Ruthlessness Is Mercy Upon Ourselves Novels & Stories

She cried out as she can to let my ears be struck by her echoes. "Ms. Dandelion, it is my responsibility to save your friend from getting persecuted by uncertainty and misery!" I said and let go of my hand off her kindness. How sweet of her though and I do pity myself for refusing offers like that continuously. Grace doesn't have to do that, I came to implore for help and not take gratitude. The moon gave me a route to run away from the promise that might not be retained forever. Within the moonbow, I felt there was no hope of healing the shattered essence of an individual.

I can't seem to do anything right. Dad continued gazing at me from the photograph, his smile unchanged. I knew I could never receive his response or forgiveness again. My heart spasmed painfully, and I braced myself against the ground with my arms. "I know you must both be so angry with me. Adrian is as well. I'm selfish and stupid. I deserve everything that's ever happened to me. But I'm so tired. I can't outplay Sean. I can't even drag him down with me when I die."

Mercy said. Ari was stunned.... I am so disappointed in you Mercy! You want me to betray my wife? You betrayed your first wife because of me. The pleasure I gave you was enough to complete your desire. I am so glad that I made you happy in my own way. Mercy said. Mercy, my relationship with Lillian was different than my relationship with Savannah. Well, it comes with the territory. Ari, whether you love your wife or not, I still want you. I could be your mistress for the rest of my life. Mercy said. You don't have to look for another woman to be your mistress. I can fill it in.

I saw every choice toward mercy rather than vengeance, every moment I'd extended genuine opportunity for transformation rather than simple destruction. "You have shown mercy even toward those who sought your destruction," the presence observed, its ancient voice carrying something that felt, for the first time, genuinely warmer than the cold weariness it had carried before. "You have shown wisdom in choosing collective sacrifice over individual burden. You have shown courage in confronting uncertainty rather than retreating into convenient avoidance."

"So maybe stop shouting at each other and start listening to her." I looked at each of them. "I keep thinking about the safe house, and Rose. About Derek still in his hands. About the child Lila is carrying." I hated how my voice sounded at the time. "If we become the kind of people who unleash one monster to kill another without even trying a last door, how are we different from him?" Draven stepped closer, close enough that I felt the heat of his frustration radiating off him. "Mercy is not a weakness. But offering it to something that has fed on bonds for fifteen hundred years might be suicide, and I am done pretending otherwise."

“Then speak, Queen. Tell us why we should trust the one who spared the serpent.” The crowd murmured. Some nodded. Others looked away. “Because mercy isn’t weakness,” I said. “Because I’ve seen what vengeance turns us into. I fought for this kingdom to live, not to bleed endlessly.” A woman stepped forward. “And yet our sons bled for your crown!” she shouted. “Our homes burned while you sat in your palace forgiving demons!” Her words hit harder than any arrow. I met her gaze. “You think forgiveness cost me nothing?” I said quietly. “Then look closer. Every mercy I gave took something from me. A friend. A brother. A peace that never stayed.”

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.

Landen had looked at me like he lost my mind. "They'll come back stronger." He warned. "You're making a mistake." And fuck, was he right. And now, two years later, I was having to battle with the lowest of the lows again. I should have killed them when I had the chance. Now, I remembered how I had become rigid and ruthless. It was because I believed ruthlessness is mercy upon myself.

If he thought one good act would wipe all the other years away, then he was wrong. I’m not a person of forgiveness–not that he deserves it. No one like him deserves forgiveness, because people like him only love to mess around with other people. The moment they actually have to be responsible for something–anything–they run away like cowards. It’s in their nature, but it was never in mine. I was never a coward, and I wouldn’t be one now. That was my thought as I redirected my gaze to him and looked him dead in the eye.
