I was Chosen By A Perverted Goddess To Help Save Her World

Chapter 60: Pang Of Pity

Ben wasn’t sure if Luna licking her bloody blade like that was some form of threat to him to keep his mouth shut about the two of them.

It was quite disturbing, and clearly very unhygienic.

Ben wasn’t even planning to tell anyone about them to begin with; he wasn’t sure what either mother or daughter might do to him.

Though technically, Ben was stronger than Luna now, the look on her was just too unhinged.

There was dried blood smeared over her belly, on her thigh, as well as over her short top and skirt.....

And then his gaze went to the three men that were being pulled along.

Looking at their horrible state, they looked battered and broken, wounds all over their bodies. These men were barely hanging on for life.

’What the fuck did she do to them ?!’

Ben wondered, unconsciously bringing his gaze to Luna, who was now crouched low by the wagon, using a rag to clean her bloody dagger, looking ridiculously menacing.

Ben, who had planned to punish her now that he was stronger than her, was starting to reconsider the sensibility in that plan.

’No!.... I have to make her pay.’ Ben thought inside, steeling his resolve as he recalled all the things that the young lady had done to him.

It didn’t matter that she was Faerwyn’s daughter, and she was clearly unstable. Ben still had to get his payback. That’s how stubborn he was.

Ben’s gaze again returned to the three men in a battered state, who were being pulled in the direction of the underground dungeon where he had first arrived in this world.

A pang of pity struck him as the thought of what would happen to them crossed his mind.

These men were in their mid to late thirties and forties, so in addition to certainly being castrated, they would also probably be sent into the mines, as he had learned something interesting from the twins the other night.....

The mistress only has interest in very young men.

So these three would most probably not even get the chance to fight for a way to be retained as helper servants in the estate.

This would also explain why they were so bruised and battered, with no consideration to how they appeared.

And in the worst-case scenario, they could just be executed outright after being castrated without even being sent to the mines.

"What brutality," Ben murmured unconsciously, and his statement seemed to have landed on the ears of Nymira in front of him.

She paused in her step, then turned to Ben, her steely eyes catching Ben by surprise, as he paused sharply in his track.

"What do you think, Mr Hardwood ?"

Ben was shocked, as this was the first time Nymira ever said his name; he didn’t even know she knew his name.

"Do you think anyone...Any of my men...."

"Or any other person in this duchy enjoy seeing this...seeing any of this happen?" she intoned calmly, gesturing towards the battered men being dragged off.

"Do you think anyone really wants to do this, when in fact we all have those in our lives who are men, or all men in fact?" she continued.

"Look... really look at those people; what do you see?"

"Do you see young men and women who are enthused at the act of seeking and capturing fellow kingsmen for the sole purpose of them refusing to give up that which makes them whole ?"

she added, as her gaze roamed through the hunter squad of men and women.

And as Ben listened to her, he shifted his gaze to the young men and women of the hunter squad, and as she had said, their expression was anything but light. They were all somber, and none looked like they wanted to be doing what they were.

They too were bloodied and battered; clearly they must have been in situations where they would have to fight.....and even kill some of these people who would rather die than submit, or better still take the lives of those who hunt them.

You could feel their confliction in their every movement and action.

well....

Except for one person, that is, one person that he couldn’t even tell what she was thinking.

"I only choose those with enough sensibility to understand right from wrong, but still have the courage to do what must be done."

"It’s unsavoury. .....but it’s also a necessary evil."

Calmly adding that last statement, Nymira turned on her heel and continued on her way, her ass cheeks clapping gloriously through her grown.

But for the first time since they began walking, Ben was not solely focused on her ass cheeks; he also divided his attention into thinking deeply about what she had said.

Nymira clearly has had a rough past, and must have had to make decisions she hated once the world got restructured by the world empress.

Ben felt what she said was indeed true, and in a sense, those who were refusing castration were in essence, putting the duchy in danger.

If the kingdom doesn’t first intervene and take matters into their own hands to punish the duchy, which would involve a lot of bloodshed....

Then those people the twins had made mentions about, the cleansers, or puritans, Ben couldn’t recall what they called them.

Those people would then have to intervene, taking matters into their own hands and cleans the entire kingdom, as it has happened before.

This consecutive discoveries had more cemented into Ben the need to be very careful in his actions, and grow strong as fast as possible.

Ben now knew enough about this world to understand that power was all that mattered.

With enough power, he could one day challenge whomever, and save anybody he wanted to.

Even if it’s just a little bit of power, he can start saving and helping those he wants to help.

But for now, as he watched those men being dragged off, there was nothing he could do.

So he hastened his pace into step behind Nymira, following along as they headed to the south direction of the estate.

"Where are you taking me, my lady?"

No longer able to hold back his curiosity, Ben had to ask.

"Thought you said you would follow me wherever, Hardwood."

Ben was surprised at her statement. That was clearly a playful tease Nymira had just made, even though her face didn’t show it.

He felt he was clearly wiggling his way into the lady.

Smiling cheekily, he said to her in response.....

"You know I will... to the ends of the world."

"Just a little curious is all."

Nymira was quiet for a while, simply walking ahead, before finally saying to him....

"The mistress has called for you."
