Right... because killing the man who knows you assassinated the Emperor and doesn't have any loyalties to you certainly doesn't make any sense at all, the wisest thing to do is to leave loose ends flittering freely in the breeze.

I killed him because he was a smug bastard, obviously power hungry, a loose end, hell I gave the old man a clean death, why not kill the man who ordered it and have a little more fun since I already know where the dead drop is? What could Motierre do with the knowledge that the Dark Brotherhood killed the Emperor? He can't exactly go around preaching it to people. He is the new top dog. The top dog that knows your services are reliable and at his service. It would be far more profitable for you to keep him alive.

Besides, you have evidence that he hired you. If things somehow got risky, you have that to hold over his head. Precisely what I was going for.
