After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 2001

Chapter 2001: Wilem and Anna

After the beast’s death, the other monsters, even the newcomers attracted by the blood and the beast’s final cry, had become easier to deal with, even when Garan was doing minimum.

It was more of an issue of pride. After all, two people they had thought were dead weights ended up carrying majority of the fight. They naturally had to balance things out!

Meanwhile, the target of their protection, Anna, was staring at the man who was slashed in the arm, her eyes red with tears. The shield’s durability was already very low because of the mobs, and it seemed like it broke during the last attack of the intelligent beast.

However, only Anna saw—or cared for—the man’s injuries. In fact, she looked like she was the one injured instead. However, while worried, there was also a lot of confusion in her eyes.

"Wilem...what are you doing here?"

"Don’t get married." Wilhem told her as he grabbed her arms. It had the tone of an order, which made Anna temporarily forget about her worry for him.

Anna pursed her lips. What was he planning to do? Even if she was a bit tempted—she loved this man too much—but she didn’t want that kind of life.

"I...I can’t share you."

Wilem’s eyebrows furrowed. "What do you mean?"

Anna looked at him in despair, shocked that he was even asking this!

Did he just assume she’d be fine with him taking in other women? Other men were like this, but she thought he was different!

"If you’re gonna be with my sister, I don’t want you!" she screamed, standing up, but it was sudden and she was weak and she ended up falling into his arms anyway.

Anna felt dizzy in humiliation, then she felt extremely annoyed when the man’s arms that crept around her waist, keeping her in position, didn’t budge.

Hearing her previous words, Wilem understood her concerns. "I never wanted to marry her. I don’t even like her."

This made the poor bride pause. "Didn’t you...aren’t you marrying Vanya?"

"They wanted more elementalists in the bloodline," he said. "And I...I don’t care about that at all."

There was also a rumor that Vanya had a bit of elven blood. It was very diluted and didn’t manifest at all, but his parents were a bit obsessed with that lineage.

A lot of nobles in this area tended to be.

"But...you...why didn’t you just tell me?"

"I wanted to! But they imprisoned me."

"Vanya said—"

"I haven’t even talked to her! I never touched her that way. I swear!" His eyes were filled with purity and determination, and Anna knew he was not lying.

Anna covered her mouth, feeling like the biggest idiot for believing all those things Vanya said.

Her body softened, and she found herself resting against her fiance.

"Ok, I won’t get married to another man."

The man nodded. "I won’t get married to anyone else but you."

The two of them must complete this mission. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t be able to take another mission from the Hall for another month.

First of all, weren’t they hired? Is she really ordering him around now?
