The villain's way of taming the protagonist

The girl with an indifferent expression nodded, as if she had nothing to say, but she didn't leave.

But just standing there, staring at Sitana, as if saying... You should have something to say.

You didn't ask the questions you should have asked.

In this increasingly unbearable silence, Hitana pulled the corner of her mouth very reluctantly: "Linna, do you have anything else to say to me? If not, I want to rest."

Then, Sitana saw disappointment in Marina's eyes.

Yes, disappointed.

Sitana couldn't comprehend the...disappointment that made her panic even more.

"Sitana, I thought what happened that day was enough to make you grow up."

Marina took a step back, and said lightly: "In the end, you didn't even have the courage to face it. I was overthinking it. Let's have a good rest."

She turned and was about to leave the room.

"and many more!"

Sitana struggled to get out of bed, endured the severe pain and asked loudly: "What do you mean! What does it mean to make me grow up...Marlena, what do you want to say! You..."

She gritted her teeth, restrained the panic in her heart, and made her voice as serious as possible:

"At that time... since you already knew what would happen at that time, why didn't you stop me?"

After finally waiting for this question, Marina turned around and looked at Sitana.

Those eyes with the same pupil color as his own, those gentle and kind eyes that he had seen countless times, at this moment, there was only alienation and indifference that made Sitana feel strange and afraid.

"I already told you the answer, Sitana."

Her tone remained unchanged: "For your sake, grow up."

"..."

Xitana's body began to tremble, her lips opened and closed, and when she got out of bed, due to emotional and physical problems, she accidentally fell to the ground, very embarrassed and miserable.

"my growth."

Such a trembling and murmuring girl climbed up with great difficulty and walked towards her sister step by step.

"You said, my...growth?"

"Make you realize your own stupidity, your own mistakes, your own arrogance, and at the same time, let you recognize the cruelty of this world."

Marina said without any hesitation: "You should have a deep understanding of these things."

Of course, Sitana has a deep understanding of everything Marina said.

Not only herself, but also those civilians she once regarded as the same kind, their reactions, their changes, everything they showed...all of which made Sitana fall into deep confusion and self-doubt.

but……

But, is this the reason why Marina didn't remind or make changes, so that people who could have survived died so tragically?

Just for the so-called... let her grow?

"Marlena!!!"

Pure rage rose from the dark and deep despair in his heart.

Sitana snarled, and ran towards Marina stumblingly, her eyes gradually filled with tears.

"My growth... you just for this kind of thing, for this kind of thing... watching so many people die!"

When she came in front of Marina, she punched her sister directly on the side of the face. Marina staggered and took two steps back. Bruises appeared on her delicate cheeks, but her expression remained unwavering. .

"if not?"

She looked at Xitana who was grabbing her collar and was about to punch again, and said expressionlessly:

"Wait until you become stronger, wait until you become more trusted by Mr. Anser, wait until your destructive power is enough to affect a wider land, more innocent people... wait until you are in that situation, break down After making a mistake that is even more irreparable, ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times more cruel than it is now, I will beg you on my knees with tears in my eyes, don't you stop doing your own thing?"

Sitana's fist, which was about to hit Marina's face, trembled instantly.

"I did it, Hitana." Marina made Hitana's whole body twitch, and said in a tone that didn't matter:

"I've done it, I've done it many times, and it didn't work."

"If that worked, you wouldn't be so angry today, and you wouldn't blame me for your mistakes."

"If that works, nothing will happen. You will be Mr. Anser's most trusted subordinate, and you will share the glory with him three days ago."

The sister's words, those ruthless, cold, and extremely cruel words, repeatedly cut Sitana's heart after completing the redemption.

The girl looked at the strange person in front of her, listened to her strange words, looked at her strange expression, and felt that a large piece of her heart had been ruthlessly gouged out.

"It shouldn't be like this."

Xitana let go of her hand with tears streaming down her face, and fell to the ground powerlessly: "Marlena...why did you become like this, why did I...why didn't I know you anymore."

How could her sister treat the lives of so many people as nothing, just to... let her achieve so-called growth?

How could it all be worth it?How could such a cruel and ruthless thing be done by her gentle and always tolerant sister?

"..."

Marina was silent for a long time, and finally nodded and said: "Then, that's it."

Amid Sitana's growing uneasiness and panic, Marina said.

"Then, just pretend you don't know me anymore."

"If it makes you grow up."

Without the slightest nostalgia, she turned and left.

boom!

Amidst the sound of the door being closed, Sitana's trembling hand just lifted up.

"Ugh...ah..."

She no longer has the ability to cry.

The girl just opened her mouth, in such despair, she couldn't even cry.

Her sister, don't want her anymore.

She lost the most important person in her life.

"Don't...don't..."

Hitana, who was riddled with holes in her heart, struggled frantically to get up, slammed open the door, and then fell to the ground again.

There seemed to be no one in the mansion but her alone.

She scratched the floor, tried her best to support her body again, and staggered up the stairs. The light in her eyes was so dim that it might go out at any moment.

No...not nothing.

And... And Anser, I still have Anser... He treats me... the best.

"Anser... Anser! Anser... where are you!"

Xitana, who was almost lying on the handrail, climbed the stairs with difficulty, and shouted helplessly and hoarsely: "Anser... Anser, don't leave me, you said..."

You said you would... always answer me.

So, as if he really responded to Hitana's begging, the brilliant figure that had been imprinted in Hitana's heart appeared at the highest point of the steps.

"Anser, Anser!"

Ecstasy welled up in Xitana's heart, and this ecstasy and hope even completely washed away her despair just now. She almost climbed up the stairs with hands and feet, like a believer who was about to ascend to heaven and be redeemed.

"Anser!"

The exhausted and scarred wolf threw himself into Anser's arms, sobbing nonstop.

It seemed that in his arms, he finally regained the ability to cry.

Anser, who appeared in such a timely manner, put one hand around her waist, and stroked her head with the other:

"What's wrong, Sitana?"

"Woooooo... Linna hates me, Linna doesn't want me anymore."

The girl wept helplessly, and she could only repeat: "She doesn't want me...she doesn't want me..."

"How could it be?" Anser comforted her, "Marlena won't want you, and neither will I."

These words reassured Hitana instantly. She was sobbing, but she responded softly: "I, I know... Anser can't want me."

"I... I know I was wrong, it's all my fault, Anser, stop saying it's your fault, it has nothing to do with you."

She arched Anser's stomach as hard as a puppy, the monster who could fight the emperor in a dream, and could overturn the earth with his fists, tried everything at this moment, trying to show his value and significance in Anser's eyes. In order to tell Anser and herself that she will not be abandoned.

"Anser won't be hated by others, it doesn't matter if I'm hated... from now on, I won't make my own decisions anymore, I will do whatever Anser asks me to do, and I won't think about anything else , Anser is always the best and the right one!"

She was clumsy and anxious, as if she was afraid of suffering from the pain Marina gave her again, so eager to show her "growth".

"I will never cause trouble for Anser, so... so Anser will definitely not abandon me, right?"

"Well." Anser responded with a smile, "Of course, even if Sitana is not like this, no matter how many troubles Sitana makes, I will still keep you by my side."

This promise made Xitana completely relieved. She stopped crying, and the wolf who had found her home and relied on let go of everything, and snuggled into Anser's arms wholeheartedly, enjoying the peace that the promise brought her.

But in this hope.

In this way, she can be free from all pain, all sorrow, all hopeless peace.

Anser Hydra, the devil from the abyss bent down and whispered in Sitana's ear.

"But you may not."

"……Eh?"

The boy hugged the girl who was already standing on the edge of the cliff, and took her into his arms, but it was not for saving.

But to personally send her... into the abyss of eternal doom.

He closed his eyes and said to Sitana, who was as stiff as a corpse, "You know I won't lie to you, don't you, Sitana?"

"Now, it's time for you to ask me a question."

"ask me."

Anser held Sitana's face in his hands, pinched the corners of her eyes tightly, and stretched her eyelids, forcing the more frightened and desperate girl to look at him.

"Don't..." Hitana murmured, trembling, "Don't...Anser...don't..."

And the devil didn't show any sympathy at this moment.

"Sitana, ask me that question."

"no no!"

"Ask me why—"

"I don't want to! I don't want to ask! Please, Anser... Please, stop talking, I will listen to you, I will listen to everything...don't tell me...don't tell me !"

"Why, I didn't stop you

do that? "

Xitana knelt down on the ground, this once proud, savage, arrogant and self-willed girl, who was destined to despise the world in the future, the Heavenly Wolf Emperor who did absolutely domineering things, knelt on the ground, with a gesture so humble that she was in the dust. begging:

"Don't say it...Anser, please don't say it...It's okay...I've grown up, I won't make mistakes again...I..."

"Why, at that moment, did the ring on your finger suddenly go out of control?"

"An...se..."

"Why did the crowd riot so quickly, why didn't the city defense army show up, and why was your conversation with Earl Hardstone recorded?"

"..."

"Why did he have the courage to try to ruin my reputation? Why did everything that happened three days ago... have so many unreasonable things?"

Sitana sat slumped there like a puppet, her arms drooping, her head tilted to one side, her eyes blank.

She seemed to be forcing herself to give up all thinking.

Anser squatted down, put his hands on Xitana's shoulders, and said softly:
