Rejected the Demon’s Marriage Proposal Thousands of Times

After Anna left the earl's house, she left behind the bad things inside.

In this other world, at least her family is lovely.

Anna just walked to Pomegranate Lane, but saw Mark holding a bunch of flowers in front of her, and smiled and handed it over: "Anna, for you!"

Anna was taken aback, and said helplessly: "Didn't you say you don't have to send it anymore?"

Mark was also a little surprised: "When did you say that?"

Anna just wanted to answer, when she suddenly thought of something, she asked him: "You didn't send the flowers that were placed at my door before?"

Mark shook his head uncertainly.

Anna suddenly understood that the person who sent flowers to her house a few days ago but did not show up was probably little Tim. Because Mark sent the flowers before, she thought it was given by Mark, but like this time, Mark sent the flowers in person. I didn’t see him hiding because of shyness. He put the flowers in front of her house and he did it This practice of hiding is more like little Tim's character.

Anna took the flowers that Mark gave herself and smiled at him: "Thank you this time, but you don't have to send me flowers anymore."

Mark smiled honestly: "Don't you like this? I can bring you something else next time."

Anna shook her head: "I mean, don't waste time on me. I am still young and have no plans to get married soon."

Anna was straightforward. Of course, Mark wouldn’t misunderstand him. He showed disappointment, scratched his head, and thought for a while before saying, “I’m still young, so I’m not in a hurry to get married... When you want to get married, can you consider me? ?"

Anna chuckled, thinking he was a little cute, nodded and said, "Okay."

Mark smiled and left with satisfaction.

Anna was in a good mood. When she went home, she cooled down when she saw the sad look on Guy's face. She hurriedly asked: "Mom, what's the matter with you?"

Guy looked at Anna with a sad face, and sighed before saying, "Bobby has been here today."

Bobby?

The butcher who beat his wife to death without receiving any punishment?

A bad premonition rose in Anna's heart and watched Guy waiting for her next words.

Gay said upset: "He wants you to marry her."

Anna did not show fierce emotions, she knew that Guy would not agree.

"Mom, did you reject him? What else did he say?" Anna sat next to Guy and asked seriously.

She realized the possible risks in this.

Guy nodded: "He...he said he will marry you. When your father comes home, we will discuss what to do."

Anna had no other way for the time being. After playing with Adele and Little Evan for a while, she slept for a while, and only got up when her father Evan came home from get off work.

Evan is a silent and honest man, because of his working hours, Anna rarely sees him, let alone talks to him.

Jem, Adele, and Little Evan all slept in the room, and Anna, Evan, and Guy sat in the master bedroom to discuss.

"Goddess, why did Bobby fall in love with Anna?" Guy's face was sad.

"Bobby went to the tavern just now." Evan said.

Both Anna and Guy looked at him, and Evan continued: "He...he said that if he doesn't marry Anna to him, he will make me lose my job."

That's bad enough.

Anna took a deep breath, lest she be too angry and irritated.

Bobby, a domestic violence man, is obviously a rascal. Anna had tried to prevent him from beating his children before, but he was pushed down. Violence seems to be engraved in Bobby's genes. He habitually uses violence to solve problems, beating his wife and children, and now threatens Evan with violence.

"Anna, don't worry. Mom and Dad will not be threatened by Bobby." Guy noticed Anna's expression and rushed to appease her.

Anna nodded: "I know, Mom and Dad treat me best."

She paused, and then said: "It doesn't matter if Bobby makes my father lose his job for a while, I still have a job as a maid in Earls Court, and the monthly salary is enough for us to survive."

Because of this, even though Anna was upset, she didn't panic.

The "worries" when you have money are not of the same magnitude as the "worries" when you don't have money.

Evan and Guy were both upset about Bobby's affairs, but Anna's words gave them some comfort.

As long as Anna continues to work in Earls Court, the life of that family can be guaranteed. Bobby might have caused Evan to lose his job, but he couldn't reach the Earls Court.

In the end, the three of them did not reach a solution, but reached a consensus to wait and see the changes. Anna's job now gives them confidence.

It's just that Anna has a secret worry-there are even more maddening and dangerous demons in the earl's mansion, and I don't know if it will affect her work.

Anna hadn't left Pomegranate Lane the next day, but was stopped by Bobby who didn't know how long she was waiting for her.

Bobby was a butcher, a burly man, in his thirties, with a fierce face, and he could smell the stench of wine coming from him when he approached.

Seeing Anna, Bobby's eyes lit up, his triangular eyes narrowed, and he said drunkly: "Little Anna, I haven't noticed before. You have grown into a beautiful big girl. Tsk tsk, I can't wait to You married home!"

Anna took two steps back in disgust, coldly said, "Get out of the way!"

"Oh, my temper is still great." Bobby laughed, and his face suddenly became gloomy in the next moment, "No matter how great the temper, you will be obedient after a fight."

Anna was disgusted, but it was a pity that she didn't have a weapon in her hand, even if she had a stone.

A door creaked open next to him, and Mark came out with a big iron hammer and glared at Bobby: "Don't go crazy in front of someone else's house early in the morning!"

He waved a huge hammer easily, and the heavy hammer seemed to fly out and hit people at any time.

Bobby is also very burly, but he is a bit worse than the young and muscular Mark. In addition, he is now drunk and can’t even stand. It’s okay to bully a little girl, but it’s nothing against Mark. There was no chance, so he glared at Mark and walked away griefly.

Mark saw Bobby leaving before he walked to Anna. He hid the big hammer behind him and smiled slyly at her: "Don't worry, I will be here when you go to work in the morning."

Anna said gratefully: "Thank you!" She paused, and then went on to say, "You wait for me here at 7:30 in the evening."

Mark did not ask Anna what she wanted to do, and readily agreed.

Anna didn't want to do anything. She just planned to use the copper money she saved to buy some delicious food to express her gratitude to Mark. It is normal to get the help of a colleague at work, and it is normal to ask a colleague to have a meal.

…Well, except for the evil "help" that the devil had done.

Until the earl's mansion, Anna still pretended to be forced to marry by Bobby.

Everyone is a commoner, and Bobby can of course be so unscrupulous, but if she becomes a noble...no, even if she is tested to be the body of holy light or the affinity of natural elements, Bobby dare not mess around again.

Anna spent most of the morning worrying about it, and when she delivered breakfast to Parrish, she was not surprised to see Ulysses possessed by the demon as well.

"Dear Anna, you are more dazzling and moving today than yesterday." Without thinking about it, Parrish blurted out compliments.

Anna, who didn't sleep well yesterday so that dark circles under her eyes were about to grow under her eyes, murmured irritably, "You are blind," and she thanked her perfunctorily: "Thank you, Master Parrish, you are more handsome than yesterday. "

Parish supported his chin and watched Anna's neat movements. His brilliant smile made his handsome face even more charming, but he just raised his hand to touch Anna's long hair, but she seemed to twist her body inadvertently. , Avoiding his hand, then stepped aside.

—After discovering this person's abnormality, how could Anna not prepare early?

Anna knew that Parrish's actions were not considered abnormal in the eyes of people in this era, but could be called suave and suave.

But of course she has to do things according to her own standards.

Rothgarh watched Anna's actions by the side, and said nothing.

He wanted to see what she was doing now.

Parrish only thought that Anna happened to avoid his hand, and he didn't care, chatting with Rotgar and eating an exquisite breakfast.

After eating breakfast, Anna was still guarding Parrish, and she packed her things quickly, and left with her food box.

Rothgar didn't want to develop any friendship with Parrish, he came over twice in a row, purely to see Anna, so as soon as Anna left, he got up to leave, Parrish couldn't stop him.

Only when Rothgar walked into the small garden and saw Anna waiting alone from the back, he smiled clearly.

Waiting really makes sense. Isn't she unable to take action anymore?

Rothgar pretended not to notice Anna, and turned a small angle, so that he would not run into Anna when he walked forward.

Anna waited here to see the demon, and after she turned around and found him, she hurried after him.

"Honorable Master Ulysses!" Anna ran to the devil, and stopped him respectfully and eagerly.

It was not that Rothgar really didn't want to pay attention to her. He stopped and looked at her coldly, waiting for her to speak first.

Anna took a deep breath to ease the rapid heartbeat, and then said: "My lord, I heard that you have to postpone your departure due to your injury. Does your injury matter?"

"Just rest for a few days." Rotgar said, he still likes to take the initiative, so he asked, "You waited for me here specially because you changed your mind?"

Anna hesitated, of course she didn't change her mind. Doesn't she look like someone who doesn't want to live?

It's just that she wants to come... scalloped wool.

If anyone learns that she is planning to sap a demon's wool, she will probably praise her as a dead end.

But what else can she do?

All the people she knows are civilians, and only the mage possessed by the devil is the highest-ranking person she knows, and he can also spell!

Anna had been avoiding this demon before, and it was because she took the initiative to approach him.

She hesitated, wasn't it because she thought that cheating a demon was against her principles of dealing with things, and that the other party wanted her soul. Isn't it too much for her to use him a little bit?

She hesitated, but worried that in the process of using the devil, she would overturn the car.

But thinking of the drunken Bobby she met this morning, Anna settled down.

She has grasped the perfunctory method of demon, under normal circumstances, will not capsize, but in the face of Bobby, she has no rules to use.

"No, I still think that as a maid, I can't shame your reputation." Anna hesitated and put on a sincere face, "I just want to beg you with a cheeky, can you stay here temporarily? Teach me to read."

Rotgar heard this and fell into contemplation.

Teach her to read? What is the purpose of this?

Her attitude towards Parrish seemed a bit ambiguous, and Ulysses, who was possessed by him, refused his marriage proposal, but refused to stay away, and still found reasons to join in.

Is it so ambitious? Want both?

Rothgar frowned in disgust, his eyes moved to the distance, and he said, "Why do you want to be literate?"

Anna will answer every question: "This is very good for my future."

Anna wants to learn literacy for two reasons. One is that becoming a mage is her long-term goal, and how can an illiterate become a mage? So she learned the prerequisite skills first.

The second reason is to find a solution to her current plight. She learned literacy from this genius mage, and she nominally had the kind of affection that she felt like a master and apprentice. After it was spread out—of course she would contribute to the spread of this matter wide enough—bobby wanted to attack her again, and he would always be cautious. two.

Rothgar raised his brows.

future? Where does she come from in the future.

"What good is that for me?" He asked her with mockery in his eyes.

Anna thought to herself, wouldn’t it be a great advantage to give you more opportunities to deceive my soul?

She lowered her head and whispered: "There is no good at present. But I know that I will not be just a maid in the future. I will remember your kindness today, and I will definitely return it to you in the future."

Anna said, almost telling the demon not to act, she had seen through him a long time ago.

But she held back.

She didn't know what the devil wanted other than her soul. If the only thing that worked for him was the soul, she didn't have any bargaining chip to talk to him about the conditions that she could give him more benefits by leaving her life.

Rothgar curled his lips slightly, bewildered: "As long as you nod your head, you won't be a maid from now on."

Yes, it is indeed not a maid, but a corpse without a soul!

Anna murmured in her heart, and said in a serious tone: "There are tens of thousands of paths leading to my goal, but I only want to take the path I choose."

What do you want to achieve?

Rothgar frowned slightly and looked at Anna for a long time.

At this time, she was not at all like the clever and cunning human woman who disgusted him with a deep scheming and seduce one nobleman after another just to get rid of his low status.

But for a moment, Rotgar suddenly came back to his senses.

He almost forgot, this human woman is very good at pretending, how could he be fooled by her?

In the past, Rotgar would deliberately want to meet Anna's "expectations" in order to achieve his own goals. This time, it is reasonable to say that Anna brought it up by himself, and he should agree to it without hesitation.

but-

"If you want to go your own way, don't count on the help of others." Rothgar said indifferently, "I won't teach you literacy."

Whether she is true or false, she wants to go her own way? Never imagine, the road in front of her was the only one he pointed out for her.
