Tara was rendered speechless upon hearing Charlie‘s words. Frustrated by his apparent lack of seriousness, anger surged within her, mingled with panic.
She stared at Charlie, her tone wavering from earlier confidence to one of desperation as she asked, "What do you intend to do with me?"
Charlie replied, "I've already told you, you're still useful to me, so it would be wise to cooperate. Otherwise, not only might I take your life, but I could also convince Morgana that you have betrayed her. In such a case, if Morgana decides to eliminate your entire family, you cannot hold me responsible."
Tara clenched her teeth and retorted, "Crimes shouldn't befall the innocent. Don't you possess any basic morality?"
Charlie sneered, "You still cling to that notion of not punishing the innocent? Look around, how many families do the dead soldiers and cavalry guards here represent? Whose family hasn‘t suffered? Whose family isn't at the mercy of the Warriors Den? You, yourself, are complicit in supporting a tyrant. How can you speak to me about morality? Do you believe your family has value while the families of these soldiers do not?"
