CH 15.2

Forced to Marry (2)

Bobby was a butcher. He was a burly man in his thirties. He had a fierce face, and one could smell the foul smell of wine coming from him when he approached.

Seeing Anna, Bobby's eyes lit up. His triangular eyes narrowed, and he said drunkenly: "Little Anna, I haven't noticed before. It turns out that you have grown into a beautiful big girl. Tsk tsk, I can't wait to marry you!"

Anna took two steps back in disgust. She coldly said, "Get out of the way!"

"Ooh, what a temper,” Bobby laughed. In the next moment, his face suddenly became gloomy. "No matter how big your temper is, you will be obedient after a beating."

Anna was disgusted. It was a pity that she didn't have a weapon in her hand; even a stone would work.

A door creaked open beside them. Mark came out with a big iron hammer and glared at Bobby: "Don't go crazy in front of someone else's house early in the morning!"

He waved the huge hammer easily, and the heavy hammer seemed to be able to fly out and hit people at any time.

Bobby was also very burly, but he was still lacking compared to the young and muscular Mark. In addition, he was now drunk and couldn't even stand still. He could bully a little girl in this state, but there was no chance of winning against Mark. So, he glared at Mark and walked away desperately.

Mark watched Bobby leave before he walked to Anna. He hid the big hammer behind him and smiled sillily at her: "Don't worry, from now on, I will be here when you go to work in the morning."

Anna said gratefully: "Thank you!" She paused, then went on to say, "Wait for me here at 7:30 tonight."

Mark did not ask Anna what she wanted to do before readily agreeing.

Anna didn't want to do anything. She had just planned to use the copper money she saved to buy some delicious food to express her gratitude to Mark. It was normal to get the help of a colleague at work and treat the colleague to a meal. You couldn’t accept the help of others without returning the favor in some way.

...Well, except for that demon's malicious "help."

The whole way to the earl's mansion, Anna was still thinking about the matter of being forced to marry Bobby.

They were both commoners. Of course Bobby could be so unscrupulous, but if she became a noble... No, even if she was proclaimed to be the body of the light or had an affinity for supernatural elements, Bobby would dare not mess around again.

Anna spent most of the morning worrying about it, and when she brought Parrish breakfast, she was not surprised to see Ulysses, who was possessed by the demon.

"Dear Anna, you are more dazzling and moving today than you were yesterday." Parrish didn’t even need to put effort into it. He eloquently and fluently gave out compliments.

Anna didn't sleep well yesterday and there were dark circles under her eyes. She murmured irritably, "Are you blind?” and thanked him perfunctorily as she set the tableware: "Thank you, Young Master Parrish, you are also more handsome than you were yesterday."

Parrish propped his chin and watched Anna's neat movements. His brilliant smile made his handsome face even more attractive. But just as he raised his hand to touch Anna's long hair, she seemed to twist her body inadvertently. She dodged his hand, and then stepped aside.

——After discovering this person's perverted nature, how could Anna not make preparations?

Anna knew that Parrish's actions were not regarded as perverted in the eyes of people in this era, but could be regarded as suave and romantic.

But of course she had to do things according to her own standards.

On the side, Rothgarr watched Anna's actions. He didn’t say anything.

He wanted to see what she was up to now.

Parrish only thought that Anna had coincidentally avoided his hand, so he didn't care too much. He continued to chat with Rothgarr and eat a fine breakfast.

After breakfast was over, Anna kept up her guard against Parrish. She quickly packed up her things and left with the food box.

Rothgarr didn't want to develop any sort of friendship with Parrish. He came over twice in a row purely to see Anna, so as soon as Anna left, he got up to leave. Parrish couldn't stop him even if he tried.

Only, when Rothgarr walked into the small garden, he saw Anna waiting alone. He smiled a knowing smile.

It was really worth it to wait. Wasn’t she taking action now, unable to sit still anymore?

Rothgarr pretended not to notice Anna, and turned a few degrees, so that he would not run into Anna when he walked forward.

Anna waited here to see the demon. When she turned around and saw him, she hurried after him.

"Honorable Mage Ulysses!" Anna ran to the demon, and stopped him respectfully and eagerly.

Rothgarr, of course, would not really ignore her. He stopped and looked at her coldly, waiting for her to speak first.

Anna took a deep breath to ease her rapid heartbeat, and then said: "My lord, I heard that you have to postpone your departure due to your injury. May I ask if your injury is serious?"

"I just need to rest for a few days," Rothgarr said. In the end, he greatly enjoyed having the chessboard under his control. He asked, "Did you wait for me here specifically because you changed your mind?"

Anna hesitated. Of course, she hadn't changed her mind. Does she look like someone who did not want to live anymore?
