The villain's way to tame the protagonist

Sitana, who was lost in thought, was brought back to reality by a rather childish call.

Miss Wolf came to her senses and looked forward, but didn't see anyone. However, she immediately and skillfully shifted her gaze and saw a girl who was already very petite and looked even more delicate in comparison with her.

The students and teachers around were extremely shocked. Some of them anxiously wanted to call her back, but when they saw those dark red eyes that looked like animal pupils, all their movements and words were frozen.

"What's wrong, little girl?" Looking down at the slightly trembling girl, Xitana raised an eyebrow, "Do you have something to talk to me about?"

"Um... I am, Cathal Rutland's sister, my name is Linda..."

The girl, who seemed to have a good family background and a good temperament, held her head high and tried to make her voice sound more imposing: "Nice to meet you, Lord Lance!"

It can be seen that she really wanted to calm herself down, but it was a bit reluctant. It was this reluctant look that made Hitana feel interesting, and her unhappy mood when facing the old man, the Grand Duke of the Gray Tower, also subsided a little.

She held out her hand to the little girl: "Nice to meet you, too."

The little girl named Linda was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stretched out her hands and held it. Her slightly helpless look made Miss Wolf laugh.

"So? Now that you've introduced yourself, it's time to tell me what you want from me."

Sitana was very happy to enjoy the attitude of a big sister: "I am in a good mood now, just say it directly."

Linda carefully withdrew her hand and saluted to Xitana, but it was not a lady's salute, just a slight bow: "Lord Lance, when you were still studying in the Skyfrost Tower, my brother, that is, Caisel Rutland, invited you to join his club. Do you remember?"

"...Hmm? Club?"

Miss Wolf was a little confused at first, then suddenly realized: "Oh, you mean those guys who want to recruit me as their subordinate, right?"

"No, no!" Linda explained hurriedly, "I don't know what other people think, but my brother...he, he sincerely hopes that you can become a partner in his club, and study together in the Sky Frost Tower, make progress, and become stronger together!"

Hitana had no impression of that Kessel, which meant that he was meaningless to Miss Wolf, but it also meant that he had never done anything really bad.

"So, what do you want to tell me?"

Xitana squatted down, looked at the child with a smile, who was not very old... but in fact, he was probably only four or five years younger than him, and teased: "Are you going to continue to recruit me on behalf of your brother?"

"No, no! I just wanted to... just wanted to see..."

The little girl put her hand on her heart, and her eyes suddenly shone with such pure, flawless, and longing light.

"I want to see what kind of person Lord Lance is, who is praised so highly by my brother."

The gaze was not filled with vigilance or fear, but with pure yearning and curiosity. Shetana, who hated her school days and the Frost Tower, was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes gradually softened. She reached out and rubbed Linda's head: "You're looking so close, aren't you afraid that I'll hit you?"

"No." Linda shook her head vigorously. "My brother said that Lord Lance is actually a very good person. He has always regretted not being able to become friends with Lord Lance, so I know that Lord Lance would not hit anyone casually."

Miss Wolf laughed dumbly: "Then your brother has chosen the wrong person."

"Really?" Linda tilted her head, "But I think my brother is right."

"Lord Lance is tall, beautiful, and powerful. Besides, he didn't hit me, and he even touched my head very gently."

The little girl blinked her eyes and said with great confidence: "Even in the Lingyi, many people are saying that Lord Lance is dangerous, but I heard about what Lord Lance did from my brother, and I don't think Lord Lance did anything wrong!"

She waved her fist vigorously and said angrily: "Those bad guys really need to be taught a lesson!"

Xitana smiled cheerfully and pinched Linda's cheek: "So there are still people who support me?"

"Of course, and there are many students and teachers who support Master Lance."

"How come I don't know——"

Xitana's words suddenly paused because she remembered her first training and the beginning of everything.

Anser's first training of Xitana was to attribute everything she had experienced in the Skyfrost Tower to her arrogance and stupidity - a perfect deception and oppression, but it would not be entirely Anser's rhetoric.

It is impossible that everyone would regard Hitana, who was brought into the Skyfrost Tower by Polynia herself and had unparalleled talent and unlimited future, as a country bumpkin. Such people are a minority, but Hitana's impression of the Skyfrost Tower would not become better because of such a minority - after all, she was also a problem student who often got into trouble.

The young wolf did reject all the olive branches thrown to him, either out of pride or vigilance, and this rejection made goodwill seem distant. Coupled with the fact that he was wallowing in malice all day long, the Skyfrost Tower became a complete garbage dump for Hitana.

But now think about it carefully... Is the Skyfrost Tower really so unbearable, or was she the proud and stupid girl who never chose to accept the kindness of others from the beginning to the end?

If there weren't a large number of teachers and even students supporting Hitana, how could she have gotten away with it after slaughtering so many gentlemen and young ladies?

Anther's initial training now became an excellent reason to persuade Hitana to think calmly.

"It just so happens that I also want to make one thing clear to you, Lord Lance."

Dormer Gray Tower spoke at the perfect time:

"You haven't been studying for a long time, and you are often... entangled in trivial matters, so you may not have a clear understanding of the composition of the members of the Sky Frost Tower."

"In fact, the Sky Frost Tower does not simply recruit students and teachers from all over the empire, because at least 30% of the students and teachers come from the Sky Frost Tower."

"…What nonsense are you talking about?"

Because there were children around, Xitana's tone was a little more restrained, but still unkind: "If the students and teachers of the Sky Frost Tower are not from the Sky Frost Tower, then where else could they be from?"

The Grand Duke of the Gray Tower smiled gently and said, "I mean, the source - that is to say, from the very beginning, they were from the Skyfrost Tower."

"From the beginning...wait, from the beginning?"

After reacting, Xitana's face gradually showed shock. She looked at Linda, who was getting nervous because of the words spoken by the Grand Duke of Gray Tower, and asked in disbelief:

"Little Linda, were you born in the Skyfrost Tower and have you lived here since you were a child?"

"Yes, Lord Lance."

The little girl replied as if it was a matter of course: "What's wrong?"

"This……"

Born and raised in the Sky Frost Tower, at least 30% of the students and teachers were like this? How come she never knew this!

The Grand Duke of Gray Tower once again extended an invitation at this moment:

"So, are you interested in... touring the living community of the 'Sky Frost People'?"

*

"Mr. Devil, this old man, what on earth does he want to do?"

On the way to the "living community" mentioned by the Grand Duke of Gray Tower, Xin asked Anser in his ear: "Why does he seem to be targeting me and testing Miss Wild Wolf?"

"He is just doing what he thinks he should do. As for why there seem to be two purposes..."

Hydra smiled nonchalantly: "Doing one thing can achieve two seemingly unrelated things. Isn't that amazing?"

"Of course, if he was really that powerful, he wouldn't have to use one thing to deal with the two of you."

At the same time, the voice of the Grand Duke of Gray Tower came from the front:

"Mr. Hercules, I also hope that you can learn about the life of the Skyfrost people with Lord Lance."

Arriving in front of a tall tower outside the Skyfrost Tower, the Grand Duke of Gray Tower turned around and said to Anser sincerely:

"I believe this should clear up many of your misunderstandings about me."

As the tower door slowly opened, Dormer's announcement became more passionate:

"All I did was definitely not for myself—"

His words stopped abruptly.

Because a crow flapped its wings and flew out from the door, circled in the air for a while, and landed on Hitana's shoulder.

"Oh, what a coincidence, Sitana, and... Mr. Hercules."

The entrance to the living community that the Grand Duke of Grey Tower had mentioned had been swallowed up by a dark shadow, and the witch who treated the shadow as a skirt welcomed their arrival dignifiedly and gracefully, as if she was the owner of the place.

Marina covered her mouth and smiled, her eyes curved into charming crescents.

"I didn't expect that we would meet again after just a short while."

Chapter 1: I Have Parents (W)

The seemingly unshakable calmness and composure on the face of the Grand Duke of Gray Tower disappeared for the first time.

He held his cane, and his tone was no longer as relaxed as when he was talking to Xitana:

"Ms. Malros, why are you here?"

Marina shouldn't be here. She should have ensured that the refugees evacuated from Polynia could safely reach the northern border. What's more... she should have no reason to be here.

Marina just smiled and asked back: "Can't I appear here? And, Mr. Gray Tower, do you think... can you decide where I appear?"

She raised her hand slightly, and the shadow covering the entire passage behind her rose and fell like the tide. The shrill cry of the death bird came from it, as if announcing that this was the witch's territory.

Before Huita could speak, the woman in an elegant black dress sighed softly:

"Do you really think that I will remain indifferent to your transgression, Mr. Gray Tower?"

The crow resting on Xitana's shoulder had scarlet eyes, staring at the silent Grey Tower Grand Duke.

"You are so self-righteous and are trying to interfere with Xitana's decision. Why do you think you have the qualifications to influence her will?"

Marina revealed the reason why she appeared here and emphasized the legitimacy of this behavior. She showed a sweet and moving smile, but the crow standing on Shitana's shoulder suddenly screamed, like a dark lightning that cut through space, and instantly crashed into the Grand Duke of Gray Tower.

The next moment, it seemed as if a ball of black water exploded where Dormer Grey Tower was standing, and he was completely swallowed up by the deep and endless darkness. The exploded black water ball spread out dense, irregular and sharp spikes in all directions, and at the same time, a sharp sound that made one's teeth ache was heard.

"Isn't it a bit unethical for you to do it yourself?"

Dormer's deep voice came out from the unstable black ball. As time went by, the black mass that blocked him was peeled off bit by bit. The old man stood there unharmed, and the smile on his face no longer had any trace of sincerity, but was full of hypocrisy.

"Although I have crossed the line a bit, I don't think... I have offended Lord Lance in the slightest."

The witch blinked her eyes and said, "I didn't do it. It was one of my subordinates with bad temper who did it. If it was me who did it..."

&*%——!!!

It was an indescribable, eerie sound that made one's skull tremble.

At the same time as the voice rang out, the shadow that was originally just behind Marina suddenly collapsed like the sky, filling everyone's vision in an instant, and it seemed as if the entire world was encompassed in the shadow.

"Do you think you still have the right to stand here and talk to me?"

But when Marina's gentle and pleasant voice was heard, the darkness that covered everything disappeared without a trace, as if everything just now was an illusion.

Xitana was shocked. She had never seen Marina make such a big scene in front of her. Her sister seemed... seemed really angry.

"Subordinates..." The Grand Duke of the Gray Tower murmured in a low voice, then shook his head and chuckled, "Ms. Malros, I admit that I really can't track you down, but your subordinates... The Skyfrost Tower is not so flawless that outsiders can come in and out at will."

"Well...your protective measures are indeed commendable."

Marina tilted her head slightly. This playful little gesture still had a natural elegance and beauty when she did it:

"But who told you that my subordinates are definitely outsiders to the Skyfrost Tower?"

This sentence is obviously more impactful than Marina's subordinates sneaking into the Skyfrost Tower.

The Grand Duke of the Grey Tower unconsciously tightened his grip on the scepter and could hardly smile. However, the witch, who could infiltrate shadows into every corner of the empire, was even happier because of this.

"The Devourer Head... indeed, it is the most brutal and dangerous head of Hydra."

After a long time, Dormer slowly spoke: "Mr. Flamel's beast of disaster is also omnipresent. It devours, digests, and utilizes... It can use its corresponding abilities in any occasion and any situation. It has been infamous in the empire for at least thirty years. It can silently seduce or corrode my students and teachers... Ms. Malros, it seems that you are more adapted to this power than your predecessors."

"I heard that the revolutionary army was defeated in the same way." The old man sighed, "Before they tried to attack Donggang, you had already infiltrated them. Oh... it was your subordinates."

The witch lady, who was very pleased, smiled even more brightly, but the words she spoke were so unruly, so... greedy.

"I am simply adapting to Mr. Anser. It has nothing to do with any kind of power."

She can become Anther's strength, any kind of strength will do, and also...she wants to get any kind of strength, because only in this way can she better help Anther and become Anther's most perfect helper.

After making this declaration, Marina began to shrink the shadow behind her and slowly opened the road leading into the tower, but she had no intention of giving way.

"Xitana likes to solve problems on her own, but she always forgets... As Mr. Anser's heir, she doesn't need to reason with you guys."

The witch lady's meaningful eyes fell on Sitana, causing the latter to look away with a guilty look.

"Xitana." Her tone was very didactic. "I am not criticizing you for not seeking my help immediately, or for being too confident that Mr. Gray Tower's plan and coercion would not succeed. This is a bit harsh on you, and it is not something you need to master."

"…What do you mean it's a bit harsh for me!"

Marina ignored Miss Wolf's slightly annoyed protest and continued her lecture: "You should have realized when you were threatened by Mr. Gray Tower that no one can threaten you. If someone does this, he must pay the price."

"If you realize this," she said, looking at the slightly stunned Xitana, "then I will make Mr. Gray Tower pay the price immediately, and you won't be in such a dilemma now."

At first glance, this seemed to make sense to Hitana, but when she thought about it carefully, she felt that something was wrong.

"You...you always ask me to control my temper, don't you?"

Not knowing how to respond, Sitana could only mutter, "This is too overbearing... I think I'm overbearing enough."

In fact, Miss Wolf did not intend to be threatened by Dormer. She had already fought with the old man at that time, but she felt that the fight would have no effect so she let it go. But according to Marina's meaning, she could not just think that it was enough. As long as the Grand Duke of Grey Tower did not pay a real price, it would not be enough.

Even if it was just a threat, it was not a serious deal. After all, the Grand Duke of Grey Tower had not done anything so far. He just wanted her to return to the Skyfrost Tower to take a look.
