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

Chapter 11 Freedom and the Careless

Lord's Mansion.

Inside the empty treasure house.

Li En looked at the twin maids kneeling on the ground with a meaningful expression.

"You didn't intend to kill us from the beginning, did you? Otherwise, under the threat of the Ice Witch, we wouldn't have had any chance of fighting back. You were simply testing us, wanting to see how many methods and abilities we possessed, and now you've discovered the results."

Anna said calmly.

"Oh? What's the result?"

Li En asked curiously.

"I am good at thinking, and my sister is good at assassination. We are the talents you need."

Anna said firmly.

Anne never doubted her sister's analysis.

Li En discovered that Anna was really smart. He could sense this when she cooperated with him to persuade the bank envoy Emron. Sometimes, she could sense what he wanted to do with just a glance, such as taking out the lord's seal as collateral.

Such a smart maid is exactly the secretary he needs.

So, no matter who sent her or what her purpose was, Li En decided to capture this chess piece.

As for Anne, who is good at assassination, doesn't this mean that she has another bodyguard by her side?
"Yes, the analysis is correct."

Li En clapped his hands, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Then let's make a deal."

This familiar line made Sophie tremble slightly. Could it be that Lord Li En also wanted to clear the entries for them?
"What deal?"

Anna raised her head, her beautiful eyes twinkling slightly.

Annie also looked at Li En curiously.

"I will give you freedom in exchange for your loyalty."

Li En did not see any words like "loyalty" on them, which proved that they lacked loyalty even to their organizations. This meant that they did not voluntarily become spies to infiltrate the Green Shade Territory and negotiate for rebellion.

So what do spies and assassins desire most? It's definitely freedom! Because their lives have been controlled from the start, becoming pawns in someone else's hands, they yearn for freedom.

"free?"

Anna and Anne were both stunned.

This word really hit their hearts directly.

"Yes, no one is born a spy or an assassin. The organization that trained you must have also deprived you of your freedom. I am now returning this freedom to you."

Li En said.

"How to pay it back?"

Anna looked at Li En suspiciously.

There was also a hint of uncertainty in Anne's eyes.

Can he really do it?
Do you want to believe him?
Li En looked at the twins and said, "There are two paths. Choose your own."

"The first path: I won't ask about your past. Whatever you've done in the past has nothing to do with me. We'll only talk about the present. You'll be my loyal employees, and I'll be your generous boss. You'll no longer be spies and assassins, but simply citizens of the Green Shade Territory, enjoying all the freedoms and rights of a citizen."

"The second way is to tell me your past. I will help you completely break away from it. From now on, we will become close partners."

Hide the past and cut off the past.

Anna and Anne fell into deep thought.

Anna prefers the former, but she knows that hidden secrets will eventually be revealed and the people hiding will eventually appear.

Anne prefers the latter, but she knows the cost is huge. What if the new lord changes his mind after she tells him?
In fact, there is a third way for Anna and Anne.

They saw Sophie out of the corner of their eyes. She still had no expression on her face, like a cold sculpture.

That’s right, the third way is to refuse the deal with Li En, flee forever, and become the target of public criticism.

No smart person would choose the third way.

This is a psychological game. The third way is pressure, letting them know that they can only choose between the first and the second.

The first path seemed to be hiding the past, but in reality it was a temporary solution, allowing them to pretend to be loyal and continue their mission. The second path was what Li En really wanted them to choose, to completely say goodbye to the past, because only in this way could they be completely loyal to him.

So, although it looks like a multiple-choice question, it is actually a single-choice question.

After Anna figured this out, a smile appeared on her lips.

"Lord Li En, you are an interesting person. Perhaps it would be interesting to follow you."

"The premise is that you can really help us cut off the past."

Anne added.

Li En already knew the sisters' choice. He opened his arms as if to hug them and said gently,

"Then tell me about your past and your fears, and let me judge."

This voice seemed to be bewitching, making people want to confide in it.

Anna and Anne had thought about it and knew that the outcome couldn't be any worse than it was now, so they just told their secret directly.

"We were sent by Lady Mary, the female leader of Rose Territory, to obtain the Sequence 6 Eye of the Future."

Anna and Annie explained their intentions. In fact, they had been hiding in the Green Shade Territory for so long and had never had the chance to enter the treasure house.

Because when the old lord Moria was still in the Green Shade Territory, the treasury was always heavily guarded inside and outside.

Now these heavy troops have been withdrawn because the treasury has been emptied.

If Anna and Anne knew that the old lord was so reckless that he not only ran away but also took away a Sequence 6, they would definitely send a message to Lady Mary immediately.

After hearing the two people's true purpose and the mastermind behind the scenes, Li En breathed a sigh of relief.

The Eye of the Future has been taken away by Lao Deng, which means that there is no direct conflict between him and them.

"Bloody Mary?"

Anna and Annie were stunned. They didn't expect Li En to summarize it so well, but no one had ever dared to call Mary that.

"Lady Mary has trained many spies and assassins. Our main goal is to find the Gift for her."

Anna confessed.

"So what did she hold of you?"

Lee En asked.

“She holds our hearts.”

Anne said.

Then, a red entry suddenly popped up in front of Li En's eyes.

Hidden entry【Heartless】

[Heartless] had his heart taken away by the Sequence 5 Ripper, becoming a Heartless. The Heartless cannot be killed unless their heart is damaged. Every full moon night, they will turn into an insane monster and suffer endless pain.

The entries above Anna and Annie's heads have changed, with an additional red entry for [Careless].

"So, Lord Li En, do you still want to continue with this transaction?"

Anna and Annie stood up and looked at Li En.

"This is indeed difficult. I have no way of taking your hearts back."

Anna and Anne both showed disappointed expressions.

It was indeed like that. No one could take away the hearts that belonged to Lady Mary.

As long as the heart is in Mary's hands, they will never be free.

So this transaction was not established from the beginning.

Anna and Anne, whose secret has been exposed, now have only one way to go: take advantage of Li En's downtime to kill him and force the witch Sophie to use magic frequently and lose control.

This way, even if the mission fails, at least I won't return to Lady Mary empty-handed.

At least it helped her solve the Green Shade Territory problem.
