"Betrayal is a... terrible thing" Ardyn said with a very deep understanding. He shook his head and let out a short sigh. "And not all of us are afforded the chance for retribution" he added. "And yet here we are..."
"There is no telling what that corruption could do if let loose upon the universe outside" Ardyn replied with a gentle shrug. "Until we know more about its nature, it will be difficult to tell what to do with it, even if we could contain it elsewhere" he added, picking up his tea to take another sip. He finished the last of it off and placed the cup back down.
If Ardyn had just been able to get his hands on Higgs. He could have learned everything about him. In the process he might have become a bit more like that and Ardyn had enough Demons as it was. He didn't need that personality added to his horrid mix.
