Miss Witch, it's time to clean up the entries
Chapter 108 The Real Rich Woman
Chapter 108 The Real Rich Woman
A slight difference can make a difference of a thousand miles.
Just as the Green Shade Territory's army entered the high wall, Yusofa's vanguard army, which bordered the Blue Moon Territory, also arrived outside the high wall.
This army originally belonged to Yusofa, but now it belongs to Mary, Lord of the Rose Territory.
They have been secretly monitoring everything that happens in the Blue Moon Territory and even bribed a priest from the Vatican.
So after the pollution was completely cleared in Blue Moon Territory, they got the news immediately and went out in full force.
They have only one goal, to prevent Catherine from succeeding as the Lord of Blue Moon Territory.
If Catherine became the real lord, Mary's army would have lost the initiative for justice when it came to the border again, and supporting the Jackson family to regain the Blue Moon Territory would have turned into naked plunder.
So, Mary would never allow this to happen.
As soon as the news was received, Yusofa's army was sent to intercept Catherine, and a large number of assassins were also sent.
These assassins had only one goal: to kill Catherine.
In fact, Mary did not expect that Li En, a descendant of the Moria family, could actually deal with Dora in advance, urge the Holy See to complete the cleanup work, and move into the Blue Moon Territory in such a short time.
Intelligence officer Nancy Scalia was severely punished for this.
Not only was his position demoted, but he also suffered a flogging by Mary.
Eusoff's general, Clichy, was also killed. If Catherine could not be prevented from succeeding to the throne, not only would he die, but all his family members, including Mary, would not be spared.
Krissy frowned as he watched the army carrying the Green Shade Territory's logo enter the high wall.
His army was quickly stopped by Crowley's army.
"You are not allowed to enter the Blue Moon Territory without permission."
Crowley had a stern face and spoke decisively, blocking the armored Chrissy with a spear.
"Don't get me wrong, we are vassals of the Jackson family. Upon hearing the news that Miss Catherine has returned, we naturally have to enter the territory to celebrate."
Kerry said.
The fact that Yusofa was able to survive between big territories like Blue Moon Territory and Rose Territory was indeed related to their defection to Blue Moon Territory, but this has long become history, and they have now become a territory of Rose Territory.
But Mary's current husband is Noel Jackson.
In a sense, it is not wrong to say that Yusof is still a vassal of the Jackson family.
“You can’t bring an army.”
Crowley said coldly.
"Okay, I'll just bring my knights."
General Youssoufah Krishi wants to bring the Knights into the Blue Moon Territory, where many assassins are hiding.
As long as these assassins succeed, he will have accomplished a great feat.
Besides, his army only had 5000 people, which was completely insufficient compared to the Green Shade Territory's army of people.
It would be better to settle for the second best and bring in the elite knights and assassins.
Nobles were allowed to bring their private knights with them when entering other lords' fiefs. This was also a tradition of the Holy Empire, and the old soldier Crowley could not stop it.
So, Krishi led a group of 50 knights and followed the Green Shade Territory's army into the high wall.
Chrissy squeezed his legs against the horse's belly and continued to speed up until he caught up with the luxurious carriage at the front of the team.
The carriage was decorated with the common logo of the Blue Moon Territory and the Green Shade Territory. It was a carriage specially built by Li En for Catherine.
This carriage also symbolizes the deep friendship between the two leaders.
"Miss Catherine, I am Chrissy from Youssoufa, do you remember?"
Catherine had no impression of Chrissie because she had lived in the tower since she was old enough to understand.
The maid, Mina, whispered a reminder, "Miss Catherine, Yusofa was once a vassal of our Blue Moon Territory. Krishi was Yusofa's general. After Yusofa's family property was annexed by Lord Mary, he also defected to Lord Mary and became Yusofa's governor. Governor Krishi is 57 years old this year. His first wife was your aunt, so he is considered your relative."
Mina was born into a noble family and grew up in the aristocratic circle of Blue Moon Territory. Through the influence of her surroundings, she has a good understanding of the political situation and important figures around Blue Moon Territory.
This is also the reason why old Lord Jackson left Mina to Catherine.
He probably anticipated this and knew that this day would come.
Li En looked at the maid Mina in surprise. He didn't expect that besides being a weak and incompetent Sayuri and a well-behaved and sensible maid, she also had so much value.
As expected, none of the maids around the nobles were simple ignorant girls.
They either possess rich knowledge, or are absolutely beautiful, or are aristocrats themselves.
Mina is plain-looking and has many freckles on her face, but she can make up for Catherine's lack in interpersonal skills.
Looking at Li En's surprised eyes, Mina's cheeks turned slightly red when she felt affirmed.
She always feels ashamed when she sees Li En now.
The scene of the golden forest wanting to share itself is still vivid in my mind.
She had secretly vowed that she would never be alone with Li En because it was too embarrassing.
Catherine nodded slightly and said to Chrissy outside the window,
"Uncle Chrissy, I remember you. My aunt was your first wife. Thank you for bringing the Knights to swear allegiance."
Chrissy was stunned for a moment, then decided to continue as Catherine said.
"The Jackson family still has many subordinates. They were outside before the disaster. If you need them, I can call them all back."
In theory, if Catherine wants to inherit the position of Lord of Blue Moon Territory, not only does she need people from the Holy See to be present at the succession ceremony, but she also needs most of the Jackson family's subjects to witness it.
This is a conspiracy.
Catherine must agree to his request.
He could overturn Catherine's right of succession by summoning these ministers and convening a parliament.
Because there is another Lor Jackson in the Jackson family.
Compared to Catherine who has no political background, Lor Jackson has made many political achievements in the Blue Moon Territory, and now has the support of the powerful Southern Lord Mary.
The subjects will definitely choose to support Lor Jackson.
"The Jackson family had eighteen vassals. The Ivanchuk and Ferguson families were the lord's most respected families. They died in the disaster along with the lord. The other vassals left Blue Moon Territory for various reasons before the disaster, taking many people with them. I believe they were bribed by the people of Rose Territory long ago."
Mina whispered another reminder.
Catherine's pretty eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
Could this group of people still support her when they get together?
"Alright, let them all come. If our Catherine succeeds to the throne without any ministers, it would seem a bit unjustified."
Li En smiled and answered Chrissy's words on behalf of Catherine.
Only then did Chrissy notice the young Lord of Greenshade in the carriage.
That dazzling golden hair can be recognized even standing in the ruins. This is the child of the Moria family.
"This must be Lord Li En Moriah."
Krish said modestly.
"Steward Chrisi, you don't have to be so polite. You are Catherine's uncle, and you are my elder. Just do whatever you want. We are all family, so there is no need to be so polite."
Li En spoke politely.
Chrissy forced a smile. "Yes, but necessary etiquette must still be observed. You are still the lord of Green Shade Territory, and I must still respectfully address you as Lord Li En."
"Uncle Chrissy is so kind."
The two of them exchanged pleasantries, leaving Catherine aside.
Catherine didn't mind. She was just wondering why Li En agreed to Chrissy's request on her behalf.
Could it be that he has already thought of a solution?
The army escorted the luxurious carriage through the deserted streets and arrived at the Blue Moon Territory's castle. The sunlight fell on the towering castle, outlining the ancient building's outline even more clearly.
The history of the castle is as long as that of the Blue Moon Territory. It was built by the first head of the Jackson family, at least two hundred years earlier than the Green Shade Territory.
As you enter the castle, you will see rows of long carved tables covered with bright red silk tablecloths in the center of the spacious hall.
The silver cutlery and crystal wine glasses on the table complement each other, reflecting the soft candlelight.
Exquisite paintings and gleaming armor hung on both sides of the corridor, each exhibit revealing the Jackson family's wealth and taste. Walking on the soft carpet felt like stepping on clouds, and the sound of footsteps echoed in the empty castle.
The staircase spiraled upwards, leading to a series of magnificent dormitories. Inside, there were beds decorated with gold trim, soft down mattresses covered with satin quilts, silk curtains fluttering in the breeze, and outside the windows were views of rolling hills and drifting white clouds.
Li En discovered that compared to Catherine's Blue Moon Castle, his own Green Shade Lord's Mansion seemed a bit shabby.
The area of this castle is five times that of Lord Li En's mansion.
Every decoration in the castle looks valuable, and magic stones made from the Blue Moon Mine can be seen everywhere.
Only then did Li En realize that he had truly relied on the rich woman.
Catherine is now the owner of the castle and she becomes the 13th head of the Jackson family.
She was obliged to receive guests who came to the castle, even if it was the ulterior motive of Governor Yusofa, Krishi.
The castle remained intact, but without a single servant.
Catherine only brought a maid, a knight, and the witch Dora by her side.
But Li En had already thought of it for her in advance. He pulled out a group of people from the lord's mansion and set out with them. Now they can serve the castle.
Anna originally wanted to come along, but was rejected by Li En on the grounds that the first secretary had to stay in the lord's mansion to handle official business.
Since Anna didn't come, Anne naturally wouldn't come either.
She needed to stay home to keep her sister safe.
The servants of Green Shade Territory left their homes and came to Blue Moon Territory to work. In order to show her generosity as a mistress, Catherine gave them a raise and promised to treat their families well forever.
The servants no longer had any scruples, were bribed with money, and began to work efficiently.
The castle only truly began to function after it had servants.
Catherine arranged accommodation for all the people who were on the move. The army was stationed outside the castle, and the cadres of the Green Shade Territory, the clergy of the Holy See, and the Archon Chrissy of Eusofah all stayed in the castle.
After everything was arranged, the hostess Catherine, led by Mina, came to the luxurious bedroom belonging to the Lord of Blue Moon Territory.
The top floor of Blue Moon Castle is just one room per floor.
This is the bedroom of the lords of all generations.
It includes bedrooms, bathrooms, living rooms, ballrooms, studies, entertainment rooms, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and a large sightseeing terrace.
Dora looked at the extremely luxurious top-floor bedroom. Every wine glass on the table was made of priceless gemstones.
"Catherine, are you going to start living a life of extravagance and squandering money?"
"Dora, I'm not interested in these things. If you like them, just take them."
Catherine rubbed her temples. She just felt particularly tired today.
"Okay, Catherine, you need to rest. Let's go take a bath first. A bath is the best way to relax."
"Miss Catherine, I will prepare a bath for you right away."
Mina said with a smile.
Mina was in a very good mood as she was able to return to Blue Moon Castle.
Catherine and Dora were bathing, and the sound of their laughter reached Lee En's room downstairs.
In fact, the castle's sound insulation is still very good, but as a five-star knight, Li En has excellent hearing.
Of course he could hear the laughter upstairs.
"Should I take a shower too?"
Li En touched his chin.
Staying up late made him grow a light beard.
He needs a Philips.
Unfortunately, there are no such tools in this era. We only have the simplest blades, the kind that can easily cut flesh.
"Alex, why are you coming to my place instead of staying in your own room?"
Lee En looked at Alex Poole.
This time, apart from the maids, he brought an all-male army.
The maids were also prepared for Catherine.
Alex Poole said seriously,
"Lord Li En, Lord Mary must have known about our entry into the territory. I suspect she has already sent assassins. I want to remind you to be careful."
"Well, assassinating Catherine is indeed the most direct way. Don't worry, Catherine has a powerful bodyguard by her side. I believe Miss Magic Box will not let me down."
As a woman, Dora can truly provide 24-hour close protection.
Unlike me, there are always various reasons why I am not by Catherine's side.
For example, going to the bathroom alone.
"Besides Miss Catherine, you also have to worry about her."
"Bloody Mary probably won't attack me for the time being."
Li En said confidently.
"why?"
Alex Poole asked in confusion.
"Because I am now the only descendant of old Moria, and Catherine is Jackson's only descendant. If Catherine dies, there is still Lor Jackson who can inherit the position of lord. If I die, Green Shade Territory will return to the hands of the King of the Holy Empire. Mary definitely doesn't want to see this happen."
Li En analyzed.
In fact, this is true. The assassins sent by Mary were all intended to assassinate Catherine.
As for Li En, to Mary, living is more valuable than dying.
"Master Li En, Master Moria has more than just you as a child. He has many descendants."
Alex Poole said hesitantly.
Only then did Li En realize that even the three ministers that Moria valued most did not know the true price of the Eye of the Future.
They probably thought that Moria's family members were still alive.
Poor old Deng, he sacrificed his family but didn't get a single good review.
Most people in Green Shade Territory misunderstood him.
I don't know whether I need to clear his name.
"Alex, you have to remember that my father Moria values me very much. He would do anything for my safety."
"What do you mean? Lord Moria will kill other heirs for you?"
Alex Poole asked suspiciously.
"No, he has no other heirs."
Li En's words made Alex Poole think about it with horror.
"Okay, don't worry about me, Alex. Go take a shower and get ready for the dinner tonight."
