As much as I hate Cardin, and though I had a lot of experience in Velvet's shoes (even the ear thing in a metaphorical sense), I don't think he aught to die. He aught to feel the shame of defeat, yes, but he also deserves to be shown the value of mercy. And who better than our own Velvet to teach it.
