Chapter 35: CH 16.1

Spreading Rumors (1)

Anna had been mentally prepared for the demon’s rejection, but she was still disappointed.

She just doesn't want to be illiterate anymore. Why was it so difficult!

Anna wanted to say a few more pleading words, but seeing the demon's expression, she quickly lowered her gaze, not daring to say any more.

She endured her disappointment and bowed her head in salute: "I understand what you mean. I'm sorry to take up your precious time."

When she turned and left, the image of her back was a bit bleak.

Rothgarr watched Anna until her back disappeared. His mood improved a lot in the past few days.

She refused his marriage proposal so many times, but this time it was his turn to say "no" to her.

She should have a good taste of this feeling.

Anna's dispiritedness did not last long; afterall, it was not a big deal to be rejected. If she could not take advantage of the demon, she could think of other ways.

Wasn’t there a Young Master Parrish?

She just didn’t know if he was literate or illiterate...

During the break, Anna's plastic friends came over to chat with her again.

Before, Anna thought that everyone was a commoner, and she didn't think about asking them for help, but when she saw them, she had some thoughts. She didn't  beat around the bush; she first talked about her family's situation, and then directly asked about their family situation.

The three of them did not shy away from their family situation. On the other hand, they talked a lot, and seemed very proud that their job in the earl’s manor could support their whole family.

Abigail, Kelly, and Fiona's family situation was not much worse than that of Anna’s. There were many children in their family, but many of them had passed away. Their parents worked hard and did not earn too much money. The life of their family gradually improved only after they entered the earl's mansion.

On the topic of the siblings who had passed away in their family, the four of them were a little depressed. Fiona clapped her hands and said, "Okay, don't think too much about it. They have returned to the embrace of the goddess of light and eat white bread, grilled meat, and drink the sweetest milk every day in the land of the gods. We should be happy for them."

The other two nodded in agreement. Although Anna didn't believe this way of thinking, she wasn’t disheartened.

The four of them talked as usual and then dispersed. Anna swallowed her thoughts after learning about their family situation.

Everyone's family background was similar. They couldn’t help, so there was no need to say it in vain.

After being able to get out of bed and walk around, Parrish prefered to have lunch and dinner with his father, so Anna was quite free.

She didn't leave the kitchen, and the demon didn't take the initiative to find her, so she was relaxed for the rest of the day.

When she got off work and returned home, Anna still remembered the agreement with Mark, and on the way home, she bought white bread and other food that could rarely be afforded by the low-level civilians as a way to express her gratitude to Mark.

The next day, when Parrish was delivering food, the demon was still there. Anna hesitated for a moment, but after Parrish finished her meal, she made a request.

"Young Master Parrish, can you teach me to read?"

Anna didn't want to worry about what the demon thought at this time; she just wanted to find a "backer" for herself. Whether it was the demon-Ulysses or Parrish who would teach her literacy, they were both nobles, and Bobby would have to think twice before thinking.

Since the demon refused to teach her and gave up this opportunity to get closer to her and deceive her trust, then she would immediately jump into the arms of another man. This wasn’t too excessive, was it?

Parrish was taken aback. He didn't expect Anna to make such a request. He coughed lightly, smiled and asked, "Dear Anna, why do you suddenly want to become literate?"

Anna replied respectfully: "Because I don't want to be just a maid forever."

Parrish raised an eyebrow and smiled: "My dear, I appreciate your ambition. It's just that I don't have the ability to teach others. I'm sorry, I can't help you with this."

Anna hurriedly said: "Young Master Parrish, I learn things very fast, you only need to give me a little bit of advice. It would even be enough to tell me the correspondence between language and text."

Excluding kindergarten, Anna had been in school for sixteen years anyway, she still had this confidence.

Parrish smiled, shook his head slightly, and refused, "No, my dear, I can't be a teacher."

He paused and suggested: "You can ask Ulysses."

Rothgarr looked out the window as if he hadn't heard him.

Anna thought, if this demon hadn't refused, why would she come to Parrish?

Speaking of which, both of them refused to teach her; could it be because they were actually illiterate?

Although Parrish was a nobleman, not every nobleman was literate, and words and knowledge passed down by words were scarce resources in this world. Nobility was mainly passed down by blood. There was no strict requirement for knowledge, and it did not matter if you were illiterate.

And the demon... wasn’t even a human. Wasn’t it normal to be illiterate?

Of course, the original mage Ulysses mage was definitely literate himself; mages were the group with the highest level of knowledge in the world.

This demon was really a reckless waste of grain! Such a good mage, after being possessed by him, became illiterate!

Anna lowered her head and said, "Thank you Young Master Parrish, I'm sorry to take up your time."

As she said this, she packed everything up. She did not listen to Parrish's advice of asking the demon.

It was fine if they didn’t want to teach her. Did they think that she couldn’t spread the rumors if they didn’t teach her?
