All it does in ensure one more person dies to Salem. Well, that would be where the twist is. See, only the Fall Maiden can remove the relic from it's host. Otherwise, if it is removed any other way, then can not only have the possibility of killing the host in the process, but the Relic will most definitely be destroyed. So you can't take the relic out of the host without destroying it. and now that Cinder is gone, she has no way of removing the Relic by her own hand. and the host would have to move around a lot and be a good fighter to defend his or her self.

Well, that is, unless the last female in Cinder's thought's as she died was Emerald. Though I don't think Salem would be able to take the Maidens powers otherwise she would have gone instead of Cinder. Probably because you probably has no soul. that would make sense right? Off topic. My point is, in my head, you wouldn't be able to remove the relic without destroying it. and she wouldn't want that, for whatever reason that she intends to use them for.
