Escape (5)

Rothgarr was about to activate the teleportation portal to chase after her. The other side of the teleportation portal was connected to the outside of Blue Stone City. He just had to find Anna before she went to Black Cloud City.

He hated Anna for deliberately lying to him, and finding every opportunity to return to the Human Realm, but at this rare moment, he understood her.

He was avoiding answering her question, as well as avoiding her. It was understandable for her to want to escape.

But Balan stopped Rothgarr. He said: “Just let Anna go back to the Human Realm, this is good for you and her!”

Rothgarr shook Balan off irritably.

He had already thought it through. When he found that the castle was empty and there was no trace of Anna, he clearly felt reluctance and irritability, as well as the urge to chase her back.

He wanted her… wanted her body to belong to him, and even more, wanted her soul to belong to him.

He loved her, loved a human woman.

Rothgarr had finally come to terms with this fact, and along with this realization, was angry at himself.

A high and mighty Grand Duke of The Abyss actually fell in love with a human woman; this kind of thing was something he would have regarded as a joke in the past.

But now, Balan had, so had he.

But he knew he wouldn’t be like Balan.

Naturally, Balan wouldn’t let Rothgarr activate the teleportation portal to catch up with her so easily. The Human Realm was neither big nor small. As long as Anna ran far enough to hide, Rothgarr would be unable to find her again.

He twitched the corner of his mouth, struggling to stop Rothgarr.

In the Human Realm.

After Anna came out of the teleportation portal, she found herself in a forest. She didn’t dare to waste time, hurriedly using the wind gathering spell to flee. When she got out of the forest and met a caravan, she found out that this was Blue Stone City.

Anna vaguely remembered that she first met Rothgarr in Bluestone City.

Half an hour had passed since Anna left the teleportation portal. That was to say, Balan must have stopped Rothgarr, otherwise Rothgarr would have caught up to her by now.

She breathed a sigh of relief, but then hesitated.

She hadn’t been back to Bluestone City for more than half a year, did she want to go back and have a look?

But Rothgarr would definitely chase after her. The first places he would look would certainly be the two places where she once lived, Blue Stone City and Black Cloud City…

Anna didn’t think for too long. In the end, she followed the caravan and they entered the city together.

She just hoped Balan would hold out a little longer, and keep Rothgarr back.

The skirt Anna was wearing at the moment was from Balan’s castle. It was the same material as Catherine’s skirts, good quality and comfortable. Looking at it, you could tell that only nobles could afford such a skirt. Even though it was shocking to see her appear in the forest alone, her beauty and grace made the caravan leader take her into the city without hesitation.

When they arrived in Blue Stone City, Anna thanked the caravan leader and hopped off before the carriage had even stopped, quickly disappearing from everyone’s view with elegance.

“It’s… an honorable Mage!” The knowledgeable caravan leader finally understood Anna’s identity.

Anna went to Pomegranate Lane first, and after seeing that her family was not in their original residence, she went straight to the church without bothering to ask her neighbors.

Coincidentally, Father Louis was holding a sacred sermon on serving the goddess in the church today, and the people sitting under the church were all devout believers, including wealthy nobles and commoners with money and no money.

As soon as Anna entered the church, Father Louis, who was proclaiming the Gospel of the Goddess on the pulpit, noticed her. At first, he thought she was a latecomer noble lady. He was a little displeased but didn’t pay much attention to her. He didn’t think that she would keep walking, all the way until she arrived in front of him.

“Holy Goddess, it is time for the sermon. If you have any confusion on the road of life, you can come find me privately after the sermon.” Father Louis said. He glanced behind Anna with some displeasure. What was going on with the priests, letting people in even after the sermon started, even letting them walk over here.

“Anna?”

Anna was about to speak, but she heard a familiar voice from the distant past hesitantly call her name.

She turned her head just in time to see Parrish Wilson sitting in the first row.

Parrish was even more surprised when Anna turned her head and he confirmed that he was not seeing things.

The person who disappeared for more than half a year suddenly reappeared at this point in time… and she was giving off a different feeling!

After Parrish called out Anna’s name, Father Louis finally remembered who the beautiful girl in front of him was.

She was the maid who was being courted by the demon, the girl who ran away after hurting her mother!

Father Louis still dreamt of the scene of seeing the demon with his own two eyes that day, but in his dream, he was not so lucky to survive and died a miserable death every time Thus, he thought of the demon when he saw Anna, and fear naturally welled up in his heart.

This girl who was being courted by the demon was here, so what about the demon?

“You…how are you here? That demon…” Father Louis panicked and said something that shouldn’t be said in front of a group of people who were believers. He quickly shut up and raised his voice with an ugly expression, “Today’s sermon ends here, everyone please leave.”

The pastors had already discovered that something was wrong, and quickly assisted the believers who participated in the sermon to leave in an orderly manner.
