Adrian doesn't usually worry about manners when he's killing people. Usually he finds explaining the reasons for peoples' deaths a waste of breath, after all if you asked a group of people they could usually give you at least half a dozen reason's the people in the group should die.
This time though he's making an exception. After all this time he's not committing mass murder, hell as far as the rest of the world is concerned Ms. March won't even be murdered. She'll die of an unfortunate drug overdose.
He tells her that in an attempt to comfort her, even though he knows she won't hear him in her drugged state. Perhaps he is simply trying to comfort himself. He doesn't like killing people if the need for their death isn't clear but unfortunately a clear reason for Ms. March's death will never come to light.
Still good-manners dictate that one tell the truth in such intimate situations as this so just as her last breath leaves her he leans over and whispers the reason into her ear. He tells her of how her death will serve a purpose more grand than her life and how in death she will assure that the secrets of how the earth was saved never come to light.
