[This gruesome punishment was written into his book by his own hands, so the likelihood of karma biting him with so-called poetic justice is quite high (in his mind).
He gulps.
There's no way he can be as careless with his words around gods who aren't Ambition, but Sincerity should already know the truth about his character. There's no reason to pretend too much!]
Right. Can you blame me? The contest is nearly over, and one punishment was already enough. Besides, doesn't a rule like this one benefit you, too?
Oh, it sure does! That's why I'm not turning anyone away.
[he chuckles]
I can't see Piety being too harsh for. It's Ambition's rule you've really got to look out for - not that I think you're likely to kill someone in revenge right now.

Why would I? It's a pity to kill. And vengeance doesn't solve anything, so I can promise you that I'll never seek it.
[Because he's a coward who wants the easiest way out.]

If no one is announced dead by some miracle, what will happen in place of trial? Do you know?
