---- I look around to see I wasnt the only one.


    Everyone was literally trembling in their boots under Damien s aura.


    Sir Ijust- Lilly sounded like she would piss in her pants any second.


    That smug look on her face was gone reced with pure fear.


    NOW! He roars, those green eyes dare her to utter another word of nonsense and I see her flinch and cover back.


    She gulps, wrapping her fingers around the whip and just like that I saw her walking towards the centre of the trading grounds.


    Ready to face the consequences of her actions.


    ---- eee Chapter 329 *whip* *Whip* Lilly staggers to fall forward, her knees scrap against the ground.


    And her hands holding the whip tremble.


    Sir pl-ease! I am sorry.


    I was- I was lying..


    [..


    Continue.


    He cuts her pleas with a single word and J stare at the scene with pity simmering in my eyes.


    I don''t like Lilly, there is no lie in the fact but it doesn''t mean I will find humour in her pain.


    I looked at Damien.


    Hoping to see any signs of stopping in those cold green orbs but I find none.


    He was leaning back on his chair like a king, with his eyes closed, listening to the sound of the whip cutting the air like its music to his ears.


    ---- ee Everyone gathered around the training grounds.


    They were looking at Lilly''s punishment getting delivered by her own hands but no one dared to say anything.


    I flinch closing my eyes as I see blood trailing down from the cuts on her back and dripping on the ground.


    She continues to whip her own back, her lips tremble, begging for mercy but none is shown.


    34 on a Scout counts every time the corded whip stuck her back until I see her teary eyes dropping and her body swaying.


    She was barely keeping it up.


    Her grip on the whip was loosening and her strength was giving away.


    Her whips were going softer.


    The sound of the whip tearing your skin should be louder than your lies! Whip harder! He growls and she holds in a sob and nods.


    Tears stream down her face.


    ---- eee = She straightens her back, closes her eyes and tightens her grip on the crop handle of the whip.


    Closing her eyes, she goes for another hit.


    When I have had enough.


    This was going overboard now.


    This was pure torture.


    T know she lied and deserves to be punished but this wasn''t the right way.


    She doesn''t have to spill her blood to repent.


    Before the whip could touch her back, I stepped forward and gripped the leather in my hand.


    My skin burned at the contact, but I didn''t pull back.


    Thear gasps around me and I look down to find Lilly looking up at me with tear-bimming desperate eyes.


    Her head shook in a no, she was telling me not to help her and interfere in this.


    But I refuse.


    My grip on the ship stays strong.
