Miss Witch, it's time to clean up the entries

Chapter 102 Working Life

Although Father Simo and Sister Sally were unable to attend the dinner at the Lord's Mansion due to personal reasons, Li En still sent someone to deliver their rewards.

He was unable to improve the church status of Father Seamus and Sister Sally, and could only give them some gold, silver, jewelry and a handwritten letter of condolence.

Just as the young priest was sighing that his work was not in vain, the beautiful nun opened the letter and read,

"Dear Father Simo, words cannot express my admiration for you. Thank you for accompanying me on this expedition.

"We have experienced life and death together, and we are partners who fought side by side. I will regard you as my brother, and my trust in you cannot be shaken.

"Please take your nun, the beautiful Miss Sally, and my jewelry, a whole box, to the auction to buy the succubus for me.
"Next, I will go to Blue Moon Territory. I will risk my life. I can only entrust such an important matter to you. You are my most trusted partner.
"Oh, I trust you forever, and you have my everlasting friendship.

"You don't want to go, do you? You don't want the Archbishop to know that you are a heretic, do you?

"You don't want people to know that you deserted the war and got lost, do you?

"Of course, as your friend, I will keep this a secret.

“At the same time, I promise to stand firmly on your side when you face the Archbishop.

"The future new bishop of the Raphael Church, the Golden Goddess bears witness to our friendship."

The further Sally read, the weirder her expression became.

The young priest seemed to have been constipated for three days. Finally, he could no longer bear it and snatched the letter from the beautiful nun and tore it into pieces angrily.

The despicable Li En Moriah is threatening me again!
When will this damn working life end?
"Sally, pack your bags."

The priest rubbed his brows and said with a look of despair.

"Are we really going to the auction?"

Sally nibbled on Bay's lip.

"Yes, we can't give up at this time."

Sally nodded, knowing that now that Seamus had made up his mind, there was no way to dissuade him.

"At least we don't have to follow him to Blue Moon Territory, right?"

Sally said optimistically.

"Yes, could Blue Moon Territory be more dangerous than the auction?"

Seamus asked back.

Sally was suddenly speechless, and her face showed the expression of being constipated for three days.

Black market merchants are extremely terrifying existences in this world.

Of course, Li En didn't think so much about it. He simply entrusted it to the most trustworthy Father Simo because he felt that he didn't have the time to deal with it.

At this time, Li En was holding Catherine's hand and quietly leaving the banquet, returning to Catherine's soft big bed and rolling around.

Compared to a military tent, a proper bedroom is indeed more comfortable.

As for why you didn’t choose your own room, is there any need to explain?

There are always three pairs of eyes watching the lord's bedroom.

Three pairs of extremely beautiful eyes.

Li En doesn't want to develop any psychological trauma.

In Catherine's bedroom, there was only a maid named Miss Mina, who was trained to be extremely obedient.

Ever since the last incident of sacrificing herself in the Golden Forest, Miss Mina would consciously keep her distance from Catherine and Li En every time she saw them together to avoid embarrassment, which could be considered as repaying her gratitude.

Mina stood guarding the door, feeling hopeless.

Her beloved Miss Catherine was in the room, but she could only guard the door.

"Katherine, what is this?"

"A map of Blue Moon Territory."

Catherine handed the complete map of Blue Moon Territory to Li En.

Every lord has a complete and detailed map of his own territory, which not only includes engineering fortresses, mountains and rivers, and terrain layout, but also has mineral vein markings. It can be said that the wealth of Blue Moon Territory can be seen at a glance by looking at the map.

The one that Catherine gave to Li En is also unique.

Li En had just finished a thrilling battle with Catherine and happened to enter the sage time.

This is when a map would be a good idea.

He bent down and kissed the beauty in his arms, then looked at the map in the dim light in the room.

The Blue Moon Territory is worthy of being one of the top territories in the empire. It not only has rich blue moonstone veins, but its area is also three times the size of the entire Green Shade Territory.

Even though Green Shade Territory now owns the Golden Forest, the area of ​​Blue Moon Territory is still twice that of Green Shade Territory.

"Catherine, how rich was your family in the past?"

Li En suddenly asked.

He was a poor boy in his previous life, and in this life he inherited the heavily indebted Green Shade Territory. After some hard work, he has seen some initial success, but unfortunately he still has a long way to go before he can achieve financial freedom.

Catherine was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, although her life was full of ups and downs.

Catherine shook her head. "I don't know. I've never lived with my family."

Li En hugged Catherine and promised, "From now on, I am your family, and you will live with me forever."

"Ah."

Catherine nodded contentedly and rested her head on Lee En's chest.

Li En said some sweet words again, which deepened their feelings for each other.

Although Catherine kept reminding herself not to fall in love with the man in front of her, the girl's cold heart was still ignited by the sweetness.

The girl who tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time fell into it irresistibly.

In her later autobiography, Catherine wrote that love is poison and Lien Moriah is the best pharmacist.

The night passed peacefully.

As the dawn breaks, the hazy sky is gradually dyed a faint crimson.

A new day has arrived in Green Shade Territory.

Although most people were hungover from last night's revelry and didn't want to wake up, the streets were still bustling with people who were still immersed in the joy of a collective holiday and were discussing which bar to go to today to continue drinking and celebrating.

Li En also bid farewell to his fiancée Catherine reluctantly.

Looking at Catherine who was still sleeping soundly in bed, he finally understood the meaning of the ancient poem that said, "From then on, the king never attended court in the morning."

Catherine is not the kind of girl who amazes people at first sight, but she becomes more and more beautiful the more you look at her, especially because she fits Li En's aesthetic taste.

The sunlight shines on the girl's crystal clear skin, adding a faint glow to her slightly flushed cheeks, and her graceful curves outline a beautiful picture.

If Li En didn't have a lot of things to deal with today, he would definitely take out a drawing board and start sketching the static Catherine, preserving this painting forever and passing it on to future generations.

Well, his level is not enough to make him famous in later generations, and such a scroll is only suitable to be hung in the bedroom for private appreciation. How can he show it to other men?

After suppressing his wild thoughts, Li En gave Xuebai a light kiss, left Catherine's bedroom, and returned to his study.

In the study, three ministers were already waiting there.

Anna made coffee for Li En and Annie served Li En breakfast.

Originally, these things should have been done in Li En's bedroom, but Li En did not go back all night. Anna and Annie knew it very well. Who can expect a man from the Moria family to return to the bedroom on time?
There was a joke circulating in the Holy Empire: If you fall in love with a man who doesn't come home, his last name might be Moria. Li En spread out the map of Blue Moon Territory and placed it next to the map of Green Shade Territory.

"Anna, is there any news from Rose Territory?"

"Lord Li En, Lady Mary received the false intelligence we passed on her and hasn't responded yet. However, I suspect Lady Mary will also forge the inheritance documents and have them delivered to the capital by messenger. Now it depends on who His Majesty the King chooses to believe."

Anna said gently.

Now, Anna can speak freely in such an important morning meeting.

Because during this period, Home Secretary Karel Dennis, Finance Minister Omari Haney, and Foreign Minister Alex Poole all witnessed Anna's skills and talents, and believed that she was indeed a woman of great wisdom.

Even though she was still just a maid beside Li En, she won the respect of the three of them.

"What is forged is still forged. The king will surely be able to tell the difference. Of course, we cannot be political idiots. We must also promise the king the necessary benefits."

Li En touched his chin and felt that the envoy had not returned yet, probably because he had not given enough bargaining chips and the king was considering it.

"Promise His Majesty the King to march to the Azure Dragon Court?"

Karel Dennis asked tentatively. In his opinion, this was probably what the king cared about most right now. If they could make a promise to the king on this matter, perhaps the king would favor them.

Li En shook his head.

"Why do such a thankless task? Tell His Majesty that we are willing to support him to become emperor."

Although the Holy Empire had long been an empire, the king had not yet been called emperor.

This is because the king has not received the oracle of the God of Tiger and has not been crowned by the Pope.

But he can still become emperor in the secular world, provided that he has the support of all the lords.

Becoming an emperor is something that every king desires very much, as it means that they have reached the pinnacle of power.

Li En believed that this promise was enough to impress the king.

Besides, Li En doesn't have to pay anything, it's equivalent to electing the only presidential candidate on the ballot.

Moreover, the king certainly didn't want to see Mary get the Blue Moon Territory.

He just wanted to see how many more chips Li En could add.

This is playing an open game.

"Lord Li En, before His Majesty the King receives the oracle, we choose to publicly support His Majesty the King. This may offend the Holy See."

Karel Dennis couldn't help but remind Li En.

"Anyone may offend the Holy See, but I, Li En Moria, will not."

Li En said confidently.

"Yes, Lord Li En is someone who has been recognized by the Golden Goddess."

Alex Poole said excitedly that he had witnessed with his own eyes the salvation of those cursed people. Although Li En said that those were "aging diseases", they were no different from the terrible curse.

Alex Poole believed that Li En must have been blessed by God.

Li En nodded slightly, agreeing with Alex Poole's statement.

In fact, he thought that the reason why he could not offend the Holy See was not because of the forest spirit Soraya, but because if he could not get before the God Tiger, he would be wiped out directly by Him.

Or he could become the favored one of the God Tiger, the golden son of the Church.

Either he would become a ghost under the command of the God Tiger, or he would not offend the Holy See.

The morning meeting lasted for an hour. After Li En handed over the important matters, he dealt with the piled up documents.

"Anna, can't you handle these trivial matters yourself?"

Why does Viscount Garin have to deal with such a trivial matter as discovering that his wife is committing adultery with Viscount Jamel himself?

Are you so free?
"Lord Li En, I am just your maid. Even if I wanted to deal with matters between nobles like this, I have no way to do so."

Anna stretched out her fair hands and massaged Li En's shoulders and back.

Li En raised an eyebrow, "Are you implying to me that you need status?"

"Yes, if my sister becomes your mistress, she can barely be considered a noble and can handle affairs between nobles."

Anne, who was clearing the plates, reminded.

Sure enough, Anna must have discovered that she had spent the previous night in Katherine's room.

Li En's mood was a little complicated.

Now that he and Catherine are still in the honeymoon period, how could he let Anna become his mistress?
Even if his dream is to have three wives and four concubines, he must at least ensure that Catherine is happy.

Catherine is extremely insecure now.

Even if Sophie asked, he couldn't agree.

Because Sophie is not yet an adult.

"Anna, I know a wise woman like you wouldn't be content to be just a man's mistress or a vassal. You must want to make a difference. I now appoint you as the lord's first secretary. From now on, you will have the right to access these documents and help me handle them when I don't have the energy to do so."

Li En fully believes in Anna's abilities.

"Of course, major events still need to be reported to me."

Anna was slightly stunned.

Annie also looked at Li En in surprise.

"what happened?"

Li En noticed that his maid was in a daze and asked with concern.

Could it be that the cake I gave was not big enough or round enough?

Should I promise some salary?
"Lord Li En, I am your slave. I am entitled to do anything you ask me to do. I do not need a position."

Anna said with her head down.

She was somewhat flattered, but also felt that this was against the rules.

If Li En created a position specifically for himself, it would not be good for Li En's reputation if it got out, after all, he was of humble status.

Li En remembered that he had confiscated Anna's freedom, and in a sense, she was indeed his slave.

But I am not a ruthless slave owner.

"Anna, now that I've said it, there's no reason to take it back. From today on, you're my secretary. Anyone who sees you must respect you, just like they respect me. You can handle matters like this between nobles."

Li En focused on the last sentence, but Anna and Annie heard the middle part.

Respect you as you would respect me.

The twin maids were flattered by this trust.

Anna's heart beat faster. Even for this trust, she would definitely do a good job as a secretary.

The victory banquet lasted two days.

On the morning of the third day, the messenger finally returned to Greenshade Territory and brought good news.

His Majesty the King recognized Catherine's legal right of succession.
