see a tingle of surprise appearing in his eyes, only to disappear right away, hidden behind a cold and expressionless face of the noble.

"I know that was your previous deal, but it doesn't matter now. As long as you will be able to put a dent in their lines, my soldiers will be able to explore the gap." Shaking his head in denial, the prince ultimately gave up on my offer.
