Auto-translated
Nicholas probably should have died; he understood that himself. A vampire king of humans. The people wouldn't accept that; they would overthrow him, and he would have to live in Necropolis, forever a puppet of the necromancers. Perhaps he would even have to kill his own people on their orders. He probably didn't want that. Besides, this isn't "Twilight"; he wouldn't have any human joys with Isabelle.
