Chapter 100 A Little Guilt
Because the forest spirit Soraya had experienced more than 300 different "human" lives, her spiritual essence was further sublimated when her spirits reunited together. This not only allowed her to regain her dominance over the Bone Forest, but also gained another ability - the spread of spirit.

In other words, although she still cannot break through the confinement of the God of Tiger and her body cannot leave the Forest of Bones, she can separate a wisp of her soul and deposit it on the rune on Li En's finger, becoming Li En's power.

At the same time, this spirit can also follow Li En out of the Bone Forest and into a wider world.

Although Li En lost the power of faith, he gained Soraya's power. This was a pleasant transaction and both parties were improved.

Li En took Sophie and left the Emerald Palace contentedly.

After returning to the barracks, the [Forced Faith] entries above the guards' heads had been automatically removed. They were still loyal to Li En, but thinking back to the ridiculous things they had done before, they just wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into and never come out again, especially those who wanted to offer their butts voluntarily.

After waking up, the maid Mina fell into deep self-blame and kept apologizing to Catherine.

But Catherine was surprisingly generous and even said that if she wanted to become Li En's mistress, she would tolerate it.

Mina committed suicide on the spot to prove her determination that she would never become Li En's mistress.

If Li En hadn't stopped her, Mina might have succeeded in committing suicide.

In order to reassure his fiancée, Li En also said that he would never harm anyone around Catherine, and he only loved Catherine.

This beautiful misunderstanding came to a perfect end.

The next day, the Southern Army ended their journey through the Bone Forest and marched back to the Green Shade Territory.

If time waits for no one, Li En would definitely use Soraya to gain more points in the Bone Forest.

But as long as Soraya is still here and the believers of the Bone Forest are still here, the matter of earning points can be postponed.

Fighting for the Blue Moon Territory is the most important thing at the moment.

The morning mist at dawn has not yet dissipated, and the green area within the high walls is waking up in the haze.

The sound of victory trumpets pierced the sky and echoed in the bluestone-paved streets.

On the high wall, the figures of the guards were looming in the morning mist.

Under the high wall, dust was flying and a huge team was marching slowly.

This is the triumphant Southern Army, their armor shining brightly in the morning sun.

The heavy and powerful thumping of horse hooves on the stone road was like the drumbeat of victory, stirring everyone's heart.

Crowds of people came from all directions, and cheers, applause and blessings intertwined into a warm ocean.

The children ran around, waving flowers and colored paper, and the celebratory atmosphere infected every resident of Green Shade Territory.

The girls wore their brightest clothes, their faces filled with joyful smiles, and cast admiring glances at the heroes.

Even the nobles of the inner city rode in luxurious carriages and squeezed into the crowd of the outer city to welcome the young lord who returned in triumph.

None of them had expected that Li En could actually do what he said and capture the Bone Forest in such a short time.

The nobles had even been discussing how Li En was not doing his job properly. Why did he go to provoke those terrifying monsters in the Bone Forest? Why couldn't he immerse himself in the dance and dinner like everyone else?

They also once suspected that Li En might die in the Forest of Bones, and that the Green Shade Territory would have changed hands.

In fact, several nobles who were secretly dissatisfied with the Moria family did take advantage of Li En's absence to unite and make some small moves, but they were all leaked in advance by Anna's "Black Rose Organization". This group of people have now been placed under house arrest by Karel Dennis, waiting for Li En to come back and deal with them.

The Black Rose Organization is a new organization formed by Anna after organizing all the spy teams. It is mainly responsible for all intelligence operations in the territory and is only responsible to Anna, and Anna is only loyal to Li En.

The spies of the Black Rose Organization were once careless spies trained by Mary, the lord of Rose Territory. After being rescued by Li En, they all swore allegiance to Li En.

This time, Leier did not leave the city with her family, but went with her fellow knight classmates, led by Teacher Bill, and Karel Dennis to welcome Li En, so she stood in front of the team.

Because her swordsmanship had improved by leaps and bounds, Leir was very excited and couldn't wait to show off her newly learned knight swordsmanship in front of Li En.

"Teacher Li En, I'm here!"

Leir waved excitedly.

Li En had already seen her, and in order to show his authority in front of the nominal students, he just nodded slightly.

This time, Li En did not choose to ride a horse, but sat in a luxurious carriage with Catherine and accepted the support of the people together.

This was also to prove to all the subjects that Catherine was his fiancée.

The two stood in a carriage decorated with flowers, holding hands, facing everyone, and the scene was like a wedding procession.

But Catherine still wore a black veil to cover her face.

In Green Shade Territory, apart from Li En, Sophie is probably the only one who has seen Catherine's true appearance.

When the noble girls saw Li En again, they were deeply attracted by his charm. They always felt that the person they saw before was not the same person now.

Is this the baptism of war for men?
The girls who had fallen in love with Catherine began to envy her who was standing next to Li En, thinking that it was outrageous that this "ugly girl" could be worthy of the noble Lord of Green Shade.

As for more civilians, they all accepted Li En as their fiancée because they heard that she had rushed to the front line regardless of danger to share the hardships with Li En. The civilians were happy to spread this beautiful story.

It is believed that although Lord Li En's fiancée is not beautiful, she is virtuous, which is a lucky thing for the entire Green Shade Territory.

Sophie rode a horse and followed the carriage. Although her face was expressionless, she was not in a happy mood.

Her kingfisher has become sickly since leaving the Bone Forest, and she doesn't know why.

The guards rode their war horses, wearing cloaks embroidered with green and shield patterns, demonstrating their honor and courage.

As the troops advanced deeper, the bell towers in the city began to ring solemn bells. Every beat announced the news of victory, and every beat deepened the respect in people's hearts.

On both sides of the street, vendors opened their shops, displayed the best wine and food in the windows, and provided them free of charge to these warriors who were defending their homes.

When the last wisp of morning mist was dispelled by the sunlight, golden sunlight sprinkled on everyone's face and illuminated every corner of the green shade collar.

This was Catherine's second time entering the Green Shade Territory under the escort of guards, but it was also her first time to feel the Green Shade Territory's enthusiasm.

It was also the first time I experienced the feeling of being welcomed.

Because of the man beside her, she is no longer the poor creature who is despised and avoided by everyone and carries misfortune.

She held Li En's hand even tighter, fearing that the man in front of her would disappear in the next second.

"Thank you."

Katherine said.

"You are my fiancée, why are you thanking me? These are what I should do."

Li En responded with a smile.

"I must have accumulated all my luck to meet you."

Catherine said with emotion.

Li En even noticed her slightly red eyes and crystal tears under her black veil.

Catherine was so emotional that she actually cried because of such a scene. But it was this that aroused Li En's desire to protect her even more.

Who doesn’t want to have a fiancée who is as docile as a little bird and easily moved?
Li En reached out his hand through the veil and wiped her tears.

This scene was seen by an unknown painter in the territory, who returned and painted it according to his memory. It became a masterpiece that will be remembered forever. The title of the painting was "Leen Moriah Wiping the Tears of Catherine Rochelle Hernandez Mehliban Jackson". Later, after several transfers, the name was changed to "Leen Moriah and His First Wife". It was sold at an auction house in the capital of the empire for a high price of 800 million gold, and the unknown painter became famous because of it.

"I must have overdrawn my luck to have met such a lovely fiancée like you."

Li En said sweet words, making Catherine's face turn slightly red.

Although the two have already enjoyed sex, they still look like a pair of newlyweds.

Maybe it’s because there is really little time left for the two of them to date, and they don’t even have many serious dates.

After Li En finished speaking, he glanced at Sophie who was riding a horse out of the corner of his eye.

Fortunately, Sophie did not focus on herself and Catherine. She was paying attention to the dying kingfisher the whole time.

Li En felt that his decision was correct. He used a little trick on the kingfisher and really attracted all of Sophie's attention.

The only drawback of doing this is that it will make Sophie feel a little guilty, and she can only be compensated in the future.

Well, we must make it clear to the Empire that the law prohibiting witches from marrying must be abolished! This is an infringement on the human rights of the witches who protect them! Witches within the Green Shade Territory must enjoy the same rights as ordinary women: they can marry and have children!
Li En was lost in thought as the team quickly moved from the outer city into the inner city.

The Southern Army's garrison and investigation team remained in the outer city, and only a few cadres followed him into the inner city and finally returned to the lord's mansion.

Anna and Anne were still as beautiful as ever, even a little fatter than when they left.

Li En's mouth twitched. Why is this different from what he imagined?
Shouldn't they miss the fact that they lost weight so quickly due to lack of appetite? How come they are still plump?

Don’t women of this era know the importance of losing weight?

Although they seem to look better this way.

Li En complained inwardly.

Anna immediately noticed her master's mood, smiled, and said gently,

"Master Li En, welcome home."

"Master Li En, I didn't expect you to be alive."

Anne also gave her sincere greetings.

Li En knew that Annie had no bad intentions, she just had low emotional intelligence, so he didn't bother with her.

"Lord Li En, how did you manage to recapture the Bone Forest in such a short time?"

asked Karel Dennis excitedly, wearing makeup.

Finance Minister Omari Haney shook his newly fat belly and agreed, "Yes, Lord Li En, you always create miracles and keep us in a state of amazement."

Captain Cobb of the Southern Army also had a proud look on his face, so Li En simply let Cobb answer the question.

He couldn't say that the war ended because he took in a maid, right?

Although this is true, I always feel that it will be detrimental to my reputation if it is spread out. It would be better to let Cobb tell the story of how the Southern Army fought in the Forest of Bones and exchanged the blood of the soldiers for peace outside the high walls.

Well, this sounds much more serious than hiring a maid.

Cobb lived up to expectations and told the two ministers about the dangers of the Bone Forest and how Li En planned and planned it.

When Cobb was dry-mouthed and had successfully pretended to be powerful for Li En, Li En coughed twice, took over the conversation and asked the Minister of Finance.

"Omari, how are you doing with the task I assigned to you?"

"Master Li En, don't worry, everything you asked has been done."

Omari Haney carefully reported on the construction progress of the Empire State Building. Currently, the foundation of the building has been laid.

It was because Li En fought too fast. If he had delayed for a few more months, Finance Minister Omari Haney would have been able to produce some decent results.

Li En did not blame the Minister of Finance, Omari Haney. He waved his hand and arranged a new task for this pillar of Green Shade Territory.

"I've planted a batch of golden trees in the Bone Forest. I'll leave them to you to manage from now on. The bark of the golden trees..."

"Good, good, good."

Finance Minister Omari Haney wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with three "OKs" that he would definitely do his best to complete the additional workload.

In any case, as long as it can make the finances abundant, it doesn't matter if he is a little thinner.

"Karel, nothing major happened in the territory while I was away, right?"

Li En was clearly asking Karel Dennis, but his face was looking at Anna.

Karel Dennis was quite dissatisfied with this and took the initiative to stand in front of Anna, blocking Li En's sight, and replied,
"Lord Li En, Miss Anna and I have cooperated to capture a group of nobles who attempted to rebel. We are waiting for you to come back and deal with them."

Anna covered her mouth and chuckled.

Catherine's brows furrowed slightly.

Through the black veil, she saw Anna's beautiful face and perfect figure.

There are two maids like this, and they are always by her fiancé's side. It really makes people worry.

Sophie was completely distracted by the kingfisher incident and didn't hear what was happening around her.

It was not until Li En specifically praised the Ice Witch for her outstanding contribution in this battle that she nodded in response.

"Just lock up the nobles for now. I don't have time to take care of them for now."

Li En said to the Minister of the Interior.

"Has there been any response from the Imperial Capital?"

Li En looked at Foreign Minister Alex Poole.

While he was away at war, he also gave Alex Poole an important task, which was to bring Catherine's inheritance documents to the imperial capital for His Majesty the King's officials to witness.

Although Alex Poole did not go to the capital in person, he sent his most capable men and knights to travel day and night to reach the capital.

"The messenger hasn't returned yet, but he's expected to be back in the next two days."

Alex Poole said.

Li En nodded slightly. "Hold a celebration banquet. Yes, it will be held for two days."

"Yes, Lord Lord."

The ministers responded.
