Anna felt very heavy when she followed Rotgar upstairs.
Everything just happened so fast, she didn't have the strength to stop anything, and she didn't even fully understand all the truth.
She just thought a little sadly, Catherine is really a gentle and good girl.
Anna remembered that before she had a falling out with Catherine, Catherine mentioned her sister. It turned out that her sister was named Carol.
She remembered that when she was still in the human world, she had heard that the eldest daughter of the Viscount York family died of illness and the second daughter was suspected of missing. She did not expect that they were all harmed by Balan.
She originally thought that Catherine designed to force Balan to live longer, and she also thought that Balan was just lying to Catherine when he said he wanted to sign a soul contract with Catherine.
But today she knew she had it all wrong.
Catherine was out for revenge, but Balaam really fell in love with Catherine, but he didn't expect that it was his love that killed Catherine.
It turns out that it is really possible for demons to fall in love with humans.
So, does Catherine love Balaam
Now Anna still thinks that Catherine only thought that Balaam did not really love her, so she tricked Balaam into signing a soul contract. She believed that she would not die after signing.
So did Catherine fall in love with Balaam when she thought Balaam did not really love her
Anna thought of a place that was a bit puzzling to her.
Catherine should have used some method to control Balan through the soul contract, so she could have given Balan orders after Lotgar left. Why did she do it while Lotgar was still there
She thought of many possibilities in an instant.
Catherine was so driven by her desire to seek revenge early that she lost her mind half way through her goal, or believed too much in the power she wielded.
Catherine was in too much pain. She wanted to die immediately after killing Balaam, so she did it in front of Lotgar just to make Lotgar kill her in anger afterwards.
Catherine actually fell in love with Balaam, but her sister died because of Balaam. She was in pain for her love. She couldn't let go of revenge and couldn't let go of Balan, so she deliberately attacked Lotgar in front of him. She didn't want to Balaam died.
The beauty is gone, Anna will never know what Catherine is thinking, and she is not going to make random guesses anymore.
After walking and thinking like this, when Anna came back to her senses, she found that she was already in front of her room door.
Rotgar, who was walking in front, said, "Go and pack the things you want to take away."
Ana was stunned: "Are you leaving now?"
She thought that if something like this happened, Rotgar would at least stay a few more days to comfort Balan.
"I have obtained the abyss tree seeds and attended the wedding. What else are you doing with them?" Rotgar said with a cold face.
Anna thought to herself, yes, looking at Balaam's appearance, he didn't need Lotgar's comfort, and if Lotgar comforted people, he might make them cry.
She really wanted to leave here now, so she quickly went into the room to pack her things. There were only a few dresses in the wardrobe. She had only worn a few pieces before. She packed these few pieces and hurried out.
Seeing Anna holding a large ball of clothes in her hand, Rotgar thought for a moment that there was nothing in his castle and endured it.
The two walked to the terrace one after another, and Anna suddenly whispered: "Thank you for protecting me just now."
Rotgar paused, but he didn't stop to say anything. He walked straight to the terrace, turned around and opened his hands towards Anna.
Ana suddenly felt nervous and walked over to him. When he hugged her waist tightly, unfolded his flesh wings, and flew into the sky, she looked at the gradually smaller castle.
She was feeling a little heavy now, but a ray of light seemed to shine through the heavyness.
Demons can fall in love with humans.
Of course, Balaam could fall in love with Catherine, but Rotgar would not necessarily fall in love with her... But how to put it, it was better than the worst case scenario she had thought.
At this time, Anna could no longer deny that she had feelings for Rotgar that exceeded the limit of ordinary friends. However, under the premise that it was impossible for a demon to fall in love with a human, how could she dare to let it go
Of course, she couldn't let it go now.
There are still many problems between demons and humans.
And she still wanted to return to the human world. Even if Rotgar liked her, she felt that she was not willing to stay in the demon world.
But for now, it seems that he will not let her return to the human world.
Thinking about the practical problems she faced, Anna felt that her little feelings could be put aside.
The goal she wants to achieve most right now is to find a chance to return to the human world.
Time passed while Anna was thinking wildly. In her feeling, about an hour or two passed, and she saw a castle standing alone in the desert in the distance.
The shape of this castle is not much different from that of Balan. At first glance, it seems to be in disrepair. However, upon closer inspection, you will find that it is indeed very historical...
Rotgar lowered himself to the terrace and let go of Anna.
Anna looked inside curiously.
Rotgar walked inside, and as he walked, the lamps on both sides were lit.
He stopped in front of a room, turned back to Anna and said, "You can choose wherever you want to live."
When he opened the door, Anna quickly asked: "Is there any place that I'm prohibited from going to?"
Rotgar looked back at her: "What do you want to do?"
Anna smiled: "I'm just curious and want to look around."
Rotgar sneered: "It's up to you to see. The teleportation array is at the bottom, but it can't be activated at your current level."
Anna: "..." Although she did have the intention to see if there was a teleportation array, she was a little embarrassed when it was said outright.
Fortunately, after Rotgar finished speaking, he entered the room and closed the door. Anna stood for a while and started her adventure in the castle.
Before landing just now, Anna saw that this was the top floor of the castle. Except for Rotgar's room, she opened every other room.
Yes, all rooms are unlocked.
These rooms were all similar and looked like they had never been lived in, but she thought they might be cleaned regularly, so there wasn't much dust.
Anna chose a room two rooms away from Rotgar's residence, put her clothes away, and then began to explore downwards.
There were oil lamps around the stairs. She lit them and walked slowly down.
To be honest, exploring a deep castle alone really feels like being deeply involved in a horror movie. Anna can only condense the thunder elements at any time. If something suddenly pops up and scares her, she has to let them enjoy the "natural punishment" .
Anna went down to the first floor and entered along the corridor. Before finding two rooms, she found that one of the rooms was filled with books.
She was so surprised that she quickly switched to lighting with light elements, walked in and took a closer look, and couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
There are actually more than a dozen bookshelves in this room, and the bookshelves are filled with books!
Compared with Balan's perfunctory "study", this place is simply a library!
Anna walked around first to make sure there were no other creatures inside, and then randomly selected a bookshelf to check. After flipping through a few books, she found that the books were scattered randomly and not arranged according to categories. On the same bookshelf, there are books about spells and potions.
Moreover, it can be seen from the pages that the ages of these books may also be very different. Some of the books that looked very fragile were afraid of being touched, for fear that they would break if touched.
After leaving here reluctantly, Anna continued to check other places.
All the way to the underground level.
The castle has five floors in total, including the underground floor. She saw the banquet hall and kitchen on the first floor. But the kitchen was clean, and there was some wine in the banquet hall.
The structure of the underground floor was slightly different from Balan's castle, but she suspected that the two castles were designed by the same architect and were very similar.
She did indeed see the teleportation array underground that made her envious but temporarily powerless.
Anna returned to the room she selected, used the wind element to "clean up" the entire room again, and then lay on the bed.
In this castle, except for her and Rotgar, there were no other creatures. She didn't even see a bug.
So, as she lay in bed, she had a very practical worry - what would she eat
Anna now knows that demons do not need to eat to survive, they only drink because they want to.
She couldn't help but think ruefully that she should have borrowed Rabbit's...
Anna lay down for a while, feeling hungry.
She was waiting to attend the wedding banquet for dinner, but she didn't know that something like that would happen. She followed Rotgar here without eating anything.
She walked around the entire castle, and there was no food at all where there should be food, only some wine that looked like it had been there for a long time. If stored properly, wine can indeed last for a long time, but she can't survive on wine alone.
Anna rolled on the bed for a while, then finally got up and ran to knock on Rotgar's door.
His voice came from inside: "What?"
Anna answered through the door: "Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."
There was silence inside the door, and after a moment the door opened, and Rotgar appeared in front of her.
There was a little impatience on his face, but when he met Anna's eyes, he said nothing and only said: "Follow me."
Anna quickly followed.
Rotgar's destination was the terrace. After Anna followed, he took her into the sky and stopped in front of a forest after a while.
Anna looked carefully and saw that the trees in this forest grew very regularly, and there were some green fruits growing on the trees. And just after she and Rotgar landed, the forest, which had some strange sounds, suddenly became quiet. Come down.
"Come out." Rotgar said coldly.
Anna was wondering when she saw a small head emerging from behind a tree. The head had a pointed mouth and looked a bit like a shrew, but was as tall as a seven or eight-year-old child.
It squeaked twice and walked over shakily, walking like a human.
It was a terrifying experience for Anna to see such a big "rat" standing upright. She quietly took a step behind Rotgar and looked at the "big rat" curiously.
"Pick off all the ripe ones," Rotgar ordered.
The big mouse squeaked and turned back, swooped up the tree, hooked and grabbed with its paws, and two apple-sized fruits fell into its hands. It hugged the tree with its forelimbs and almost slid from the tree. He came down, then ran back, placed the two fruits on the ground in front of Rotgar, and then ran back to the tree, repeating the process.
Anna couldn't bear to see it go back and forth three times, so she asked Rotgar: "Can it bite people?"
Rotgar said: "It doesn't dare to bite you."
Anna thought about it. With Rotgar in charge, this monster would have to be crazy to bite her. She saw that this monster could understand human speech, so when it came over again to put down the fruit, she said, "Let me help you!"
The big mouse paused, glanced at Anna, then at Rotgar, then turned and ran to the tree. Anna quickly followed. When it climbed up the tree to pick the fruit, she said: "You drop it, I will then."
The big mouse tentatively dropped a fruit, and when he saw Anna catching it easily, he started the process of picking and throwing the fruit with confidence.
Anna used some power of the wind element to catch the fruit smoothly. After observing closely, she found that the big mouse did not pick the fruit randomly, but carefully selected it. After a while, there were more than twenty fruits on the ground.
"That's enough!" Anna said quickly. These plucked fruits won’t last long. Although it’s a bit troublesome to pick them again after eating, who told Rotgar to bring her to the Demon Realm? He must be responsible for her diet.
The big mouse looked at Anna, then at Rotgar, then slid down from the tree and stood aside obediently.
"Thank you for your hard work." Anna said, picking up the fruit on the ground, and then walked back to Rotgar.
When Rotgar hugged Anna, she suddenly asked: "How long do you want me to stay here?"
Rotgar had not thought about this problem.
If something hadn't happened at Balan's wedding, he would still be at Balan's place now, instead of being forced to face Anna.
Balaam wanted to kill Anna, and of course he couldn't continue to stay there.
Rotgar never thought that he would encounter such a problem.
He once thought Balaam was just infatuated with Catherine, but the curse of the abyss took effect on him.
Balaam can fall in love with Catherine, but what about him
It took him a long time to accept that he had feelings for a human woman.
At first he thought it was the remnants of Raymond's body, but later he discovered that holding Anna and kissing him really made him addicted, and he finally stopped denying this urge.
But Anna was not someone who could accept his confused approach, just to escape. She had been deliberately perfunctory with him before.
He had always known that Anna was smart, tough, and sometimes even too sharp for him to withstand.
When she said she would give it a try if he told her it was possible for a demon to fall in love with a human, he couldn't answer, so he ran away.
From the moment Rotgar became conscious until now, the woman she has had the most and deepest contact with is Anna.
The prejudice he once had against human women was still there, but he knew Anna was different.
Maybe he already knew the answer to that question, but he couldn't accept it.
He is the Duke of the Abyss, how could he really fall in love with a human woman like Balaam did
This unknown emotion frightened him, even frightened him.
Looking at Anna looking up at him in his arms, Rotgar thought for a moment of Balan's proposal to kill her or release her back to the human world.
"Do you really want to return to the human world?" Rotgar asked with a cold face.
Anna asked back: "If I say I miss you, you will send me back?"
Rotgar blurted out without much thought: "No."
"Then don't ask such meaningless questions." Anna said.
Rotgar suddenly flew into the sky without any warning, and Anna was so frightened that she quickly shrank into his arms.
He liked the feeling of her relying on him.
But he still couldn't get the answer, so after returning to the castle, he left Anna behind and went back to the room.
Anna was happy and relaxed when she saw that Rotgar ignored her.
She discovered that this castle was the same as Balan's, using magic to build a convenient pipeline system. She took the fruit to the bathroom to wash it off, and after eating most of it, she climbed into bed.
Rotgar still didn't answer how long he wanted her to stay here. She thought maybe he didn't think about it.
She vaguely guessed what he was thinking, but she really didn't know what she expected him to come up with.
Anna touched her belly, and she would continue to trouble Rotgar tomorrow because of the food problem.
She actually asked that question because she thought that if she was going to stay for a long time, she might as well get some easy-to-eat food to feed around the castle, so that she wouldn't have to go through so much trouble again.
There were so many things that happened today, and Anna gradually fell into sleep after thinking about it for a while.
Her last thought was that she would let Rotgar tell her tomorrow which monster meat was edible, and capture it and keep it...
When the sun rose the next day, Anna got up.
It was quiet around the castle, so she slept well. As soon as she lifted the quilt, she heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground not far away.
Anna was shocked. She and Rotgar were the only ones in this castle. The sound obviously came from his room... What's going on
She hurriedly put on the slippers she got from Balan, ran out of the room quickly, came to the door of Lotgar's room, knocked gently and asked: "Rotgar, what's the matter? "
No one answered her at the door.
Anna was a little anxious. She couldn't activate the teleportation array to return to the human world. In the demon world, a place she was completely unfamiliar with, if something happened to Rotgar, she might not be able to survive with only the strength of a three-star mage.
Anna patted the door panel hard: "Rotgar, are you okay? You didn't say anything and I came in?"
After Anna finished speaking, she paused for a few seconds. When she didn't hear a response, she tried to push the door.
The door was unlocked. Anna pushed the door open and saw darkness inside. She stood quietly for a few seconds before her eyes gradually adapted to the darkness inside.
This room was two or three times larger than hers, with carpets on the floor and a large bed in the center.
She didn't see Lotgar in the bed.
"Rotgar, I'm coming in." Anna said again before slowly walking in.
She looked around and couldn't see Rotgar, and finally her eyes fell on the area behind the bed that was blocked from view.
She stepped forward, walked around the end of the bed, and finally saw Rotgar lying on the carpet.
He turned his back to her and shrank slightly.
This was the first time for Anna to see Rotgar's fragile posture. She frowned, ran over and squatted down beside him, and pushed his shoulder: "Rotgar, what's wrong with you?"
Rotgar's body, which was shaking slightly, stopped moving. He slowly raised his head that was curled up in his arms, and his blood-red eyes saw Anna beside him, who was looking at him worriedly.
Ana suddenly felt a chill down her spine, which was a wonderful feeling.
Looking at Rotgar's blood-red eyes, she seemed to be stared at by a poisonous snake, but there was no killing intent in that aggressive gaze, and there was even an inexplicable sense of humility.
Humble
Anna felt that she might be crazy, otherwise how could she have such an illusion
Seeing that something was indeed wrong with Lotgar in front of her, Anna quickly helped him sit up and asked, "Are you injured?"
But she hadn't seen him fight anyone who was threatening? She couldn't sneak out to find someone to fight while she was sleeping, could she
While Anna was wondering, Rotgar half-sited up and stared at her mouth. His Adam's apple rolled. He suddenly leaned over, pecked her lips, and said with a low smile: "Master, you are so sweet."
Lord, master? What the hell!
Anna leaned back suddenly, holding her hands behind her head to steady her body, and looked at Rotgar in horror.
Why would he call her master? Has he been possessed by someone's soul
Anna suddenly felt that she had made a mistake in choosing to come over to check. A bad premonition drove her to immediately crawl away from Rotgar on her hands and knees.
But her ankle felt hot and was caught.
She turned around, only to see Lotgar prostrate on the ground humbly, kissing her instep with his thin lips, looking at her with blurred red eyes, as if he couldn't suppress something, gasping and said: "Master , please punish me for being disrespectful..."
grass!
Anna really felt like she was crazy at this moment.
Who is this person? He is not the Rotgar she knows at all! He must have been penetrated!
"You... don't do this." Anna was a little flustered, "Let go of me!"
Rotgar straightened up, then held Anna's ankle, licked his lips, and his blood-red eyes never left Anna's body for a moment.
"Master is angry? I am willing to accept any punishment from Master..." He moved to Anna with support on the carpet, grabbed her hand and pressed it on his chest, and whispered, "Please punish me with 'Heavenly Punishment'..."
Anna was stunned.
Knowing that the second name "Heavenly Punishment" she gave to the thunder and lightning technique, there is no doubt that it should be Rotgar himself, but...
Anna suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Could this be Rotgar's abyss curse
The original arrogant and rude Grand Duke of the Abyss suddenly turned into a humble and jerk personality
Balan's curse of the abyss gave Anna a standard to associate with. Since it is a "curse", it means it is not good for others.
Balaam's curse seems to be based on his actions and behavior, which prevents him from ever staying with his true love, but what about Lotgar's curse
Perhaps it was what she saw before her eyes. He who was so arrogant suddenly became a humble one.
After thinking about this, Ana's face turned green.
Lotgar can't always be like this. When he recovers, he remembers how he humbly called her master and knelt down to kiss her instep... With his character, even if he really liked her a little as she expected, She has to explode too, right
— Blow her up.
Anna was on the verge of crying, not knowing how many days she could survive.
She wanted to retract her hand, but Rotgar refused to let go. Thinking of her gloomy future after he wakes up, she broke the pot and said: "Want to punish? Okay, give it to you!"
She condensed the thunder element in her palm, and then the thunder and lightning exploded on Rotgar's body - because it was the thunder element and not the natural thunder and lightning, Anna naturally did not let the thunder and lightning hit herself.
Naturally, this bit of lightning did not cause any harm to Rotgar. His expression relaxed, he leaned forward slightly, and pressed Anna on the carpet amidst her exclamations. He chuckled and said, "Thank you very much for the punishment, Master. I I also want to reward the master for this..."
Anna who was pushed down:? ? ? !
