Rotgar was relieved when he saw Dawkins at first. After all, this unattractive-looking forty-year-old man was no match for the young and handsome Raymond. Anna's taste was not that unique, let alone The other party was a two-star mage, while Raymond, who was much younger than him, was about to become a three-star mage.
But Dawkins's next roar made him change his expression. How dare this man dare to steal Anna from him? Don’t overestimate your capabilities!
Although Rotgar now gets a headache whenever he uses his mental power, he will not care about such trivial matters when he is furious. If you dare to covet his prey, you must be mentally prepared to be killed by him!
However, before Rotgar could do anything, Anna stepped forward and settled the dispute with one sentence: "Master Dawkins, Master Raymond just came with me to take a look at my working environment."
Dawkins was stunned: "Isn't he trying to snatch you away?"
Anna deliberately corrected him when she answered: "He doesn't need an assistant. I'm only taking over your tasks at the moment."
Dawkins took a long breath, the hostility in his eyes disappeared, and said with a smile: "That's okay, but it scared me to death. Anna, you can't abandon me. I have been waiting for you for more than half a year. If you If I leave, what will I do?"
"Don't worry, I won't give up on this mission for the time being." Anna once again deliberately corrected Dawkins' wording. If he said it so ambiguously again and angered the devil, then she really couldn't guarantee that it would happen. What's wrong
After hearing the conversation between Anna and Dawkins, Rotgar realized that it was Dawkins' vague words that led to his misunderstanding.
Although he was very unhappy to see Anna and Dawkins looking quite close, Dawkins cared about Anna's ability to complete the task rather than being fascinated by her charm. He was finally in a better mood than before.
Dawkins glanced at Rotgar, who looked unhappy, pulled Anna aside and whispered, "You and Master Raymond... who are you?"
Anna couldn't laugh or cry. She couldn't tell that Master Dawkins was quite gossipy.
"We are friends." Anna said, "He just comes to take a look and leaves when he likes it."
Dawkins chuckled and said, "If he is free, it's fine if he doesn't leave. You see, you are friends, and he can't watch you work alone, right? Is he supposed to help you?"
Anna looked at Dawkins as if she were looking at another person: "Mr. Dawkins, you are very brave." La Zhuangding actually dragged the mage who was about to become a three-star! And there’s still a terrifying demon underneath that man’s skin!
"Isn't this just to fulfill your friendship?" Dawkins was thick-skinned and smiled as always. "If he doesn't want to, forget it. Anyway, I just asked him casually."
"He can't do it even if he wants to. Some time ago we went to the line of life and death and were besieged by monsters. He is currently mentally exhausted and it will take a long time to recover." Anna said.
Dawkins said regretfully: "There is really nothing we can do about it. Let's have a chance next time."
Anna was filled with admiration after hearing this, and she was thinking about next time? Master Dawkins is really unscrupulous in order to find coolies...
"Mr. Dawkins, then I will start working."
Anna walked up to the devil and asked him: "Do you want to go back first, or watch me make an extraction? It takes forty minutes for me to do it, which is boring. If you want to watch, you can watch for a while and leave without telling me."
Anna asked the devil to come just to let him see with his own eyes that Master Dawkins posed no threat to him at all, so that he could feel at ease. After the purpose was achieved, she could naturally drive him away, but she still had to speak nicer words.
Lotgar said: "I'll see you do it."
He didn't have a good impression of Dawkins, and he didn't plan to leave for a while.
Anna nodded, moved a stool for Rotgar to sit aside, and she started the same pre-processing steps as yesterday.
Dawkins secretly observed Anna and "Raymond" at first, fearing that "Raymond's" presence would disturb Anna. Later, when he saw that Anna was concentrating and not affected at all, he couldn't help but give Anna a thumbs up in his heart.
An outstanding handsome man like Raymond can be undistracted by the side. Anna's determination is amazing. But this is not good, it is easy to miss love.
Dawkins couldn't help but think of when he was young, a beautiful girl who was a mage's apprentice like him would often come to the apothecary to see him and sit there for most of the day. At that time, he was also looking attentively like Anna. Later, the girl came It was less, and eventually it stopped coming at all. When he was young, he actually had a crush on the girl, but at that time he cared more about his potion, so when he finally completed the preparation of the potion and went to find the girl, she had already gone in and out with other mages. .
Now, the girl is the mother of two children, and he is still an old bachelor addicted to potion preparation.
Dawkins smiled bitterly. He actually didn't think much about these old things. After all, his life was usually filled with potions. It was only because the scene in front of him today felt familiar that he remembered it.
However, he thought that this pairing would end better than his original ending. Anna is a girl who is very good at talking and pleasing people, unlike him, who is too clumsy to get the girl he loves back. But if it's Anna... What man doesn't like a beautiful and sweet-tongued girl
Dawkins secretly observed the two of them, and gradually admired Raymond's patience.
He thought that a talented mage like Raymond wouldn't have the patience to watch a mage apprentice like Anna do the simplest pre-processing. He would leave after watching it for two minutes at most. Unexpectedly, he had seen Anna's appearance today. The first preprocessing is completed.
Dawkins couldn't help but lament that he had guessed wrong. He thought it must be the sweet-tongued and pretty Anna who was "haunting" Raymond. Now it seems that it was Raymond chasing Anna.
How wonderful it is to be young!
Anna had to multi-task when doing pre-treatment, so she was very focused and had no intention of paying attention to the devil. After she finished, she realized that he was still there.
She asked in surprise: "Why haven't you left yet?"
Rotgar frowned and said displeasedly: "Are you in a hurry to drive me away?"
Ana shook her head quickly: "No."
Isn't she afraid that he will be bored? She couldn't stay there for more than a few minutes without feeling any involvement at all.
Logically speaking, Rotgar is not a very patient person, but he has spent several months with Anna. The matter of "being patient with Anna" has become a habit in these months of repeated tossing. became his default habit.
He once spent several hours with Anna practicing the simplest spells without getting bored, and now he doesn't get bored watching her concentrate on handling the potion ingredients.
He gradually discovered that when Anna concentrated on doing something, the corners of her mouth always had a very shallow arc, as if she was immersed in it and happy for it. Whether it's reading a book, practicing spells, or processing raw materials like now.
He suddenly felt jealous of Anna's love for magic.
If she could transfer her love for magic to him...
Rotgar suddenly came back to his senses, clenched his fists, and deliberately added the unfinished thoughts just now - then, he could complete the bet with Balan.
Even though no one knew what he was thinking, Rotgar was still a little unhappy.
He suddenly stood up and said, "Since you don't want me to stay, I'll leave first."
Because the devil stayed and didn't bother her, Anna really didn't want to drive him away, and quickly said: "I really didn't think so, you..."
Rotgar did not listen to Anna's words and walked out directly.
Logically speaking, Anna could catch up and coax him. She believed that she could persuade him well under the current framework between the two of them, but she felt that it was not a big problem for him to get angry for such a small amount of time, and it was not a matter of principle - for example, he thought She was interested in another man and wanted to possess him - so she didn't pursue him, but started preparing for the second extraction.
Seeing this scene, Dawkins thought of the beloved girl who had been angered by his own disregard. He felt as if the tragedy was about to happen again. He couldn't help but feel a little unbearable. He reluctantly persuaded: "Anna, I'm not in a hurry here. You should still do it." Take your life as your top priority and don’t let Master Raymond feel cold.”
Anna hadn't started to deal with the thorn vine grass when she heard this and looked at Dawkins with an innocent smile in her sky-blue eyes: "Master Dawkins, do you want me to chase Master Raymond? But, if Master Raymond asked me not to do any more tasks here? You know the situation at his home... "
Anna didn't even need to explain clearly, Dawkins understood what Anna meant. With Raymond's family wealth, why would Anna need to come to him to do such a task
In an instant, all the sadness and unbearability flew away. Dawkins looked at Anna with a serious face and said: "You are right Anna, you must put the mission first! The thorn vine grass you deal with here can help you become proficient in your spells." , it will be of great benefit to your future, but don’t do something that will make you regret your whole life just because of the temporary love between your children. You believe me, your talent is extraordinary. In the future, when you become a four-star mage or even Five-star mages, there are many handsome young mages who want to be your guests!"
Anna really wanted to roll her eyes. She was only seventeen years old and he started telling her about looking for beauties when she got older? Even if she is willing, ask the devil if he agrees!
Anna said with a smile: "Please let me go, I'm going to start working."
Dawkins was still worried. When he was pushed away by Anna, he was still trying to persuade her: "Really Anna, feelings are the most unreliable. The only thing you can rely on is your magic. When your magic improves, let alone Raymond." Come on, I think all the young talents in the capital will want to pursue you."
Anna started to cook while thinking that their bodies would be finished.
When Dawkins saw Anna starting to work, he didn't dare to disturb her anymore. He quickly shut up and walked away, only looking at her worriedly from time to time.
Anna was more efficient today than yesterday. The high-intensity practice really helped her control her mental power. When the last wave of extraction liquid was ready, she found that the time it took to complete an extraction from start to finish had been shortened to three days. Seventeen minutes.
Although the improvement was not much, considering that this was only the result achieved in one day, she felt even more excited.
It seems that she is indeed a genius. She is more confident in becoming a five-star mage. The only thing she needs is time and the devil not to be wary of her... This will become more difficult later on, and she will have to Change strategies accordingly.
In two days, Anna prepared a total of forty-five portions of wattle grass extract for Dawkins. According to his past habits, he was almost ready to start his new potion experiment.
Originally, Dawkins had never thought of calling Anna during the new potion experiment, but Raymond's arrival gave Dawkins a sense of crisis. He felt that it was necessary to let Anna see the value of his potion room, so he treated Anna Said: "I plan to do my new potion experiment again tomorrow morning. If you are okay, you can come over. I believe you can learn something."
Anna was a little excited when she heard this. She was equivalent to an undergraduate freshman who was still doing test tube tests for graduate students and suddenly had the opportunity to come into contact with the boss's core experiment. Although she might not be able to understand it, how could she not see it with her own eyes
"Okay, thank you Master Dawkins, I will definitely come tomorrow!" Anna quickly made an appointment with Dawkins and left the pharmacy in a happy mood.
It is already half past seven in the evening, but because some magic potions in the association take a long time to prepare, and some mages are used to working in the middle of the night, whether it is the potion room or the meditation room, some are always open at night.
Anna went to the meditation room, meditated for more than half an hour, and recovered most of her mental strength. Then she planned to walk slowly to Natalie's house according to the address on her invitation.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Anna walked out of the association gate, she saw the door of a carriage parked nearby opened, revealing Raymond's handsome and expressionless face.
"boarding."
Anna was a little happy that she didn't have to walk by herself. She walked over quickly. Just as she was about to hold the armrest and get into the car, she saw the devil's hand reaching out to her.
She raised her eyes and saw the devil looking at her coldly, as if the hand was not his.
Anna paused, smiled, grabbed the devil's hand, and easily got on the carriage under his strong guidance.
"Thank you for coming here and waiting for me to come with you." She sat down in the seat opposite the devil and smiled sweetly.
Rotgar knocked on the wall of the carriage and signaled to the coachman that he could leave. The carriage quickly started to move. Then he looked at Anna again and said coldly: "Passing by."
Ana's smile did not change and she changed her words: "Oh, thank you for coming over and picking me up."
Rotgar was not an unreasonable demon. He had already seen the non-threatening two-star mage in the afternoon. He was angered by Anna just because of an indescribable guilty conscience. Therefore, he actually meditated for a few times after returning home. After an hour to regain my energy, I returned to the entrance of the association.
It was only five o'clock in the afternoon when he arrived, and he waited until now at eight-thirty without any impatience.
But when he saw Anna, he thought of his displeasure before separation, and still subconsciously reacted coldly. It was obvious that Anna didn't seem to realize how unhappy he was when he left before, and he was a little annoyed.
He simply shut up and said no more.
Anna had been busy all day, and her hair was a little loose. Seeing that the devil didn't pay attention to her, she didn't take the initiative to speak. She just untied her hair and tied it into a centipede braid again. Since there was no mirror, she didn't know how her face looked, but after thinking about the looks of the female mages she saw in the association, she felt it didn't matter.
The number of female mages in the association is slightly smaller than that of male mages. Compared with ordinary noble girls, they pay less attention to appearance and focus more on the refinement of spells. Of course, because most of the female mages are nobles after all, no matter how little attention is paid to them, they are usually very delicate. But after a whole day of spell practice or potion preparation, her face would definitely not look better. She often saw female mages with bad faces in the meditation room and pharmacy room.
Although most of the mages are nobles, they are somewhat separated from ordinary nobles. Some of the requirements and rules of the nobles will no longer apply to mages.
Anna quickly tidied up her appearance and looked at the devil again. Although he looked a little pale, his handsome face and cold temperament made him look noble and proud.
He is a handsome man who will be flocked to by noble girls and ladies.
Anna secretly smiled. She was a little curious whether there would be a disdainful lady pestering him later. After all, in this era, it would be nice for a noble lady to have one or two lovers. With his beauty and temperament, it would be too easy for someone to be attracted to him. Targeted.
But if this happened, of course she would save him. After all, she couldn't let him get so angry that he flipped the table.
Anna's furtive look could not escape Rotgar's eyes. He did not stop her. Even though he didn't notice, his mood subtly improved.
The carriage arrived at Natalie's home, Baron Wright's mansion, and stopped outside the mansion.
Baron Wright's mansion is not large, so there is not enough space for guests to park carriages. Many carriages can only be parked outside the mansion, but the number is not so large as to block the road.
After all, Baron Wright is just a baron, and it is the birthday party of the family's youngest daughter. If he hadn't taken the opportunity to make connections, he wouldn't have held a birthday party with great fanfare in the name of his youngest daughter's mage apprentice. But even so, not many could come. Someone with special status.
Rotgar and Anna got out of the car together and handed the invitation to the butler who greeted the guests at the door. After reading the invitation, the butler hurriedly and respectfully led the way: "Master Mage, please come with me. This way."
Anna knew that his respect was for the devil, but she didn't care, and walked inside, looking at Natalie's home curiously along the way.
This place is certainly not comparable to the Earl's Mansion in Blue Stone City where Anna once stayed. The Earl's Mansion is already a manor, and this place is at best a large villa. After the gate, there is a small garden decorated with green plants and flowers, and then there is the main entrance.
Baron Wright and his sons and daughters were greeting guests at the door. The butler shouted before he even came near: "Sir, Master Raymond is here!" He paused and added, "There is also Miss Natalie's friend, Master Anna. .”
Baron Wright is now in his fifties. He is a slightly fat man. From his facial features, you can see how handsome he was when he was young. However, as he gets older and has gained weight, his appearance is somewhat out of shape. In addition, he has a slightly flattering look. His expression made him look a little disgusting.
At least this was the mood of Rotgar and Anna when they saw him approaching, subtly synchronized.
Natalie was standing behind her parents and brothers and sisters. When she saw Anna, her eyes lit up and she quickly passed over her brothers and sisters to greet her.
"Anna!"
Anna held Natalie's hand. Today, Natalie was wearing a light pink complicated skirt. It could be seen that she was carefully dressed and looked bright and attractive.
However, when she unconsciously showed the liveliness of a child when facing Anna, her bright and moving appearance was gone. She even stuck out her tongue and made a face at Anna.
Anna was amused, she was still a child.
Baron Wright glanced at his unsteady little daughter displeasedly. Seeing that Master Raymond did not show any impatience, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Master Raymond, Natalie is still a naive little girl. There’s trouble for you in the association.”
"No, she is in trouble with Anna." Rotgar's tone was devoid of any euphemism.
Baron Wright was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the apprentice mage who came with Master Raymond. Natalie just said yesterday that she wanted to invite her friend. After hearing that he was also a mage apprentice, he didn't pay much attention. Until today, she suddenly came home and said that she wanted to invite the eldest son of Viscount Ledford, who is now a two-star mage. Master Raymond came.
Baron Wright thought that it was just her luck that Master Raymond took Natalie to the line between life and death. After all, there were other Master apprentices besides her, but he really didn't expect that she could invite Master Raymond to come. At home, they thought Natalie had finally made her mark, and since the morning they had been looking forward to the evening banquet where they could meet Master Raymond in person. If Natalie could marry Master Raymond, she would become the future Viscountess, so of course he would not let Natalie marry that wealthy businessman who could afford a large sum of money.
However, from the looks of it, this Raymond mage seems to have come with the civilian mage named Anna
Rotgar's cold attitude did not affect Baron Wright's attitude. His smile was still impeccably flattering. It seemed that he did not hear the coldness in Rotgar's words. He laughed twice and said: "Can you Come, it’s the best birthday gift for Natalie!”
He then looked at Anna with a kind smile: "Mr. Anna, you are the good friend Natalie has always talked about, right? Thank you very much for taking care of her. Natalie has always been very reckless. Having a friend like you It would be nice to help.”
Different from the flattery towards Master Raymond, when facing Anna, Baron Wright had a vague appearance of an elder facing a junior. He didn't understand Anna's talent. After all, Anna's time as a mage apprentice was too short. Even the members of the Mage Association, most of them didn't know her talent. Even if Natalie told him that Anna was very powerful, he Didn't take it to heart. After all, someone who could become friends with his daughter, a mage apprentice who had failed the one-star mage test many times, couldn't possibly be that good.
Therefore, Baron Wright believed that it would be the end if Anna could pass the one-star mage examination and become a baron. An ordinary civilian mage with no background could not have much future, so he did not bother to maintain the relationship.
"Yes, I admire Natalie very much and I am very happy to be friends with her." Anna smiled gracefully.
Then, Anna sent her reading notes and insights in front of Baron Wright, but Baron Wright didn't react much to this. After all, how powerful can a mage apprentice's notes be
But Natalie was different. Even though Natalie knew a lot of the contents in the notebook, she still excitedly accepted the love Anna gave her.
Rotgar also took out a small box and threw it to Natalie casually.
Natalie was flattered and said, "Thank you so much, Raymond Master!"
The box was small but a bit heavy, and there was a crisp sound of collision when it was picked up. Natalie couldn't help but guess what was inside.
When Baron Wright saw that Master Raymond had prepared a gift for Natalie, his eyes lit up and he directed the butler to invite the two of them into the banquet hall.
Natalie quickly whispered: "See you later, Anna!"
Anna smiled and winked, and went in first with the devil.
After the two left, Baron Wright asked: "What is the relationship between Master Raymond and Anna?"
Natalie looked at her father, shook her head slightly and said, "I'm not sure."
She didn't want to tell her father about Master Raymond and Anna, lest he have any bad ideas.
Baron Wright frowned and asked again: "What gift did he give you?"
Natalie pursed her lips and reluctantly opened the box. Inside was a mixture of gold coins and empty crystals, worth about a hundred gold coins.
This obviously didn't take much thought. Baron Wright was a little disappointed and waved his hand for Natalie to put it away.
Natalie quickly put it away and stepped back to be her transparent person, but her thoughts had already flown to the banquet hall. How can you be as happy as Anna when you stay with her family? She used to spend a lot of time in the association among the members of the association, but it was only three or four hours a day at most. Unlike now, she stayed in the association the whole day. If possible, she wanted to follow Anna at night. go back.
Natalie was slightly distracted, following her parents like a puppet to greet every guest who came.
"What gift did you give Natalie?" Anna asked curiously after walking into the banquet hall. She originally thought that the devil would not prepare a gift for Natalie.
Rotgar looked at her and said, "You can ask her yourself."
"Forget it if you don't tell me." Anna was just curious. If the devil didn't say anything, she stopped asking and looked at the banquet hall.
This building is obviously old, and there are even some dry cracks in the corners of the ceiling. However, the places below that ordinary people can notice are quite carefully decorated, and no traces of time can be seen.
Anna hadn't eaten dinner yet. She glanced around and saw buffet food. Before walking over, she asked the devil: "I'll have something to eat first. Do you want to join me?"
Rotgar didn't have dinner that night either. He nodded and walked to the buffet table with Anna.
Anna first ate two pieces of snacks to fill her stomach, and then slowly picked what she wanted to eat. After a while, she was half full and stopped.
"Anna!" Natalie walked over quickly and hugged Anna's arm. The fatigue from greeting guests at the door seemed to be gone.
Anna smiled: "Happy birthday, Natalie!"
"Thank you, Anna! I'm so glad you're with me for my birthday this year!" Natalie blushed and asked expectantly, "Can you also spend my birthday with me next year?"
"Of course," Anna responded, assuming she wasn't killed by a demon that failed to achieve its goal.
"Great! Come, let me take you to see my room!" Natalie said excitedly, and then she lowered her voice and asked, "Is Master Raymond okay?"
Anna smiled and said: "It's okay, he won't follow us to a lady's bedroom."
Anna walked up to Rotgar and said, "I'll go to her room with Natalie first."
Rotgar said coldly: "Yes."
Anna didn't care about his attitude, and after finishing speaking, she happily followed Natalie upstairs.
Natalie's bedroom is on the third floor. It is a suite. The entire interior is pink, just like a little princess's room.
Natalie said shyly: "My room was like this ten years ago, and it has never changed..."
"It's pretty good, very childlike." Anna smiled.
Seeing that there was only curiosity and appreciation in Anna's eyes, Natalie felt relieved and took Anna to see her collection. Even after becoming a mage's apprentice, Natalie's preferences are not much different from those of ordinary aristocratic girls. She likes all kinds of beautiful clothes, exquisitely handmade dolls, and small and cute accessories...
The two laughed for a while, and Anna suddenly remembered the devil's gift and asked: "Natalie, what gift did Master Raymond give you?" She was still a little worried whether the devil would give Natalie any danger. s things.
Natalie said: "It's some gold coins and empty crystals."
Ana blinked: "It looks familiar."
Natalie lowered her voice and said, "I also feel... It seems to be the apology the York family made to Master Raymond before."
Anna also thought of the gold coins and empty crystals that she couldn't get, and couldn't help but smile: "So he just grabbed a handful after returning home and threw them into the box as a gift for you."
If it wasn't the devil's own thing, she would be relieved.
"Probably..." Natalie chuckled. Although the gift might not reach her in the end, she was also very happy. Even though it was in Anna's favor, Master Raymond's gift was given to her just like Anna. Unlike other birthday gifts given to her, it was actually a compliment to her father.
While Anna and Natalie were happily enjoying their private time upstairs, Rotgar stayed in the corner with a cold gaze. Suddenly, his expression changed slightly and he looked straight in a certain direction.
It was a beautiful teenage girl. She was talking to the ladies around her, making them laugh until they covered their mouths. But what concerned Rotgar was the pendant hanging on the girl's chest. It had a familiar aura, as if it had once been his, but he had no memory of the pendant.
The girl was very perceptive. After Rotgar looked at her for a while, she also looked over. After seeing clearly who was staring at her, the girl raised her eyebrows in surprise, confessed to the ladies around her, and then looked graceful. came to Lotgar.
"Master Raymond, it's a great honor to meet you here. My name is Magnolia. If you like, you can call me Mag." The girl saluted gracefully, with a slender neck and a soft skirt. The beautiful curves of her figure are dazzlingly white under the candlelight, attracting the attention of others.
The girl knew how she looked most beautiful. She felt the eyes of the man in front of her fall on her chest, and she sneered in her heart. So what if he was a young and talented mage? He's not even a hot-blooded man.
As soon as the girl straightened up, she heard the man in front of her ask: "Where did you get your pendant?"
She frowned slightly. Could it be that what he was looking at just now was just the pendant on her chest
She chuckled and said: "You are really discerning. This is a ruby pendant passed down from my ancestors. It is said that only those with the god-given beauty recognized by it can wear it without bad luck. I have already worn this pendant. ten years."
Rotgar did not listen to her praise of her own beauty, but looked at the pendant and wondered what was going on.
It has been nearly a hundred years since he last came to the human world. Did he leave any pendant like this behind? Maybe it's something sealed in the pendant
Because he couldn't remember it, Rotgar didn't bother to think about it anymore. Anyway, it wouldn't have any impact on what he was doing now.
He looked back at the pendant and sneered: "This pendant has no such use, otherwise you would have died long ago."
Magnolia was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then realized that Master Raymond was saying that she was not as beautiful as she said.
She almost couldn't keep the smile on her face.
It seems that she still underestimated Master Raymond. He is indeed not very gentlemanly as the rumors say, but because of this, it is more interesting to have him surrender under her charm, isn't it
"You are absolutely right, Master Raymond. Legends are just legends after all. They can be used as conversation materials. If you really believe them, it would be too naive." Magnolia covered her lips and chuckled, "Did you come alone? I really didn’t expect to see you here, maybe the goddess has already made arrangements somewhere.”
"Shut up." Rotgar really had no patience for people other than Anna. Hearing Magnolia chatter, he said with a cold face.
Magnolia looked at him in shock. At first she thought she had heard wrong. When she came back to her senses, she was angry and ashamed. Why was this man so rude? Can't he see what a beautiful girl is standing in front of him
Magnolia's chest heaved with anger, and she stood there frozen, unable to get off the stage. However, she saw Master Raymond, who was looking at her impatiently, suddenly looking in a certain direction, and the expression on his face suddenly changed, cold and hard. The corners of his mouth curved slightly, and his cold eyes seemed to have warmth and look.
Magnolia followed his gaze and saw two girls coming down the stairs, one tall and one short, both wearing mage robes. Looking at the other badges on their chests, they were both mage apprentices. One of them she knew was Natalie Wright, the titular protagonist of this birthday party, but the other she had never seen.
She frowned slightly, which one was Master Raymond looking at
Anna and Natalie went downstairs talking and laughing. After all, Natalie was the protagonist and could not hide in her room all the time. As soon as the two of them walked down the stairs, Anna noticed a girl standing in front of the devil. Upon closer inspection, she found that she was still a very charming girl. She exuded irresistible charm. Even Anna, who was also a woman, could not bear to look at her. Can't help but want to take a second look.
"Who is the girl standing in front of Master Raymond?" Anna asked Natalie in a low voice.
Natalie glanced at her and said, "Her name is Magnolia, she is the daughter of Baron Simon." She paused and then added, "I don't like her."
Anna didn't ask Natalie why she didn't like Magnolia. Since Natalie didn't like it, then she didn't like it either.
You don’t have too many friends, just one close friend is enough.
Anna guessed that the girl might be chatting with the devil. After all, the one he chose this time had the same young, handsome and excellent body, and was very popular with young girls. If she didn't know that there was a devil under his skin, she might also like him.
She asked Natalie in a low voice: "Has she ever bullied you before?"
Natalie hesitated before saying: "When I was a child... When I was a child, there was a very good-looking boy who liked to play with me, but she later snatched him away."
"It's still an old grudge." Anna said with emotion.
Natalie said sheepishly: "It's true that it all happened when I was a kid, but I just don't like her..."
Anna asked: "What happened next? She abandoned that good-looking boy again?"
Natalie nodded: "Yeah! She just wanted to take away other people's good things! But then I didn't like that boy anymore."
"You really can't have that kind of half-hearted boy." Anna said.
Natalie hesitantly said: "No...that boy lost all his hair later and was so ugly."
Anna: “…”
Well, everyone is obsessed with appearance, and it seems that the boy is not good enough to hold the bald head look.
"Do you want revenge?" Anna asked Natalie in a low voice.
Natalie originally wanted to say that she wouldn't have much contact with her when she grew up, so she didn't want to, but seeing how interested Anna seemed to be, she suddenly became interested and nodded excitedly: "I want to!"
"Well, let's retaliate in kind and let her have a taste of having her things taken away!" Anna said very confidently. As long as the devil is still interested in her soul, she will have this kind of confidence.
"Okay!" Natalie's eyes lit up.
Anna and Natalie adjusted their mage robes and walked up to Rotgar and Magnolia with great momentum. Natalie consciously took a small step back. She was just a spectator now.
Anna had a critical smile on her face, and her eyes paused on Magnolia. Looking at it from a close distance, the girl looked even more beautiful. Her skin was fair and translucent, without any blemishes, and her facial features were as delicate as fine carvings. The beautiful handicrafts made with meticulous care are hard to take your eyes away from.
Thinking of what she was here for, Anna quickly woke up, then suddenly approached the devil, reached out and took his arm, half of her body hung on his arm, looked up at him, and asked pretentiously: "Thunder Mond, who is she? I've only been away for a while, and are there flies biting her?"
After hearing Anna's words, Magnolia's expression changed, and she even dared to call her a fly!
But what Master Raymond said next made her even more angry.
Rotgar was a little surprised to see Anna like this, and wondered if it was because she was jealous when she saw this woman talking to him? That's why he deliberately made such an intimate move in front of this woman.
He was in such a good mood that he didn't deliberately control the almost subconscious action - he put his arms around Ana's waist.
"Noisy as flies, indeed," he said coldly.
Although Anna was startled by the devil's sudden embrace of her waist, the play continued. She raised her finger and gently poked the devil's chest, saying coquettishly: "It's all your fault for being too gentle and always attracting bees." Die, otherwise how could there be so many people who don’t know their own abilities?”
When Magnolia heard the word "gentle", she immediately thought of Raymond's "shut up" just now, and how he had sarcastically belittled her beauty before.
Where is his gentleness? Does this woman want to show off that Master Raymond is only gentle to her? damn it!
Seeing the woman nestled in Master Raymond's arms suddenly blinking at her, which was a demonstration belonging to the winner, Magnolia's beautiful face finally became distorted.
She was so angry!
Natalie on the side watched intently, clutching her chest just feeling so good. She knew it would be exciting, but she didn't know it would be this exciting! Anna is so awesome, she actually dares to do this... It's so exciting!
