¬ FASHIRE 

I believed I was already getting a faint idea of what was wrong with me and I didn't like it one bit. Hiln aside, I was able to take a second look at my recent actions and I realised I might have been a bit too rash.

True, the torturing might have been excessive whereby a swift death would have been more than enough to send the correct message. I don't always react and when I do act later, it would be after so much constant brooding on that specific action that had offended me. 

What if I tried as much as I could to take my mind off the issue and returned to it when I had mellowed out? Would that have proven more effective? 

On second thought, the punishment is good as it was. Death alone wouldn't be enough to deter some very stubborn nobles and there were quite a number still in the court.
