Excluding that ,the hotel loses it's magic if the master dies.
I don't recall that they ever said that Asterion is not allowed to make a plan to kill the master of the realm.
For example: what if Asterion poisons the master ?,or what if Asterion changes the structure of the labyrinth to booby trap the master ?
Does the master's order have to be of earshot to be followed by Asterion or does it just implement itself if the master orders it to be?
