Alex had to cover his face as he actually started crying. Bitch held her "Master's" arm between her mountains and tried to comfort him. He couldn't look her in the eyes and it only made him feel worse that she couldn't see or feel the things that happened to her.
He may not have done any of this to her, but he couldn't help but feel responsible. So many things that contradicted his morals from earth had been hitting him constantly over the last few months and this was just the final hit that toppled the tree.
He knew this was a new world, with different norms, but it was still hard to adjust to. He may have come a long way since first finding himself here, but he was still a ways away from making it his norm.
After a while, he calmed down with a deep breath and found "Bitch" clinging to him.
"How can Bitch make Master feel less sad?" She asked with concern.
Alex sighed.
"First your name is no longer 'Bitch.' We'll call you... Grace for now."
He came up with a name on the spot but felt it might be a good name for her. Any name would probably be better than "Bitch" though.
'Grace' now had a complicated look on her face. For as long as she could remember, her name was always 'Bitch' so it was hard to change that. However her 'Master' gave her this name so she had to comply.
"Okay, my name is now Bi-Grace. Please let G-Grace know how she can help Master." She felt weird now using her name but she hoped her master might change his mind soon.
'I also need to try and help fix her speech.' Alex thought. If she was taken as a child she definitely would miss out on some basic education she would have gotten from her family if she had one.
"Alright Grace, I have some things to do so just lay down and rest for me, I need to treat your wounds."
Alex got up and headed to the main room where Geren's bed was. Grace was about to follow when she fell back. Both of them looked at the chain that was attached to the post and Alex sighed before going up to her and trying to take off the chain around her neck.
He gritted his teeth as he tried to break it off without hurting her but even when he used his full strength it didn't budge! He furrowed his brow but it wasn't time to worry about it. It may be uncomfortable for her but she seemed to be used to it so he would have to leave it on her, unfortunately.
He broke the chain off as close as he could to the collar, only leaving a few chains before he helped her over to the bed.
"Master, G-Grace can't sleep in your bed. That is Master's bed and Grace has her bed." She looked concerned as she looked back at her hay pile.
Alex couldn't help but clench his jaw but still answered her.
"I'm your Master now and I say you can sleep in my bed." Alex said this and Grace widened her eyes.
While Alex thought nothing of his words, they meant the world to Grace. Alex just meant that it was fine to sleep in this bed since he didn't want her on the dirty ground, however she interpreted it as him "sleeping" with her.
Her heart beat faster at the thought of getting to please her Master already and when Alex helped sit her on the old mattress that was turned into a bed, she didn't let go of his arm. Confused, he looked at her only to find she was right in front of his face with her lips against his.
His first reaction was to back away but was unable to when she caught him in her embrace. Alex wanted out of this situation but it was hard not to get turned on. However, looking at the state of her body reminded him of what he needed to do.
He ended up pushing her away after using his superior strength to get out of her grasp. He was actually quite surprised that she was a 1st Ring! Whatever Geren did, allowed her to get stronger, and maybe that was why she hadn't died from all the wounds she had gotten over the years.
She shivered in delight from his lips and was sad when he broke it off. Although she may not feel pain, for some reason she still felt pleasure. In fact, for her, her pleasure was almost twice as much as a normal person would register so just kissing got her really wet.
Alex could see the puddle she formed and was unsure how that could happen unless she peed but it didn't smell. Getting back to the serious matter at hand, he helped her lay down.
"You don't need to do that, I already told you I don't need a sex slave. I'm going to give you some medicine okay?" He began working as the girl had tears in her eyes.
"B-But Grace is a loyal sex slave... i-if Master doesn't need a sex slave... then Master doesn't need Grace?" She looked at her Master with a complicated gaze.
Alex felt pain in his chest when she looked at him. He just couldn't say no to her even if he knew it was wrong.
"Grace... I don't need a sex slave but it doesn't mean you aren't a bad person. I'm just here to help you get to safety then maybe you can find a new master who will care for you."
"NO! I don't want another Master! I love you Master!" She couldn't help but yell out.
Although both were unaware, Alex's [Aria's Lover] Skill and even his [Booty Conqueror] Skill had hidden effects that made both of them more attracted to each other, and feel more pleasure when they kissed. It was the same thing that happened between him, Alicia, and Kaya, but it felt more gradual for them.
Grace's unusual dopamine receptors made her feelings come out in an instant rather than over time...
For Grace, his touch was extremely potent. She had silently cummed when they kissed but cumming was like breathing for her and she could even cum on command if she focused enough.
Alex was surprised by her words and it only served to make this more complicated. How would people react when they found out he got a slave? Better yet, one that called him master and had a body made for breeding?
Alex could only imagine the kinds of rumors that would swirl around the inn after that.
Alex was in a complicated position, to say the least, but could only grit his teeth and move on like usual... not like the degenerate in him wasn't complaining about his situation...
With Grace down on the bed, he took out some sort of natural salve he made from the forest. He used a bit of it on Auntie Eva but she didn't need it much since it focused on healing things like bruises or small cuts.
Grace had tons of them so he emptied the entire container and didn't even cover 3/4ths of her body. He just had to put it on the worst places and hope she could heal the rest on her own, or wait until he could make more.
It was similar to a healing spell, where it sped up the natural healing factor of the body so Alex was able to see her skin become less blue to the naked eye, just not as fast as a real spell. Grace grew sleepy since it took a lot of energy from the body whenever healing was done like this so he quickly helped her drink some water before she fell asleep.
He sighed and covered her up with blankets before leaving the room. He took one look at the unconscious Kate before dragging her over to where Grace's bed used to be. He had an evil grin on his face as he grabbed a collar similar to the one Grace had on.
After stripping the woman naked and admiring her curves for a second, he went around the demolished camp, looking for anything worth money, freeing slaves, and burying bodies of slaves who were already dead and rotting.
None of the girls he found alive acted as weird as Grace but they thanked him profusely with tears in their eyes. Some even gave him big kisses which he felt bad about taking but didn't reject.
In the end, he found several tons of gold and jewels as well as many weapons of varying conditions. Tons of good clothes came out of this haul too and he gave some to the slaves so they could cover up much to his dismay.
Although most of them looked like they came out of a boxing ring, they all had very good bodies. If it was another time and place where they were in better condition, he definitely would have tried to seduce them.
However, he already had Grace to keep his hands full and didn't need more troublesome women.
As a man from earth, he felt horrible, awkward, weird, and many other emotions about having a slave. Slave was a term that had a lot of negativity from what he knew and could only imagine how he would be seen later.
He gathered everything and everyone in one area behind Geren's tent where there was no blood. The slaves were huddled together with warm clothes and blankets with food around them. Alex let them splurge on the food he could find here and some he saved for himself.
He could only imagine the horrors they went through. He then waited a few hours before Grace woke up again and he let her stay with the other slaves while he went and woke up Kate unceremoniously.
Throwing a pot of boiling water on top of her, she woke up screaming and writhing in pain. Cold water was being nice to her and he wasn't going to be nice to her, even if she was a woman.
Her bare skin sizzled a bright red and she soon realized she was stripped and tied up. It was humiliating to be in this condition and she glared at Alex with a mix of fear and anger.
"Get me out of this fucking thing!" She demanded as she grabbed the collar with her tied-up hands. She reached a similar conclusion Alex had and wasn't able to get it off.
He smirked, "Why should I help you? You guys killed, r*ped, and stole so I'm just giving you a taste of your own medicine."
"You Mantrigeld dog! When my father hears of this you will wish for your death!" She screamed only to get a fist in the face.
"I don't know who Mantrigeld is and I don't give a fuck who your father is," He glared at her making her cower in fear as his aura crushed her, "Your Man-whore of a father isn't here right now is he? How will he know you died by my hand if there are no survivors?
"Dead men tell no tales, after all~" Alex teased her, only for her to wet herself.
All she saw was a demon looming over her and it scared her shitless.
"Hahaha!! Look at you! The once haughty female bandit with so much wealth in her hands is now just another little slave like you guys loved to torture so much."
Alex laughed manically. He was already off the deep end when it came to his morals so why not go all the way? After this trip, his mentality had changed tremendously from the wimp he once was and he was slowly forgetting the kinds of things that made him an earthling.
It may not happen right away, but he was sure to get used to this world and become comfortable with things like theft, r*pe, kidnapping, murder, and many more diabolical things that were generally illegal on earth.
She glared at him again from below but her anger wavered as fear was slowly taking over.
"Y-You wouldn't r*pe a woman, would you? Just how despicable can you get?"
She tried to get under his skin... only it backfired.
With a strong grip, Alex grabbed her tied wrists and threw her on her back. Her face paled and tears came out of her eyes as she saw Alex take off his ripped jacket and pull his pants down.
"Please..." She pleaded quietly.
"Your men did this to all the women you captured so what makes this any different? R*ping is just a part of the job description, right? I am a bandit after all~"
