Means to an end

//miːnz tuː ən ɛnd// noun

Definitions

Noun
  1. 1
    A method by which a goal is achieved.

    "Daenerys has seen herself as avenging the wrongs done to her from the first season; she didn’t really need another to add to her list. The way they’re handled, Missandei’s death, as well as Rhaegal’s, amount to chess pieces being removed from the board. They deserve better than being a means to an end, even on a show that’s often treated death (and life) as a game to be beaten."
