Beautiful Scar

Chapter 7

After what happened today, Lucas was rather paralyzed, mentally. This foreign place, new people, to suddenly be recruited under Captain Scarlet and meeting the perpetrator of Mary's kidnapper and his sister's murderer. It was a lot to take in.

As he tried to calm down from his thinking, an officer passed him a message. Though, he was to report to Scarlet tomorrow, it seemed she required his presence now and at the castle's dungeon.

Ronald was stripped to the waist; his arms were pulled apart and chained to the brick walls. There was no special treatment here for this foreign prince.

Despites that, Ronald was still fuming with rage, "Unchain me, you crazy woman!" he shouted at Scarlet, who was towering over him, her arms crossed, unfazed, in fact, she smirked.

"My kingdom will wage war on you if you imprison their Prince", he threatened.

Scarlet crouched to his level, her smile still in place, "Aw, you thought your parents are going to save you? Boy, the moment you signed this contract, we have tipped off all your unpunished crimes and offenses to them". That stunned him to silence, "In fact, tonight they are meeting the King and the Princess to discuss what to do with you...Your crime is so heavy, it's almost punishable by death at your kingdom." There was fear in his eyes. "But, it's okay, we don't do that here for your crimes. After all, we don't want to make your parents any sadder than this. Killing their son is just too much".

"What are you going to do to me, huh?" Ronald was still trying to put up a fight.

Scarlet instead used her foot to jam against his groin, real hard. That made him screamed in pain. The steel heel pressed further. Ronald was writhing in pain at the contact. He wanted to push her off, but the other guards were holding down his massive body.

Lucas who had just arrived, witnessed the scene unfolded before him. For the first time, he noticed the look in his superior's eyes. Scarlet's eyes were cold. She was truly disgusted by the man under her foot.

"You men build so much of your physique and yet when it comes to this.", her heel dug further, "You all break so easily", she spat out his words at him. And then she lifted her leg. Ronald was relieved but he managed to glare at Scarlet.

But Scarlet snorted at him instead. "If you could see yourself now, I'm sure all the women you broke and killed them looked more furious than you when you tortured and toyed with them. You're so angry, aren't you? I'm sure that was how it felt like for all those women you did them wrong".

Then, another group of officers arrived with a tray of various length of sharp tools and blades, that almost looked surgical instead of weapons.

"Castrate him".

Blood drained immediately from Ronald's face, his body was writhing, wanting to escape.

"No, no, no! I beg of you! I'll do anything, give you golds! I'll repent! Anything but that! You monster!" his mouth started to muffle by a strip piece of cloth in between his teeth. The group of officers and guards were starting to unbuckle his pants and cutting the clothing that covered his sore sensitive parts.

"I can't go against the order of the King and Queen of the Ire Kingdom", Scarlet replied coldly. "Start".

And the first blade made contact with the skin. And the howling of pain resounded across the dungeon.

Scarlet turned away and stepped outside of the cell. She noticed the shocked and paled look on Lucas.

"Come with me", and Lucas heeded.

The screaming of a sinned man and the howling of his pain echoed for awhile throughout their walks across the castle ways.

"I don't think that the pain we inflicted on him would ever make up for all the horrible things he did to all those women, including your sister..." Scarlet softly said.
