Rejected the Demon’s Marriage Proposal Thousands of Times Chapter 23.1

Holy Son in Danger (1)

When Earl Wilson was passing by with the Holy Son, Anna had already recovered from her shock. She roped in her excitement, stepped aside like Abigail and the others, and saluted respectfully.

Earl and his party walked straight by without paying attention to Anna.

As they walked away, the four of them came alive from their statue-like state.

Fiona said excitedly in a low voice, as if afraid they would hear, "Have you heard? The noble lord that passed just now seems to be a Holy Son!"

"I heard!" Abigail beamed with excitement. "The appearance of the Holy Son is really a gift from a goddess. How holy and pure! It feels blasphemous just looking at him for too long.”

They had never talked about the Holy Son before. Anna only learned of the existence of the Holy Son from Dubian. She whispered: "Why do you guys think the Holy Son would come here?"

"Hmm...like Master Ulysses, to stay temporarily?" Kelly thought of this possibility and was extremely excited. "Would I be able to see the beautiful and noble Holy Son every day?"

"Wow, if that’s true, that would be great!" Abigail clenched his fist and shouted.

Anna thought it was unlikely to be the case.

Ulysses was staying in the Earl's estate temporarily due to injury, most likely because there was no Mage Association in Blue Rock City. Earl Wilson and Ulysses seemed to have a very normal relationship. But there was a church in Blue Rock City. Why would the Holy Son of the Temple stay at a nobleman's manor instead of living at the church?

Therefore, she thought that the Holy Son was only here to visit and would leave soon.

Though, it would be nice if the Holy Son could do something about the demon before he left.

As Anna thought this, she glanced back inadvertently. She suddenly saw the demon standing not far away. She was shocked and almost yelped in fright.

Was he that dense? Did he not know how to hide from the Holy Son? don't know how to hide?

Although she had clearly locked eyes with the demon, Anna pretended not to see him, and quickly retracted her gaze.

Did the demon recognize the identity of the Holy Son? Did the Holy Son see the demon?

If the answers to these two questions were both yes, then she would have placed false hopes on the Holy Son.

But fortunately, she had been disappointed many times, and her emotions could still remain stable even if the Holy Son disappointed her this time.

Besides, she had long decided to rely on herself. If an outsider could help her scare away the demon, it would be a surprise. If not, wouldn't she still have herself?

Anna and the three others talked about the Holy Son while walking towards the kitchen, ignoring the demon who was not far away.

As for Rothgarr, he had discovered Anna's interest in the silver-haired man. She had made eye contact with him but pretended not to see him; obviously, this was the old saying about lovers, “in with the new, out with the old.” When he realized this, the anger in his chest would not go away.

How could there be such a fickle, greedy, and insatiable human woman! Didn’t she know that for some things, if it was missed, it would be gone forever?

But then Rothgarr quickly remembered that it seemed to be he himself who gave Anna the illusion that the things she had let slip could be retrieved again.

First, it was Parrish's proposal, and then right after was Ulysses's proposal. Then, even after she refused, both Parrish and Ulysses were still going in circles around her. How could this reality not increase her self-confidence?

She was probably thinking that even if she couldn’t win the silver-haired man, there was still a four-star mage and a son of the city lord waiting for her. She had a perfect plan B, so why not go for it?

After realizing this, Rothgarr became even more angry.

He wanted to make her regret this decision, but unfortunately, his end goal was her, which meant that he could not actually allow her to seduce others.

The more Rothgarr thought about it, the more aggrieved he became. It took a while for him to finally resist the urge to destroy something.

He decided to give Anna another opportunity to be observed. If she just simply appreciated him from afar, then whatever. If she really set her sights on the silver-haired man, then he would possess him. After he took her down, he would let her feel his wrath!

Anna, who was completely ignorant of everything, sent over Rothgarr’s lunch. He didn't behave unusually.

Before dinner, Anna heard something from the excited chatter of the kitchen maids. It turned out that the Holy Son was staying here and there would be a banquet to welcome him in the evening. Anna would be going home, so naturally she wouldn’t be able to see it. Because Ulysses, who was possessed by the demon, was also invited to the banquet, Anna didn't need to send dinner over to the demon. She could go home early instead.

Anna had been thinking about the Holy Son before seeing Dubian. It was really weird that he stayed in the Earl's estate.

When she saw Dubian, Anna asked him anxiously: "Dubian, there is a Holy Son in the Earl's estate... Do you think he is there for you?"

Dubian usually stayed in the ruins. The dark lines on his face make him unable to interact with others. All real-time information about the outside world came from Anna. He frowned slightly when he heard what she said. After thinking about it, he said, "Most likely not. I was hunted down by a group of priests in disguise. There should not be a Holy Son there... I think he may have passed through here because of a trial."
