The villain's way to tame the protagonist

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

Marina said as Xitana became increasingly uneasy and frightened.

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

"If this makes you grow up."

She turned and left without any reluctance.

boom!

As the door closed, Sitana just raised her trembling hand.

"Oh...ah..."

She no longer had the ability to cry.

The girl just opened her mouth, unable to even cry in such despair.

Her sister doesn't want her anymore.

She lost the most important person in her life.

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

With her heart broken, Xitana struggled madly to get up, pushed the door open, and then fell to the ground again.

It seemed as if no one was left in the mansion except her.

She scratched at the floor, tried to push herself up once more, and staggered up the stairs. The light in her eyes was so dim that it could go out at any moment.

No...it's not nothing.

And... and Ansel, I still have Ansel... he is the best to me...

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

Almost lying on the handrail, Xitana climbed the stairs with difficulty, shouting helplessly and pitifully in a hoarse voice: "Anser... Anser, don't leave me, you said..."

You said you would...always respond to me.

Then, as if in response to Shitana's begging, the brilliant figure that had been imprinted in Shitana's heart appeared at the top of the stairs.

"An, Anser!"

Hitana's heart was filled with ecstasy, and this ecstasy and hope even completely washed away her previous despair. She almost climbed up the stairs using her hands and feet, like a believer who was about to ascend to heaven and be saved.

"Anser!"

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

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

Anser, who appeared at the right time, put one arm around her waist and stroked her head with the other hand:

"What's wrong, Sitana?"

“Wuwuwuwu…Linna hates me, Linna doesn’t want me anymore.”

The girl cried helplessly. The overwhelming sadness made her repeat: "She doesn't want me anymore... She doesn't want me anymore..."

"How could that be?" Ansel comforted her, "Marina won't abandon you, and neither will I."

These words instantly made Xitana feel relieved. She sobbed, but responded softly: "I, I know... Anser will never give up on me."

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

She nudged Anther's belly like a puppy. The monster who could fight with the emperor in her dreams and overturn the earth with a swing of her fists and feet, now tried her best to show her value and significance in Anther's eyes, just to tell Anther and herself that she would not be abandoned.

"Anser won't be disliked by others, and it doesn't matter if I am disliked by others... From now on, I will never act on my own again. I will do whatever Anser tells me to do, and I won't think about anything else. Anser will always be the best and the right one!"

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

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

"Yeah." Anser responded with a smile, "Of course, even if Xitana doesn't do that, I will still keep you by my side no matter how much trouble Xitana gets into."

This promise made Hitana feel completely at ease. She stopped crying. The wolf, who had found a home and support, let go of everything and snuggled in Anser's arms wholeheartedly, enjoying the peace that the promise brought her.

And it is in this hope.

In this way, she was able to escape from all pain, all sorrow, and all despair in peace.

Ansir Hydra, the devil from the abyss bent down and whispered in Xitana's ear.

“But you may not.”

"……Eh?"

The young man hugged the girl who was already standing on the edge of the cliff, and held her in his arms, but not to save her.

But to personally send her... into the abyss of no return.

He closed his eyes and said to Xitana, whose body was as stiff as a corpse: "You know I won't lie to you, right, Xitana?"

"Now, it's your turn to ask me questions."

"Ask me."

Ansher held Sitana's face, pinched her eyes tightly, and pried open her eyelids, forcing the increasingly frightened and desperate girl to look at him.

"No..." Sitana murmured, trembling, "No... Ansir... No..."

And the devil showed no sympathy at this moment.

"Hitana, ask me that question."

"no no!"

"Ask me why—"

"I don't want it! I don't want to ask! Please, Ansir... please, don't say it, I will listen to you, I will listen to you in everything... Don't tell me... Don't tell me!"

"Why, I didn't stop you from doing that?"

Xitana knelt on the ground. This once proud, wild, arrogant and willful girl, destined to look down on the world and do absolutely tyrannical things in the future, knelt on the ground and begged in a humble manner:

"Don't say it... Ansel, please don't say it... Can you just leave it like this... 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...ser..."

"Why did the crowd riot so quickly? Why didn't the city defense army show up? Why was your conversation with Earl Solidstone 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 there like a puppet, with her arms hanging down, her head tilted to one side, and her eyes empty.

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

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

"Xitana, today, you don't need to ask me."

"I'll tell you everything."

"I'll tell you, this was all planned by me from the very beginning, starting with you knowing my policies, secretly recording the meeting of Earl Solidstone, and not knowing how to deal with the Shadow Crystal and the Mind Reading Ring after his attitude towards me changed. Then, you provided assistance to the poor, and then your unauthorized actions, as well as Earl Solidstone's subsequent changes and handling."

"——Everything is within my expectations and arrangements."

Anser gently stroked Xitana's cheek and whispered:

"Everything you have done, all the sins you have committed, are all arranged by me, all within the trajectory I have set for you."

"Because I understand you, because I am the person who understands you best in this world."

“And this is not all.”

He gently placed his forehead against Xitana's: "Dear Xitana, everything you have experienced recently was arranged by me."

"So, from the time we met until now, everything we've experienced..."

"——What reason do you have to escape from my control?"

"……Fake?"

Sitana's eyes moved.

Those dull eyes met Ansher's sea-blue eyes.

"Are they all... fake?" Her lips opened and closed, making a hollow, emotionless sound.

This is despair at its purest, there is no greater despair than this.

There were no emotional fluctuations, no sadness, no pain, only... dead silence and dark despair.

"No, it's not fake, Sitana."

Anser's tone was more serious than ever before: "Everything I have done for you, all the emotions I have invested in you, are absolutely true - otherwise, I would not be determined to tell you all this at this moment."

"Everything is real, absolutely real, pure and simple. It is the fact that everything moves as it should, just as day and night change, and the sun rises and sets."

"I just guided it, but I never made anything feel 'false' or 'unreal'."

"Just like... fate to all living things."

"And all of this -" Hydra held the wolf's hand, "all of this is just for your growth."

growing up.

These two words made Xitana feel harsh, painful and desperate.

But at this moment, after she had experienced so much pain, so much great despair, these two words... actually caused ripples in her dead heart.

"Grow...up." Xitana murmured dully.

“Yes, growth.”

Anser closed his eyes for some reason and whispered, "You deserve this. Growth that will make you a better version of yourself."

"Xitana, your justice and kindness are what you think."

"I am not denying your character and behavior, but you do not recognize your essence."

"Your kindness is not kindness in the true moral sense, but comes from a sense of belonging and closeness to your 'kind'."

"You regard all commoners who have the same experiences and upbringing as you as your peers, so you are always willing to help them unconditionally, love them, and be close to them. You respond to your enemies, the nobles, with unconditional hatred and hostility."

"This is who you are, and I want you to recognize this."

Anser said without reservation: "I want you to realize that you are not the same as them. Good and evil are not as clear-cut as you think. This is what I expect you to get, growth."

Grow, grow, grow…

"Hahaha……"

There was suddenly some light in those dark red eyes.

A smile also appeared on the dead and numb face.

“Growth…hahahaha…growth.”

The waves these two words stirred up in Hitana's heart... were not water.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

The wolf laughed crazily: "Grow! Grow! Hahahahahaha!"

But...flame!

"growing up!"

Although she was mentally exhausted, her soul was broken and her body was extremely tired, she suddenly jumped up and punched Ansher in the face with an extremely fierce punch!

That flame was burned by the brutal and wild self that was engraved in the deepest part of the soul and would never yield to anything... the fire of rage!

"growing up!"

After knocking Anther to the ground with one punch, Hitana laughed wildly and straddled Anther without holding back. With the intention of beating Anther to death, she punched Anther on the head one punch after another.

"Grow! Grow! Grow! Hahahahahaha! Anser! Hydra! The growth you want! Growth!"

While crying, Xitana laughed horribly and ferociously, looking up at the sky with a weird and crazy laugh. In the horrific scene of bones and blood splattering, brains and flesh bursting out, she howled hysterically:
