I thought that genies can't kill? Or is it that they can't kill anyone besides the wisher? Maybe since the wish wasn't "asking" to kill anyone it could still take effect? You would think her wish would have given the Knave back his heart. Genies can't kill on purpose, i.e. you can't wish for someone's death. But side effects of the wishes can kill. Remember what Alice said in episode 1 or 2? When the Knave asked her why not wishing to find Cyrus, she replied “I might find him hanging from a tree”. And King Leopold, too: a side effect of his wish to free the Magic Mirror, although indirectly, brought upon his death.
