The villain's way of taming the protagonist

You trample on even my humble begging.

A ray of freshness suddenly appeared in Xitana's empty pupils.

That's right... You even trampled on me who had abandoned myself and my dignity.

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

She did not show weakness and weeping as Hydera said.

Instead, he hated Hydera's cruelty, arrogance and viciousness; at the same time, he hated his own stupidity and arrogance, which was ridiculous.

With this double hatred, roar to Hydera:

"Why... have you trampled on my life like this!"

In this case alone, Sitana is the unmistakable victim—both from a neutral point of view and Sitana's own.

Sitana is an arrogant, ignorant, and arrogant person. Among the many disasters she caused, there is no doubt that her own reasons are mainly responsible.

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

Therefore, in other respects, the disasters caused by Sitana were either caused by Anser's deliberate guidance, or Anser's random indulgence.

Sitana didn't want to deny the sins caused by her own stupidity, and now, she no longer blamed Anser and Marina for the disaster that happened in Scarlet Frost City.

She only blames the aristocrat's stinginess, greed, depravity and corruption; she only blames herself for being stupid and arrogant, not only making self-righteous demands, but also failing to see through the exquisite illusion that Hydera has prepared for her.

And Sitana's recognition of her mistakes and stupidity does not conflict with her boundless hatred of Hydera.

If, if at that moment, Hydera stopped that topic... Sitana would choose to automatically forget everything he said, preferring to immerse herself in the beautiful dream he created for herself.

But Hydera didn't, he didn't have the slightest emotion for himself, so arrogantly and happily told her that everything he experienced was his arrangement, his own thinking, his emotions, all in his hands.

As if to appreciate the moment when he was completely desperate, he killed the former Sitana without any nostalgia for her.

That Sitana who was already inseparable from Hydera, and will never be able to leave Hydera.

Apart from playing around with himself as a plaything, what kind of mentality can make Hydera do such a thing?Even if he really has the slightest affection for him, shouldn't he accept that he abandons everything and is no different from a dog's allegiance?

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

Staring at the shadowed face, Sitana murmured in disgust and sorrow:

"Hydera, Anser. You never... never cared about me."

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

"...Do you really think so?"

Sitana didn't speak, just let go of her hand, stood up, and stopped looking at Hydera, as if he didn't exist.

"Hey……"

Hydera looked at the girl's back and seemed to want to say something, but in the end she just sighed.

He stood up, patted his clothes lightly, bowed slightly and said, "I'll see you tomorrow, Sitana."

"Whatever you want, you can continue to torture me to your heart's content."

Xitana said blankly: "To satisfy your boring desire, heh, is this the only value I have left for you?"

Hydera smiled:

"But you seem to be willing."

Sitana was slightly taken aback, she turned her head to look at the blurred face, her pupils dilated slightly, and suddenly walked quickly towards Hydera.

But just took a step, and the figure of the devil disappeared.

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

Hydera disappeared in Sitana's dream as always, but Sitana still wants to continue her cold and cruel life in reality.

Chapter 74·The End of Childhood·Part 1 ([-]W)

"Hiss... Xier, how much coal does your family have?"

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

"...Four or five days is enough."

Sitana, with her bow fully drawn, didn't have any emotional fluctuations, and the sharp point of the arrow pointed somewhere in the forest.

"Hey, it's troublesome. Everyone's coal is not enough."

Ruiyota said with a sad face: "In this weather, it is impossible to have no coal."

Sitana was silent for a moment, then whispered:

"Haven't we all come here before?"

"Huh? Xier, didn't you also say that was in the past?"

"..."

Sitana didn't speak, and Riyota thought she was hunting seriously, so she didn't know what she was thinking.

In fact, no one knows what Sitana is thinking, everyone only knows that she is working hard for the village.

The reason why she didn't expect it was because after yesterday, Xitana seemed to stop smiling. She became serious, but it didn't seem serious, but a kind of... hidden irritability.

It's just that seeing Hitana working so hard, everyone in the village is also working hard to make a good impression of her in the eyes of Lord Hydera.

Ruiyota was afraid that Sitana would be under too much pressure, so she often accompanied Sitana to chat with her and relieve her boredom without interfering with Sitana's work. .

Whoosh—!

In the silence, the whistling sound of the arrow piercing through the air startled Riyota, and almost at the same time, the muffled sound of the arrow piercing into the flesh and blood was heard at the same time.

Xitana silently carried the bow and arrow on her back, strode towards the forest, and dragged out a rabbit with dry fur and not fat.

Riyota didn't disappoint, and happily said to Xitana: "It's so fast! It's great!"

"..." Xitana shook her head, "This kind of snow rabbit that didn't store enough food for hibernation and ran out to look for food after being too hungry is not worth a lot of money."

"Hey, that's okay, just let Lord Hydera know that Xi'er is working hard."

Ruiyota put her hands on her hips and said carelessly: "Anyway, just relying on hunting is not enough for the village... Well, I feel that no one in the family—"

"Why not enough!"

Xitana, who was holding snow rabbit ears, suddenly raised her voice and turned her head to stare at Riyota.

"For so many years... How did we come here for so many years? Did it all depend on the nobles to send this to that!"

"I... I didn't mean that either."

Riyota was frightened by Hitana. Hitana has a bad temper and is always angry, but in fact her temper comes and goes quickly. As a top smoothhair player, Riyota knows how to coax Hitana.

But this time, Ruiyota took a small step back involuntarily. This close friend who had lived with her for 16 years in front of her actually made her feel... scared.

"...Sorry, Jota."

Xitana lowered her eyes and said softly, "Don't take it to heart."

"Um... ah, well, it's nothing."

Ruiyota scratched her head, she really didn't take it very seriously, but Xitana's state made her a little worried.

"How about, let's go back today." The girl asked tentatively.

Sitana looked down at the snow rabbit in her hand, wondering what she was thinking.

After a long time, she smiled at Ruiyota: "It's okay, you go back first, I will hunt for a while."

"Then I won't go back, I will accompany Xi'er."

Ruiyota said without thinking: "Don't worry, it won't affect you."

"……Um."

The day after the nobles stopped sending resources, Sitana hunted four animals, totaling two silver coins.

And a tiny magic crystal that can support the heating circle to run for six hours needs a gold coin.

That night, Sitana dreamed of Hydra again.

He was still uttering the same old, phony kind words, and Sitana was unmoved.

She felt that she deserved to be indifferent.

*

On the third day after the aristocrats stopped sending resources, one family ran out of coal because they had a newborn and had to keep the heat source 24 hours a day. Those in the village who still had a surplus of coal evened out a little, but they couldn’t last long.

Hitana changed her mind. She came to the mercenary union in Blackwater City, trying to find some high-paying jobs, but registration required payment first, and Hitana didn't want to ask for money from the village, so she took private jobs.

"No, the guy in the house."

The employer, who was wearing a thick padded jacket, pouted: "Help me get the money back, ten silver coins."

Sitana glanced at her employer, then walked towards the dilapidated house he was referring to with a blank expression.

As soon as the door was pushed open, a huge iron rod slammed down on Xitana's head from the side.

而她则看也不看地一脚侧踢，将埋伏者的右侧肋骨几乎全部踢断。外&%群%5<１<=7}8>8}>0%7}#6*}1=

Amidst the shrill screams, Sitana stared at the guy who opened the door for her in front of her. His dark red eyes were icy cold and dead, glowing with cruelty that had never been aimed at humans before.

"You and the guy outside have an agreement?" she said.

"I...I don't know...vomit!"

Sitana punched him in the liver: "Yes, or not?"

"Yes, yes! Big sister! Big sister is merciful!"

The gangster knelt down and howled in pain while begging for mercy: "Roford is with us...he said he could trick a little girl to come here...you go find him!"

"I will." Xitana kicked the gangster without any sympathy, "How much money do you have here?"

"……what?"

boom!

The white and tender fist, which seemed slender and delicate, wiped the bastard's cheek, and smashed into the floor.

"I'm asking you." The wolf's pupils were slightly distorted, and the tyranny was unreservedly exuded through her eyes and words, "How much money do you have here?"

Five minutes later, Sitana left the house with 5 silver coins and 31 copper coins, and 57 minutes later, she politely received her due reward from her employer.

In that house, she found a basement full of torture instruments and a female skeleton in a corner, so she threw the employer's body in there by the way.

After leaving Red Frost City, she has endured a lot of malice, and she is used to plundering lives.

On the way back to the village, the girl looked at the bulging purse in her hand and suddenly felt sick.

——She felt extremely disgusted at this moment because she had the idea of ​​"the money will come quickly this way".

Xitana vetoed the idea of ​​continuing to eat gangsters, and planned to use a small amount of the money to register as mercenaries starting tomorrow.

"Everyone, I transferred so many silver coins today!"

Hitana, who returned to the village, smiled and shook the purse in her hand.

"Oh! As expected of Sitana! Amazing!" A young man's eyes widened. "You can earn so much gold in one day...huh? Silver coins?"

The muscles under Xitana's face twitched slightly: "Yes, silver coins, what's wrong?"

"Oh, oh... I thought it was gold coins, er, I didn't mean too few, I mean... When the village was rebuilt before, the baron paid for us with big bags of gold coins, I thought it was wrong. "

"Hey, it doesn't matter, gold coins and silver coins don't matter."

Someone lazily said: "The more money Xier earns, the more powerful she is in the eyes of Lord Hydera, isn't she? According to this progress, we will be able to rely on Lord Hydera to live a good life again within two days."

"Yes! We must help Xier well!"

"..."

Xitana tried her best to maintain a smile on her face. She distributed the money to the people in the family who had the most resources in short supply, and walked home in response to everyone's call.

In order not to see Hydera again, she didn't sleep tonight.
