Anna's eyes widened and her lips trembled not from surprise, but from fear.
The physiological tears she shed due to the pain blurred her vision, so she could not see the man's appearance clearly. She only knew that the other man was a young man with a pleasant voice.
She was also startled when the other princess carried her into the carriage, but her knee was injured and she was frightened for a moment, so she had no time to react.
As she wiped away her tears, she also heard the man's proposal.
But she didn't have time to be surprised, because when her vision returned, she saw a scene that made her almost scream.
—There is a demon with goat horns hidden in this handsome man’s body!
Anna has been in this different world for several days, and she knows that this world has mage spells, and demons no longer only exist in fables.
But these supernatural elements have been too far away from her these days, and she has never felt it. Until today, she saw a living demon possessing a handsome man, and he actually proposed to her!
Although the body Anna possesses after traveling through time can be regarded as a little beauty, there is no reason for the devil to fall in love at first sight. Then, there is only one reason for the devil to propose to her - he is interested in her soul and wants to trick her into entering into a contract by making her agree to the proposal!
Anna grew up watching stories such as "One Thousand and One Nights" and "Aesop's Fables" and knew that most people who make contracts with the devil will not end well.
"I reject."
Anna spoke her answer with fear and faint anticipation.
When she saw the other person's face darken because of her rejection, the fear in her heart almost came out of her throat.
Will this demon kill her out of anger
She thought almost desperately, after she died, would she wear it back
After being briefly surprised, Rotgar thought that the other party did not understand what he meant.
"Beautiful lady, maybe I didn't make it clear enough. I don't want you to be my lover, but I want you to marry me under the witness of a priest, take my last name, and become Mrs. Wilson." Rotgart Suppressing the impatience in his heart, he still invoked Parrish's memory.
Even though he thought he was restrained enough, because his goal was not achieved immediately, there was a hint of murderous intent in his tone.
… This is too scary!
Anna trembled. If she continued to refuse, he would really kill her, right
But if she agrees to him, her end will be worse than death!
Anna lowered her head, her hands tightly grasping the hem of her skirt out of fear, her knuckles turning white. After a brief silence, she had no choice but to reply desperately: "I... refuse."
The next moment, the raging malice in the carriage made Anna freeze up. She didn't dare to look up at the other person, nor did she dare to say a word.
She just prayed silently in her heart, hoping that she could go back to modern times after her death.
Rotgar almost took action.
Very good. Before, he thought that he would give her a good time once she agreed, but he didn't expect that she would waste his time playing hard-to-get tricks with him.
If Balan hadn't promised Balan not to use force, he would have held her neck to make her agree, and let her feel how stupid it was to tease a Grand Duke of the Abyss before he died.
"Beautiful lady, I am a gentleman. Although I admire you very much, if you are unwilling to agree to my proposal, then I will have no choice but to let you go free."
When Rotgar said this, the smile was no longer on his face.
This was his last chance for this human woman.
If she dares to continue teasing him, as a "thank you", he will let her live until the end of her life, and she will be tortured every day before her death.
Anna was stunned when she heard the devil's words.
“Set you free”…
Is there such a good thing? !
This time, Anna was more determined. She raised her head to look at the other person, but when she saw the evil demon hidden under that handsome face, she lowered her head in horror.
"I... am not worthy of you, please allow me to refuse." She gritted her teeth and said softly from the bottom of her heart.
Lotgar fell into a long silence.
So, because he hasn't been to the human world for too long, has the human world turned into something he doesn't recognize
He looked at the human woman who had her head lowered and her hands holding the hem of her skirt had veins popping out from the force. He tried very hard to control the urge to strangle her neck and force her to agree.
Since he had promised Balaam, he would not break his promise.
"Where do you live? I'll take you home." Rotgar said almost word for word.
Anna almost cried when she heard the devil's words and felt the unconcealed malice in them.
The devil said he would send her home! Is it to make sure that she can run away but the monk cannot run away from the temple
But then she thought about it, it was impossible for her not to go home. Isn't it easy for a devil to know her home
"My home is in Pomegranate Lane, you can just take me to the entrance of the lane." Anna replied in a low voice, her tone was very respectful.
Since you can't resist, just accept it...
Rotgar didn't know where Pomegranate Lane was, but he knocked on the car wall: "Did you hear that?"
The sound insulation effect of this carriage is so poor that the two people outside can actually hear roughly the conversation inside the carriage. Upon hearing this, the coachman immediately said: "Yes, Master Parrish!"
The four-wheel carriage that had been parked started to move. The coachman driving the carriage and the valet sitting outside were quiet. The only sounds that could be heard were the rumble of the carriage and the sounds of people in the street coming through the walls of the carriage.
Anna lowered her head and said nothing, and did not dare to raise her head to look at "Master Parrish" for fear that her eyes and expression would reveal something.
Just wait until you get home, just wait until you get home...
Until Anna got off the car not far from Pomegranate Lane, "Master Parrish" said nothing more. After the carriage door closed, the car quickly disappeared from Anna's sight. She glanced at her bleeding knee and limped. Turn around and walk inside.
She said she wanted to take care of her injuries, but in the end she didn't even take care of the wounds. She knew that the devil was there. Fortunately, she was decisive and neither promised him nor let him find out that she could see him.
She believed that it was impossible for an ordinary person to discover possession by a demon, and that her ability, which may be related to time travel, must not be known to the demon.
Pomegranate Lane is located to the west of Blue Stone City. Although it is not a slum, it is not far away. Anna deliberately got off the car in advance to avoid the appearance of the luxury carriage causing a commotion.
As soon as she took two steps inside, she saw someone sobbing softly. She looked around and saw an eight or nine-year-old boy trying his best to suppress his cries. His body was covered with scars, old and new, large and small. Hearing the movement, the boy suddenly looked up, his brown eyes full of panic.
Ana pursed her lips, looked away, and walked silently.
The boy was Bobby the Butcher's son, and she knew he must have been beaten by his father again. Before she came here, Bobby had drunkenly beat his wife until she couldn't move on the bed. After she came here, she also saw Bobby beating his child once. At that time, she innocently went to stop him, but not only failed to stop him. He beat people while watching Bobby, and was pushed down by Bobby.
This era is different after all, and the people around her have long been numb to all this. The wife and children belong to the head of the family. Even if someone is beaten to death, no one will care. They have done their best for their own survival and have no intention of caring about the lives of others.
The little girl Anna is wearing is seventeen years old. She is just an ordinary civilian. In addition to her and her parents, she has two younger brothers and a younger sister at home. Although the family is not hungry, they are just fed and fed.
The level of productivity in this era is similar to the Middle Ages she knew. Supernatural elements such as wizards' spells exist, but they are rare. At least she hasn't seen them in the past few days since she traveled here - until she saw one just now. A demon with goat horns who has trouble with her for some reason.
Anna inherited all the memories of the original person, but this memory was like a foreign language she learned, and there was a certain distance between it and herself. It even took her nearly a day to speak fluently.
She didn't know why she came here, and she didn't know how to go back. She was depressed for two days before she cheered up - at least she had to survive in this bad era first.
It was only then that Anna suddenly remembered that the man possessed by the devil just now seemed to be the son of Earl Wilson, the lord of Blue Stone City and surrounding areas. Everyone called him Master Parrish.
Because of the shock and fear that the demon brought to her, she didn't even notice that the lord's son was young and handsome.
She couldn't help but feel lucky that thanks to her wit, she had not been deceived into signing a contract with a devil, otherwise Master Parrish would have been her future.
Rotgar was initially confident about winning the bet, but his first attempt failed, which made him wonder whether the human world had changed.
The carriage returned to the mansion of Earl Wilson, the lord of Blue Stone City. Rotgar relied on Parrish's memories to avoid arousing suspicion.
When passing by the garden of the Earl's Mansion, a blond maid who had some impression in Parrish's memory was watering the flowers. When she saw him, the tall maid immediately put down the shower head and raised her skirt to salute: "Good day, Master Parrish!"
Rotgar paused, recalled Parrish's memory, and said with a smile: "Abigail, are you willing..."
Hearing the handsome and charming young master call her name with a magnetic voice, Abigail almost fainted with excitement. She held her face in her hands and screamed excitedly: "I do! I do! Master Parrish , you can do anything to me!"
The smile on Rotgar's face quickly disappeared, and he took a small step back in disgust, as if he was afraid of being contaminated by something.
But at the same time, he felt a sense of satisfaction that things were back on track.
This was the human world he was familiar with, and it was the disgusting appearance of human women in his impression.
So, what happened to the human woman who deliberately fell in front of his car
