Rejected the Demon’s Marriage Proposal Thousands of Times

Birthday Banquet (4)

Baron Wright and his sons and daughters were greeting the guests at the door, and the butler shouted before he got close: “Master, Mage Raymond is here!” He paused and added, “And Miss Natalie’s friend, Mage Anna.”

Baron Wright was now in his fifties. He was a slightly fat man. From his facial features, you could tell that he was handsome when he was young. However, as he got older and fatter, his appearance also got out of shape. In addition, he had the facial expression of a sycophant, making him look rather unappealing.

At least that’s what Rothgarr and Anna, who saw him approaching him at this time, both thought.

Natalie was standing behind her parents and siblings. When she saw Anna, her eyes lit up. She quickly passed her brothers and sisters to greet her.

“Anna!”

Anna held Natalie’s hand. Today, Natalie was wearing an intricate pale pink dress. It was clear that she has put thought and effort into her dress, and she looked bright and moving.

However, when she was facing Anna, Natalie unconsciously revealed the liveliness that belonged to a child. Her moving beauty was gone, and she even stuck out her tongue and made a face at Anna.

Anna was amused. She was still a child.

Baron Wright glanced at his unladylike youngest daughter displeased. Seeing that Mage Raymond did not show impatience, he hurriedly smiled: “Mage Raymond, Natalie is still an ignorant little girl. She had caused you trouble in the Association.”

“No, the one she troubles is Anna.” Rothgarr’s tone didn’t show any pleasantries.

Baron Wright was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at the mage disciple that came with Mage Raymond. Yesterday, Natalie said she wanted to invite her friend. After hearing that she was also a mage, he didn’t care too much until today, when she suddenly came home and said that she wanted to invite the eldest son of Viscount Bradford, Mage Raymond, who was now a two-star mage.

Baron Wright thought that Mage Raymond took Natalie to the line of life and death out of luck. After all, there was another Mage Disciple that went besides her, but he didn’t expect that she could invite Mage Raymond to come. He even thought that Natalie finally had use, and since this morning, he was looking forward to the evening banquet to meet Mage Raymond in person. If Natalie could marry Raymond Mage, she would be the future Viscountess, then of course he wouldn’t let Natalie marry that rich businessman who could give him a lot of money.

However, looking at it like this way, it seemed that Mage Raymond came with the commoner Mage named Anna?

Rothgarr’s indifferent attitude did not affect Baron Wright’s mood. His smile was still impeccably flattering, as if he had not heard the indifference in Rothgarr’s words. He laughed twice and said: “Your arrival is the best birthday present ever for Natalie!”

He then looked at Anna with a kind smile: “Mage Anna, are you the good friend Natalie is always talking about? Thank you very much for taking care of her. Natalie has always been rash, and it’s good to have a friend like you.”

Different from the flattery to Mage Raymond, in the face of Anna, Baron Wright had the attitude of an elder talking to a junior. He didn’t know about Anna’s talent. After all, Anna’s time as a mage disciple was too short. Even the members of the Mage Association, most of them didn’t know about her talent. Even though Natalie told him that Anna was very powerful, he didn’t take it to heart. After all, a person who could become friends with a mage disciple like his daughter who had failed the one-star mage examination many times was unlikely to be very talented.

Therefore, Baron Wright believed that Anna at most could pass the one-star mage examination and become a baron.

“Yes, I admire Natalie very much, and I am very happy to be friends with her.” Anna smiled politely.

Then, Anna took out her reading notes and insights in front of Baron Wright, but Baron Wright didn’t react much to this. After all, how amazing could a mage disciple’s notes be?

On the other hand, Natalie was different. Even though Natalie knew a lot of the contents of the notebook, she still excitedly accepted the gift that Anna gave her.

Rothgarr also took out a small box and threw it to Natalie at random.

Natalie was flattered: “Thank you so much, Mage Raymond!”

The box was small, but a little heavy, and there is a crisp clanging sound that sounded when picking it up. Natalie couldn’t help but guess what was inside.

When Baron Wright saw that Mage Raymond had prepared a gift for Natalie, his eyes lit up. He commanded the butler to invite the two into the banquet hall.

Natalie hurriedly whispered, “See you later, Anna!”

Anna smiled and blinked, and went ahead with the demon.

After the two left, Baron Wright asked, “What is the relationship between Mage Raymond and Anna?”

Natalie looked at her father, shook her head gently, and said, “I don’t know.”

She didn’t want to tell her father about Mage Raymond and Anna, lest he have any bad ideas.

Baron Wright frowned and asked again, “What gift did he give you?”

Natalie pursed her lips and reluctantly opened the box, which contained a mixture of gold coins and hollow crystals. Its contents were probably worth a hundred gold coins.

This gift obviously didn’t take much thought, and Baron Wright was a little disappointed, and waved for Natalie to put it away.

Natalie quickly put away the gift and stepped back to continue being an invisible person, but her mind had already flown into the banquet hall. How could staying here with her family be as fun as being with Anna? She used to spend a lot of time in the Association among the Association members, but it was only three or four hours a day at most. It wasn’t like now, where she spent the whole day at the Association. If possible, she even would like to go back home with Anna at night.

Natalie was slightly distracted, and followed her parents like a puppet to say hello to every visiting guest.

“What gift did you give Natalie?” Anna asked curiously after walking into the banquet hall. She thought that the demon would not have prepared a gift for Natalie.

Rothgarr gave her a look. “You can ask her yourself.”

“It’s fine if you don’t want to say it.” Anna was only curious. The demon didn’t say anything, so she stopped asking and observed the banquet hall.

This building was obviously a few years old, and the corners of the ceiling are even cracked, but the places that normal people walked by were carefully arranged, and there was no trace of wear and tear.
