CH 56.1

Apologize For Your Mistake (1)

Although Anna really did lack a mage robe and she really didn’t feel any guilt about using the demon like this, she felt that it was a bit strange for the demon to accompany her in purchasing a mage robe.

It sounded like she was a pretty mage who was sugared* by a domineering noble mage…

[T/N: As in a sugar daddy/mommy]

Anna was so disgusted by her own imagination. She felt that it was best if the relationship between her and the demon was pure. She wanted to take advantage of the demon, not of “Raymond,” so leeching off his knowledge was enough. In terms of material things, it was better for her not to be contaminated.

“Thank you, but I don’t need a mage robe yet.” Anna politely declined.

Rothgarr raised his eyebrows: “You don’t need one or can’t afford one?”

Anna: “…”

What kind of words were these? Fortunately, she had thick skin, otherwise he would have angered her to death.

She said as calmly as possible: “I can’t afford it, but I want to earn enough of my own money to buy one.”

Rothgarr knew that there were very few ways for Anna to make money, but since she refused to accept his gifts directly, why would he insist on making her unhappy?

It was clear that the book “Five Etiquettes of Communication between Mages” that he was reading was useless; at the very least, its contents couldn’t be used on Anna.

Rothgarr had wanted to scan these books carefully to find some ways to get along with Anna, but now he had lost all interest.

The best way to increase understanding and increase goodwill was still to go to the line of life and death.

Although going to the line of life and death almost broke this body, it turned out to be worth it. Rothgarr had never received such a positive response from Anna before, so he was also vaguely looking forward to their next trip. It just so happened that this was what Anna hoped for as well.

“Then let’s go to the line of and death tomorrow,” Rothgarr said. “There are a few tasks on the task bulletin that are suitable for you.”

Anna was stunned. The demon’s energeticness almost made her feel guilty… Although he often spoke without thinking and said things that made people want to beat him, he still knew to listen to her opinions, and the suggestions he gave were very reasonable.

She was even a little worried that he would say, “Come and be my personal maid, I’ll pay you one gold coin a day,” etc… It was actually quite enticing to think about it.

“Your mental strength hasn’t recovered yet.” Anna still reluctantly refused, even though she really wanted to complete tasks to make money. “We’ll talk about it when you’re well; there’s no room for discussion. Don’t bother me now, I’m studying.”

Seeing that Anna ended the conversation unilaterally, Rothgarr frowned. His attention returned to the book. He looked at Anna for a while, and seeing that she really had no intention of changing her mind, he could only withdraw his gaze.

Natalie was practically stunned to see this scene. She felt that the questions that Mage Raymond asked her this morning were strange, and now looking at Anna’s attitude when talking to him, this strange feeling she had became even stronger.

It seemed that Mage Raymond was being led by Anna’s nose the whole time…

What happened between Anna and Mage Raymond in the carriage when they returned to the city yesterday? She was so curious!

Holding in her questions made Natalie uncomfortable, but she couldn’t ask her questions with Mage Raymond still here. So she could only force herself to settle her mind and review her notes.

She told herself that the promotion examination in a little more than a month was the most important thing to her… waaaa, but she really wanted to know!

Anna felt very good now. “Lack of information” plus “something to ask for”, plus her deliberate guidance, made getting along with the demon much more comfortable. He was practically as harmless as a baby.

She quickly suppressed the joy in her mind; she couldn’t be too complacent. He was essentially the same demon who wanted her soul. She couldn’t be deceived by his “obedience”!

The three of them studied together until now. When they walked out of the library, Natalie breathed a sigh of relief. She thought that up next would be her and Anna’s two-person world, but the three of them walked together for a while and Mage Raymond made no signs of leaving. She quickly became unhappy.

Was Mage Raymond going to have lunch with them in the Association’s cafeteria? That didn’t fit his identity at all!

However, the Goddess did not hear the wishes in her heart. The three of them were about to reach the cafeteria, and Mage Raymond was still with them.

Before the three of them could enter the cafeteria, a staff member from the Association found them. Anna recognized him as the one who received her and Natalie first in the office yesterday.

“The Affairs department invites the three of you to come over for a moment. There is something important to discuss.” The staff member mainly spoke to Rothgarr.

Rothgarr frowned. “We’ll talk about it after lunch.”

Anna hurriedly whispered, “Why don’t you go and see what’s going on first, or you won’t be able to eat properly.”

Rothgarr looked displeased and said to the staff member, “Lead the way.”

The staff member was anxious when he heard “Mage Raymond” say that. Seeing Anna had convinced him with one sentence, he couldn’t help but look at her a few times in surprise before quickly turning around to lead the way.

What was the “important” matter?

Anna knew that it most likely was not a good thing. If the results came out, he wouldn’t have said ” something important to discuss”. She surmised that the York family had made a move.

Only now did Anna realize that she actually didn’t know much about Raymond’s family. Speaking of which, although Hansen’s uncle and Raymond’s father were both viscounts, there was still a difference between viscounts. Who knew if Raymond’s family could go up against this…

When the group arrived at the Affairs department, they found that it was quite lively here.

In addition to the three-star mage who listened to Anna and Natalie’s report yesterday, there are also several staff members of the Association, and another party headed by a steward-like person.

After the three of them arrived, that three-star mage first introduced the man who looked like a steward to be the main butler at Viscount York’s mansion. He was named William.

With a smile that Anna felt was very artificial, William bowed deeply to “Mage Raymond”.

“I’m very sorry, Mage Raymond,” he said after rising. “We are deeply sorry for the harm that Young Master Hansen’s mistake has caused you. Viscount York has already gone to your house to apologize to your father, and your father has also graciously accepted the York family’s apology and expressed his understanding for Young Master Hansen’s mistakes. When he heard that you still came to the Association today, Viscount York hastily ordered me to come to the Association and apologize to you again.”

As Butler William spoke, the servant next to him came forward with a box, and when he opened it, it was full of gold coins and hollow crystals.

Before Anna could take a closer look, Rothgarr suddenly raised his hand, knocked the box over, and sneered: “What a good ‘mistake’! You tell Hansen to come here. As long as he can survive my ‘mistake’, I will forgive him. ”

The faces of everyone present changed. They probably didn’t expect Mage Raymond’s temper to be so explosive. The three-star mage quickly said: “Mage Raymond, if you have something to say, say it properly. Don’t get violent.”

Naturally, Rothgarr would not consider the family and social relations of those possessed by him. He looked at the three-star mage coldly: “No one can plot against me and then escape unscathed.”

Hearing this, Anna’s heart shook quietly.

Hadn’t she been plotting against this demon this whole time… She hoped he never found out, otherwise she would be done for…
