CH 76.5

The Demon and His Lover (5)

Natalie looked at Anna, she wanted to ask a question, but because “Mage Raymond” was there, she was too embarrassed to ask.

But she heard Rothgarr sneer: “He only saved her casually, this human actually fell in love so easily with the demon?”

What nonsense! It wasn’t like he never saved Anna; he didn’t see Anna love him as a demon like Luna did in the play! If it were that easy, he wouldn’t still be here.

Anna coughed lightly. This was just a play. Did things have to be so realistic? Didn’t he realize that his words were already on the verge of revealing the truth? What human or not human, right now he was a human now, so he should act like it!

“People are different. And this is just an opera. It must have been dramatized and cannot fully reflect reality.” There was a hint of comfort in Anna’s words.

Rothgarr exhaled.

Yes, people are different from one another. Although he didn’t know many human women, he knew very well that Anna was different from them.

It was hard to win her heart.

However, he was almost there.

Thinking of this, Rothgarr felt a little happier, and then he was no longer angry when he watched the third act.

In the third act, the young girl Luna meets a handsome, elegant and considerate son of a nobleman, who falls in love with her at first sight and pursues her passionately. At the same time, Luna couldn’t get a reciprocal response from the demon, and she was very distressed.

Later, because of Luna’s cousin’s failure, Luna’s father no longer considered the cousin as his daughter’s husband. Instead, he approved of the nobleman who was passionately pursuing Luna, and planned for them to get married.

Luna was unwilling to marry him, so she went to find her father and laid things out, saying that she was in love with a demon. Her father was very angry, but seeing that he couldn’t convince Luna, he pretended to allow her to be with the demon, but went to find a very powerful mage. When Luna and the demon were together, the mage came down from the sky and grabbed the demon. The demon thought it was Luna who wanted to hurt him and was very angry. The mask on his face was removed, and underneath was an extremely young and handsome face.

Luna pleaded hard, but no one listened to her. The imprisoned demon finally realized that it was not Luna who wanted to kill him. When Luna secretly came to see him and wanted to save him, he said that when he helped humans, he always had to collect their most prized possession. He didn’t collect anything before, but now he intended to collect it. He didn’t tell Luna what he took, and Luna fainted after he touched her face lightly.

After waking up, Luna still remembered the demon, but she didn’t remember her love for the demon. She accepted the marriage proposal from the son of the nobleman and held a grand wedding with him with a happy smile on her face.

Meanwhile, in the dark cell, the demon was dying, but he was smiling, saying, “Luna’s most precious thing was her love for me. I took it away so she won’t love me anymore. She will spend the rest of her life with that excellent man and give birth to many children. And as for me, I will guard her love for me, die here, rot here.”

Then he smiled happily and died.

The curtains closed, the play was over.

Thinking of Natalie’s uncontrollable sobbing, Anna hurriedly hugged her, but she herself did not have the urge to cry.

After all, there was a real demon by her side, and the demon was not as sweet as in the opera. No, she even thought that demons would definitely not fall in love, because they were so strong. Why fall in love? Were they making things difficult for themselves? Embracing the beauties on the left and right, like flowing water, one after another, weren’t such days not great?

Anna was comforting Natalie, but she heard a sneer next to her: “What a lousy drama! This cowardly thing is not a demon, sacrificing himself to help others, it’s all nonsense!”

Anna snuck a glance at the demon, his hand was holding the handrail tightly, as if it would be crushed in the next moment, and his eyes stared at the curtain that had been drawn, as if to burn a hole out of it.

She couldn’t help sighing. He was taking things too real. It was not necessary, it really was not necessary.

The theater manager came over very soon, but what he saw was Rothgarr’s eyes that looked like he was going to kill with anger, he couldn’t help but tremble and say, “I don’t know—I don’t know what you are not satisfied with? Please tell me! ”

“I’m not satisfied with the whole show, it sucks.” Rothgarr said angrily, “I request you to rearrange it, demons are definitely not like the incompetent coward in that show!”

Unexpectedly, Rothgarr would make such a request. The theater manager suddenly showed an embarrassed expression.

As the initiator of the proposal to watch the opera, Anna hurriedly said, “Raymond, you are not a demon. Why do you care what the demon in the opera looks like?”

Rothgarr looked at Anna blankly: “…”

Anna smiled at him: “I think the show is ok, it’s pretty good. It’s just an opera. No one really sees an opera and thinks that demons like this. You can rest assured, it is still necessary to run if you see a demon.”

The theater manager glanced at Anna gratefully, and quickly agreed: “Yes, yes, that’s it.”

Rothgarr was in a bad mood when he saw the opera. He felt that the image of demons were tarnished, and after listening to Anna, he was in a different mood.

Run if you see a demon… was she talking about herself?

Tch, like she could run away?

The theater manager saw that Rothgarr didn’t look like he was going to fight or kill him anymore, he seemed to have transferred his anger to the young lady who was coaxing him. The theater manager hesitated a little, but didn’t say much.

They seemed to have a very close relationship, and the anger would pass quickly. He couldn’t bear the other’s anger.

The three were escorted out of the theater by the theater manager. It was still early, but no one spoke.
