CH 80.3

Anna is in the Demon Realm (3)

He suddenly remembered what Anna said before she fell into a coma, and asked, “What’s the matter with giving me your soul?”

Anna looked at him, as if puzzled, thinking he was sounding her out: “You keep proposing to me, isn’t it because as long as I agree it would be like signing a contract, and you would be able to get my soul?”

Hearing Anna’s answer, Rothgarr showed a strange expression: “Where did you hear this from?”

“…Everyone talks about this.” Anna couldn’t say she heard this from the fairy tale book she read before she transmigrated over here. She could only speak vaguely.

And Rothgarr didn’t seem to care either, because right now, he was conflicted by absurd feelings. It turned out that Anna kept rejecting him for this strange reason?

At this time, how could Anna not understand that her thinking was wrong. It turned out that this matter of demons wanting human souls was a part of a child’s tale in her world. But in this other world, this inference could not necessarily be established.

However, he had been proposing to her inexplicably. Wasn’t this too suspicious!

“Why did you keep proposing to me?” she asked.

Rothgarr glanced at Anna and didn’t hide the truth: “I made a bet with Balan that one hundred human women would agree to my proposals within half a year.”

Anna looked at Rothgarr and said after a while, “That’s it?”

Above her head were endless question marks. Were the Dukes of The Abyss this idle? To bet on this kind of thing, they must be real idle!

She remembered something and asked: “If I agreed when you proposed to me the first time, would you have gone to someone else?”

After Anna explained her misunderstanding, Rothgarr had come to understand that the first time when she fell in front of Parrish’s carriage was by no means intentional. Thinking of how she was watching him pretend in these recent months, he felt a fire in his heart that he wanted to vent.

“Yes, but before that, l would torture you to death.” Rothgarr lifted Anna’s chin and stared straight at her with bright red eyes.

Anna saw the maliciousness in his eyes clearly, and her whole body froze.

Then she was lucky. She made the right choice with the wrong thinking; otherwise, who knew how early on she would have died.

Not knowing if Anna’s fear pleased him, Rothgarr let go of her with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and said, “Now let’s talk about Aosta.”

“Aosta?” Anna was very unfamiliar with this name.

Rothgarr said: “The one who you secretly hid in your home.”

Anna’s heart tightened when she heard this, but then she thought that her struggle with this demon was over; so what if she let him know?

“Oh, you’re talking about Abel. He was picked up by me about two months ago and has been living with me.” As Anna said this, she thought of the scene where Abel transformed into a demon, and her right arm seemed to throb lightly in the pain. She pursed her lips and smiled weakly, “So it turns out he is also a demon.”

“You can see me, but not him?” Rothgarr sneered.

Anna smiled: “Yeah, who knows why?”

Seeing Anna laughing sadly, Rothgarr’s heart felt a wave of sadness, and he lowered his eyes: “Are you in love with him?”

Anna looked at him in surprise: “Of course not, he just…”

She thought of what he looked like when he became a demon, took a deep breath and said, “When he stayed with me, he was thirteen or fourteen years old.” If she could fall in love with a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, then she would be considered a pervert!

Rothgarr said, “You mean he was totally human when he was with you?”

“Yes, he had dark lines on his face when I found him. I thought he was a dark mage.” Anna replied truthfully.

Rothgarr remembered the dark mage called Dubian.

He sneered: “You really like taking people in.”

Anna glanced at him without refuting. Anyway, she would definitely not take people in in the future. If she had a future.

Anna was actually wondering why she was in the Demon Realm at the moment.

It stands to reason that after she promised to marry the demon, as he said, he should kill her, but he didn’t seem to have the intention to, and he also healed her injuries. Moreover, he was very idle now, and it seemed that he was not in a hurry to complete the bet at all.

She asked tentatively, “Don’t you have to propose to another human woman? I’m not the last one, right?”

Rothgarr grabbed a strand of Anna’s long reddish-brown hair, intentionally or unintentionally, and played with it in his hand. Touching her hair with his own body felt very different from using someone else’s body.

Seems more delicate and smoother.

He casually replied: “You were the first one. After Balan met you, he changed his bet. I just had to let you agree to win.”

Anna glanced at Rothgarr’s hand that was playing with her hair. She looked away as if she didn’t see, and asked cautiously, “So, did you bring me to the Demon Realm to prove to Balan that you won the bet?”

Before, she thought she was dead for sure, so she was a little broken when facing Balan, but after knowing the truth, she of course had to fight for a chance for survival.

She still wanted to go back to Black Cloud City. She wanted to continue to climb the levels! Even if it was not to defeat the demon, learning magic itself was a very interesting thing. Without the pressure of the demon, she would be able to learn more easily and enjoy it more.

Rothgarr sneered as soon as Anna finished speaking.

“There’s no need for that.”

Anna’s heart skipped a beat and she summoned the courage to ask, “Then why did you bring me to the Demon Realm?”

She suddenly thought of the intimacy between the girl named Catherine and Balan. Catherine looked like an ordinary human being. How could she be with Balan in the Demon Realm?
