That was why New Order almost never forced their subordinate Cursed Spirits to follow orders.
They would retaliate if one of their "children" died. That was non-negotiable.
But they would not protect them unless the child explicitly asked.
This was one of the unique rules of the Cursed Spirits world that existed due to their innate nature, and how they believed Narratives to be sacred.
That was why Math had not tried to save the Exorcist Cursed Spirit earlier in the Blackout Priest's domain.
Exorcist was going to die due of his own choice.
Still, [Exorcist] was a valuable member of New Order.
His ability to detect weaknesses in enemy Cursed Spirits, combined with his fierce loyalty, made him popular among the upper echelons.
Many of them saw him as part of the new generation, one that could redefine the balance between organizations.
They had been looking forward to his growth.
If he had truly died inside that domain, Math would have had to listen to a very long lecture.
