Coming to the Demon’s Rescue (2)

Seeing that the demon didn’t say anything, Anna went straight to Natalie. She asked with a low smile, “Are you happy?”

Natalie nodded vigorously: “I’ve never seen Magnolia so angry before, I’m so happy!”

“It’s good that you’re happy. But don’t fight her head-on in the future, this person is a bit skilled.” Anna said, based on her rich experience “acting” in reading people, Magnolia was a formidable enemy, and Natalie would lose without a question if she went up against her.

“Okay!” Natalie, who has never won Magnolia, nodded obediently.

Anna thought for a while and smiled: “But there’s no need to care about her too much. Study your spells well. When you become a high-level mage, what can she, an ordinary person, do to you, no matter how powerful?”

Natalie nodded vigorously. Although she was still only a mage in training, with Anna helping her all the time, she felt like she could definitely become a one-star mage. She used to think that she should thank the goddess if she could one day become a one-star mage, but now, she felt that it was not enough, and she wanted to aim higher… If there was a chance, why not continue to try? She felt like as long as Anna was there, she could keep trying. Even if her abilities were limited and in the end she remained stagnant with no possibility of moving forward, she still wanted to work hard, so that that stagnant period would arrive later.

As was customary, Natalie would dance the opening dance with her father, so Anna and Natalie chatted briefly before Baron Wright came over and politely took Natalie away.

The banquet hall was already full of guests, and in the center of the hall, the opening dance of Natalie and Baron Wright began. With a reserved smile, Natalie swirled in her father’s arms as the dance progressed. Perhaps there was a brief separation, but she would eventually return to his arms.

Anna could see that Natalie didn’t have a good relationship with her family. She and Natalie had talked for a while, and none of her older siblings had come to find her.

Natalie was the only natural element affinity in the Wright family. Perhaps her older brothers and sisters may have congratulated her sincerely at first, or maybe they were jealous; people’s hearts change. If Natalie’s talent was good and she had been promoted all the way from a mage in training to a two or three-star mage, then very likely, her brothers and sisters would drop to their knees in an instant to curry favor with her. What a proud matter it was, to have a mage in the family?

But Natalie had been only a mage in training for so many years, what would her brother and sister think?

——Evidently she was one-in-a-million with an affinity for the natural elements, but Natalie didn’t work hard at all, completely wasting such a precious gift, and up until today, she was still just a mage in training. If I were the only one with Elemental Affinity in the Wright family, I wouldn’t waste such a gift like she did.

Ana could understand what happened to Natalie at home with only a brief glance. She was also very clear that if Natalie kept up with the progress of the other and had already become a one-star or two-star mage, Baron Wright would never marry her away so casually.

Being a mage in training was also very costly to raise, and yet they didn’t even have the lowest title of a baron. Not all families were family-oriented.

At this time, Anna felt that it was not bad that she was alone right now. She could make her own decisions and didn’t have to be controlled by anyone—that is, anyone except the demon.

Anna was a little distracted when someone bumped her from behind, and at the same time, there was an exaggerated exclamation.

Anna steadied herself and turned around, only to see a lady with heavy makeup and wearing an exquisite dress holding a half-spilled glass in her hand. She had an exaggerated apologetic look on her face: “I’m so sorry, I accidentally tripped and soiled your clothes.”

“Soiled my dress?” Anna showed a subtle smile, turning sideways to allow the lady to see her right shoulder, which the lady had bumped into, more clearly, “I’m sorry, you may not be aware of it. Mage robes are waterproof, how could it get dirty?” Ignorant fool!

Anna just saw that the only people in this hall wearing mage robes were she and the demon. Even among the nobles, very few learned magic. They might know a little more about mages than the public, and they were closer to circle of mages, but they were unlikely to know about trivial matters such as “waterproof mage robes”.

The lady’s face changed when she saw that there was no liquor on Anna’s mage robe.

This made her appear very ignorant, which was unacceptable to the nobles, who held themselves in high self-regard.

“It’s great that it’s not dirty.” The lady said with an ugly face, and then left in a hurry.

Ana glanced around and saw Magnolia raising her glass to her with a smile on her face.

Anna nodded with a smile and looked back defiantly.

She was no longer the little maid of the Earl Manor who always had to follow the orders of others. She was a mage in training, and she would definitely become a high level mage in the future. There was a lot of matter that she did not need to endure.
