2) It hardly matters what someone did to you, it is if they are a threat. I don't believe Omi Kurita was a threat to anyone either. If you know five years down the road this is going to be a problem, resolve it now.
3) Candace has/had the resources to rule effectively. She was able to get into Sian with no trouble and get aid from allies to get there.
4) He didn't LET her do anything. The St. Ives Compact existed since he was 8.
5) I guess you forgot that he attacked the St. Ives Compact in 3060. You know, once he got into a stronger position.
6) What about HER son? Kai technically has a line on the throne. Sun-Tzu knows it. Shouldn't she be a LITTLE concerned for her kid?
1) That has nothing to do with Sun Tzu being spared by Candace.
2) As I previously said, you won't murder a child that did nothing to you if you have just a bit of humanity in yourself. Kuritans probably lack that (at least their leaders).
3) It was actually a warrior house that helped here get in and out. They knew Confederatin would be doomed if left under Romano's rule.
4) The fact about St. Ives is that when he forced it back into Confederation, he didn't execute Candace. He left here the rule and even gave her a home in the palace on Sian. Other rulers would have stripped her of power right away to secure the rulership over the people there and then kill her, not let her rule and invite her to sit next to them.
5) Candace couldn't possibly know the impact of her decision, but well...
6) Kai? If Davions attacked St. Ives, he would be the one stabbing her on spot. And both she and Sun Tzu knew that he would never want to claim the throne and that Capellans ould never allow him to do so, either.
