Rejected the Demon’s Marriage Proposal Thousands of Times Chapter 33.1
Bewitching the Holy Son (1)
Anna walked out of the small building where the demon lived and was stopped by Ulysses. She was more alert facing him than facing the demon.
At least now she had learned a method of getting along with the demon; all she had to do was resolutely reject when she was proposed to and then coax him to soothe his emotions———although she had never raised a child before, coaxing a demon and raising a child shouldn’t be too different.
"Anna, I will leave for home tomorrow. I need you to come home with me to help." Ulysses said.
He actually was still suspicious of the "split personality,” but the memory loss he had experienced was a fact, and the things he had done during that time being completely inconsistent with his character was also a fact. He couldn’t let this hidden danger be left alone.
Since Anna was practically there for almost all of his "amnesia", she was an important witness. He had to take her with him if he wanted to find out. Alone, he really didn’t know where to start, and he had to go home and ask his elders for help.
Anna looked surprised: "What help?"
"About the split personality that you said." Ulysses said, "I want to figure out the details. You know my personality best when I am the other persona."
"Sorry, I can't help you." Anna resolutely refused. "This is my hometown, I don't want to leave."
"I won't let you help in vain. As long as you are willing to assist me, I can give you ten gold coins. I’ll give them to you immediately after you agree." Ulysses said.
For ten gold coins, Anna would have to go ten years without eating or drinking to accumulate that much, and if she agreed to help, it would take less than half a year’s time to and back. This was a very cost-effective deal.
It had to be said that Anna coveted these ten gold coins very much.
With these ten gold coins, she could test for her affinity of the elements and officially begin her journey of becoming a mage. Dubian said that her talent was very good. Although she was a bit late in studying, she believed that with her talent and hard work, she could even surpass Ulysses.
Unfortunately, she had made up the dual personality, and plus, the demon was still here. How could she go? Besides, the nobles didn’t look highly upon civilians. If she really went with him, she felt like her life would be hanging by a thread.
"Master Ulysses, my family members are here, and they still need my care. Forgive me for not leaving with you." Anna said painfully.
Ulysses's expression remained unchanged, and he calmly increased the price: "Twenty gold coins. This is an amount that you will never be able to earn in your entire life."
But "you" once burned more gold coins than that for me…...
Anna endured the heartache and still refused the offer: "Master Ulysses, if I had a reason to stay here, ten gold coins would be more than enough for me to go with you. But there are some reasons more important than gold coins; even if you give me a hundred gold coins, I won't be tempted."
What she said was very contrary to her intentions. If he offered a hundred gold coins, how could she not be moved? It was a pity that she also had to have a life in order to spend it. Moreover, she truly was reluctant to leave her lovely family; the world was too unfriendly to civilians, and she wanted to take good care of them.
"Her reason is me."
A voice that seemed like it was suppressing its anger came from behind. Anna turned her head and saw the demon walking over coldly, his long silver hair drawing a dangerous arc in the air.
…...Great, this demon was going to ruin her and the Holy Son's reputation again.
Right now, the demon's body was no longer at the point where he would faint with a push. She couldn’t stop him from talking nonsense, only remedy the situation nervously: "I indeed want to stay behind to take care of the daily needs of the esteemed Holy Son."
In the eyes of outsiders, this responsibility was of course not necessarily only on her, but she couldn’t say that. If she said it, the demon would definitely say that it has to be her who took care of him, and the mess would get larger and larger.
But even though Anna deliberately did not want to go in that direction, Rothgarr would not do as she wished.
He looked at Ulysses and said with a cold face: "If you want to take Anna away, you have to ask my permission first."
Ulysses frowned and looked at Rothgarr with some surprise on his face. He was not interested in the usual rumours or gossip. He hadn't heard that someone had privately spread the rumors that Anna and the Holy Son had something going on which was why he specifically assigned her to serve him.
Therefore, he just said: "She is the maid of the earl estate. As long as she agrees, she can go with me."
Normally he would be unwilling to start conflict with the Holy Son, but because Anna had a significant relationship with him, he couldn’t avoid it.
"Great, she didn't agree, so you can scram." Rothgarr sneered. When he possessed others before, he did not deliberately imitate the personality of the one he possessed. At this moment, he was in a rage and wouldn’t care about whether or not Victor would speak like this.
