greatelderone: 
why does a ruthless Dark Lord actually show an ounce
of mercy to Lily 

Tyler:
I don't think it was about mercy.  IMO,  LV gets off
on the idea of having people cower before him;  he
enjoys seeing fear in his victims.  He enjoys the
feeling of dominance.  I think he warned Lily to stand
aside because he expected her to comply out of fear. 
When she didn't,  I think he decided to kill her as a
way to try and maintain in his mind this belief that
he can intimidate anyone.
