As he reflected on just how brutally she had killed him, the thought occurred to me that she hadn't actually acted with such sincere motives after all.
It wasn't self-defense, nor was it necessary for the greater good.
Sure, she had to stop him from slaughtering innocent people, but she hadn't even tried to guide him onto the right path—to steer him toward the good—through words or deeds.
Fundamentally, she is not much different from him if her immediate thought is that murder is the only solution.
When Banya, the Leaguemaster of the Thousand Malice League, chose Youngso Baekli of the righteous path as his bride, it was supposed to buy ten years of peace. But while his death at her hands risked that peace, the greatest threat proved to be his return to life three years later. Desperate to convince Banya that she didn’t curse him, the couple soon ends up entering a bargain with the Queen Mother herself. With her soul on the line, all that remains is the question: Is redemption possible?
