Sick (1)

Anna was new here, and she didn’t know how to find a priest. She could only go back to the kitchen and find Rebecca. She briefly explained the matter to Rebecca, and the latter, who had always been upright, was also taken aback. Rebecca didn’t have time to ask any more; she hurried to find the housekeeper.

What happened after that didn't have much to do with Anna. The butler hurriedly sent someone to find Father Louis. This was the privilege the lord and his family had when they were sick; the priest could be called directly.

When Father Louis came, Anna looked from a distance. He was a chubby middle-aged man with sparse blond hair. It seemed that even God could not save hair loss. His expression of compassion was no different from that of the clergy in Anna's imagination.

Earl Wilson had arrived early then the priest, and was nervously watching over Parrish. After all, Parrish was the only son and heir he had. He also liked this son very much and didn't want anything to happen to him.

Anna was guarding outside, listening to the movement with her ears upright, but after listening for a long time, she didn't hear any shouts like "Demon, I will destroy you on behalf of the goddess". She remained calm and quiet until Earl Wilson smiled and dismissed Father Louis.

……That’s it?

And then the demon would be vaporized?

Considering that the demon had not shown too much power, Anna couldn't help but think optimistically, that the demon may be one little demon out of many others demons, and was on the weaker side. Father Louis must have vaporized him out as soon as he saw him, and that was why there wasn’t much commotion in the room.

With this hopeful thinking, Anna approached Waldo and said that she wanted to go and clear the table of utensils.

After Young Master Parrish felt better, Waldo had calmed down. He nodded in agreement, and brought Anna in.

Anna pretended to be worried and asked: "Young Master Parrish is all right? What happened just now had frightened me to death."

Waldo also looked relieved: "Young Master Parrish is okay, Father Louis has cured him with holy healing, but he is still recuperating."

Holy healing! It sounded very righteous and domineering. Then it shouldn’t be difficult to kill a demon, right?

Anna became more excited, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with Young Master Parrish? I just thought he fell sick because of something wrong with the food, which scared me to death."

Waldo shook his head and said: "Father Louis said that it has nothing to do with the food. He said there was a dark power that existed in his body, which happened to break out at that time. He has used the power of holy healing to eliminate the dark power, and the young master was fine after that."

The dark power! Wiped out!

Had Waldo not been there, Anna would almost have lit up in joy.

She suppressed the excitement that was surging in her chest, and showed a worried expression on her face: "Can I see Young Master Parrish? I’ll just take a look at the bedroom door. I won't go in."

Waldo wanted to refuse, but remembered that Young Master Parrish would ask Anna to bring breakfast every time, and that he also proposed to Anna. Thinking of this, he didn’t refuse, and led Anna to the bedroom door.

At the door of the bedroom, she could see the bed where Parrish was lying. There were veils hanging around the bed, so she couldn't see the person in the bed clearly, but Anna’s heart fell down into her stomach with just one glance.

She couldn't see the person lying on the bed clearly, but the gloomy and substantive dark aura of the devil was surrounding him, which she could see very clearly even with the veil in the way.

That demon didn’t even the slightest bit frail or weak, let alone vaporized!

Anna was in a bad mood. She exited the bedroom, packed up her things, and left in a hurry.

When she mistakenly believed that the demon was vaporized, Anna had a thought. If the priest really destroyed the demon, then she, an atheist, would also change her belief, as long as the Goddess of Light was really protecting the world.

But she was too disappointed!

The priest didn't even notice the existence of the demon.

Hearing what Waldo said, what ‘wiped out the dark power that existed in the body’... She surmised that Father Louis might have used Holy Healing to cut out Young Master Parrish!

Anna thought about asking for help from the church before, but what happened today had disappointed her too much.

Fortunately, with what happened today, she knew that it was useless to ask a priest for help, and she didn't have the extravagant hope that the demon could be destroyed by God.

Sure enough, there had never been such a thing as a savior; one could only rely on oneself. Time and tide wait for no man.

One of the advantages of Father Louis's visit to Parrish was that it was clear that Parrish wasn’t poisoned through his food, so Anna did not have to worry about being framed as a murderer.

Because the demon was resting, Anna, who only needed to deliver breakfast once a day a few days ago, had to take on the responsibility of delivering lunch and dinner.

While the kitchen was specially preparing lunch for Young Master Parrish alone, Anna was outside for some fresh air when approached by Abigail and her group.

Anna found that the three of them were like Siamese twins; they were always together when they came to see her.

The three of them had already heard about Young Master Parrish's illness, and with a worried expression on their faces, they asked Anna about the situation.

Anna simply explained that Young Master Parrish was okay, and the three recovered their smiles.

Anna wanted to hear more about mages from their mouths, but the kitchen had already prepared lunch, so she had to wait for next time to ask.

As she passed the small garden, Anna found that there seemed to be a person in the usually quiet place.

At first, she thought that the demon was feeling better and came out for a stroll, but only when she got closer did she realize that it was a very strange man with pale blonde hair. The man had his back towards her, his black robe with bronzing edges almost mopping the floor.

Anna had never seen this man, but his unique dress made her think.

Was this person... the four-star mage living in the earl's mansion? That young genius?

According to the etiquette taught by Rebecca, Anna should leave quickly at this moment, but she was truly too curious about mages.
