Rejected the Demon’s Marriage Proposal Thousands of Times Chapter 70.2

Leon Fights the Demon (9)

Other mages truly spent more than they earned, and they did not have the same financial burdens. In the past two years, however, Leon got paid by helping other mages to complete tasks, and helped the association to get subsidies. He had saved up more than 1,000 gold coins. After helping his uncle to return the gold coins received by the Freeman family, there was still more than half leftover. This would be   enough to sustain the Freeman family for a long time.

After that, he would think of more ways to make money.

He regretted that he didn't realize earlier that he had long been able to independently support the Freeman family, so that he had suffered so long of struggle and pain in vain.

"No, I don't agree!" Grace shouted hysterically, she thought her family's money was enough to hold onto Leon; she never thought that he would actually propose to break the engagement.

Although he had always been indifferent to her, she thought it was because he was shy, that he was not good at expressing his feelings, and that was why he was like that. She thought it would be okay in the future. After marriage, he would love her as she loved him.

"Miss Grace, your father has agreed." Leon said, "If you have any questions, you can ask your father. I am very sorry, this is indeed my fault, and I will compensate you and your family in the future."

Because of the engagement, Leon had been enduring Grace's harassment, and now that the engagement was terminated, he was relaxed. He knew that it was his fault for breaking the engagement, so he was willing to take all the blame himself today under the watchful eyes of so many people, in order to reduce the damage to the Stockton family and Grace's reputation.

But he seemed to underestimate Grace's reaction.

"I don't want compensation, I just want you!" Grace shook her head and slowly approached Leon, her eyes full of obsession, "What about me are you dissatisfied about, can’t I change? As long as you continue our engagement contract, I will forget all about today!"

Leon raised his hand to stop Grace from continuing to approach, his tone was not cold, but left no room for discussion: "I'm sorry, the engagement has been dissolved. This is best for you and me. Miss Grace, you are a very charming girl. You will find a husband who is truly worthy of your love. It's time for me to go, please take care."

If a mage wanted to leave, ordinary people naturally couldn’t stop him. Leon could see that Grace wasn’t listening to him at all, and he didn't want to stay for meaningless quarrels with her, so he decided to leave first.

"It's that Anna, right!" Grace suddenly yelled.

Leon faltered in his steps.

Grace looked at Leon with tears in her eyes, and said bitterly, "Everything you said is an excuse! You broke off the engagement just because you wanted to marry Anna, right?"

She only saw Anna and Leon together yesterday, and Leon was about to break off the engagement with her. Who was it if it wasn’t Anna? She and Leon were fine before obviously!

Grace didn't understand the principle of ‘correlation does not equal causation.’ She hated that Leon had broken off the marriage with her before she had time to do anything to Anna!

Grace, who was typically a well mannered lady and who almost never swore, couldn't care less when she was on the verge of breaking down. She shouted: "She's a bitch! She’s a mere commoner, and it wasn’t enough to seduce Mage Raymond, she seduced you! Don't be deceived by her, people who come out of the slums are very dirty!"

The number of civilian mages in the Mage Association was very small, and they preferred to study in the Mage Association more than the noble mages. At least half of the onlookers were civilians or used to be civilians. When they heard Grace's words, their faces did not look very happy.

Originally, the mages who came from a commoner background were already discriminated against in the association, but they put up with it because the other party were both mages and nobles. This person in front of them was just a noble, not even a mage’s disciple. What right did she have to insult their background?

Even if they didn't know Anna, they were all angry at Grace's indiscriminate attack at the moment.

Ana hid further into the crowd.

Originally, after watching the first half of this scene, she thought it had nothing to do with herself, and was just about to leave quietly, but Grace suddenly started to cue her.

Leon clearly said that it was his personal reason, and Grace was reluctant to blame Leon. She needed a scapegoat to vent her anger, so Anna became this unlucky duck?

Anna wasn't very angry to be scolded a couple of times; it wasn’t like she wouldn't lose any flesh anyway. What she was depressed about now was that Leon's breakup of the engagement was too unfortunate timing. She feared that Grace would never believe that it had nothing to do with her.

Leon turned his head to look at Grace, his face was a little cold: "Miss Grace, you are a noble, please pay attention to your attitude. Mage Anna is a very hardworking and talented mage, you shouldn't slander her like this."

Grace's expression was a little crazy: "I slandered her? Even I have heard about her and Raymond! I don’t know what method she used to  charm Raymond, do you want to be another one of her men? You are Leon Freeman, the noble Viscount, and a promising two-star mage!"

Leon frowned. Just as he was about to speak, he saw a flash of golden light. The next moment, Grace exclaimed, and a small cut appeared on her cheek.

She covered her face in pain and screamed, "Who, who dares to hurt me?! Come out!"

Anna wanted to cover her face in shame because of Grace's words, but she didn't expect this scene to happen. She was both a little happy and also apprehensive about what was about to happen.

The person who injured Grace didn't plan on hiding at all. With a sneer on his face, he slowly walked out of the crowd.

"I hurt you, what are you going to do?" Rothgarr smiled recklessly, staring at Grace with a cold look, "You better remember, don't talk nonsense without thinking. Leon has nothing to do with Anna."

Rothgarr originally was watching Leon’s drama from a distance, regarding it as a play, but when he heard Grace speak ill of Anna, saying that Leon was going to become one of Anna's men, he couldn't help it. Not killing her on the spot was already him restraining himself. He wouldn’t be forced to change his body because of murder.
