Rejected the Demon’s Marriage Proposal Thousands of Times - Chapter 57.1

Anna Wants To Make Money (1)

Anna suddenly stopped, and when the demon looked sideways at her in confusion, she said, “If you attack Hansen now, I will definitely not be able to remain in the Mage Association.”

Rothgarr stared at Anna, and said unhappily for a long time, “I won’t touch him for the time being.”

Anna smiled gratefully, then leaned over and whispered: “The main reason is that if he has an accident right now, we would be the prime suspects, no matter what happened to him. After a while, when no one remembers this matter and when everyone thinks this matter has passed, it won’t be too late to beat him.”

Rothgarr’s heart stirred slightly. Anna’s cunning appearance at this moment matched perfectly with his own thoughts.

“So what?” Seeing that she had something else to say, he asked directly.

Anna smiled cautiously: “So, in order to make them think this is over, then I will accept the York family’s apology on our behalf?”

Thinking of the faces of those in the affairs department, Rothgarr didn’t want Anna to go back and suffer again, but he himself was not willing to go back, so his face sank after hearing Anna’s proposal.

Anna noticed the demon’s sullen face, and felt even more uneasy, but considering her own situation, she still dared to say: “It’s just for a while. We can always find opportunities to retaliate against him in the future. Presumably, Hansen understands your temper, and knows that you wouldn’t just let him go like that. Wouldn’t it be more interesting to let him live in the fear of being revenged by you for a while?”

After hearing Anna’s words, Rothgarr couldn’t help laughing.

She was unreservedly good to those she acknowledged, such as her family and friends, and she was not soft to those who harmed her. Mental torture is better than physical torture at breaking down a person. He really appreciated her viciousness.

“Then go on,” Rothgar said. “If they mistreat you, call me.”

Anna nodded quickly: “Okay!”

She turned around to Natalie, who didn’t understand what the two were saying, and told her that she still had something to do and needed to go back to the affairs department. Then, she walked back.

Natalie had seen the two muttering for a long time before, and she knew that they didn’t want her to hear what they were talking about. She was a little disappointed and felt that this was normal. Anyway, she couldn’t help out much, so not causing trouble for them was already very good for her. She simply backed up a bit.

Now that she saw Anna was heading back to the affairs department, she looked worried. After Anna walked through the door, Natalie’s eyes seemed to be glued to the door, not glancing away at all.

Seeing Anna leaving and then returning, the people who were talking at the beginning all stopped talking at the same time.

Anna just pretended not to notice the close relationship between them, and smiled: “I am here to accept York Manor’s apology on behalf of the three of us. Mage Raymond needs some fresh air and is waiting outside.”

At this time, the servants of York Manor had packed up the apology gifts that were knocked over by the demon just now and placed them back in the box. Anna took a look and decided to accept them for the sake of the bigger picture!

“What you say is representative of Mage Raymond’s thoughts?” Butler William asked hesitantly.

“Yes, you can go out and ask if you don’t believe me, he is still waiting for me outside.” Anna said, “I won’t waste time, and I’ll speak directly. What I just said is true. Such a generous person like Mage Raymond, is angered to this degree. You can confirm with Mage Leon about yesterday’s situation. He even healed Mage Raymond himself. You may have heard that Mage Raymond and Mage Leon have always been at odds with one another. If it wasn’t a matter of life and death, Mage Raymond would never accept the help of Mage Leon. Therefore, we can accept your apology, but we hope that your manor can restrain Hansen and prevent him from appearing in front of Mage Raymond again. This will be beneficial to both of us.”

“Yes, what you said is very pertinent.” Butler William said quickly. Compared with Mage Raymond, this Mage Anna was really good at talking. He even thought that he would not be able to complete his task today. He gave a look to the servant, and the servant handed the box in his hand to Anna. He smiled and said, “Then, thank you and Lord Raymond for accepting our apology. Your generosity and kindness is admirable.”

Anna accepted the box calmly and nodded lightly: “More friends are better than more enemies. If that’s all, I’ll take my leave. I wish you a happy life.”

Anna walked out of the office with steady steps. She didn’t feel the weight of the box in her hand at all.

Watching her back disappear behind the closed door, Butler William suddenly asked in a low voice, “You said just now that Mage Anna is still a commoner?”

They were talking about it just before Anna came in.

The three star mage of the Affairs Department said: “Yes, I think you have the same feeling as me; she doesn’t seem like a commoner. In fact, she only came to Black Cloud City half a month ago; maybe she used to be a noble lady in some other city and because of some reason, ran away from home and is concealing her identity.”

“Fortunately, she was here today, otherwise…” Butler William sighed and didn’t say any more, but everyone understood his unfinished sentence.

With the look that Mage Raymond had before, he surmised that Mage Raymond wouldn’t stop until there was a bloodbath.

Anna walked out of the office holding the box and hurried two steps to the demon and Natalie.

“I thought not letting the York family bleed a little* would be letting them off too easy, so I accepted these on your behalf,” Anna said.

[T/N: Figuratively bleeding in the money sense.]

She was still a little greedy for the things in this box, but after being framed by Hansen, the person who suffered the most was the demon, and the one who was hurt was Raymond’s body. It was only right that these things should be paid to the Raymond family.

However, if the demon insisted on giving it to her, how could she refuse? These things have not yet passed through the hands of the demon yet. She also had a part in being hunted down by the demonic creature, so it was not too much to take a little bit as compensation for emotional damage, right? And Natalie should get the small portion, too; everyone had suffered a shock.

Anna was still thinking about how many gold coins she could get and whether or not she could forgo having to do tasks to earn enough for the assessment fee when she saw the demon take the box, turn around and leave.

….Wait, he left? Not even courteously sharing a bit with her? Is this the attitude of courting someone?
