Anser, who was sitting on the sofa, put his fingers together on his raised legs, and looked at the two weak and helpless girls with gentle and courteous eyes.

"Are you resting well?"

Marina, who was guarded by Sitana, said softly: "Thanks to Your Excellency Hydera for your kindness, we—"

"not good at all!"

Sitana interrupted Marina, and the dark red eyes under the thin bangs carried a ferocity that did not match her age and appearance: "Does anyone like to be imprisoned!"

Saville, who was standing by with downcast eyes, frowned slightly, but did not speak, while Marina tugged Sitana's sleeve in a panic. While secretly looking at Anser, she was too timid to say anything. .

"Imprisonment..." Anser chewed on the offensive word, and couldn't help chuckling, "Do you think that is imprisonment, Miss Sitana?"

"Isn't that right?!"

Sitana's eyes widened. To be honest, her appearance at this moment was actually quite cute, but coupled with her arrogant and thoughtless expression and tone, she was completely unlikable.

The stupid girl who didn't seem to understand her situation at all yelled loudly: "You don't let us move around, don't let us communicate with the outside world, and keep us in a room all the time! Isn't this a prison or something, your prank! Our Is the noble young master still at the age where he likes to play pranks?"

——While yelling like this, our future hero doesn't seem to think about what she would have experienced at the hands of the notorious Earl of Scarlet Frost if she hadn't been sent to Anser.

"...Master." Savile, who lowered his head slightly, couldn't help but make a sound.

Anser, who was rubbing the center of his eyebrows, sighed and waved his hand.

"Palm mouth."

Snapped--!

The crisp and loud voice echoed in the living room.

Sitana stood there dumbfounded, the burning pain on her face made her realize what happened two seconds later.

Although no one had moved in the living room, the red marks on Xuenen's face said everything.

The resentment surging in her heart was ignited by fury at this moment, she glared at Anser like a mad wolf, and the poor and stupid cub roared: "You really—"

"Continue." Anser, resting his chin on one hand, drooped his eyelids.

Snapped--!

"you!"

Snapped--!

"..."

Snapped--!

It wasn't until Sitana's cheeks on both sides were puffed up, and until she didn't dare to stare at herself with that kind of resentful eyes anymore, that the young nobleman on the sofa raised his hand to signal his butler to stop.

"Miss Sitana."

At this moment, it was Marina who was protecting Sitana behind her. Although she didn't have the courage to speak out and beg Anser to stop, her instinct still made her do this meaningless thing.

Anser, who was chanting Sitana's name, stood up, walked in front of the sisters, and pushed away Marina's trembling and weak arms without any effort.

He met the girl's eyes filled with tears. Probably not many people in this world could resist Marina's pleading eyes at this moment, and no matter how fierce the nobleman was, he would probably bypass Sitana for a while.

But Ancer is an exception.

It wasn't that Marina couldn't impress him, but that he wasn't angry at all.

He has read memory books for more than ten years, and he has no sense of agreement with most noble principles. To him, Sitana's "offense" is no different from the barking of wild dogs on the street—even for the current imperial nobles. Said that it is not surprising that Sitana was executed on the spot.

And the reason why he still did this was naturally because of punishing Xitana... It was absolutely necessary in Anser's rational planning.

"Miss Sitana." Anser said Sitana's name again. After easily pushing away Marlena, he raised Sitana's chin and looked down at the swollen face with interest. beautiful face.

At this moment, Xitana turned her eyes away and did not meet Anser's eyes.

"You said I imprisoned you, um... imprisoned."

Anser laughed. If it was another occasion, Marina, who was watching Anser, might be lost in his smile, but the weak girl was just praying at this moment, that this Lord Hydera was really as merciful as the recent rumors kindness.

"But in this captivity, what did I give you? I gave you a room filled with incense, two warm beds, plenty of clean water, rich and delicious food, and a maid to serve you in the bath. Two sets of brand new clothes were provided, and although they were not expensive, I feel that I should give you all the respect they deserve."

Anser caressed Hitana's swollen cheeks compassionately, and when he heard the girl's gasping in pain, he felt sadistic pleasure in his heart, but he was immediately suppressed by him with extreme vigilance.

After taking a second to adjust his mentality, he whispered again: "And then? In this kind of captivity, did I do anything?"

"Did I spy on your peaceful sleep, or eavesdrop on your whispers? Did I do something wrong, or did I do something blasphemy?"

The handsome young noble withdrew his hand and sighed sadly:

"I thought you'd see it as settlement."

"Why on earth, Miss Sitana, what on earth is it that makes you so disrespectful to me?"

"Hai, Lord Hydera."

Marina summoned up all her courage and touched Anser's sleeve with trembling fingertips: "Xieer, she's just...just too irritable and too sensitive, we don't disrespect you, I really... I really appreciate you! Thank you for willing to protect us!"

Marina didn't lie, compared to her younger sister who was destined to become a hero in the future, but had a huge personality flaw before becoming a hero, in the trajectory Anser saw, she was a very perfect, perfect enough to make people feel a little Unreal woman.

Anser took Marina's fingers, just fingers, just the first knuckles, without taking a more offensive step.

At this moment, Marina felt an indescribably strange coldness, but she was quickly ignored by her fear and panic, and replaced by the warmth from her fingertips, which she had never experienced before.

"I know, Miss Marina." Anser smiled at her first, then looked at Sitana again:

"But you can't say that on Sitana's behalf."

Anser's words made Marina see the dawn that made her almost cry in the endless darkness. The girl immediately held her sister's hand tightly and shouted in a voice trembling with surprise: "Seele, Seele, hurry to Hyde!" Your Excellency, I apologize!"

"..."

Sitana Lancemallos didn't speak, but Anser raised his eyebrows slightly, because he felt the breath emanating from the girl in front of him—a brutal, ferocious breath that grinds teeth and sucks blood.

"Xier...Xier?" Seeing that Hitana didn't speak, Malina's heart immediately clenched, she bit her lips tightly, and begged in an extremely humble, almost kneeling tone, "Please... ...Quickly apologize to Your Excellency Hydera... Xier..."

Anser wasn't impatient at all, but the hand holding Marina's finger had quietly covered most of her palm.

"...Yes, sorry."

After an unknown amount of time, Anser heard a nearly hoarse sound from the cub's throat.

"Hai, Your Excellency Hydera, I'm rude to...my, woo..., and I apologize to you... woo..."

The girl whose cheeks were so swollen that she had never shed a single tear was sobbing non-stop.

Anser responded gently: "Then, I accept your apology. Saville, let the maid bring a box of ointment."

Hearing Anser's words, Marina went limp on the spot and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Anser, who had already held her whole hand, pulled her up very lightly.

"Am I so scary, Miss Marina?" The handsome blond boy smiled and tilted his head.

Staring at those sea-blue pupils, Marina's heartbeat began to accelerate uncontrollably, and she felt a little weak in her hands and feet... She didn't know whether it was weak or light.

Only then did she realize that her hand had been held by Anser for a long time.

"No, no... nothing."

The pitiful girl with long snow-colored hair withdrew her hand in confusion, turned her head involuntarily, and murmured softly: "Your Excellency Hydera is... a very gentle person."

She shrank her neck slightly so that no one could see her red earlobes and cheeks.

And all of this, Miss Sitana, who was deeply engulfed in hatred for her own weakness, remorse for her recklessness, and hatred for Anser, knew nothing.

Chapter 6. Powerless like her

Afterwards, Anser didn't say much to the Lance sisters, but simply shared his desserts and snacks with them, and let them go back after Marina put the ointment on Sitana.

After all, Sitana's current state is not suitable for talking, and Anser's goal has been achieved.

Seeing the leisurely appearance of his young master, Saville also felt happy from the bottom of his heart. As the only two of Anser's father's eight indentured heads, he grew up with Anser, and the only person who has accompanied him to this day. Saville has no relatives. Will probably valued Anser more than Anser's father.

“看起来您外<群*&5$$1=7|*8#8=>0*7|~6=>1&

You have harvested the fruit you need, master. "

"Hmm, Saville, you cooperated well." Anser shook the wine glass in his hand and couldn't help laughing, "It's because you understand me so lightly."

"Those two girls are of great value just from their appearance. The young master must have deep meaning in keeping them."

Anser, who took a sip of the scarlet wine, turned his head slightly to look at Saville: "It's just appearance?"

Saville hesitated for a moment, and then replied in a deep voice: "Eldest sister has no extra value, but that Xitana..."

"Although I don't think it's possible, at the last moment, she seemed to have caught my movement for a moment, although it was only for a moment."

"You're not old enough to have delusions, Savile." Anser laughed heartily, "Since you've said that, it's true."

——Capturing the trajectory of Savile, anyone who knows the power of Savile will be puzzled or even horrified.

Anser, who raised his wine glass, looked up at the scarlet liquid in the glass, and sighed in a voice only he could hear: "This is...the main character."

"Then, her value is very precious." Saville said without hesitation, "This is enough to become a pact..."

Speaking of this, the old man paused slightly, and then suddenly realized: "It turns out that she is your candidate, although she is a bit wild and... stupid, but with the young master's method, she should be able to be trained within three days. "

"Three days?" Anser laughed dumbly, "That's too short, you are more confident than me, Savile."

Saville's expression was serious, without any intention of joking: "Her sister, you should be able to solve it tonight, can't you?"

"Well...that's different, there is an essential gap between the two."

He didn't deny that Marina could be dealt with tonight—although he wouldn't do it either.

After all, in Anser's plan, this dear Miss Marina is more important than anything else.

The young Hydera drank the wine in one gulp, staring at the fireplace, looking for a new future in the fire.

"That bastard, bad bastard, bastard!"

Sitana in the room hammered the bed board angrily, and Marina, who was busy with something, immediately panicked and said: "You can't say that about Your Excellency Hydera, didn't you hear everyone's cheers? Your Excellency Hydera must be Good man!"

"Ha, are there still few nobles who lie to us?"

The ointment brought by Anser is of course amazingly effective. Xitana's face has returned to its original state, white and tender, and there is no trace of being beaten, but the girl with such a beautiful and lovely face spits out very vulgar words: " From magistrates to tax collectors, from small lords to great lords, one counts as another, it’s all shit! It’s all shit! The empire is the same!”

"Sitana!"

The terrified Marina suddenly raised her voice: "Do you know what you are talking about!"

"..." Xitana, who knew she had made a slip of the tongue, didn't speak any more, but curled her lips.

Marina had a panoramic view of her expression, so she could only temporarily stop what she was doing, walked to her side and sat down with small steps.

"... Xier, I know these days are not easy for you."

The girl caressed her younger sister's soft and smooth short hair, and gently hugged her into her arms: "Not only these days, but you have been living a very difficult life since you were a child."

Xitana, who was leaning on Marina's shoulder, softened her heart. She hugged her sister and murmured in a low voice, "That's not the case. I'm still very happy living with my parents and Linna."

Marina smiled and pulled her cheeks: "How can I not know what you are thinking? You are a gifted child, and my parents and I are very guilty of letting you endure those incompetent people. "

"But...but it's different now, Seele."

The girl held Sitana's hand, and a light called hope shone in her eyes.

"We... no, you have a chance, you have a chance to change all this."

"...Opportunity, what opportunity?" Sitana looked at her sister wonderingly.

"Your Excellency Hydera."

Marina seriously said the name of the guy that Sitana hated so much.

"Him?!" The wolf-like girl screamed, and then cursed, "What kind of chance is he, that damn sissy, psychopath, crazy..."

"Sitana!"

As soon as she heard the anger in her sister's voice, Xitana could only shut her mouth helplessly.

"Listen, Sitana, His Majesty Hydera is a big shot." Marina held her sister's shoulder very solemnly, "We have to rack our brains to deal with sheriffs and tax officials, but they are very important to ordinary lords." Even lower than Snowflake, but the little lords have to bow their knees to Earl Chishuang, the owner of the Scarlet Frost Territory, and Earl Chishuang..."

Her words paused, and there was a little reverence in her tone that she didn't realize.

"To Lord Hydera, the Earl of Scarlet Frost is just a low-level character who can be easily executed with a meal - he is such a big man that we can't even imagine."

The hands on Hitana's shoulders became heavier again, and Marina stared into Hitana's eyes: "The most important thing is that his kindness may be fake, his kindness may be fake, his gentleness may be It's fake, but he... must be a smart person, a powerful person, and someone who can see your value."

Marina has seen too many people.
