Chapter 338 - A Sense of Guilt (2/2)

Princess Nami pondered for a moment and became very uncomfortable. But she wouldn’t admit her fault. She only grunted for a second.

The three men on the bed tried to sit up. Xiao Bing said, “Lie back down. You guys are still injured. I’m here to apply medicine on you. Did you buy all the drugs I recommended?”

The one who opened the door was the strongest of them. Though there were scars all over his body, they didn’t hurt anymore. He walked over and pointed at the medical box underneath the window and said, “Master, I’ve bought them all.”

“Good.” Xiao Bing walked over, squatted and opened the box. There were cotton, disinfectant, needles, thread, syringes, ointment, etc.

Xiao Bing pulled Princess Nami to him, placed the box on the stool and said, “Treat their wounds.”

Nami shook her head in a flurry, “I don’t know how to.”

Xiao Bing sniggered, “You can learn. First, anesthetize the patient, then clean the wound with alcohol, then sew the wound with the needle, apply the ointment, then bind it.”

“Sew? No, I can’t do this!” Princess Nami almost burst out crying. “I’m even afraid of injections!”

Xiao Bing sneered, “Open your eyes wide and look at the wounds. Think carefully about how they were inflicted!”

Grabbing the girl’s jaw, Xiao Bing forced her to look at the men who were lying on the bed with various wounds and scars on their bodies. The scars were from the battle of 400 men and the wounds were inflicted during their battle with Xiao Bing. Some of the old wounds were festering since they were not tended to in a timely manner. The moment the princess saw the wounds she rushed into the bathroom and began throwing up.

Xiao Bing walked to the bathroom and said coldly, “You think it’s disgusting? Do you know that you are the one who did this?”

“What if you were hurt like this? Do you know how it feels when all your wounds are festering? You have always thought that you are the most beautiful woman on earth and believe that everyone else will agree to it. I believe you’d rather be dead if you were treated like that.”

Princess Nami pictured it. Soon she bent over the sink and threw up almost everything she had eaten.

Xiao Bing was watching her apathetically. After the princess brought out almost all of her stomach’s content, Xiao Bing spoke coldly, “Clean your mouth, then come out.”

Princess Nami did what she was told and left the bathroom. She looked upset. Xiao Bing had intended to hypnotize her to let her be the one who was caged. But he surmised that the girl was mentally weak. So he gave up the idea in case she gets a mental breakdown.

Xiao Bing said coldly, “Go and take care of their wounds. Squeeze the pus out first, then apply the disinfectant and the ointment and bind it up.”

Princess Nami didn’t even dare to look. “Can I just send them to the hospital? I can’t do this…”

Xiao Bing put ice in his voice, “Then what were you thinking? Once you do something wrong there would be consequences to face. Now you can’t even take care of a wound. Do you know how much pain they have to go through every day? When they were locked up, their wounds became inflamed and no one was there to treat them. Some got so itchy they had to scratch them, which made the wounds fester. Yet you think it’s disgusting? Do you know how painful it is? Do you know that they can’t sleep well because of the pain?”

Xiao Bing’s words sent chills down the princess’s spine. She wanted to throw up once again as she began picturing the scene. She had always been a self-centered girl, doing whatever she liked. But she never meant to treat men like toys. It was Eguchi Nakayama’s idea to please her.

Before she didn’t want to do this. Though she was a petulant and childish girl, she thought it was inappropriate. But Eguchi Nakayama told her that these men were all prisoners who had committed evil crimes. He said since they were sentenced to death, it didn’t matter how they were going to die. He even said that their death might be more worthy if they died while amusing the princess. Being self-centered and vain, she took his advice.

She didn’t care about these criminals’ lives, so she never felt any guilt until she heard what Xiao Bing told her. She suddenly realized what she had done. A sense of dread closed around her when she thought of having these ugly scars on his smooth skin. She once thought there was nothing much to death, but now she realized some things were even more terrifying than death.

Pain and affliction.
