The Romantic Life of a Goblin

When the first rays of sunlight shone on the earth in the early morning, Alan finally brought Anne back to this quiet town. He led the horse, his steps were a little tired, but his eyes revealed a hint of expectation. When passing by the familiar tavern, Alan stopped, greeted the hospitable owner, and bought a few steaming breakfasts.

Stepping into the backyard, Allen gently pushed open the old door, and a sense of doubt surged in his heart. On weekdays, the diligent female hunter always got up early and did morning exercises in the open space in the backyard. However, today, the yard was unusually quiet, and her agile figure was nowhere to be seen. Allen frowned and walked into the house, ready to find out what was going on.

When he opened the door, the scene in front of him made Alan dumbfounded. He saw three beds in disarray, and three women's bodies were squeezed together in all directions, as if they were swept by a sudden storm.

They slept in different positions, some with their arms hanging down the side of the bed, some with their legs crossed, and some even snoring from time to time. What was even more surprising was that their limbs would occasionally twitch and shake, as if they were experiencing some strange dream.

In a corner of the room, the elf boy curled up like a wounded animal, lying there lifeless and motionless.

Alan's eyes widened, his mind full of question marks:

"What on earth happened to these people? Why are they in such a mess? And why is Ansiel here?"

Just as Allen was lost in thought, he heard a slight noise. It turned out that Corolla woke up sleepily after hearing the door open.

She blinked, trying to see the scene clearly. When she found that it was Duo Luo standing at the door with a basket full of breakfast in his hands, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on her face.

However, the surprise was fleeting, replaced by an inexplicable panic. The female hunter stared at Duo Luo with her mouth wide open for a long time, and suddenly she seemed to come to her senses and screamed. Then, she jumped up from the bed like a spring and rushed towards Duo Luo like a hungry tiger. She didn't care about her embarrassing appearance of disheveled clothes and messy hair. She grabbed Duo Luo's shoulders tightly, screaming and shaking his body back and forth, as if to vent all the fear and anxiety in her heart.

"Where on earth have you been? Why did you only come back now?!"

Corolla's eyes were wide open, as if fire was about to spit out of them. She stared at the goblin in front of her, her hands clenched into fists, as if she would pounce on it and strangle it to death the next moment.

At this moment, the originally quiet room became noisy due to the sudden roar, and several other people were awakened one after another. They rubbed their sleepy eyes and looked at the scene in front of them with astonishment.

"Alan, you're finally back, woo, woo..."

When Ronielle saw her son coming back, tears immediately welled up in her eyes. Her sorrowful cry moved everyone. She walked quickly to Alan and stretched out her trembling hand to touch him, but she was afraid of losing him and didn't dare to do so.

At the same time, Winnie hurriedly climbed down from the bed. She came to Alan in two steps, grabbed one of his arms, and then held him tightly in her arms, as if Dora would disappear if she let go.

"If you had come back a few days later, none of us would have survived."

Winnie's voice was filled with tears and her body was shaking slightly. It was obvious that the addiction had been tormenting them for some time, making them feel uncomfortable.

However, facing such an excited reaction from everyone, Allen was at a loss. He shook his head hard, trying to clear his mind, but his thoughts were still in a mess.

The information he felt from the Force told him that these women all looked relatively healthy, but the circles around their eyes were frighteningly dark, as if they had not had a good rest for a long time.

Alan couldn't figure it out. He had only been away for a few days, so what had happened to make everyone like this? He widened his eyes and glanced at everyone around him in confusion, hoping to find the answer.

Allen grabbed Carola's shaking hands tightly and stopped them with force, and asked with confusion on his face:

"What the hell is going on with you guys?"

At this moment, he felt dizzy. If he continued to be shaken like this, he would probably vomit bile.

"Ah...that...you...we..." Corolla widened his eyes, his heart full of aggrieved and helpless, but for a moment he didn't know how to explain to the other party what was happening in front of him.

Although Ansel was also exhausted, he still maintained his unique elegance in his gestures. He slowly stood up against the wall, then bowed deeply to Allen and said:

"It is a great honor to meet you here again, Your Excellency the great Goblin Chieftain. Please accept my most sincere gratitude for letting me escape last time."

Seeing this, Alan smiled and nodded in response: "It seems that my intuition is right. We meet again so soon."

At this moment, Annie, who had been hiding outside the door and secretly observing the situation, finally couldn't suppress her curiosity. She carefully opened the gap in the door and stuck half of her head into the house.

Her big round eyes were full of confusion, staring at the people in the room whose expressions and behaviors seemed extremely exaggerated and even a little inexplicable.

The intense scene just now really frightened her. It was not until this moment that Carola suddenly realized that there was another person standing at the door. She was shocked and quickly let go of Alan's hands.

Winnie also noticed Anne and couldn't help but feel curious:

"Hmm? Who is this little girl?"

At this moment, the goblin quickly turned around, dragged Annie into the house, and closed the door.

Then, he began to introduce them to everyone one by one: "Everyone, this is my latest servant."

Allen gently patted Annie who was hiding behind him and encouraged her, "Come out and say hello to everyone."

Anne raised her head timidly, her eyes wandering. Suddenly facing so many unfamiliar faces, both men and women, she was a little overwhelmed for a moment, her eyes were confused, and she didn't know where to look.

Even her voice became unusually low: "My name is Annie, I am the Demon King's personal maid... and also a slave."

Hearing this, Carola, Winnie, and Ronnie were all shocked and confused, not knowing how to respond. Only the elf boy remained polite and responded with a smile:

"Hello, beautiful lady. My name is Ansel, and I am an exile from Lacarrot in the Green Forest."
