Why Are You Scaring Her (1)

Originally, Anna had completely resolved the situation, and she had protected Leon’s dignity. Grace really thought that “Aria of Light” was sent by Dawkins, and Magnolia did not intend to butt in for the time being. Thus, she could succeed in very naturally backing off and leaving happily.

Fate contrived better than humans; who knew that this demon would suddenly pop up and provoke a dispute with one sentence.

Anna didn’t have to look back to know how dazzling the sight behind her was. In order to defend her victory, she looked at the demon with doubt written on her face: “What did you say? I just conveniently brought it over on the way. Speaking of the potion you helped make, Mage Dawkins also told me just now that when I run into you, he wants me to tell you that he will share 10% of his future profits with you.”

Rothgarr frowned. “I don’t need that bit of money.”

“Whether you lack it or not, you deserve it. Mage Dawkins doesn’t want to take advantage of you either. I think you should just accept it. It doesn’t require anything of you anyway.” Seeing that his attention was being diverted, she hurriedly responded to him and continued to change the subject, “What have you been doing this week, why didn’t you come to the Association?”

As she spoke, she walked to the demon’s side and deliberately guided him away. As long as she could get away from the gaze of Leon and the others, it wouldn’t matter what the demon said after.

Rothgarr sneered: “If you really care about what I do, why didn’t you come to see me?”

She would be crazy if she took the initiative to go see him!

Anna glanced at him and said, “I thought you were hiding from me.”

Rothgarr: “……”

Rothgarr was indeed hiding from Anna this week. That unspeakable dream made him very embarrassed when facing Anna. He hated the feeling of being out of control, so he simply stayed at Raymond’s house and meditated for seven days.

He didn’t come back until he had completely driven those images out of his mind. The sense of control he felt when he saw Anna and wouldn’t remember those images made him much more comfortable.

But seeing her hanging out with Leon still made him feel very unpleasant, so of course his words would sound harsh.

Although Anna hit the nail on the head, Rothgarr certainly wouldn’t admit it. He said lightly: “I was recuperating at home.”

Anna said with doubt: “Didn’t you say you were okay?”

Rothgarr said lightly: “Not completely.”

“But you came to the Association the day after you were injured. Wasn’t that injury worse?”

“……So what?”

Anna looked at Rothgarr speechlessly, and Rothgarr also looked at her with a cold expression, as if as long as his posture was calm enough, he was actually the reasonable one.

“Mage Raymond, how is your injury?”

While Anna and Rothgarr exchanged eye contact, Magnolia interjected with a slightly worried voice.

Magnolia couldn’t stand this scene. Raymond was obviously a proud aristocratic young master, why would he bicker like a child with that civilian mage’s disciple? She couldn’t take it anymore, so she interrupted them by speaking up.

Rothgarr glanced at the talking Magnolia. Because of the pendant around her neck, he remembered her, but as if he hadn’t heard her, Rothgarr only glanced quickly before turning back. He stared at Anna and said, “What have you done behind my back in the week that I was gone?”

Although he got rid of those troublesome images, when he thought of the possibility that Anna developed a special relationship with someone during the week that he was away, anger swelled in his chest.

She was his. No one else should even think about getting their hands on her.

Such a tyrannical jealous husband’s lines!

Anna covered her face. She had saved Leon’s face just now, but was about to lose her own face…

“I made potions with Natalie in the potion lab every day this week. I have kept the experiment notes. You can read them if you want.” Anna calmly said this, walking pass Rothgarr as she headed for the staircase.

When you feel ashamed, you can just leave the scene. As long as she acted calm, others would not be able to see her embarrassment.

Rothgarr didn’t expect Anna to leave just like that. He didn’t have any interest in anyone else, so of course he quickly followed.

Magnolia, who had spoken up but was ignored, watched the two leave one after another with an ugly face, but then heard Leon say, “I still have a potion to prepare. You guys do as you please.”

After Leon finished speaking indifferently as usual, he returned to the potion lab he applied for, and closed the door.

In his hand, he still tightly held the “Aria of Light” that Anna had given him.

“Leon!” Grace watched Leon shut herself outside the door, her face full of disappointment.

Breaking into the potion lab was not acceptable. She tried to do it once, when Leon was preparing a potion, and she really angered him, so she didn’t dare to do it this time.

“Grace, don’t worry, he’s your fiancé. After so many years, since he hasn’t canceled the engagement, you don’t have to worry about him being seduced by other women.” Magnolia comforted, “As long as your family is still the richest nobles in Dark Cloud City, he will not leave you. And as long as you persist, sooner or later, he will truly fall in love with you.”

Grace looked at Magnolia expectantly: “Will there really be such a day?” She raised her slender white hand and clenched it, as if there was something in her palm, “I have no affinity for the elements, the Mage Association is a place I can’t reach, but he spends most of his time here. Not seeing him is really unbearable for me. If… If only he could have me alone in his heart.”

Magnolia took Grace’s hand and said softly, “Grace, if you cut off Leon’s wings and trap him beside you, then he would not be the man you love.”
