I have to say, "You living YOUR life is MY best revenge!" is not how I would go, but I guess Sir Percy is not a Scorpio.

I feel the excruciating awkwardness of owing Percy not just the debt of Chauvelin's own life but the life of his beloved daughter (not to mention her wedded happiness with the grocer down the street) is actually a pretty solid revenge, especially given Chauvelin's total failure to get one over on Percy at any point in their acquaintance (now presumed permanent since this is chronologically the last book in the series, although as such it is a bit of a hard stop. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a tiny thirsty nemesis fuming—forever).
