He waited three days before he finally went to see his beloved he'd locked up in the cells. He was certain she would die as long as his heart guarding scale remained in her— the only God artifact he came with when he fell and owned.
He used it on her to preserve her life while he made her feel just what he would have felt if she did what everyone brainwashed her to do to him. He wanted her to learn the hard way. And he thought three days' punishment was already enough because truth be told— he never had a second of peace knowing she was down there all alone in his cell, bleeding, probably scared and crying her eyes out. He knew what he did to her was unforgivable, But it was the only way he could make her learn and most likely have her understanding it was useless trying to be against him.
