Rejected the Demon’s Marriage Proposal Thousands of Times

months ago, he did not refuse, and so Grace became his fiancee.

But he preferred everything about being a mage over the responsibilities of his family.
He liked to delve into magic, concoct potions, and explore the unknown.
The shackles on him these past two years were suffocating.
He had been struggling with family responsibility on the one hand, and personal freedom on the other.

Until yesterday, what happened to Anna made him suddenly want to fight Raymond.
After the fight, although he lost, he felt very happy, and the foggy gaze that had been in his heart seemed to dissipate in an instant.

He was unwilling to give up his life for the sake of family responsibilities.
He wanted simply to be a mage.

After this decision became clearer, he also considered the consequences.
He clearly knew his talent.
As long as he persisted, there was no question that he could become a four-star mage.
He even had the opportunity to become a five-star mage.
It was unavoidable that breaking off the engagement would offend the Stockton clan, but the main family of the Stockton clan did not have a mage.
It would not be a wise choice to have a bad relationship with a future four-star mage like him, so he did not have to worry too much about the Stockton clan taking revenge.
And in order to express his apology, if the Stockton family had any difficulties in the future, he would definitely lend a hand if he could.

As for his own Freeman clan, his father only had one son, so he inherited the title at the beginning, but he knew very well that his uncle also had a lot of ideas for this title.
So he would take the opportunity to give this title to his uncle; his uncle was more suitable to be the head of the family than him.
And he, as a member of the Freeman clan, would still want the best for them as a family member, but not at the premise of sacrificing his life.

“But Viscount Freeman and Mage Leon are both you!” Grace shouted in confusion, unable to understand Leon's choice.

“They may be the same to you, but to me, they’re completely different,” Leon said.
“I'm so sorry, Miss Grace.
It's all my fault.
I will give proper compensation for the loss of the Stockton clan.
Please go back.”

Grace couldn't believe that Leon would be so heartless.
She always thought that Leon might not love her yet, but he would never propose to break off the marriage, because the situation of the Freeman family was not good, and her family was the richest in Black Cloud City.
No one else had the kind of wealth her family had; he would never have a better choice.

“Then don't you care about your family? If you don't marry me, what will your family do? What will you do yourself? It takes a lot of gold to be a mage!” Grace said excitedly, “Without my family giving you…
“

Leon frowned and interrupted Grace: “I didn't know about the fact that my uncle received five hundred gold coins from your family.
When I went to call off the marriage yesterday, I had already paid back five hundred gold coins and half a year's interest.
I will take good care of my family in the future, so you don't have to worry.”

He told his uncle yesterday that he was going to call off the engagement.
Only then did he learn that when the two parties got engaged, his uncle had received 500 gold coins.
So, when he went to call off the engagement, he paid back an extra 100 gold coins as interest for the past six months.
