A Villain's Way of Taming Heroines

Seraphina Marlowe.

A peasant girl from a remote northern village, possessing nothing but beauty and extraordinary talent.

Violent, fierce, self-centered, and supremely arrogant.

Before being captured by the Count of Red Frost, Seraphina thought her life would remain unchanged, becoming a renowned hunter around the village, supporting her family with her own hands, and finding contentment in that.

Until that day arrived.

She opened her eyes to find herself lying naked on a bed, with a handsome young nobleman standing beside it, his azure eyes curiously observing her.

Thus began a myriad of transformations.

"What?" Marlina stared in astonishment at Seraphina, who was packing her bags. "Seri, you're going back?"

"Yep."

Seraphina, stuffing snacks into her backpack, wore an expression of inevitability: "I've spent enough time with Mom and Dad! They can't wait for me to return to Ansel's side, so I'll head back first, hehe~"

"And besides..."

She firmly fastened the buckle of her backpack and whispered conspiratorially:

"Marli, don't you think... Ansel is deliberately sending us away?"

"..."

Marlina opened her mouth, looking at her sister with even more incredulous eyes.

Seraphina, feeling the intense gaze, furrowed her brows and snorted in displeasure: "Hey! Don't look at me like that! My intuition is very sharp!"

...So it's still intuition.

The gentle secretary sighed with a mix of amusement and helplessness. She reached out, her delicate hand holding her beloved sister's hand, and softly said:

"Since you feel that Mr. Ansel is intentionally sending us away, why do you still want to go back?"

"...Huh?"

Experience tales at empire

Seraphina looked at Marli with a puzzled expression.

"I mean, Seri, if us staying away from him is Mr.Ansel's intention, then we should respect his wishes, shouldn't we?"

Marlina gazed at Seraphina, patiently explained: "He doesn't want us to stay by his side during this time, so we should remain in the village and wait for him to call us back. Isn't that the right thing to do?"

Marlina, who devoted herself entirely to Ansel, unconditionally obeyed his wishes, believing this to be the most correct behavior.

But Seraphina, after a few seconds of bewilderment, suddenly showed a look of realization:

"So that's what you think, Marli... I was wondering why you didn't understand something even I could sense."

Marlina smiled and ruffled Seraphina's hair: "Then let's stay and wait for Mr.Ansel's message. What do you want for lunch—"

Before she could finish, Seraphina had already slung her bulging backpack over her shoulder and jumped twice on the spot.

"Alright! I'm off then, see you in a few days, Marli!"

Miss Wolf swaggered towards the door, waving at Marli: "I'll tell Ansel you miss him a lot!"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"... Seri!"

Marlina immediately called out to her sister, who had just come to her senses. "Are you still planning to go back?"

"Yes, why?"

"Staying here is Mr.Ansel's wish."

"Ansel wouldn't send me away for no reason. He must have something very important to do. Don't you agree, Marli?"

Seraphina tilted her head slightly, her dark red eyes meeting Marlina's with a serious gaze.

"If you know that..." Marlina said earnestly, "then you shouldn't—"

"Then I should stay by Ansel's side even more!"

Seraphina interrupted without a second thought. "I need to help him! I am his pact head, after all!"

Marlina was momentarily stunned, her breath becoming unsteady as she looked at her determined and serious sister.

"You must understand, Seri," Marlina said, enunciating each word carefully, "Mr.Ansel knows better than anyone whether you can help him. If he hasn't asked you to stay by his side, it means you would only... only be a hindrance!"

These apparently harsh words did not provoke any displeasure from Seraphina. Instead, she responded even more earnestly, "If I'm wrong, I'll just correct it."

"You—"

"Marli, ever since we left the Red Frost territory and stayed in the capital, I haven't done anything to help Ansel... I'm not like you."

The young wolf looked down at her delicate palms and spoke softly, "I've been like a pet kept by Ansel, without even the chance to make mistakes."

"I know I'm a fool, but... but if I don't strive to learn and improve, if I remain as I am, a fool… how can I help Ansel?"

She grinned at her somewhat dazed sister. "So, even if it means making Ansel angry, I have to go! After all, there's nothing in this world that can truly endanger Ansel. If I mess up... he'll just scold me."

"Even though I'm wearing this," she said, fondly touching the collar around her neck, "I never intended to be Ansel's obedient pet."

The dominance and defiance of the Wolf Emperor had been etched into Seraphina's soul with the awakening of the Beast King.

"I can listen to everything Ansel says, but I can't... have no opinions of my own, right?" Seraphina's eyes sparkled. "So, I'm leaving! To help Ansel solve his problems! See you later, Marli!"

She waved one last time at Marlina and dashed out of her room, running towards the village outskirts.

Marlina stared blankly ahead for a long time before silently sitting on the edge of the bed, suddenly letting out a soft laugh.

"What is this... still as willful and self-centered as ever?"

Because there was nothing in this world that could threaten Ansel, making mistakes was inconsequential, and growing from them was beneficial.

This kind of thinking... Marlina could never agree with.

"You are wrong, Seri," she murmured, clenching her fists tightly.

"You are merely squandering Mr. Ansel's affection. That's all... just that."
