Ely turned silent, concentrating on thinking hard about what the answer could be. Why would someone righteous like the Goddess be imprisoned?
"She's a righteous person, so why-"
"You are right. She is righteous, but far too righteous. I made her into such a goddess, but there was a time she killed a lot of men who cheated on their wives, and she even tortured children who were pickpockets…"
"What?! How could… I can't believe the Goddess would do that."
"Then you don't know her well enough," he chuckled, taking light of his shocking revelation about the white-haired Goddess. He continued, "Even if she killed all the bad people in her world, it will be impossible for every people to become purely good. As you know, human nature is complicated. Humans strive for perfection, and they always have this… hmm, how do I say this… they have the natural instinct to be curious and ask for more than what they have."
