The villain's way to tame the protagonist

But what she didn't expect was that the gentleman, whose face suddenly turned extremely pale, opened his mouth. He looked at Xitana, who had her arms folded across her chest and a calm face, letting the blood flow. After being unable to speak for several times, he finally said in a dry and difficult voice:

"Lance... Miss Lance Malros. That's all. Please forgive me for my slight offense. I was too angry just now and lost control a little..."

"What? What do you mean, just let it be?"

Xitana was stunned: "What do you mean I forgive you?"

"Look... you've apologized, and you've hurt yourself even more cruelly. I don't think there's any reason for me to continue pursuing this—"

Looking at the gentleman with a weak tone and evasive eyes, Xitana understood something in an instant.

"Hydra..."

She murmured, taking a step forward.

"Because... Hydra."

"Ms. Lance Malros?"

"tell me!"

She walked directly to the carriage, dragged the gentleman down from the carriage, grabbed the collar and held him in her hand, and roared: "Is it because of Hydra? You won't hold me accountable! Tell me!"

"No, no! It's because I—"

"Enough!" The furious Hitana let go of the gentleman whose limbs were limp and squeezed out the words from between her teeth.

"It's over. It doesn't end here because of Hydra! There is only the trial that should be carried out!"

"I'm right here and I'm not going anywhere."

She stared coldly at the gentleman who collapsed on the ground, not caring about his desperate look.

"the same as you."

Anser was enjoying lunch to the sound of Yura's melodious music when Xavier suddenly appeared behind him.

The old butler looked a little strange. He bent down and whispered to Anser.

Young Hydra continued to use the knife and fork as he listened to Savile's statement, but as he listened, his movements stopped, and the bright silver knife hung in the air, reflecting the musician's slender waist and soft arms.

“Pfft… hehe… hahahahahaha—”

Anser laughed happily and heartily. His pleasant laughter, which was slightly magnetic and full of youthful timbre, sounded particularly beautiful in harmony with the sound of the piano.

"Should I say, as expected of Sitana?"

Ansel, who was about to laugh to tears, put down his knife and fork, sighed and took a deep breath, shaking his head with a smile on his face.

"No matter how much I consider it, she is a girl who always surprises me."

"What are you going to do? It seems that she will not give up until Miss Sitana is formally arrested."

"Need I ask? Of course I'll follow the rules."

Anser placed the dinner knife in front of his eyes, staring at the reflection on the blade, and chuckled, "She went out without any money, and she probably won't come back tonight. That means she will have to starve and find a place to sleep in the cold wind. I can't bear that."

"If we put him in a cell, wouldn't this problem be solved? Besides..."

"She hasn't received her share of punishment from me yet."

The evil snake's eyes sparkled in the reflection of the table knife.

Chapter 4: The Cold Cell, Part (K)

He was wearing a cloak and a pair of trousers inside. He was wearing a pair of trousers inside.

With her hands shackled, she sat in the corner of the cell with her legs bent, watching the rats crawling around on the bed with an expressionless face.

The burly man in the cell opposite had provoked her with foul language for countless times, and Shitana had also resisted the urge to kick down the cell door and rush out to tear that guy's mouth apart countless times.

It was a well-deserved punishment, nothing to say about it, and the girl had no complaints about it.

In fact, in this kind of accidental injury case, if both parties reached a settlement, there would be no need for Xitana to intervene - but the victim kept begging, even begging for settlement, while the perpetrator kept insisting on judging according to the law.

According to the laws of the Red Frost Territory, the crime of accidental injury can be serious or minor, and is generally punishable by a fine. But as Anser, who knew Hitana very well, said, the girl never brought any money with her when she went out, or rather, the money she received from Anser was all kept with her sister, and she did not have a single copper coin on her.

But Hitana didn't want Marina to know that she was in trouble, so she sentenced her to jail.

What's even more ironic is that because the victim argued and defended the perpetrator, Xitana only had to symbolically serve twelve hours in jail, which was just one night.

The unpleasant smell in the cell made the girl cough twice. It would definitely be a lie to say that she didn't miss the fresh incense and warm bed in her room in Anser Mansion.

Xitana Lancemalos is a very pure person.

She herself didn't know that she and Anser were surprisingly compatible in terms of their personalities - both were honest and true to their own desires.

"Hydra...Hydra..."

Xitana whispered the name that all the noble merchants in the Red Frost Territory were extremely awed by. At this moment, she was not angry, but only confused.

In this terrible and cold environment, Xitana finally had enough time to reflect on what her sister said.

"How could it be... like this?"

The girl buried her face in her knees alone, and the moonlight that came through the square opening at the top of the cell fell on her beautiful and clean snow-white short hair.

Sitana calmly thought about Marina's words, and found with some sadness and helplessness that what her sister said seemed to be absolutely correct.

Even though she racked her brains and thought hard, she couldn't find any truly bad things that Anser did after getting rid of Earl Red Frost.

There are quite a lot for me, such as asking me to take off all my clothes, giving myself electric shocks every day, and playing with me like a doll... mmm!

Miss Wolf Cub gritted her teeth in extreme shame and anger, letting out low whimpering sounds. Her anger was mixed with a few other emotions that she herself couldn't explain.

"Do I hate him so much because he's so mean to me?"

Xitana stared at her toes: "Hydra...if you were nicer to me, I wouldn't--"

The moment this thought came to her mind, Hitana's brows furrowed almost instinctively.

“…No, that’s not the case.”

The hatred that had been suppressed because of the current calmness and tranquility suddenly surged in her heart, completely washing away the thought with some strange emotions.

"He is a liar... He is using deviant means to deceive everyone, including my sister."

She murmured to herself, "How can the result achieved by despicable means be good?"

"Yeah... He could have used a more normal and legitimate method, so why did he choose to lie?"

Sitana, who gradually understood something in her heart, suddenly looked up and clenched her fists as if she had expected everything: "Hydra, Hydra must be hiding a dangerous and vicious secret that cannot be revealed! Everyone has been deceived! Only I know... Only I have the opportunity and ability to expose his hypocrisy!"

"...Just wait, Hydra." The girl made up her mind, "Not only will I eat you up completely, but after I'm done using you -"

"After what?"

"After that, of course I was strong enough and didn't have to worry about his revenge, so -"

"At once……"

Xitana looked at the smiling young noble standing at the door of the cell, and her voice gradually faded away.

Anser, who was holding a cane in one hand and a book in the other, smiled gently: "So what?"

Sitana said nothing and tilted her head towards the cell.

"The Xitana I know is not the kind of girl who only dares to speak ill of others behind their backs."

Anser said this, opened the cell and walked in: "Or are you afraid of this?"

He smiled and tapped his neck.

"You're the one who's afraid!" Xitana suddenly jumped up like a raging fire, "After I've used you, I'll expose your true face! Let's see what you'll do then!"

"Hmm..." Anser pondered, knocked the rat on the bed to the side with his cane, and sat down calmly, "Is that all?"

These words made Xitana feel that she was seen through. She glared at Anser angrily: "That's all? You think I can't do it?"

"I mean, Xitana, do you only hate me to the extent that you expose my true colors?"

Anser, who didn't care about the dirty bed, put his cane aside and chuckled with interest: "Then you don't hate me that much."

Hitana was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, it seemed to be true. How could it end here?

"Then I'm going to pin you to the ground and beat you up until you're half dead!"

"Ah."

"I'll also put this collar around your neck and shock you a hundred times!"

"anything else?"

"And...and...you, you're a pervert. Do you want my revenge so badly?"

Being stared at by Anser with that half-smiley look, Xitana suddenly felt like a clown and screamed in anger.

"I'm just curious." Anser stopped looking at Xitana and started reading the book in his hand. "I'm curious about how much you hate me."

"Anyway..." The young wolf snorted in great displeasure, "Anyway, I hate it more than you think."

Anser, who was reading a book, did not continue the topic.

He could have used this to question what he had done and whether Xitana had the right to hate him. Anser had a thousand completely true statements, which were by no means "lies", to once again destroy Xitana's self-esteem and ego.

But he did not do so, not only because the time was not right, but more importantly, in this second long training, he would change his role.

Torture is always a means, not an end.

About twenty minutes later, Xitana, who was a little fed up, finally couldn't help asking, "Why did you come in? If you want to torture me, do it quickly! Don't just sit there and disgust me!"

"I came to this cell only because you came in."

Without even looking up, Anser said, "Because in the eyes of everyone in the Red Frost Territory, you are the most special person to me, and if you make a mistake, it means that I am not strict enough in disciplining you."

"Even if no one asks, there is no law. The restrictions I place on myself require me to accept the same punishment as you."

"..." Shitana was stunned for a long time, then opened her mouth hesitantly, not knowing what to say, and could only say the word "hypocrisy" dryly.

"You will understand sooner or later, Sitana."

Anser raised his head and looked at her, then said meaningfully: "If I ever fall into this situation again, you will understand why I did this."

Shitana didn't like playing guessing games with Ansher, so she just kept silent and just huddled in the corner.

It was unknown how long this silence lasted. The guy opposite Xitana's cell was so tired of talking dirty that the silence was broken only when the jailer brought today's dinner.

It was obvious at first glance that this young jailer, who was pushed out to suffer punishment and had no background, tremblingly carried two plates of paste food and a bucket of water to the cell door. He looked so shivering that if you didn't know him, you would think he was locked up in the cell.

"Hai, Mr. Hydra, you...your dinner..."

The young jailer said this in a nearly collapsed voice, his hands shaking so much that he almost spilled the food: "I, you..."

"Okay, just leave it there." Anser waved his hand to signal the jailer to leave, and smiled gently, "It's not your fault, it's my request. Don't worry, no one will hold you accountable for anything."

The young jailer knelt down with tears in his eyes and kowtowed to Anser several times before he was willing to leave.

"Go and get our dinner, Sitana."

Anser turned his attention back to the book.

"..." Sitana said nothing. She walked to the cell door with a pout and brought in food and water.

The girl looked at the milky white paste on the plate and her mouth twitched twice: "Is this kind of thing for people to eat?"

"Why should prisoners be treated well?" Anser picked up the plate and put the food that Xitana found unappetizing into his mouth without changing his expression. "If you make a mistake, you must accept the punishment, Xitana."

Seeing Ansher's calm expression, Hitana thought, if Hydra, a pampered nobleman, doesn't feel disgusted, how could I not be able to eat it?

She hadn't eaten lunch or dinner and was extremely hungry. She made up her mind and scooped a large spoonful into her mouth, then -

"vomit--!"

The horrible taste that hit her taste buds made Hitana's stomach and throat twitch. Before she could react, her physiological instinct made her vomit out all the food.

"Cough... cough cough cough! Ugh!"

Hitana ran straight to the bucket of water, not caring about the spoon inside, and took two big gulps from the bucket, then vomited all over the floor.

"You, you—" The girl was extremely embarrassed. At the same time, she looked at Anser, who was reading a book seriously as if nothing had happened, in disbelief. "How did you eat that thing that tasted like an animal corpse?"

She stared at Anser's plate suspiciously: "Did you put any other condiments on this plate?"
