The villain's way to tame the protagonist

Page 68

Sitana, dear Sitana.

The devil chuckled inwardly with contentment.

How could I possibly use despicable, mean, and unscrupulous means to hurt your family, your friends, and you, the one I cherish the most?

How could I be so desperate that I would have to use that kind of means to coerce you and force you to come back to me?

I don't want to hurt you anymore.

So, let your family and friends love you on my behalf.

Let countless loves surround you, let those loves destroy your self, destroy your self-esteem, destroy your self-confidence——

Destroy the dignity and value that you regard as life, as everything.

Ps:

The bounty has been settled. The data on the day the bounty was opened was 435 monthly tickets, 2388 rewards, and 142 blades.

The current data is 1040 monthly tickets, 51752 rewards, and 287 blades.

There are 605 more monthly tickets, and I owe 6 chapters; there are 49364 more rewards, which can be added up to 10 chapters; there are 145 more blades, which is 1 chapter, so there are 17 chapters in total, which is not much.

It seems difficult to figure out how to pay it back. I am currently updating 8K posts a day on average. If I were to increase my posts by more than that, I would still feel like I am dying. But if I were to increase my posts by less, I would feel like I am not doing it well and I would feel like I am cheating.

6K a day is the minimum, is 2K per chapter ok? (Be careful) 裙①榴巴贰壹7七①6

Chapter 3: The End of Childhood Part (K)

Hitana's family and friends began a difficult and painful journey.

They hope to improve Shetana's image in Hydra's mind. Of course, there are many selfish motives in this, but more importantly, it is to give Shetana a better future.

Overwhelmed by this love, Hitana was unable to speak. She was caught in this seemingly gentle cruel vortex and could not escape.

Tonight, she had another dream and had to accept Hydra's training again.

Although her memory of the dream was a little vague, Hitana had a very clear impression of the pain she had suffered in the dream a few days ago.

The humiliation she suffered in her dreams each time was far more brutal than any previous training. If the previous training was Hydra's purposeful correction, then everything that happened in her dreams after returning to the village... was more like a cruel and merciless punishment.

However, during this training, Shitana did not suffer any cruel abuse or punishment. The originally dark and chaotic dream became clear and turned into Hydra's study.

The scene was still a little blurry, and Hydra's image was still shrouded in shadow.

"You're sad, Sitana."

Hydra stood beside her, holding a cup of tea. "You didn't expect this to happen, did you?"

"..."

Shitana looked at the chaotic scene outside the study with empty eyes. She no longer had the mind or energy to argue with Hydra. She just wanted to get rid of this damn dream as soon as possible.

The devil, who seemed quite proud of his methods, chuckled. The undisguised joy that could easily anger Shitana in the past did not cause any reaction in the Soul-Loss Wolf now.

"This feeling seems to make people more desperate than seeing the tragic situation in Scarlet Frost City with their own eyes, isn't it?"

Hydra did not look at the numb Sitana, but looked at the chaotic border of the dreamland with her and said with emotion:

"On one side is everything you love, and on the other side is the devil who is playing tricks on your life. You should know what to choose, right?"

The corners of his mouth raised up, a somewhat exaggerated, even slightly weird smile that Hydra seemed to have never shown in real life.

"But the problem is—"

The boy sang as if he was performing a drama: "Everything you love is using love to deny your dignity and value, while the devil who is playing with your life regards your abilities and skills as treasures. Dear Xitana... are you sure you really want to choose the former?"

"Or...if you choose the former."

He tilted his head, smiling harmlessly and kindly: "Isn't that the same as choosing the latter?"

"..."

"I won't force you to do anything, Sitana. I've never forced you to do anything, oh... the training session doesn't count as one of them."

Hydra appeared behind Xitana like a ghost and whispered in her ear: "I have given you the capital to challenge authority and despise the small crowd. As a result, you have almost unlimited... choices."

"It's just that every time you make a choice, you always pick the worst option, which then leads to the worst result."

The hand that seemed real or phantom wrapped around Xitana's slender and tight waist. The devil, whose face gradually became clear, rested his head on her shoulder and spoke in a tolerant and compassionate voice:

"But even so, I am willing to bear the cost of your mistakes. Regardless of others, I think I have been the most tolerant to you."

"Then... there's only one reason why you still hate me so much, isn't it?"

"I trampled on your life."

At this moment, Hitana, who was embraced by Hydra, suddenly raised her hands and grabbed his neck, twisted her body and pressed him to the ground, riding on him with heavy breathing, pinching his throat with one hand and raising the other hand with a fist high.

"It's a very impressive scene."

Lying down safely on the ground, Hydra looked up at the pretty face and laughed: "Do you want to see it again in your dream, Sitana?"

"..."

The wolf remained silent and ultimately did not deliver the punch.

"it's a pity."

Hydra tilted her head slightly: "I thought I could enjoy the scene where you, Xitana, cried and weakly questioned me why I did this."

"Then I really... disappoint you."

Hitana's cold, empty eyes reflected Hydra's blurry face. Those eyes were more like exquisitely crafted glass beads with beautiful colors than pupils, embedded in her eye sockets, stiffly and coldly.

"Do you have an answer?" Hydra's smile was still annoying.

The corner of the girl's mouth twitched: "What if there is an answer? Do you think I will believe you?"

How could she trust someone who might be deceiving her at any time and in any place, trying to lead her in a certain direction to achieve his own goals?

How could she trust a devil who had already started planning her life before they met, or even before they met, and who played with all her joys and sorrows at his fingertips?

Ah...it's not that there is no solution.

Forget yourself, forget everything, throw away the most basic dignity of being a human being, even willingly give up your self and soul, and regard being dominated by Hydra as the greatest and only happiness in your life——

In this way, I can trust him, right? Even if he wants me to die, I won't hesitate at all.

But...hadn't I already done that at that time?

I am so humble, begging you like a dog, I would rather sell everything I have to you, begging you not to tell me those things.

As long as you don’t tell me… How could a stupid person like me realize that you are playing with my life?

No matter how happy you are, no matter how you continue to play with everything about me, as long as I don’t know, it doesn’t matter at all, right?

You could have continued to laugh at my funny and stupid behavior where I couldn't see you, and enjoy my guilty and sad look towards you.

You could have manipulated my life and controlled my will as you pleased, just like from the very beginning, when I didn't know anything about it... Hadn't I already been planning to give you everything I had at that time?

But Hydra, you didn't do that.

You even trample on my humble plea.

A glimmer of life suddenly appeared in Xitana's empty eyes.

Yes... You even want to trample on me who has abandoned myself and my dignity.

"Since you need me...Since you need me..."

She did not show weakness or cry as Hydra said.

Instead, he hated Hydra's cruelty, ruthlessness, arrogance and viciousness; at the same time, he hated his own stupidity, arrogance and absurdity.

With this double hatred, he roared at Hydra:

"Why... do you have to trample on my life like this!"

In this matter alone, Xitana is undoubtedly the victim - whether from a neutral perspective or from Xitana's own perspective.

Hitana is an arrogant, foolish, and willful person. There is no doubt that she is primarily responsible for the many troubles she has caused.

But in fact, Anser, who has been "disciplining" and "guiding" Xitana, has not done what he should do in a broad sense - after all, he is just training Xitana to be what he needs.

Therefore, in other aspects, the disasters caused by Xitana were either due to Anther's deliberate guidance or from Anther's casual indulgence.

Hitana did not want to deny the guilt caused by her own stupidity. Now, she no longer blamed Ansher and Marina for the disaster in Red Frost City.

She only blamed the nobles for their stinginess, greed, depravity and corruption; she only blamed herself for being stupid and arrogant, not only for making self-righteous demands, but also for not being able to see through the exquisite illusion that Hydra had created for her.

And Hitana's admission of her own mistakes and stupidity does not conflict with her boundless hatred for Hydra.

If, if at that moment, Hydra stopped talking about that topic... Xitana would choose to automatically forget everything he said and would rather immerse herself in the beautiful dream he created for her.

But Hydra didn't. He had no feelings for her at all. He told her arrogantly and happily that everything she had experienced was arranged by him. Her thoughts and emotions were all in his control.

As if to appreciate the moment of his utter despair, he killed the former Hitana without any attachment to her.

Shetana, who was already dependent on Hydra and would never be able to live without Hydra.

Apart from treating me as a toy, what other mentality could make Hydra do such a thing? Even if he really had any feelings for me, shouldn't he accept that I had abandoned everything and was as loyal as a dog?

"Yes... that's it..."

Xitana stared at the face covered by shadows and murmured to herself with disgust and sadness:

"Hydra, Anser. You have never... cared about me."

After a long silence, Hydra on the ground said calmly:

"…Do you really think so?"

Xitana didn't say anything, she just loosened her hand, stood up, and stopped looking at Hydra, as if he didn't exist.

"Hey……"

Hydra looked at the girl's back, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed.

He stood up, patted his clothes lightly, bowed slightly and said: "See you tomorrow, Xitana."

"Whatever you want, just continue to torture me as much as you want."

Xitana said expressionlessly: "Satisfying your boring desires, huh, is this the only value I have left to you?"

Hydra smiled:

"But you seem to be volunteering."

Shitana was slightly startled. She turned her head to look at the blurry face. Her pupils dilated slightly, and suddenly she walked quickly towards Hydra.

But after just one step, the devil's figure disappeared.

The dream collapsed, and all the churning emotions turned into nothingness.

Hydra disappears in Xitana's dreams as usual, but Xitana still has to continue her cold and cruel life in reality.

Chapter 1: The End of Childhood Part (W)

"Hiss...Xi'er, how much coal do you have left at home?"

In the Blackwater Forest, Ruiyota rubbed her hands wrapped in cotton gloves and asked with gritted teeth.

"... maybe enough for four or five days."

Hitana showed no emotion as she drew her bow, the sharp tip of the arrow pointing somewhere in the forest.

"Oh, it's a problem. Everyone is running out of coal."

"In this weather, we can't do without coal," said Reyota with a sad face.

Xitana was silent for a moment, then whispered:

"Isn't this how we all came here before?"
