The villain's way to tame the protagonist

"For now, stop."

"Red Ice Python, I will take care of it. Xitana, please don't—"

"What are you talking about, Anser."

Xitana looked at Anser with a strange look and interrupted him.

"At this time, do you want me to step down? Are you afraid that I will die?"

Anser sorted out his expression and thoughts, and said in a voice as gentle as possible: "Now, something may have happened to you. The best choice is of course-"

"Of course I just rushed up like that."

Xitana interrupted Anser again: "Is there any better choice than this?"

"Shitana...listen to me..."

"Anther!" Xitana's voice rose slightly, she stretched out her hands to hold Anther's cheeks, and her voice softened again.

"you listen to me."

The girl stared at the face in front of her that was so familiar to her and the one she dreamed of every night.

"You always smile like that."

She touched the corner of Anser's lips with her thumb and whispered, "Like a mask, I can't tell whether you are angry or sad, happy or sad."

"But I don't really care. After all, Anser, you wouldn't lie to me."

"I've only been with you for a short time. Although I like Anser very much, we've been together for a long time, so I have plenty of time to get to know Anser."

"Xitana..." Anser tried to stabilize his tone and emotions, "I think we should now-"

"Anser!"

Xitana pressed Anser's lips angrily: "I told you, you should listen to me now."

She stared into those ocean-blue eyes and chuckled:

"Actually, I know. I know what you said, Anser, that I cannot accept."

Seeing those eyes trembling slightly, Shitana's smile became even brighter, and there was no resentment or sadness in her tone.

"Yesterday, ah, the day before yesterday, I talked a lot with Lina. Before going to bed at night, I told her about our hunting trip that day...including what you asked me about the wild beasts, Anser."

"At that time, Lina looked a little worried. Then last night, before you came, Anser, Lina told me about the beast element."

"..."

"Anther." Xitana stared into Anther's eyes and said:

"You think I'll betray you?"

"You think I'll never be a tamed beast, right?"

“…Shitana.”

Anser's voice was dry and hoarse: "That's not what I think, but the fact -"

"It's okay, Anser."

There was still no dissatisfaction in Xitana's tone: "Although I was very unhappy at that time, but when I think about it carefully, Anser, you were right to think that I couldn't accept this. It means that even at that time, you were considering me."

"That's why I didn't act angry when you came. That's why I successfully deceived you."

She smiled and smoothed Anther's unnatural frown, her eyes full of happiness and peace.

"Then, your behavior after you came here made it even harder for me to be angry."

The girl smiled slyly: "You are hesitating, you feel guilty, you can't make a decision, right?"

"It shows... Anser, you care about me so much. You knew I would betray you but you still couldn't make a decision. If it were someone else, they would have been finished long ago, right?"

"So, I'm very happy, super happy."

Xitana hugged Anser tightly, and proudly declared with great joy: "To Anser, you must be the most special person. Why should I be sad? So--"

She let go of Anser and raised her chin confidently:

"I will make you believe me, Anser. I don't know why I didn't become the Contracted One. I don't know if it's because of the beast element, but I will make you believe me."

"……so."

Anser looked at Xitana's dark red eyes without any hesitation or gloom, and asked in a low voice: "So, in this situation, you will also choose to face the Red Ice Python alone?"

"Of course!" Sitana answered without hesitation.

"…Shitana, don't be silly."

The young Hydra closed his eyes and exhaled slowly: "Let's go back and think of a solution. I admit... I really can't have absolute and unconditional trust in you, but we can--"

"There is no other way, Anser."

Xitana rejected Anser, and she said briskly: "Or rather, I don't recognize any other method."

The girl placed her hand on her heart and said firmly:

"You know it, Anser. If we back down now, there will only be calculations and suspicions between us from now on."

Anser stared at Xitana and said in a somewhat dull tone:

"You're going to die."

"Death? How is that possible!"

Xitana laughed loudly: "Anser, I am the one chosen by fate. Maybe I will not only not die, but also become stronger in some strange way, right?"

“wyyyy——!”

The sharp and piercing long moan was heard again. Xitana turned her head and saw that the Red Ice Python had begun to move on the ground. The direction it was heading towards... seemed to be a city.

"Oh, that big guy is moving. We can't let it get too far. Anser, I have to go now."

Xitana took two steps back, then turned around and ran towards the direction of the giant monster.

However, after running a short distance, the girl suddenly stopped, turned her head to look at Anser, and shouted excitedly:

"Anser!"

She pumped her fist vigorously.

"I will definitely live until the moment you are willing to trust me!"

Then, the tiny wolf charged at the monster created by heaven and earth, without fear but with blazing passion and resolve.

The real horrible monster just stood there, staring blankly at her gradually disappearing back.

Only the girl's passionate and confident words echoed in his mind.

——I will definitely live until the moment when you are willing to trust me.

Chapter 1.3: Love that never ends (w)

The colorful sea of ​​flowers is endless, and no matter which direction you look from, it seems to extend to the end of the world.

In this gorgeous ocean stands a simple and plain wooden house, next to which there is a long hanging chair.

A little boy with shiny blond hair sat in a rocking chair, looking serious, even solemn, as he read a book that was bigger than his head.

Next to him, there was a gentle woman with the same hair color as his, long, smooth hair, and a temperament that seemed to blend in with this sea of ​​flowers and world.

"Arthur," the woman sighed, "Is Mom some kind of boring woman?"

"No, it's just that reading is more fun," young Hydra replied without even looking up.

"Doesn't that just mean I'm boring?"

The woman gently pulled the boy's ear: "I'm getting angry."

Young Anser raised his ears obediently, but still read the book: "Choosing interesting between boring and interesting, and choosing more interesting between interesting and more interesting, are two different concepts, mother."

The woman helplessly let go of her hand, which had not been exerting much force to begin with, and said sullenly, "Forget it. I can't argue with you anyway."

Her words and posturing did not win her son's comfort. What made the woman even more worried was that her son was not low in emotional intelligence, but too smart.

The little boy sitting next to him knew very well why he was pretending, but he also thought his behavior was a little childish, so he didn't react.

——This is what little Ansel said to the woman when he was nine years old.

When a child calls her childish, a woman may wonder whether she is an unqualified mother or too qualified.

The woman could only sigh again and read books with little Ansel.

"What is this book about?"

"On the End of the Empire," Anther answered. "My great-grandfather wrote that."

His index finger gently slid across the paper, his brows slightly furrowed, and he criticized in a slightly arrogant tone: "At present, it seems that my great-grandfather is somewhat out of touch with reality. As long as there is no problem with either of our two 'races', the Empire will not end."

"And obviously, there is no situation where we both have problems at the same time."

"Then, violent means will never be able to end the empire. The real way to change the empire is..."

Whenever talking about these, little Ansel always talks endlessly.

Ever since he gained self-awareness, he has been immersed in the ocean of knowledge from another world. Although most of that huge treasure trove cannot be actually applied in this world, it still allows the young Hydra to have a broad vision that no one can imagine.

However, his parents were not interested in this, and most of the time, he just entertained himself.

"Okay, okay... Mommy got it."

The woman couldn't help interrupting her son and changed the subject: "Arthur, you are already ten years old. It's time for you to have your first marriage contract. Haven't you chosen one yet? Do you want your father to take you to find one?"

"Father still has a long time to go." Anser frowned, "I don't need Qi Shou that much, so I'm not in a hurry."

Only Hydra knows best what Qishou means to them. The young Ansir has a high opinion of himself and has high demands on Qishou. Strength and talent alone are not enough in his eyes.

"You..."

The woman rubbed his head helplessly: "Arthur, time flies quickly. In a few years, you will become a big boy."

"In terms of my mental age alone," Anser said seriously, "I don't think I'm young anymore."

The woman was stunned for a moment, then she laughed happily and said, "Only children would say they are not small, Arthur. Well... Mommy is relieved, you are still a normal child to some extent."

Young Hydra said nothing, but he was somewhat annoyed.

Then he kept calm by reminding himself that only children would get angry if they were called children.

The woman looked at Ansel quietly, and suddenly hugged him silently.

Anser did not react, apparently he was used to his mother's actions. From what he knew, his mother was just like that.

They often feel uneasy for no apparent reason, but they always calm down immediately when they come into contact with their children.

"Arthur."

The woman whispered, "Don't you... want to be a Hydra?"

"...What are you talking about, mother?" Anser looked at his mother in confusion, "Do you think I am dissatisfied with my current life?"

He closed the book and said calmly, "I was born with things that most people in this world cannot obtain even if they sacrifice everything: status, wealth, power, and the most important power in this world. Everything is within my reach. Moreover..."

The boy paused, raised his head, reached out and pinched the woman's face, pinching it hard.

"On top of that, I have the best father and mother in the world, and I didn't sacrifice anything to get all this, so what else can I be dissatisfied with?"

The woman lowered her head and looked into those big ocean-blue eyes. She couldn't help but laugh and rubbed Anser's head vigorously: "Arthur is right... Mom is overthinking. Well... Since Arthur's life is so perfect, can you promise Mom one thing?"

“Is there any necessary connection between the two?”

"Because I gave birth to you!" The woman pinched Ansel's face angrily, "Is this connection inevitable enough?"

Little Ansel, whose face was pinched, nodded expressionlessly.
