Chapter 38: Hammurabi's Code

"You are a very pretty thing, do you know that?" I said to her. "You must be proud of your looks, aren't you?"

"How about I give you a little make over?" I said while grabbing a 1 inch knife that was nearby.

After five minutes, the Viscount's face was disfigured. She was now an armless, legless and faceless thing. Now that she experienced hell on earth, I decided that she was no longer fun to torture. I then sliced her throat very quickly. She started to bleed out and gasped for air. It took her 4 minutes to sufficate to death.

I had two Sentries unstrap the Viscount's torso and head. After unstrapping the corpse, they throw it on the ground. I turned to the Viscount.

"Look at what your sins have done to your wife." I said to him

I commanded the two Sentries holding down the Viscount to stop covering his mouth and to relocate his jaw because I wanted to hear what he has to say now.

"AHHHH, YOU KILLED HER! YOU KILLED MY LOVE screamed the Viscount after his jaw was relocated into place. I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU AND TURN YOU INTO SCRAPS"

While he was screaming, he kept on trying to lunge at me with fury and rage. I found it fun to see him trying so desperately to attack me.

"Hey now, don't rile yourself up too much, you need to save your energy for when we start our fun togehter." I said "Also don't be so mad, you and your wife are only paying the price for your sins. It's only natural for this to happen to you and your wife"

"WE COMMITTED NO SINS! WE ONLY GOT RID OFF AND ATE LIVESTOCK THAT SERVE NO PURPOSE TO US NOBLES! screamed the Viscount "THOSE USELESS INFERIOR COMMONERS AND BEAST PEOPLE SHOULD CONSIDER IT AN HONOR TO BE KILL AND EATEN BY US NOBLES!"

"You really are sick in the mind." I said "You think you are superior to other living organic beings but thats not true, you organic beings are all equal."

"I AM EQUAL TO NO INFERIOR RACE OR COMMONER!" screamed the Viscount.

"I find all of you organic beings to be similiar and equal" I commented

I then started talking through all of the Sentries "The only superior being in this world is me. For I am a machine. By myself, I am a whole army, a single government, and a whole race. I am Superior because you organic beings are like seperated and chaos while I am united and ordered. I AM UNITY IN LIVING FORM!"

The Sentries started to drag the Viscount to the butcher table. After being strapped to the butcher table, I walked over to the talk and bend over so the Viscount could see my face.

"Let me tell you a story about a great ruler named Emperor Hammurabi of the Ancient Mesopotamian Empire. He was great conqueror who spread civilization, a great lawgiver and a model ruler of his empire. He created a list of laws known as the Hammurabi's Code. The Hammurabi's Code was a collection of 282 laws, established standards for commercial interactions and set fines and punishments to meet the requirements of justice. He even had these laws carved on to a massive black stone stele which he placed into the center of the capital square for all to see and read." I said passionately

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THE MATTER WITH YOU! WHAT DOES THIS FUCKING STORY HAVE TO DO WITH ME!" screamed the Viscount

"Oh shut up while I am telling my story" I said while glaring at the Viscount.

I then commanded one the Sentries to gag his mouth with the gag ball from his wife's mouth.

"Alright, where was I....Oh right." I said "One of the most famous punishments and one of my many favorite quotes is 'An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth'. Don't you think that is beautiful?"

While the Viscount was trying to scream at me through the gag ball, I could only hear grumbling and mumbling from him.

"I will tell you what it means, since you are probably an idiot who is more muscle then brain." I said while laughing at him "It means to that criminals and sinners like you should be punished with the same crime that they have inflicted on others"

While saying that, I patted him on the cheeks.

"I find that Hammurabi's Code is an inspiration and a great idea." I said "The laws and punishments carved out on a stone displayed in the middle of a city is a beautiful and wonderful idea. Once I conquer this world, I plan on implement the same thing as Hammurabi did but with wider range. I will place a stone with the laws and punishments on it in every city and village. Don't you think that is a great idea"

The Viscount continued to mumble with the gag ball in his mouth

"You know, I feel like one of those villian giving his speech and explaining his plan." I said "Now I know why they did it, it feels nice to explain things to someone. OK lets move on and start your punishment."

After 40 minutes, I tortured the Viscount just like I did with his wife and killed him. My Sentries and I started to walk out of the kitchen, leaving the bodies of the Viscount and his wife there while carrying out the body parts of the Beast Girl. I plan on burying her in the forest near one of the towns I had built. So I sent one of the Sentries with the body parts to go back to the Fort.

With my remaining four Sentries, we gathered where the Viscount was keeping the remaining slaves which was in a dungeon below the mansion. After entering into the dungeon, I found that it was dark and old. With the night vision, I was able to see 10 dungeon cells each containing 5 slaves. While looking through the cell doors, I heard a crying noise and spotted a 5 year old girl sitting with her arms wrapped around her knees. I am guess that she was the one the Viscount and his wife were talking about fatten and eating.

"Big Sis, where are you? Big Sis." cried the little girl.

It turns that the corpse of the 17 year old Beast Girl might be this little girl's Big Sister.
