"If someone were to try that here, they would know that they could tell me what they were ordered to do and I'd go after the actual perpetrator instead. I can protect them from whatever consequences they were threatened with, and since I'm widely believed to be even more powerful than I actually am, people know I can protect them. That's the situation I'm used to, where how strongly people can be forced to do things is limited, and that's why I assumed anyone trying to kill me wants me dead. It's different in Fairyland, but it's a specific difference, not one in a wide class of things that don't apply here.
As for disproportionate, it doesn't seem to me to be any more permanent than death."
