Rejected the Demon’s Marriage Proposal Thousands of Times Chapter 26.4

Borrowing His Body (4)

As for Parrish, she would just casually say a few sentences to his personal servant Waldo.

Anna waited for Madam Mary to go and hurried to find Ulysses. Who knew that just as she had walked into the garden, she would see him. Sure enough, there was no demon.

She discovered that Ulysses seemed to like to stay in the garden. After the demon possessed Ulysses, he would not stay there quietly like Ulysses would.

She didn’t know why, but even when the demon was not talking, Anna felt that he was noisy just looking at him. It was probably because when she looked at him, it was as if she heard the howls of the poor souls he had harvested.

"Master Ulysses." Anna approached him and addressed softly.

Ulysses turned his head and saw Anna. His brows lightly frowned. In his memory, he had only refused this maid's request to be his student not long ago.

But...

Thinking of what happened last night, Ulysses' eyebrows sank.

He had lost many days worth of memories. From Fergie's words, he heard that he seemed to fend off an enemy with the Holy Son yesterday, but... he didn't remember anything.

"I'm sorry, starting today, the esteemed Holy Son needs me to look after him. I can no longer prepare three meals a day from now on, but please rest assured that there will be a more suitable maid in charge of this matter besides me." Anna lied through her teeth, pretending as if she didn't know that Ulysses had lost his memory. She continued, "Also, I have to pause my learning of literacy with you. Thank you very much for your teaching these days. I really learned a lot."

After a pause, Anna desperately wanted to escape from this embarrassing atmosphere and immediately said: "If you don’t have any orders, I will first take my leave."

After Anna finished speaking, she only paused for a second before turning her head to leave.

"Wait."

Anna swallowed, then turned around and looked at Ulysses with a pretend look of confusion: "May I ask what orders you have for me?"

It was time to put her acting skills to the test!

Ulysses stared at Anna with an indifferent expression: "Why would I agree to teach you literacy?"

He understood himself; even if he lost his memory, he would not teach a civilian to read.

Anna looked at Ulysses in fake surprise, and wondered: "Master Ulysses, I don't understand what you mean... I know my talent is not good, and you taught me with much effort, but... you took the initiative to teach me. If you’re asking me why you wanted to teach me, I really can't come up with a reason."

Ulysses couldn't remember that scene in his memory. He was silent for a moment, and said: "You may leave."

"Yes, my lord." Anna secretly breathed a sigh of relief and left after hurriedly saluting.

When she walked out of the garden, Anna looked back quietly, Ulysses was still standing there with a look of frustration on his face.

She sighed in her heart.

He was really pitiful, being possessed by the demon but not remembering anything... The demon also spent his gold coins and burned so many things. Who knew how much was left for him.

...No, she couldn’t think about this anymore. If she ruminated for too long, her heart would start aching again.

Anna first went back to the kitchen. She asked Rebecca to arrange someone to deliver food to Parrish and Ulysses, and then packed up and went to the small building where the Holy Son lived.

Anna walked over to the small building and couldn't help but stop and take a closer look. Sure enough, she saw that there were still some stains on the ground that could not be cleaned up in such a short time.

Thinking of the scorched corpses that once laid on this ground, she couldn't help but tremble, and hurriedly walked inside.

"Esteemed Holy Son?"

Anna softly spoke as she walked. She found traces of fighting inside, not knowing how tragic the battle was last night.

The layout of this small building was more similar to that of Parrish’s. Anna thought whether it was true or not, since he was seriously injured, the demon should be lying on a bed in the bedroom, so she walked to the second floor and quickly found the master bedroom.

She stopped at the door, knocked and said, "Esteemed Holy Son, I am the maid assigned to take care of you, Anna."

A weak but nice sounding voice came from the door: "Come in."

Anna took a deep breath and pushed the door in.

In the middle of the bedroom was a large bed, and the curtains facing the doorway were pushed aside. The Holy Son, who had been seriously injured, was lying on the bed. His delicate face was slightly pale, his eyes were slightly closed, and his long eyelashes were quietly resting atop his cheeks. Long, undamaged silver hair spread out in a mess, like a peacock's feathers when courting.

As if hearing the movement, the delicate man on the bed opened his eyes. His light blue eyes were full of brilliance, which made the already beautiful face much more attractive. For a moment, he changed from a cold and lifeless doll into an angel who loved the world.

The angel curved his lips gently, revealing a gentle smile, and his voice was very nice even if he was weak.

"Anna, right? I seem to have fallen in love with you at first sight."

Anna, who was so shocked by the Holy Son’s appearance but frightened by the presence of the demon inside, and who was caught in ambivalence, but still level headed: "......."

I beg you, have some humanity! Don't waste such a perfectly good Holy Son, please!
