Bill hesitates, but only slightly. As King he will always have an answer for everything.
"What matters is that you are not a threat now," he replies. "As long as I have the witch in custody, we all should be safe."
He signals to one the guards. "Release his Progeny."
The guard wordlessly heads off into the mansion.
For vampires, doing the right thing or the wrong thing is irrelevant. They do whatever is best for vampires as a whole, or for themselves as an individual. Morality has nothing to do with practicality.
But Bill will never forget that being with Sookie helped him reclaim his humanity.
He looks at Eric, and glances away toward Sookie's house, beyond the darkness, and back up at him.

"Go," he says with a faint nod.
