Novel & Cerita Ruthless Kindness

The king's reputation precedes him, for he is known to be a merciless ruler who spares not even those of high birth. The fallen vampire received a brutal blow to the face as the king mercilessly stomped on him. With each powerful thump, the creature's body began to resemble a freshly baked loaf of bread, while its once-rounded head now appeared strikingly flattened. As the deed was done, the king remained steadfast, his gaze unflinching. The task was easily achieved.

My heart pounded at the cold and darkness of his eyes. I let go and backed away. The piece of glass that is now tainted with blood fell on the floor. "Look what you've done, Audrey! You're so slutty! You're just like your mommy-" "Shut up!" I spat angrily and turned to Rustov. "And you? Why did you interrupt? It's not my fault why you got hurt! That's your fault for taking that stupid girl's side! Why are you defending her? Your friend? Girlfriend? Because, you're both trash!"

He was always with a kind word and a kind look to his eyes. Other Alphas might not exactly like him but we all knew John was exceedingly intelligent and hardworking. So, we couldn’t dismiss him even if people felt his kindness made him, ‘weak’. I don’t think that. As ruthless as I was rumored to be, I knew that ruthlessness was nothing really. I’d give it up in a moment just to be as kind as John was.

a more elderly man agreed until they were all talking angrily amongst themselves. “Gentleman, Gentleman!" I called. “Edric was a cruel man indeed, but does that mean we repay him with the same cruelty? He has been merciless to me among many during his rule, but I will NOT allow any man to starve into a slow and painful death, no matter his crimes. That is not who we are, and we will not respond to ruthlessness with that of our own! We WILL be better than that. Better than the example he led by.” I waited a moment before I continued to allow what I said to sink in and to watch the response on their faces. But so far, it seemed they all understood my reasoning.

"Then why are you teaching me kindness? You could have let me kill that rogue yesterday." "Because there's a difference between mercy and weakness." Nyx returned to her carving. "Your mother's mistake wasn't being kind. It was being naive. She thought kindness alone could protect her. You know better. You showed that rogue mercy, but you also made sure he feared you too much to betray you." "Is that what you're teaching me? To be kind and terrifying?" "I'm teaching you to survive." The knife resumed its steady work. "Kindness is a luxury you can afford only when you're strong enough to defend yourself. Right now, you're building that strength."

Mindy grabbed her by the hair, her eyes flaring. Ruth had the time to contemplate and she knew that she might not survive or escape her parents and cousin today. Since there was no chance of survival, she thought it better to speak her mind. After all, Ruth had always been a fearless fierce woman. She used to be unsophisticated and knew no boundaries or shame, so she used to show off and take pleasure in suppressing others. She finally realized that she was the way she was under the influence of her family and her cousin. After spending time with Sabrina and Yvonne, she had learnt what it meant to be courageous and strong. Her face was swollen but the contempt in her glare remained. "I said,

And my sadness fueled this killer motive of mine. What’s the use of being happy and kind when the world is such a wretched and cruel place? You smile at everyone but everyone frowns at you when your back is turned. You help a brother pick up his weapon— a weapon he has designed to stab you, and you discuss his well-being while he plots to rip your heart out with that very weapon. Kindness seems senseless, and brutality now feels like reality. Why should I be good when my reward is always pain and anguish? Why should I show compassion to my friends when they only hope to change their identities and become my enemies?

That's the worst punishment but I need to be cruel and ruthless so the people wouldn't take advantage of me ever again. Life has taught me such a hard lesson that I have suddenly started to understand everything. I can get why Ryan and my Dad never show their weaknesses and vulnerabilities to the world. People are dying to get such chances to take advantage of them and use them against themselves. My kindness and generosity was also taken in a wrong way. They thought they could do whatever they wanted and get away with it. But that's not how I am anymore. "Consider it done." His alluring words snapped me back to reality. I turned on my heels to face him and shuddered at the sight of the dark

He could be his own man, a man of mercy and kindness, and still be a successful leader. He gently shakes his head. “Do not be confused, Harper. The softness I show towards you is rare. For others, particularly those who betray me, I feel nothing but distain. I am not a kind man. I am not a kind King.” My heart aches, watching him switch from a man who cared about my bruises to one who would soon murder to find his answers. “They call me a ruthless King because that is what I am.”

I answered, of course I knew how I was feeling, I felt like kicking his balls and sending him a punch in his face. "Maybe you love his money." He insulted and I stood up. "I don't love his money and I'm not..." I froze immediately, if I needed the job, I needed to be nice also and control the urge to punch him. "Actually, I should get going, my mom has an appointment with the doctor today and you know, mothers could be more dramatic." I replied and walked out of the door. I ran out of the organization and heaved a sigh, it was already in the afternoon, I stopped in a taxi and slowly hopped in.
