The villain's way to tame the protagonist

"Ms. Meili." Marina seemed to want to confirm again, "It's only been one night and one morning... Did the news spread so quickly?"

"Don't underestimate the sense of smell and sensitivity of the nobles, Miss Marina."

When communicating with Marina, Meili's tone was much gentler: "Believe me, it's not just the shops that have dealings with the nobles of the Red Frost Territory. Maybe you have received more unexpected surprises that you haven't yet known. As for the reason..."

She chuckled again: "Just think of it as Miss Sitana's 'power'."

"What do you mean by just pretend that... I'm the best, okay? Lina Lina! I'll be in the Red Frost Territory soon. No, I'm already famous in the Red Frost Territory!"

Sitana laughed, hugged Marina and rocked her back and forth, rubbing her cheek hard: "Everyone will think highly of me, including you. The days ahead will definitely get better and better!"

"Xi'er, calm down, I think..."

"Maid! Let's go to another store. Since this old man is so kind to me, others should do the same! Lina, we can even save those two hundred gold coins!"

"..." Looking at Sitana's cheerful appearance, Marina, who was about to say something, suddenly fell silent.

She suddenly realized that this was a great opportunity.

Chapter 13: She is in a dilemma

Located in the center of the continent, the Tiantu Mountains, which blocked the empire's advance to the west, are of a despairing height.

Of course, height cannot stop the emperor's ambition to dominate the world. What really makes the empire feel difficult is the strongest creature in the world - the dragon clan - who have lived in the Tiantu Mountains for a long time.

The arrogant and powerful dragons hated the Empire's prying eyes, and were also afraid of the great king who sat high on the throne. Therefore, the Empire's outposts near the Tiantu Mountains retreated again and again after being destroyed repeatedly. This record was enough to prove the power of the dragons, because apart from them, no one could actively attack the Empire without being completely destroyed - even the sea creatures of the Lost Sea had been brutally slaughtered by the Emperor for overturning the Empire's fleet.

However, in this mountain range that reaches into the sky, in this holy place where a group of legendary creatures that can conquer the sky live, an uninvited guest... has arrived.

"Humph, a dragon...it turns out to be just a stronger beast."

The voice of a mature woman has a hot and seductive timbre, but the extremely strong self-will and arrogant self-confidence in that voice make it difficult for people to focus on its timbre. Instead, they are conquered by the pure domineering aura.

"Ouch!!!"

boom--!

At the top of the main peak of the Tiantu Mountains, the Arling Peak, the roar of the dragon was drowned out by a louder roar. Amid the flying rubble and stirred up dust, a tall figure gradually emerged.

"Shut up, it's so noisy!"

There was another deafening roar, but this time there was no roar.

As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, the true face of the madman standing in this forbidden place of the world finally revealed.

She was wearing a light grey cape, the open robe fluttering in the wind. The dark black armor beneath the coat clung to her skin, completely covering her two perfectly round breasts, revealing her narrow waistline.

The lower body forms a sharp contrast with the tight upper body. The black tight shorts that are only halfway to the thigh outline a peach-shaped curve that is slightly wider than the shoulders and is more eye-catching and hot than the two lumps on the chest.

This curve looks even more exaggerated against the backdrop of the woman's tight waistline. Her toned and plump legs look extremely slender because of her eight-head body proportions. Her muscle lines make every woman jealous and admire her. She is so beautiful that there is no flaw in it.

The woman looked down at the dragon whose head she had stepped on and buried in the rocks, and sneered, "Even if it's a little stronger, it's only a little bit stronger."

She raised her head, her beautiful snow-white short hair dancing wildly in the wind. Her face, which had lost the immature look of her girlhood, became even more charming and attractive. Her facial features were very three-dimensional, the kind of extremely perfect portrait that could only be created by a master sculptor who had exhausted his aesthetic imagination.

But just as no matter how mature and attractive her voice is, the domineering and self-confidence contained in her voice is enough to wipe out all improper thoughts, the high-spirited look and the arrogant eyes on the woman's face are enough to make ordinary people stay away from her beauty.

She is Xitana Lanthmalos, but she is not an unknown hunter from a border village in the Red Frost Territory.

——She is the most talented warrior in the history of the entire continent, a Valkyrie who single-handedly defeated the Empire's magic army, and an unparalleled strong man who could fight the emperor and escape unscathed!

"What a disappointment."

The woman looked up at the sky. "Is that all? It's a miracle that your clan wasn't exterminated by the emperor."

Just as he finished his words, a huge black shadow that was about to cover the entire sun rose into the sky!

The incessant gale at the top of the Alling Peak also succumbed to the wind waves raised by the vibrating wings of the black shadow. The black shadow hung high in the sky, and its huge molten gold eyes were even hotter and brighter than the sun!

"Hahahahahaha, that's more like it!"

The woman stepped on the ground, and the extremely solid peak suddenly collapsed in an instant, and her figure soared into the sky, carrying with it the violent force that could shatter mountains and rivers, and crashed straight into the black shadow that covered the sky and the sun.

"To be able to hold out against the Empire for so long, there must be a powerful boss!"

"Come! Fight with me! Dragon King!"

Under the woman's wild and wanton laughter——

Anser woke up from a light sleep.

"..."

Anser touched his forehead and chuckled.

"Oh, the Sky Wolf Emperor."

In the destined future that he saw, the battle in his dream was a legendary battle that established the name of Hitana.

She fought with the Dragon King Odruan Kassache at the top of the Alling Peak for three days and three nights. Her strength was recognized by the Dragon King, and she gained the friendship of the dragon clan and the most powerful weight to destroy the empire. She was then revered as the Sky Wolf Emperor and became one of the most respected and powerful people on the continent.

"But that will not be your future, dear Miss Sitana."

Anser got up from the bed, washed and changed his clothes leisurely, and stood in front of the floor-length mirror to do some simple grooming.

Young Hydra looked at himself in the mirror and whispered happily:

"Because I have something better for you."

*

Hitana was extremely satisfied after returning with a full load. On this trip, she got a longbow, two hunting knives, two clothes, four sets of jewelry, six kinds of gourmet food, eight bottles of wine... and a bunch of miscellaneous things for free. She was so happy.

"Oh, it's inconvenient to take so many things back."

The girl wiped the hunting knife in her arms happily: "When we get back, Mom and Dad will be shocked!"

"...Xier." Marina, who was sitting next to her, took a deep breath, "I have something to tell you."

"Just say it, why are you so serious?" Shitana tilted her head and looked at her.

Marina looked directly into her sister's eyes and said seriously, "I hope you will continue to serve His Excellency Hydra."

"……what?"

Xitana rubbed her ears: "Did I hear it right? Lina, what did you say?"

"Xi'er, you can't waste such an opportunity." Marina's tone became more serious. "I don't agree. Father and mother won't agree to you leaving like this."

"What?" Xitana yelled in grievance, "Why don't you consider me? I don't want to follow him at all!"

"It's because of you that I'm thinking about it..." Marina raised her voice a little angrily, but looking at her sister's expression, she softened her heart helplessly. She sighed and said to Sitana in the softest tone possible:

"Xi'er, have you ever thought about why those merchants and nobles are so flattering to you?"

"Of course it's because I'm awesome." Sitana answered without thinking.

"Because... there is indeed this part, but don't you think that this has a lot to do with Master Hydra?"

Marina tried to make her tone as gentle as possible.

"What does it have to do with him? He is the one who caused the trouble." Xitana looked surprised, "Lina, what do you want to tell me?"

"I... I mean..."

Marina hesitated for a moment and said, "Because of Lord Hydra, you have this...opportunity."

"……Chance?"

The girl touched her sister's head and said, "Because of Lord Hydra, you can be exposed to a wider world."

"Think about it carefully, Xier. If you were just a hunter in the village, no one would know you. If you had been studying in the Sky Frost Tower and not been expelled, you might be able to find a good job in the Red Frost Territory."

“But that’s about it.”

Marina placed her hand on Xitana's and said softly and earnestly, "You have the talent to make the North and even the Empire remember your name, but it is too difficult for you to encounter such an opportunity. Your personality... makes it easy for you to be hidden and buried."

"And Lord Hydra is that opportunity, an opportunity that you must not miss. Imagine, Xier, just something that happened at a banquet can make you enter the vision of the nobles of the Red Frost Territory and make those merchants respect you so much. If you work with Lord Hydra, what heights can you reach in the future?"

"..."

Shitana opened her mouth, and a look of confusion appeared on her face.

Compared to the things she got for free, the two hundred gold coins given by Anther were just a drop in the bucket - although in Hitana's opinion this was entirely her own ability, she could not deny that without Anther, there would be no such opportunity.

If this happens a few more times, won't Shetana's name spread all over the North? That Hydra... seems to really have this ability.

"But I..." Miss Sitana was still struggling with the idea, "I really can't get along with him, Lina, I don't know why... Anyway, I just hate him, I hate him very much, and I can't do a good job as a guard at all."

"What does it matter? Will His Excellency Hydra let you be his guard? Someone like him will definitely put you in the right position."

Seeing that her persuasion was effective, Marina breathed a sigh of relief, and then struck while the iron was hot: "If Xier, you continue to work with His Excellency Hydra, then the one who will benefit may not only be you, but also me, my father and mother, and even the whole village will be better off!"

"Hmmmm--"

Hit in the heart, Sitana bit her nails. Marina's words undoubtedly hit the softest part of this wild girl's heart. She frowned and stammered, "But, but he doesn't seem to need me anymore. I also, and that..."

"Let's go and ask him, let's ask His Excellency Hydra with the most sincere attitude."

Marina stood up and stretched out her hand to Xitana: "If Lord Hydra refuses, then we will go home, but once he accepts... Xier, promise me that no matter how he tests you next, you will not let him down, understand?"

"...Okay, I'll listen to you this time, Lina." Xitana said sullenly and handed over her hand.

At this moment, Hitana didn't know whether she should be happy or sad. On the one hand, she believed that Hydra would never accept her, and she was happy that the other party would not accept her; on the other hand... under Marina's persuasion, she also realized that if she left Hydra like this, she would indeed suffer a great loss.

So, Hitana was dragged by Marina and ran all the way to find Hydra. Finally, under the guidance of a new musician named Yura, she found Anser who was playing chess with Savier in the courtyard.

"Good morning, ladies."

Anser smiled and said hello: "Are you ready to leave?"

"...No, Lord Hydra." Marina, holding Xitana's hand, bowed deeply to Anther, and at the same time pulled Xitana, making the latter bend down reluctantly.

"Please forgive our shamelessness, but I still have something to ask of you - no, it's Xitana who has something to ask of you."

"..." After being pulled hard twice, Xitana was silent for a while, and then tried her best to make her tone less aggressive, but she was extremely uncomfortable and said stumblingly:

"Um, Hydra... Your Excellency, can I, uh... continue to follow you?"

Xavier lowered his eyes and said nothing, while Anser held his chin and looked at the two snow-haired girls, chuckling softly.

"Let's talk in my study, Sitana."

"No? All right, then--ah?"

Hitana, who subconsciously thought that Ansel was going to refuse, only reacted halfway through her words. She raised her head in great surprise and met those sea-blue eyes.

Then, the unacceptable chill enveloped her whole body again. Shitana almost instinctively wanted to step back, but at this moment... she felt Marina's hopeful eyes.

"……okay, I get it."

Sitana bit her lip.

For some reason, she always felt that... she would deeply regret her choice at this moment.

Chapter 14: My Sermons

In the clean and tidy study room with almost no unnecessary decoration except for the huge collection of books, Ansel, who was sitting behind the desk, was looking at the anxious girl in front of him, trying his best to hide the joy in his eyes.

He could feel the restlessness in Xitana, and could feel that she wanted to turn around and leave countless times while following him to the study, but she didn't, and Anser knew she wouldn't.

He had been preparing for this for so long, melting all the confusion, powerlessness, resentment, and rage of his childhood into a power that belonged only to Ansir Hydra.

Now, it's time to start the first and most memorable...training.

"Ms. Sitana."

Anser took a sip of the light golden wine in the glass and said gently, "Are you sure you want to serve me again?"

"..."

Hitana lowered her head and remained silent.

The young noble twitched his lips, hiding his joy in a brisk tone: "Judging from your attitude, you probably don't want to--"

"……Yes."

"Hmm? Did you just say something, Ms. Sitana?"

"I said... yes!"

Xitana raised her voice, her neck turning slightly red due to the upwelling blood. She raised her head and glared at Anser: "I want to continue to serve you, okay!"

"Please look at yourself, Miss Sitana."
