Anna hasn’t seen Catherine again since the day she failed to escape.

She guessed that Balan thought she had broken his pure and lovely Catherine, so Catherine had to be separated from her bad friend.

She was also wondering, did Balan discover that Catherine had actually set up this bureau deliberately to get him to agree to sign the soul contract? Maybe he doesn't care if he finds out, anyway, Catherine can't find the flowers, so what if he plays with her and makes trouble with her?

What made Anna not know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or to be sad is that Rothgar disappeared to her.

She actually didn't understand why he disappeared in front of her.

Because she exposed his true purpose, he has no face to appear in front of her again? It's impossible.

Was it her last words that scared Rotgar away?

Perhaps, he didn't know how to answer her question, so he just left.

And why doesn't he know?

If he doesn't care at all, he can actually give an answer casually, right? But he did not, but ran away without saying a word.

Anna couldn't help thinking, maybe it was because he was also uncertain about this issue in his heart.

In other words, he actually likes her a little bit in his heart? Not just the kind of liking for her body, but pure liking.

This idea is so sweet, but it is difficult for her to find other reasons.

Anna didn't go to Rothgar for confirmation, some thoughts should be hidden in her heart temporarily.

Rabit brought her food every day, and she spent the rest of her time meditating except for the things she had to do to survive.

She felt that the tree-whip seedling fused with her seemed to help her enter the state more easily when she was meditating. What made her feel at ease was that the tree-whip seedling did not have consciousness, otherwise there was another consciousness in her body. This kind of thing feels scary even after thinking about it.

In the course of meditation day by day, Anna's mental power became more and more diligent. Although her two-star to three-star mental power was not cultivated by herself, she is a pragmatist, and she has no prejudice against this part of mental power.

So the time came to the day before Baran and Catherine's wedding. Baran went to the human world to bring Catherine's family over and arranged it on the second floor.

Anna didn't want to see Hansen very much, so even though she was not actually under house arrest, she did not go to see the excitement.

She didn't even get out of the room much these days.

She felt that she rarely had a day of meditating like this.

On the day of the wedding of Baran and Catherine, Anna dressed up a bit, chose the best dress in the closet, and trimmed her long reddish brown hair behind her.

Hiding enough in her own den, she should also come out to face the cruel reality.

The wedding starts at noon and will last until late at night. Anna looked down from upstairs and could see a lot of humanoid creatures in the demon world coming by various flying or ground-based "vehicles".

When she saw the "guest" riding a phoenix, she stared.

She remembered that Rothgar had told her that the undead cannot be tamed into a mount...he wanted to lie to her for such trivial things!

When Anna followed Rabit out of the room, her face didn't look good.

On the first floor, Anna saw more people. They were all strange "people". Many strange "people" also looked at her with strange eyes. After all, the Devil Realm rarely sees humans. They don't have the ability of the Great Duke of Abyss to go to the human world at any time, so how can they not look at the legendary humans?

Anna was led by Rabit to the ceremonial hall. She saw Rothgar at a glance, and she walked straight over and stood beside him.

Rothgar didn't seem to see her, his expression was always cold, as if no one would enter. But after Anna stood beside him, he did not back away, nor did he let her go away.

Anna stood silently beside him.

There were not many people in this hall, Anna glanced, except for a few humanoid creatures that seemed to be powerful and powerful, it was the York family.

The York family is a big family. Of course, not everyone came. Only a middle-aged man and Hansen were present. Anna guessed that the man was Viscount York. After all, it was Catherine's father. How could he not come to his daughter's wedding?

When he noticed Anna, Hansen's expression was very surprised. He wanted to come over and ask, but Anna stood beside a demon with a very recognizable appearance. How dare he come over?

Rothgar still couldn't help but glanced at Anna next to him, and seeing that she was looking at the opposite side, he couldn't help but follow her gaze.

Seeing it was Hansen, Rothgar could not help but feel itchy. On the day he left the human world, in order to find Anna, he beat Hansen severely. Of course, when he found Anna, he left Hansen aside and didn't bother to pay attention.

He did not expect that Catherine's family was the York family. Now he has even more reason to hate Catherine. It is not Catherine, and Anna will not really make an escape.

Rothgar still didn't know the answer to the question that Anna asked him last.

At that time, he tried to respond with what Balan said to him. Does the Great Duke Abyss need to explain the reason to someone? Do it if you want.

But when Anna looked up at him, her eyes were red, and her eyes were so fragile that he couldn't say that at all.

Is it possible for demons to fall in love with humans?

Rothgarh had a drink with Balan yesterday. Alcohol is just a momentary intoxicating thing for them, and it can be resolved in a few minutes. Balan wants to get drunk, so he has to drink it all the time.

And Balan did not stop yesterday, and he used to teach Rothgar what to do, but he was at a loss at this moment.

"I always thought I loved Catherine, but I am a little uncertain now." Baran said in a daze. "If I love Catherine, she will die after the soul contract is signed tomorrow. But I have promised her... …"

Rothgar was drinking with him. He didn't drink often before, but now he is drinking one after another. If ten days ago, he would have no doubt thought that Balan was asking for trouble. He always felt that Balan’s so-called love for Catherine was nothing more than a temporary infatuation. After the freshness passed, there would be no more love. feel.

But at this moment, Anna's voice is always ringing in his mind, she is asking him, will demons fall in love with humans?

He looked at Balan, but there was no answer.

Balan suddenly looked up at Rotgar and smiled: "Rot, otherwise you can sign for me? I will sign your true love in the future."

Rothgar did not hesitate, but refused: "No."

"Hey, we are good friends Roth, you have to help me with this kind of life-and-death matter!" Balan said casually, seeing Rotgar's refusal, he got excited instead.

Rothgar didn't even look at Balaam and asked him, "Would you like me to kiss Catherine deeply for five minutes?"

Even if Balan wanted to, he couldn't kiss Catherine.

He drank the wine out of the glass, suppressing the thirst that came up deep in his throat. He started to miss Anna's lips again. Obviously she is next door, as long as he takes that step, he can taste her sweetness as unscrupulously as a few days ago, but he listened to the faint movement next door, but he always remembered the way she questioned him with red eyes. , Then can't take that step, only full of irritability.

Balan sighed, of course he didn't want to.

For other women, he didn't care what they were with other men when they were with him, only Catherine, he didn't even want her to be exposed to others too much.

He shouldn't have promised Catherine that day, but he just agreed, maybe even he himself was not very sure of his love for Catherine.

Balan was irritable and didn't want to think about it any more. He drank another half of his glass and looked at Rothgar drunkly and laughed: "The day they ran away, I had already severely'punished' Catherine. Luo Especially, what about you? You locked Anna up these days?"

That day Balan was obsessed with important matters with Catherine, only knowing that Rotgar took Anna away in anger, and he felt that what happened later should be logical.

Rotgar silently poured himself a glass of wine.

When Balan saw this, he woke up for a while, and said in surprise, "You still didn't do anything? The way you took Anna away that day, I thought you would keep her from coming to bed for three days."

Rothgar poured himself another glass of wine, his expression was very cold, and he did not refute Balan.

Balan put down his wine glass and looked at Rothgar with a serious expression: "Roth, if you are reluctant to kill Anna, just put her back into the human world."

He made a bet with Lott, joking that Lott was mostly lively, and even if he saw Anna later, he didn't change much. But now, he found that Anna had too much influence on Lott, and Anna was definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp, she would play Lott until she was willing to give everything for her, even if she didn't love him.

"You don't care about my business." Rotgar gave Balan a threatening look. "Take care of your woman, don't let her influence Anna again!"

When Balan heard that Rothgar said that Catherine was not good, he was immediately angry. He frowned and said: "I also said that Anna had broken Catherine! When Anna didn't come, Catherine was very good, and Anna came out as soon as she came. For this kind of thing, it is naturally Anna's fault! Catherine is the purest lamb, Anna is the cunning viper, you have to recognize it!"

Rothgar thought to himself, Anna is cunning but cunning, but so cute. Why does Balan say that she is a poisonous snake?

He threw his glass at Balaam angrily.

This time of drinking, eventually turned into a fist fight. However, considering Balan's wedding ceremony the next day, the two avoided their faces when they hit.

Rothgar looked at Anna again. He wanted to hold Anna in his arms and kiss her sweet lips, but his pride as the Duke of the Abyss did not allow him to do so.

He didn't think about whether the devil would fall in love with humans, but Anna's fragile appearance at that time would always jump out to stop him.

Perhaps it’s a good idea to listen to Balan, killing Anna or letting her return to the human world. But... he can't do it.

He seemed to understand a little bit that he asked Leon to stay away from Anna at the time, and Leon's feelings when he replied "Can't do it", it was not that he couldn't, but that he was reluctant.

There was a strange sound of music exclusively for the Demon World in the hall. Anna followed the sound and saw that the sound was a row of different-looking plants, each with different sound-producing organs, making all kinds of strange sounds, all together. It's a little weird, but after listening for a while, it sounds pretty good, even a little bit overwhelming.

With this weird music, Balan and Catherine in costume came in from the door.

Today, Catherine wore a light blue lace wedding dress, with many precious jewelry bracelets on her body, and the hem of her big skirt dragged on the ground. She was so beautiful and petite.

She took Balan's arm and walked in slowly, with a happy smile on her face.

Anna looked at Catherine without much hatred. People don’t kill themselves for their own sake, let alone a major event related to life span.

It can only be said to blame herself for believing in Catherine's weak appearance and wanting to escape here too eagerly.

Catherine glanced at Anna, and quickly moved away. Anna didn't know if Catherine felt guilty for her, but she didn't care if she was there.

Anna guessed that after the wedding, Rotgar would leave here and return to his own turf, and should bring her there at that time, so no matter how Catherine and Balan, it has nothing to do with her.

A couple of newcomers walked in from the door and went all the way to the center of the hall.

At this moment, Balan’s face is not as confused as he was when he drank with Rotgar yesterday. He looked at Catherine lovingly, and then smiled and announced: "Today, I, Grand Duke Balan of Letcherry, will be with Catherine. York became a husband and wife, and we will stay together for life from now on, sharing honor and disgrace. Only death can separate us."

The demons who came to attend Balan's wedding, how could they not give Balan face, cheered.

Balan hugged Catherine, and Catherine shyly pulled at the hem of Balan's clothes.

And next, it is the soul contract exclusively dedicated to the devil.

Before the real start, Balan still hesitated. He kissed Catherine's lips and whispered: "Catherine, are you afraid?"

Catherine shook her head and said confidently: "I am not afraid. My love for you can overcome everything."

Balan didn’t hesitate anymore, took Catherine with his right arm and kissed her lips. At the same time, his left hand gestured strange patterns behind her, and the dark elements appeared and disappeared, as if they were constantly proceeding. Reincarnation.

Catherine held Baran's neck affectionately, and the bracelet on her wrist gleamed slightly in the light.

Is this how the soul contract is signed?

Anna looked at it earnestly at first, but after a few minutes without stopping, she felt bored.

It happened that the other guests were still taking it seriously, and she couldn't even yawn very well.

Rothgar glanced at Anna, not sure if she watched this scene, did she think of the days when they had each other's lips and teeth.

About a minute or two later, Baran finally let go of Catherine.

Anna looked at it with energy, but she didn't see any difference.

Catherine's cheeks flushed, she looked up at Balan, her eyes blurred: "Bala, I seem to feel something."

"The contract is successful. Are you uncomfortable?" Balan asked quickly, and he was still a little uneasy.

Catherine shook her head and looked at Balan with a smile: "No."

Balan suddenly felt that something was wrong, but at this time everyone cheered, he didn't think about it anymore, and smiled at the crowd with his arms around Catherine: "Thank you all for coming to the ceremony, please go and have fun next door!"

Catherine gently pulled Labalan's finger and whispered, "Baran, I'll go and say a few words to my father."

Balan smiled and said, "I'll be with you."

Catherine shook her head and said shyly: "I don't want you to hear it."

Balan was taken aback and joked, "What is it? Can't I really listen?"

"Really can't!" Catherine lowered Balan's hand, and Balan didn't stop. She took two steps, then looked back at Balan and smiled.

Balan was startled slightly. Catherine today seems to be extraordinarily strange, because she officially married him today, so she can't bear her family anymore?

He saw Catherine walking towards her father, Viscount York, whose expression was a little nervous and a little excited.

Viscount York held Catherine's hand, and while Catherine's body blocked Baran's sight, he put a string of empty crystals on Catherine's wrist.

"Catherine, worthy of being my daughter, you did a great job!" Viscount York's hands were shaking slightly because of excitement, and the muscles at the corners of his mouth were shaking uncontrollably.

Catherine lowered her head and rubbed the string of empty crystal bracelets. This was made by York House after she was taken away by Balan. It took almost half a year. There was only one trapped magic circle inside. Although it was complicated, it was easy to make. It can be activated, even if it is an incompetent mage like her who still only has the apprenticeship level of mage.

And it has only one effect.

Catherine stroked the bracelet, and walked back two steps in the surprised eyes of Viscount York and Hansen, which happened to be halfway between Balan and her father.

She looked at Balan and smiled and said, "Balan, do you remember a human girl named Carol?"

At this time, the guests who had originally come to the ceremony were almost gone. Seeing that Rothgar hadn't moved, Anna didn't move. She didn't know that suddenly something seemed wrong, and she couldn't help frowning.

Balan looked at Catherine, and only felt that the smile on her face at the moment was so wrong, there was no shame in the past, only sadness was left.

Perhaps, there is hatred.

But why would Catherine look at him with hatred?

"Catherine! Today is your wedding day with Lord Baran, don't mention irrelevant people!" The Duke of York saw that Catherine's situation was wrong at the moment, and quickly wanted to stop her. According to their original plan, all guests, including the other demon, had to leave before they really acted! What's the matter with Catherine, how can she suddenly mention Carol!

Balan glanced at the Duke of York coldly, suppressed the anxiety in his heart, frowned and said, "Catherine, what's the matter with you?"

Catherine said, "Have you forgotten? Carol, this name sounds good, you should remember it."

"Catherine, what are you talking about?" Balan stepped towards Catherine.

Catherine suddenly shouted: "Don't come here!"

Balan paused. He looked surprised and glanced at his feet.

But I saw Catherine weeping and said: "Carol is a very beautiful, considerate and kind noble girl. Because of her poor health, she lives in a manor outside the city all year round and leads a carefree life. Until one day, a The handsome demon appeared. She was fascinated by him and dedicated everything she had to him. But the demon who said that she loved her disappeared one day and never appeared again."

Balan pressed his lips together, and he remembered.

"Carol is my sister. It's the best for me, my favorite sister." Catherine choked.

Because Balan left without saying goodbye, her sister passed away within a few months. And she learned about Balan's existence from the diary secretly written by her sister. Her sister has not been in good health since she was a child, so she always observes others quietly, and is therefore very good at observing others. The diary is full of speculations about Balan's hobbies.

She was only twelve years old at the time, but she hated the demon in the diary who had always abandoned her sister. Therefore, she adjusted everything in accordance with the appearance and personality of the demon in the diary, hoping that one day she could meet the demon who killed her sister again.

In the wild rose bushes that day, the devil descended from the sky. From his eyes, she knew that he liked her appearance very much.

At the same time, she also knew that she had hoped day and night for the chance of revenge granted by the goddess, and finally came.

"Baran, please kill yourself now." Catherine bit her lower lip and said what she had wanted to say since she saw Carol's diary.

"Catherine!"

Viscount York and Hansen exclaimed that they didn't want this result! What they want is the power of the devil to use for them!

The same shout was made by Balan, whose eyes were strangely red, but he couldn't control his body, and his raised hand was about to pierce his heart.

But his action did not succeed, because Rothgar grabbed his arm firmly.

"Balan!" Rothgar and Balan were evenly matched, and it was a bit difficult to hold Balan to prevent him from committing suicide.

But in the next second, Balan's strength to commit suicide disappeared.

At the same time, Catherine fell soft to the ground.

Balan was startled, and then rushed to Catherine from Rothgar's hand, knelt down and hugged her: "Catherine!"

Catherine was pale, and she could feel her vitality losing rapidly.

After she was taken aback, she finally understood something.

Balan really loves her, so the soul contract has expired, and the sleepy magic circle built on the soul contract has also failed. She cannot kill Balan to avenge Carol, and she is about to die.

Catherine looked at Baran, punched him weakly with her fist, crying bitterly, fragile and angrily said: "Why! Why! You can love me, why can't you love Carol! Why do you love me!"

Her hand was held by Balan, and he looked at Catherine with scarlet eyes, but couldn't say anything.

And Catherine's voice gradually lowered, leaving only sadness: "You can't love me...you shouldn't love me..."

Catherine is dead.

Balan held Catherine in his arms for a long time.

Then he put her down gently, got up and walked towards the already desperate Viscount York and Hansen.

"It's all Catherine's idea!" Viscount York said in a sudden panic, "Master Balaam, please forgive me! I will serve you as Lord!"

Balan twitched his lips slightly: "What do I want two weak human beings to be servants?"

Then he raised his arm gently and broke the necks of the two men.

When Balan turned sideways, Anna, who was looking at him, took a small step back, and she was frightened by the killing intent in his eyes.

But Rothgar stood between her and Balan: "Anna has nothing to do with this matter."

Baran laughed: "Lott, look at me, even a pure and beautiful girl like Catherine wants me to die... Hahaha, did you see it? Catherine missed me to die! If you really fall in love with Anna, you must Will be killed by her!"

"Anna is different from Catherine."

"Yes, it's not the same. Catherine is as cunning as Anna!" Balan seemed to persuade Rotgar, "I know you haven't slept until she is reluctant, but I tell you that some human women have beautiful figures. Very good, the sensory experience it brings to you is not much worse. If you can't get your hands off, I can help you."

Rothgar said with a cold face, "You don't need to worry about my business."

Balan looked at Rothgar for a while, and smiled: "Then it's up to you."

He turned around and hugged Catherine's body and left the hall.

Balan went to the basement, placed Catherine in the treasure house, and then returned to the next door of the ceremony hall without looking back. The guests who came to the banquet did not know what had happened, and were drinking happily.

Balan hugged two humanoid maids who seemed to be related to lizards, walked into the guests, and laughed: "Come on, cheers, and celebrate my return to singleness!"

The guests looked at each other, but soon they all cheered and toasted to Balan to be single again.

Balan hugged left and right, and the wine toasts were not rejected, and his voice of laughter echoed in the whole hall.
