I like the idea that Daud gets true mercy in the end. In the DLC, he's shown to leave his assassin's blade on the Empress's grace, and that to me implies that he gets off okay. Daud really is changed by his experience with the Empress and he does end up helping to save the kingdom by stopping Delilah. My version of Corvo was also out for a goal - get Emily on the throne - and not revenge. The duel between Corvo and Daud I think had to do with Daud's sense that he would have to fight Corvo - "And now we fight a duel that no two other men could fight." Add to that - Daud could have been Corvo or like Corvo if he'd found a cause other than coin, which he does in the DLC.

It's kind of poetic, really.
