Chapter 111  Sisters’ Secret Talks - II

"$%^&*!@# —!!!"

A few seconds later, Seraphina was babbling incoherently in a mix of Red Frost territory dialects, local colloquialisms, and northern vernacular, in a state of utter disarray.

"It seems you haven't, alright, Seri, calm down... Seri!"

Marlina frowned, and with a heavy pat on her babbling and flustered sister, two waves were stirred up in the pool.

"Ouch!"

Seraphina let out a short, sharp cry, quickly covering the painful area, but at least she had calmed down.

"...Marli!" Miss wolf looked at her sister with teary eyes, "You've never said anything like this before!"

"Are you just now noticing that I've changed?" Marlina's slender and beautiful eyebrows raised slightly, "We're discussing a very serious topic, control yourself."

"Is this a very serious topic?" Seraphina, still rubbing her bottom, muttered under her breath.

"S·E·R·I."

"I-I-I-I'm listening!"

Marlina stared into Seraphina's eyes, indeed speaking in a serious tone about a serious topic: "The fact that Mr. Ansel hasn't taken you that far is a good thing."

"...A good thing?"

"Mr. Ansel's unique nature makes him both easily aroused and highly responsive to desire."

Marlina, who had meticulously interviewed and understood all the women in the mansion, said: "So that kind of behavior, for Mr. Ansel, has a certain degree of cathartic meaning, do you understand?"

Seraphina, who was not used to discussing such topics in a serious tone, still had red cheeks and scratched her face awkwardly: "U-understand, understand what?"

"... " Marlina sighed softly, "Catharsis, it means that even when doing that, Mr. Ansel won't invest too much emotion, it means that for him, it's just a rational necessity, nothing more."

"Mr. Ansel is a rational and powerful man. The closer I am to him, the more I feel that he is carrying something heavy that I can't touch, or even understand."

"Under such pressure, he might even dissect and seal away his own feelings until he has time to breathe, or until his own goals are achieved,"

"Even though Mr. Ansel always appears gentle and tolerant, when it comes to making decisions, no matter how cold and cruel the decision is, he won't hesitate at all."

Seraphina thought of the matter of coal aid and fell silent.

In retrospect, Seraphina was sure that Ansel didn't care about the lives of the poor as much as she had hoped, and that so-called good and evil were just illusions she had imposed on Ansel.

Ansel of Hydral, has never truly claimed to be good in the true sense, he just keeps moving towards his goal without hesitation.

However, Seraphina no longer had any objections to this. After experiencing so much and seeing her future self in Ansel's memory, Seraphina's view of good and evil was no longer as extreme as it was at the beginning; moreover, she realized that she never had the right to force Ansel to be good or evil.

If you want to do good, do it with your own ability; if you really want to change Ansel, first have the ability and capacity to match him.

— Seraphina had this realization when she returned to Red Frost territory.

"Returning to the original topic," Marlina continued, "Such matters, to a certain extent, serve as a form of catharsis for Mr. Ansel. Even if it is a catharsis, Mr. Ansel would never be arbitrarily rough. He cares deeply about the feelings of the woman, offering her respect."

"But Seraphina, you must understand one thing. Beneath this care and respect, its essence... is still a catharsis."

"Even if Mr. Ansel appears ever so gentle, his emotions will not fluctuate. Do you understand?"

Seraphina seemed to comprehend Marlina's words, nodding thoughtfully.

Marlina patted her head with a sense of relief, "The most dangerous thing is to lose oneself in Mr. Ansel's 'catharsis', even if you know that Mr. Ansel has no emotional involvement, but willingly become a tool, that would be too pitiful, Seri."

Her gaze lowered, her always calm tone rippled slightly:

"Seri, this world is not friendly to us women. Apart from the extraordinary beings, most women have to choose to rely on men throughout their lives. If it weren't for Mr. Ansel, I might have to find a reliable household to depend on this year or the next."

"Women who are forced by life and have nowhere to go have no choice, but we do, Seri."

She gently stroked Seraphina's cheek:

"So, don't let your worth only remain in that moment of pleasure. You are independent, a living person."

"What you should remember is your identity as a follower of Mr. Ansel; what you should be intoxicated with is the pride of bringing glory to Mr. Ansel. Not just playing a tool in his bed, that would not only be a disservice to Mr. Ansel's recognition and cultivation, but also the most ruthless trampling on yourself."

"So I say, it's a good thing that Mr. Ansel hasn't done anything to you, because he hasn't seen you as a mere object of desire."

"I see... hehe..."

The girl giggled with a flushed face, brimming with relief and happiness.

"So, so that means..." she pointed with her finger, speaking somewhat dreamily, "Ansel, he more or less... likes me, right?"

Marlina couldn't help but laugh, "Mr. Ansel has many people he likes, so don't get carried away because of this little liking, Seri."

This made Seraphina unhappy, she pouted and bumped into Marlina, "What do you mean Ansel likes many people... Does Ansel also like you, Marlina?"

"Of course." Marlina said matter-of-factly, "Mr. Ansel sees me as a woman."

Our Miss Seraphina was instantly anxious, she quickly grabbed Marlina's shoulders, shaking them back and forth, "Marli, you... you haven't done it with him, have you! I haven't even —"

"No."

Marlina patiently removed Seraphina's hand, "Mr. Ansel respects me. In his eyes, my abilities far outweigh the value of this body."

Her lips curled slightly, her admiration and love for him were unreserved.

"I am intoxicated by Mr. Ansel's recognition, and even more so by the cold rationality within this recognition."

"Therefore, I do not wish to become such a person, and have always been restraining the increasingly intense desire in my heart."

"Before I can give Mr. Ansel a satisfactory answer, I will continue to restrain myself."
