Rejected the Demon’s Marriage Proposal Thousands of Times Chapter 32.3

Rejecting the Proposal (3)

Anna followed his words and said: "But the goddess will know...esteemed Holy Son, you are the most elegant and holy, please don't make me disgrace you."

Rothgarr frowned and sneered: "The one who saved your brother was not the goddess, it was me."

"Yes, I know, so I am very grateful towards you." Anna said, "I am willing to pray to the goddess day and night. I’ll pray that your injury can recover as soon as possible. This is the only thing I can do for you."

As soon as Anna finished speaking, the expression of the demon was really ugly. Although she refused very decisively, in reality, every time she refused, she would be very nervous.

She was too afraid that the demon would flip a table in rage.*

[Flipping a table means to be enraged or angry by the actions of others.]

Therefore, seeing that the demon looked as if he would abandon the Holy Son’s body and run out to kill her at any time, Anna took a deep breath and squatted down by the bed. She imagined the expression or reaction that a normal civilian girl who didn’t know the underlying intentions of “the Holy Son” and had just received a great favor from the Holy Son would have, or an expression that could be used to calm the demon's emotions at this moment.

Anna stretched out her hand and grabbed a corner of the blanket. Her gaze drifted as if she didn't dare to look at the demon, and she whispered: "But... if you want my body, I..."

As if too shy, she didn't go on.

Anna knew very well that the demon wanted her soul and was not interested in her body. He had rarely had physical contact with her before. Therefore, she actually said so deliberately because she was sure he would not do anything to her based on these words.

After hearing Anna's refusal, for a moment, Rothgarr actually just wanted to come out and be done with it.

The experience of possessing the Holy Son was truly awful. His patience had plummeted, and what was tolerable in the past had become unbearable now.

But then, Anna's words and her expression brought back his sanity.

Compared with her stubborn refusal in the past, her reaction now made him much more satisfied.

He calmed down and thought about it. To make her really not be afraid of the Vatican at all, would take some time. Her courage at times was truly small.

Rothgarr certainly didn't have any interest in Anna's body, though he always heard Balan say that if you conquered a woman's body, you could conquer her heart.

He dismissed it. If he wanted to conquer Anna's heart, he didn't need to rely on that kind of thing at all.

Rothgarr thought for a while, vaguely remembering the romantic words Parrish had said to others. After leaving the body of those he had possessed, the memories he saw would become more and more blurred until all of them were forgotten.

"I love your soul, not your body."

Anna was shocked. Did he just say it so bluntly?!

She thought, right now, he didn’t know that she could see through his actions, which was why he dared to use the truth as a lover's prattle.  After all, in the eyes of the people who didn’t know the truth, this was really a beautiful declaration of love.

Fortunately, she knew everything.

"Esteemed Holy Son……" Anna covered her face and looked at the demon. She made a very touching expression, and then said shyly, "Please rest first, you really worked hard today."

Rothgarr was very satisfied with Anna's reaction. He knew that Parrish's memory would come in handy. Most of the women in Parrish's memory who heard his romantic words were eventually conquered by him.

Those romantic words before were of no use to Anna; he guessed it was because the person was wrong.

Seeing that Rothgarr was sleeping with his eyes closed, Anna got up and sat down at the table with her back to the bed. The expression on her face relaxed.

The demon was indeed a demon. Performing good deeds with a purpose; everything was to win her soul.

She was very grateful for his help today, but nothing would change in the future.

Because his mental strength was exhausted again, Rothgarr laid in bed the whole day and slept.

Anna stayed in the bedroom. Even though she was there to accompany him, she silently recited and reviewed what she had learned before.

She couldn't just forget the sixty ways to kill demonic beasts that she had worked so hard to memorize.

In the evening, Anna saw Dubian and told him the news that little Evan’s illness was cured.

Dubian heard that it was the Holy Son who treated little Evan under the pressure of excessive use of mental power. He said with emotion in his voice: "Excessive use of mental power is very painful. The Holy Son is indeed a kind person."

Anna thought to herself, he was indeed kind, only wanting her soul and not her body.

She didn't want to talk about the demon any more, and took the opportunity to ask about Dubian's similar mental state.

In the past, she was very happy to hear Dubian say that it would take two months to recover from his injury. This meant that she had enough time to learn spells. But now, Dubian had become her friend, and she would of course hope that he could get better soon.

Dubian smiled and said, "I am recovering faster than I expected. In the past when I injured my mental strength, I had to recover as I was fleeing.I didn't rest well, and I couldn't concentrate on meditation, so the recovery was very slow, which is why I estimated that it would take two months. But now that you bring me food every day, I can concentrate on meditating no matter the time of day. I feel a lot better these days, and I should be able to fully recover in half a month."

"Great!" Anna was really happy for Dubian, even if it meant he would leave soon. He was being chased down, and staying in one place for too long was very dangerous.

"It's all due to you, Anna. Thank you." Dubian said.

Anna smiled and said, "We are friends. It sounds too courteous to say this. It was you who helped me on the path of the mage. Should I also repay you? I don't have gold coins, so don't say thank you anymore. Just let me take advantage of you, and we can put everything in the past."

Dubian was infected by Anna's playful smile, and couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, then let’s write off!"

For the next two days, Rothgarr didn't use any spells, so his mental power recovered quickly, and he didn't have to lie sickly in bed, which made him feel much better.

At noon, when Anna went to pick up lunch, he walked casually to the balcony to watch the scenery, only to see Anna being stopped by Ulysses downstairs.

When he heard Ulysses say that he wanted to leave this place with Anna, he was outraged.

He dared to snatch his person!
