All sacrificed to my desire;

Answer 1

Yes, the answer would be the last one. You can tell that the author has no remorse at all for who she has killed/

Answer 2

They proclaim that the speaker has callously used people for her own benefit.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the sentence that best shows how the speaker is only concerned with her own pleasure. In this passage, the author tells us that she created many "martyrs." This implies that many people suffered because of her. Moreover, she tells us that the reason was that these people were "sacrificed to [her] desire." This shows that many people have suffered due to the author using them for her own benefit.
