Chapter 52: Seraphina’s Brand New Ambition
Startled, Seraphina sprang up from the bed, her expression filled with terror.
She first thoroughly checked herself from head to toe, and after a sigh of relief, her expression remained horrified.
What did I say yesterday! What did I tell that bastard Hydral!
Seraphina’s robust body, devoid of blind spots, represented her extraordinary memory. Even though she was exhausted to the point of fainting, she remembered every word and every character she had said clearly.
“AHHHHH!”
The young wolf girl curled up in the blanket and screamed, “How could this happen! This is not right! It shouldn’t be like this! Calm down, Seraphina, calm down…”
“Did Hydral secretly poison me, or did he use some strange tool that I don’t know about… probably not.”
“It seems like I wanted to say those words myself, I wanted to say…”
Thinking of this, Seraphina hammered her head fiercely, completely ignoring the soreness in her body.
“Why would I want to say those words! Damn it! No! Calm down again, Seraphina!”
The girl forced herself to calm down again, this time she didn’t think about those irrelevant things, but directly faced her complex emotions and words at that time.
“That feeling… the reason I said those words to Hydral.”
Seraphina, with a slightly red face, sat cross-legged, trying to stay calm: “I felt that he was very good to me at that time… okay, I admit that he has always been good to me, every time I’m unlucky it’s my own fault!”
“Every time he scolds me, he will talk about some principles, although I don’t want to listen… but it’s quite useful, he always tolerates me, and he never lies to me… even Marli would lie to me!”
“So… so…”
Seraphina’s eyes suddenly brightened, and her clenched fist hit her palm forcefully, she had understood, understood everything, it must be like this!
“Yes! I consider him as family! Absolutely!”
“Is this what it feels like to have a brother… bah! I don’t have such a scheming brother!”
After understanding her complex emotions at that time, Seraphina became a little melancholy again.
Ansel’s silence at that time, representing absolute honesty, made her feel helpless and relieved.
“He has to do bad things.”
The girl was very upset and hammered the bed board: “I have bowed my head so low, and he doesn’t even open his mouth… hey.”
Seraphina really couldn’t understand why Ansel just wouldn’t be a little more upright?
If you want fame, just do practical things, why do you have to… wait, wait a minute.
The young wolf scratched her chin, “It seems he was indeed doing something practical… Why was I inexplicably irritated with him before? Hypocrisy aside, he did accomplish something.”
She carefully recalled her previous dissatisfaction with Ansel, “The intention itself was malicious, the outcome wouldn’t be good… Oh right, that’s why!”
The Seri-puppy didn’t even know how she came up with such a compelling reason at the time. Now that she thought about it, it didn’t seem wrong.
Sitting on the bed, she fell silent for a moment, finally sighing, “So, I must oppose Hydral after all.”
Just as Ansel would never lie to Seraphina, Seraphina’s nature would not waver due to her changing feelings towards Ansel.
Having little contact with the outside world and often oppressed by various harsh policies, she had been hunting with beasts for years.
Therefore, the wildness rooted in her soul made her concepts of good and evil, her way of thinking, as pure and simple as the survival of the fittest in the animal kingdom, extremely binary.
Without the careful guidance of her parents and Marlina, she might have become a super egoist far more terrifying than any “villain”.
In short, Seraphina, who had not experienced countless tragic events in the original world line, didn’t need to talk about growth. Only brutal and cruel things with great impact could change her concepts. Just like Ansel’s initial evaluation of her, well… she’s a RETARDED.
“The plan must continue, continue… Yes, use the image crystal to spy on the Count of Stoneheart, and his meeting starts tomorrow, no, today.”
The girl who was counting on her fingers fell silent.
“Today!?”
She screamed and jumped up, trying to jump off the bed, but due to the intense pain in her body, she tripped over her own feet and fell to the ground.
“Hiss… huff… hiss…”
Seraphina, who had no idea how long she had been lying down, couldn’t care less about the pain. She was afraid that she had missed the meeting held by the Count of Stoneheart. This was one of the few times Hydral showed his weakness. If she missed it, she didn’t know when the next opportunity would be!
Seraphina, in a hurry, put on her clothes haphazardly, reached into her pocket, and her heart sank.
Where’s the crystal? Where’s my crystal?! I grabbed a whole handful of them!
The coat pocket she wore out yesterday was empty, nothing left, which left Seraphina in a daze.
“Hydral… you wouldn’t be so cunning, would you!”
The girl who was pulling her hair was furious, “You said it was up to me if I wanted to oppose you!” .𝒎
She, who didn’t know what to do, was anxiously pacing around the room. After a round, she suddenly saw the things on the coffee table.
A piece of paper, a ring, a crystal, and a bottle of potion.
“Lord Hydral informed me that, Seri, the crystal you’ve brought back is not a boon, it’s not to be used lightly, yet he can provide you one. That ring, only those with extraordinary abilities can wear it. Lord Hydral did not disclose its effects to me, but he asked me to remind you to be mentally prepared before putting it on,” the letter read.
“He said, Seri, you are free to do as you wish, but you must remember his words.”
The writing on the paper stopped there, leaving a large gap before continuing:
“The above are the words Lord Hydral had for you, and I… Seri, I hope you will refrain from causing any more trouble for Lord Hydral.”
“You probably don’t want to hear those admonishing words, so I’ll only explain one thing to you.”
“If you continue to distress Lord Hydral, I will go to any lengths to secure his forgiveness.”
Seraphina finished reading the letter.
—And then completely disregarded Marlina’s threat.
Ha, what a joke, even Hydral himself said I could do as I please, Marlina, you’re such a busybody.
And going to any lengths, what are you going to do, tie me to Hydral’s bed?
The girl sneered, looking at the pale green potion on the table.
“Don’t forget his words… huh?”
The corners of the young wolf’s mouth curled up slightly: “Not allowing me to fail unprepared. Hmph, as if I could forget.”
She opened the potion bottle and drank it down without hesitation.
A refreshing sensation that made her skull feel cool spread from her throat throughout her body. Seraphina was overjoyed to find that the sour and numb pain she felt upon waking was rapidly fading. In just a few seconds, she would be back in perfect condition.
“Hehe, that guy never lies to me.” Seraphina, holding the brand new image crystal, laughed happily, then turned her gaze to the ring.
“…What does it mean that only extraordinary beings can wear it, and that I need to be mentally prepared for the ring. Forget it, I don’t need it now.”
She left the ring on the table, and as she was about to leave, she seemed to suddenly remember something. She rummaged through the storage cabinet in the room, found a simple telescope, her homemade smoke bomb, bell lure, odor remover, anesthesia blowpipe, and armed herself to the teeth.
“Everything’s ready… alright, let’s go!”
The young wolf, full of fighting spirit, pumped her fist.
“I will stop you, Hydral! From today on, let me help you change the Red Frost territory!”
