The villain's way to tame the protagonist

"What...what does this mean?"

Anser closed the book and put it aside. "Unqualified people cannot spy on our existence. There are some secrets that we don't want others to know."

He stretched himself and said in a nonchalant tone:

"You can understand it as, [No one can record, understand, or know Hydra's secrets at will], this rule was engraved into this world by my ancestors - some simple tricks, the emperor can also do it, and do it even better."

"Then this book—"

"Of course, this book could only have been written by a Hydra."

Anser raised his eyebrows: "Do you think that the books and documents that I consider as collections are popular reading materials that can be found in the library? I will only give you the best, Xitana."

This is understandable, because the author of the book that Xitana had just read was Ansel's father. As long as it is put on the market for sale, the old antiques in the Ether Institute will order the young people to take it down, and everyone in the Alchemy Association will go crazy about it. Even the Tower of Babel, which now represents the most cutting-edge ether theory, will get involved.

"Okay, okay, don't say that to me. I know I'm wrong, isn't that enough..."

Xitana whispered, and her soft little feet gently stepped on Anser's side: "Give me the book, I will read it carefully."

"...No, forget it today."

After a moment of silence, Anser shook his head and smiled: "You are not in the mood to study now, so forcing you is useless."

He looked out the window, and it was still like endless pure white. "The cold wave should last for three to four days, and then it will leave the Red Frost Territory and blow to the next place. I originally planned to let you study hard these few days, but now I think... this little time is not a big deal."

"Do what you want, Sitana."

Ansel said to her gently:

"I'll stay with you during these few days of leisure."

Xitana slowly pulled her foot out and stepped onto the soft carpet. She stood up and stared at Anser:

"Really?"

"I never—"

"Anser, you're the best!"

Before Anser could finish his words, the wolf cub cheered and flew into Anser's arms, rubbing him hard.

Anser smiled and stroked Xitana's hair: "Come to think of it, when did you start calling me by my name and being so intimate with me?"

"Well, well, this... isn't this the kind of, what is it called."

The girl's face flushed with a pretty and lovely blush: "When the water flows over, there will be irrigation channels."

For Xitana, everything came so naturally.

From hatred to anger, from anger to shame, from shame to confusion, from confusion to recognition and tolerance, from recognition and tolerance, to the current full understanding.

"Yeah, that's true."

Anser nodded: "If I didn't know that you usually act like a spoiled child with Marina like this, I would have thought you had other intentions."

"..."

Hitana's face froze, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions.

"Don't mention her." In the end, he could only say this sullenly, "It's so annoying."

"Why, haven't you reconciled yet?"

"As long as she doesn't look at me in a good light, I won't make peace with her!"

In fact, this was already a completely incredible concession for Sitana.

As long as Marina showed a little tenderness, she would immediately throw herself into her sister's arms like a dog - even though from a bystander's perspective, Sitana, who was slapped, received no explanation, and was treated coldly, was undoubtedly the victim, and she herself thought so too.

With her head resting on Anser's lap, Xitana suddenly said, as if she wanted to forget about her annoying sister: "Anser, you said you would let me do what I want, right?"

“Don’t go too far.”

"I know! I'm not a vandal!"

Shitana laughed, stood up, grabbed Ansel's hand, and ran out without saying a word.

"Then stop dealing with any documents and just play with me!"

Diary of the Great Cold Wave, Day One.

I don’t know how to write a diary because it’s hard to write, troublesome, tiring, and ugly. But I still want to write because I’m very happy. (Note: There are six corrections in this sentence)

In the morning, I got up alone and had breakfast with Anther. It was delicious steak. I don’t know what kind of meat it was, but I could never eat it before. Now I eat it every day with Anther.

I went to a small room with Anser to read a book. It was not good-looking, but Anser was very handsome. It was really hard to find a boy who was more handsome than him.

Anser said, "I don't have to read books anymore. He lets me do what I want to do. I'm super happy!" He is the best to me, but I always feel a little weird.

I am obviously a girl, am I not good-looking?

I cleared a room and asked Anser to compete with me in archery. He was amazing, he seemed to know everything, but he was certainly not as good as me in archery. (Note: A little man with his hands on his hips was drawn here)

We played archery, and Anser suggested that he organize the game, and I agreed.

Then he bullied me! He competed with me in making fireballs with magic. I couldn't do it, but he made a really big one.

Even though I lost, I’m very happy.

In the evening, after dinner, Ansel took me to listen to Sister Yura playing the piano, it was beautiful.

I fell asleep in the middle of the process, and for some reason Sister Yura changed her clothes so she had some free time.

Worked out on my own, ended the day, and now I’m writing in my journal.

Looking forward to tomorrow.

Diary of the Great Cold Wave, Day Two.

I got up very early today and saw Lina walking through the corridor with a lot of books.

I don't know when she started calling Anser Mr. Anser, before me. I was unhappy. I wonder when they became so good to each other.

And I still don't know when she started to like black, it looks a bit uncomfortable.

I asked her if she had breakfast, but she ignored me. How annoying!

The room was warm, and there were heating devices everywhere. Was it a barrier? A spell? I don't know, but it was warm. Some places even had fireplaces. For some reason, Anser seemed to prefer fireplaces.

He always liked to sit by the fire and read, very quietly, which was very different from his usual self.

My heart will beat very fast, am I (Note: This part is smudged)

I didn't play with Anser today, but the old housekeeper found two katydids for me. I don't know where he got them, but it was fun to watch them fight for the whole afternoon.

At night, I went to take a bath and saw Ansel in the bathtub. I was scared, but he had a good figure.

It was so nice to take a bath with Mary and have a midnight snack in the hot tub. But Mary said that I had no manners, and I said her figure was far worse than mine, hehe.

Before going to bed, I exercised as usual, but I couldn’t seem to find the feeling I had that day, but there was no need to rush, because I was a genius.

Anser came to see me before I went to bed and asked me if I was happy. I said I was very happy.

Super happy! (Note: the font here is crooked and huge)

Diary of the Great Cold Wave, day three.

The wind and snow seemed to be not as strong. I could vaguely see the outlines of houses and frozen objects on the street. It was so scary. Ansel actually said that I would not be frozen to death.

I didn’t know I was that awesome.

Today, Lina had breakfast with us and said a lot of things to Anser that I didn't understand. At the end, she looked at me. I didn't know what she meant, but she was in a bad mood.

After breakfast, Anser took me to see something called Crystal Shadow, which used crystals to project images. It was a very long story, all about fighting and killing. Anser said it was all acting, not real, and it was very enjoyable to watch.

By the way, where did Anser put the crystal that I brought from that treasure house?

For lunch, we changed the ingredients again. I don’t know how many ingredients were stored here, but I was very happy and could eat whatever I wanted.

During the last severe cold wave, I seemed to be hungry for two days, because I could go without food, but Lina couldn’t.

After dinner, Anser said he would change my clothes because my old clothes were too thin and I would be cold if I wore them outside after the cold wave was over.

Anser is so amazing, he prepared so many clothes, it seems like he can take out everything.

I accidentally broke a very warm lamp like a stove, which seemed to be used for generating heat. Anser said it was okay as there were still many in stock.

In the evening, Anser saw me exercising and sweating a lot. Anser touched my leg and I accidentally hit him. (Note: There is a crying face drawn here)

Before going to bed, Anser was in my room. He said that I was not lazy and was working very hard. I could take my time with studying and there was no need to rush.

He doesn't lie to me and gives me everything.

Anser was the best to me.

Suddenly I thought of the many people who were freezing in the severe cold wave, and I felt sad. But then I remembered that Anser gave them coal, so at least they could survive. The severe cold wave seemed to be over tomorrow, so I felt a little better.

I will make their lives better. (Note: This is the sentence with the most neat handwriting in the diary)

On the morning of the fourth day of the severe cold wave, Shitana was reading her diary and couldn't help laughing, holding it in her arms like a treasure.

These three days were the most precious and memorable three days since she came to the Red Frost Territory.

She spent three days in peace, comfort and happiness without any intrigue or trouble.

There are no responsibilities to bear, and far away from all sorrows and worries, under Ansel's gentle guidance and arrangement, everything is done with a joy that will never make people tired.

Today, the severe cold wave ended and the wind and snow subsided - to be irrational and malicious, Xitana even hoped that such days would last longer.

Of course, this thought only lasted for a moment, and she quickly criticized herself seriously.

She has already memorized all these wonderful things in her heart. Next, Hitana, who has gotten up early, is going to enjoy another thing.

The girl changed her clothes and ran downstairs quickly. She stood in front of the door, rubbing her hands, her face full of excitement.

She wanted to be one step ahead of Ansir and listen to the praise and gratitude of the people who were blessed by Ansir and survived this severe cold wave.

She wanted everyone to know, and everyone to acknowledge, that Ansir Hydra's integrity and kindness were not false, but were the truth that carried tremendous weight.

"Come on, everyone from the Red Frost Territory."

Xitana opened the door with great joy: "Let us welcome the new—"

Snapped--

The smile on the girl's face seemed to be frozen by the remaining biting cold wind.

The moment she opened the door, an ice sculpture fell inward and shattered into pieces with a slight sound.

That's not an ice sculpture.

The limbs, fragments, and human tissue that were so vivid even covered in frost told Hitana that this was not an ice sculpture.

This is a person, a corpse.

Hitana's pupils began to shake violently, not just because of the broken body, but also because of... the scene before her.

"What's this?"

She took a trembling step outside, unable to even feel the slightest bit of cold.

Because the coldness emanating from within her soul had frozen all her senses.

In front of the gate outside Anser's mansion——

Standing, curled up, kneeling, falling down...

"what!!!"

Shitana screamed and ran out of Anser's mansion frantically, standing on the deserted, snow-covered street.

Yes, there is no one there.

But one by one, scattered everywhere, in different postures, but without exception... at the last moment of their lives, they reached out to Anser Mansion, to the paradise that brought Shitana incomparable satisfaction and happiness... ice sculptures.
