The villain's way of taming the protagonist

Sitana read the letter.

——Then completely ignored Marina's threat.

Ha, what a joke, Hydera herself said whatever I want, Lina, you are so troublesome.

Still use any means, what, tie me to Hydera's bed?

The girl curled her lips and looked at the bottle of light green potion on the table.

"Don't forget what he said...?"

The corner of the wolf cub's mouth curled up slightly: "I am not allowed to fail unprepared. Hmph, how could I forget."

She opened the medicine bottle and drank it without hesitation.

A sense of comfort that made her cranial cavity feel cool spreads along her throat to her whole body. Sitana was extremely pleasantly surprised to find that the soreness, numbness, and pain when she woke up are rapidly subsiding, and she can recover to a perfect state within ten seconds at most. .

"Hey, that guy really never lied to me."

Sitana, who picked up the brand new Shadow Reflection Crystal, smiled happily, and then set her sights on the ring.

"...What is a ring that only extraordinary people can wear, and you have to be mentally prepared. Forget it, you don't need it now."

She just left the ring on the table, and when she was about to leave immediately, she seemed to suddenly think of something, rummaged around in the locker in the room, and found a simple telescope and her homemade smoke bomb, Bell bait, deodorant, anesthetic darts, and directly armed himself.

"All ready...OK, let's go!"

The young wolf, full of fighting spirit, waved his fist excitedly.

"I will definitely stop you, Hydera! From today on, let me help you change the Scarlet Frost Collar!"

Chapter 53 Marina's Deep Despair

When our Miss Sitana was full of fighting spirit and ready to do something big, her newly recognized half "brother" was shopping with her sister.

Anser is indeed cultivating Malina seriously, no matter what the reason is, he has no reason to neglect this kind and gentle girl.

—By the way, it can also prevent Marina from hindering Sitana.

"Sitting in your study and office reviewing documents doesn't change anything in essence."

Anser said to Marina, who followed him very neatly, "It doesn't matter how many books you read and how many theories you master."

"Marlena, what do you think is the essence of all the empire's policies?"

Marina, who folded her hands cautiously in front of her body, thought for a moment, and then replied with some hesitation: "The essence of policy should be... the control of the country."

"So, what's next?"

Anser did not deny Marina's answer, but just smiled gently: "What is the essence of state control?"

"This..." The limitations of knowledge and vision prevented Marina from answering Anser's question. She shook her head helplessly, "Please guide me."

"Its essence is the management of people."

"You have to figure out one thing, Marina." Anser, who was walking on the street, receiving the admiring gazes of passers-by and even saluting in the street, looked at ease and looked decent. Just turning his head and moving his eyes could make everyone A person who greets him feels noticed.

"The concept of the country itself is not a great thing, it is just a tool, and its existence just represents the greatest injustice—that is, class differences."

Sensing Marina's blank gaze, Anser, who realized that he had said something, smiled: "Don't worry, I've said too much, this is some... It may not be useful, but it's very amazing knowledge, you don't have to do it now understand."

"To put it simply, a country sounds huge and heavy, but it is ultimately made up of people. In the final analysis, all policies of the empire are also based on people's needs."

Marina understood this sentence immediately, and she nodded clearly: "So what you mean is that just reading books and reviewing documents is not the most intuitive way to understand what people need, and it is impossible to formulate good policies. "

The girl who was only one year older than Xitana looked at the increasingly prosperous Chishuang collar, and sighed with admiration and admiration: "If there are more and more nobles like you... the empire will definitely become better."

"Is that right?"

Anser paused, and turned to look at Marina with a half-smile: "Is this the answer you came up with?"

The girl who was stared at by Anser was taken aback for a moment, and then said in a flustered manner: "I... did I say something wrong?"

"From a normal point of view, there is nothing wrong with your understanding."

Anser's gentle tone made Marina calm down a lot. She muttered to herself: "Since there is no problem from a normal angle, then from an unusual angle..."

"Very, that is..."

Marina suddenly realized, and her fingertips became a little cold.

"……extraordinary."

She timidly uttered these two words that had nothing to do with her.

"That's right, extraordinary."

Anser nodded with satisfaction: "If this world does not have any extraordinary elements, and there is no such leap-forward difference in essence between people, then a country composed of groups and its ruler, that is, the policies formulated by the emperor, It must be based on the subject of the composition—that is, for the majority of people."

"Otherwise, once the main body of the country is dissatisfied or even riots, the country will collapse. No matter how high the emperor is, it can't change anything, can it?"

Anser greatly simplified the knowledge he had acquired from that world, so that Marina could understand it easily. At the same time, he did not shy away from his random evaluation of that great existence, which frightened Marina a little. .

"Yes... yes." The girl nodded cautiously, "If there is no transcendence, it should be... what you said."

"But there are no hypotheses."

Anser spread out his hand, and the exquisite cane turned into a sharp blade in an instant: "The existence of extraordinary elements makes this theory impossible to apply normally, because the main body of the empire is not the people, but..."

Marina's face was pale, fearful, timid, and at the same time whispered unwillingly:

"It's... the emperor."

"Yes, Marina, you have to understand one thing. All the policies of the empire are formulated for people. The 'people' here are not the majority of the empire's civilians, but the main body of the empire... the emperor His Majesty."

Anser whispered... the cruelest reality of this extraordinary world.

"When every emperor wears the crown, they will become the gods of the sixth stage. The power they hold can burn the sea and destroy the earth. The reason why the empire exists is not that countless people have built it in order to seek a place to live. Such a large community—”

"In order to show his greatness, the emperor provided shelter and order to countless human beings."

Theoretically speaking, any generation of emperors in the empire can burn the empire to ashes within three days without any external intervention.

At this time, the so-called "majority" has no meaning at all.

"Do you understand, Marina." Looking at the girl who was gradually trembling, Anser sighed softly, "The commoners have never been the main body, and the commoners have always just... attached to the emperor."

"But why—"

The more intelligent people are, the less able they are to accept this kind of deep and pure despair: "If we exist only for the emperor, why...why do we have the current civilization and order? If the empire is just the emperor's plaything, then, what about this world? Will it be like this now? It shouldn't be... I..."

She spoke incoherently, and even faintly showed signs of mental breakdown under deeper thinking.

Everyone knows that the emperor is great and the emperor is supreme. Marina has always thought so, and she has always thought so, but Anser's words made her suddenly realize that the emperor is not as simple as being great or supreme. Everyone knows the gap between the emperor and himself. But everyone agrees that it is the gap between people.

But in fact, the gap between the emperor and everyone is not the gap between people at all. Everyone... is just a mayfly attached to the emperor.

"Calm down, calm down, Marina."

Anser stroked the girl's back in relief: "I know it's hard for you to accept these for a while, but since you've made up your mind to ask me for advice, there will always be a day when you face them."

"Go on."

He said gently: "If you really can't bear it—"

The handsome blond boy reached out to the trembling girl: "Will this make you feel better?"

Before Marina could react, Anser had already held her hand, and continued to explain as he walked forward:

"Just listening to what I said, you will naturally feel terrified, but this world and the empire are not just that simple."

"First, I want to tell you an interesting theory."

Anser briefly outlined the theory called "Marlos's Hierarchy of Needs", and at the same time asked Marina: "Marlena, what level do you think His Majesty the Emperor is at now?"

"Ah...ah?" Marina came back to her senses and responded nervously, "It should be at the highest level."

"Of course, as a 'person' who possesses wisdom and grows up in this society, as long as the education he gets is normal, he needs to satisfy his never-ending psychological needs. This is one of the important reasons why the empire exists. one."

"A great, prosperous, vast, and happy empire can show the greatness of the emperor, and the praise and awe of the people can satisfy the emperor's heart... Therefore, every policy that is beneficial to the public is not for the sake of the empire. To get better, the essence is just that the emperor is pleasing himself."

Anser felt that the soft little hand in the palm of his hand was a little bit harder, which made him happy, because Marina was keenly aware of the problem, and did not continue to be entangled by the fear just now.

"But this... is unrealistic." Marina's voice was still slightly trembling, "It's too unrealistic to pin everything on the emperor's personal thoughts, if one day, one day he thinks—"

"Yes, people will always change." Anser gently held Marina's hand to calm her down, "If the emperor got tired of people's praise, if he had a whim that day and wanted to see There's fire and howling, so what to do—you're worried about that, aren't you, Marina."

"……Yes."

Marina held Anser's hand in both hands, and said excitedly: "Please tell me! Tell me... my existence, my family... all of me, not such humble things. At least..."

In fact, the girl who already understood her fragility staggered a little weakly and almost fell to the ground: "At least, everything doesn't exist because of just one person."

"Don't worry, Marina."

Anser held Marina's waist, and a gentle voice penetrated into her mind. The dark and sticky strange things silently entangled this girl who felt collapsed and desperate for herself.

"The empire is not so fragile. The founding emperor is a truly great person. He expected this situation, so he took a lot of insurance... Otherwise, how could the empire last for thousands of years with ups and downs, but there is no sign of cessation of destruction? ?”

"This point, I can't explain too much to you, but you can understand it as...the emperor is not the only one in this world, is he?"

extraordinary……

Although Marina is smart, exquisite, kind and gentle, in the final analysis, she is still ordinary, an ordinary girl without the slightest extraordinary talent, and can only live an ordinary life after all... whispering those two words in her heart.

Extraordinary...extraordinary...

Why can't I, why can't I see such a scene, why... my value only exists in the role of pleasing others?

The more intelligent the person is, the easier it is to fall into obsession, and the more intelligent the person... the harder it is to get out.

No matter how hard life is, Marina has never complained about her unfair fate.

——For the first time, I have such pure hatred for the world.

There is still almost one chapter left, so tired...

Chapter 54 The Art of Hydra

This time, Sitana did make what could be called a perfect preparation.

Pre-reconnaissance work, intrusion routes, escape routes, guard posts... She almost perfectly completed all the necessary prerequisites for infiltration without a teacher.

Then she realized—what the hell, it's okay, it made me so nervous.

In the final analysis, this meeting was not a secret. In other words, the convener of the meeting, Earl Jianshi, knew very well that if His Excellency Hydera wanted to inquire, it would be useless to keep it secret, so he did not do any secrecy work at all.

Under this "frankness", Earl Jianshi is making a big gamble that will determine the rest of his life.

Those who can sit in this wide parliament hall are all famous nobles from the Chishuang collar.

The decoration of the council hall is completely different from the style of Scarlet Frost Manor. The luxurious elements are just to the point, and more of a restrained tranquility. The wine cabinets placed in the council are quite unique.

And in the council hall, there is no demon dancing state like Earl Chishuang's banquet. There is only a glass of wine in front of each noble table, and four waiters stand in the corner, waiting for orders, that's all.

With the beating of the second hand of the pocket watch, Earl Jianshi raised his head, looked around at all the nobles present, and said unhurriedly:

"I trouble you to come here, I think you should also understand that this meeting is... of great significance to us."

He interlaced his fingers, laid them flat on the table, and said straight to the point:

"I do not intend to implement His Excellency Hydera's decree."

There was silence in the council hall.

After a long time, a nobleman whose status was not low in terms of seating position spoke:

"Your Excellency, we all trust your prestige and ability in the Scarlet Frost Territory, but this matter...is too risky."

If there are opponents, there will naturally be those who are in favor: "But the policy of that lord is indeed a bit...excessive. Although I don't like the little agricultural tax, the untouchables should look like the untouchables, why should we let them live comfortably? What's more, even if it's easy, they won't thank us."

Someone started, and the council hall was noisy, but Earl Jianshi didn't stop it. If there was no communication, why would he hold a meeting?He didn't have Hydera to raise his hand, so he wanted everyone to be in awe of the energy of bowing their heads.

The quarrel lasted for about 10 minutes, until the voice died down, Earl Jianshi said slowly: "It seems that everyone understands that this kind of dispute will be fruitless. If some of us obey, some object, and some of us obey... I don't think that's a good thing."

"Scattered...it's really easy to be crushed to death by Lord Hydera, isn't it?"

This sentence hit the pain point of the nobles. They like to unite and hold together, but they are always afraid that they will be the one who is left alone.

Under everyone's respectful gaze, Earl Jianshi slowly said, "So, let me give a reason that can convince you all."
