Miss Witch, it's time to clean up the entries
Chapter 113 Mary Frank’s incredible entry!
Chapter 113 Mary Frank’s incredible entry!
The night sky was illuminated by brilliant fireworks.
Catherine had to go through the process of the succession ceremony, ride on a float to receive the attention and blessings of the people of the entire territory, and return from the main street to the Blue Moon Castle, the highest point of power.
She finally sat on the throne belonging to the Lord of Blue Moon Castle, and as the Lord, announced the official start of the blessing ball for the nobles.
Catherine finally changed out of the heavy dress inlaid with gold and gems and put on a softer dress that fits her female curves better. At the ball, she took Li En's hand and danced with him for the first dance that everyone anticipated.
The candlelight flickered, and the magnificent hall was filled with a prosperous scene.
Under the crystal chandelier, the band played dance music with elegant and complex melodies.
As the baton rises and falls, the strings and wind instruments interweave into a magnificent melody, leading the rhythm of the dance steps.
Beside the intricately carved fireplace, flames danced, casting warm light on the nobles attending the ball.
The nobles who had been baptized by the Red Party were unusually well-behaved. They watched Li En and Catherine finish their first dance obediently and gave them applause.
Later, the nobles joined in the dance.
The young gentlemen in tuxedos and straight bow ties had their scabbards swaying gently with their steps; the ladies in fluffy long dresses of silk and satin, with shawls as light as wings on their shoulders, fluttering like elves as they danced.
They had smiles on their faces and happy glints in their eyes. Their mutual understanding and elegance became the most beautiful scenery of the dance.
On a long table in the corner, exquisite snacks and champagne were laid out. The cream on the cake took on an alluring luster under the candlelight, and the gentle clinking of wine glasses added a cheerful note to the dance. Waiters, their gestures equally well-practiced, moved among the crowd, smiling as they served the guests delicious food and fine wine.
Yet, even within this harmonious atmosphere, the calculations and schemes revealed in the eyes of some of the nobles were hard to conceal. They would whisper to each other during the breaks in the dance, or exchange glances under the cover of their wine glasses, and these subtle movements, interwoven with light and shadow, formed a vivid picture.
"I heard that Lady Mary is here."
"Then what should we do?"
"We have all signed a blood pact with the new lord under the witness of the High Priest. We cannot break our oath, or we will be punished by God."
"But we cannot bear Lady Mary's wrath."
"Why not leave now before she arrives?"
"That's a good idea."
Just when the nobles were about to slip away, the noisy sounds in the hall suddenly seemed to be muted.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the door.
A beautiful woman in a red dress walked into the banquet hall arm in arm with a black-haired man in a dress of the same color.
The woman had long curly chestnut hair and a face as delicate as a sculpture. There was a hint of extraordinary wildness between her eyebrows, and her eyes were deep and sharp, like the brightest stars in the night sky, both majestic and charming.
The man was gentle and elegant, with a look of melancholy between his brows, like a fallen aristocrat.
The two of them just appeared, attracting everyone's attention.
Behind them were the armored members of the Order of the Rose.
Catherine held Li En's hand tightly and looked at her brother Lor, whom she had never met, and her mortal enemy Mary with some nervousness.
"Don't be nervous, relax."
Li En comforted gently.
What kind of important figure has he not met? Even an outstanding queen like Catherine often appears in his previous hard drive, not to mention Mary.
But I have to admit that when I saw Bloody Mary in person, I was still shocked by her aura.
In comparison, Catherine was just a tender bud that had just broken through the soil, while she was already a thorny rose with lush branches and leaves.
Even so, the young Catherine could not show any timidity.
She needed to use hatred to cover up her fear.
Fear will not allow you to accomplish anything and will only give others a handle to use against you.
Catherine's eyes passed through the crowd and locked onto Mary.
Mary looked at Catherine playfully, like a hunter watching her prey.
The nobles automatically made way for them, leaving no obstacles between Mary and Catherine.
The background music has gone from soothing to aggressive, as if to dramatize the scene of two mortal enemies meeting.
Mary took Lor Jackson's hand and slowly came to Catherine and Li En.
When Lor Jackson saw his sister, whom he had never met before, he tried to remain indifferent.
Although he didn't want to be indifferent to his only remaining relative, he really wanted to give his sister a big hug. This was the tradition of the Jackson family. Family was above everything else.
Besides, if Catherine died, Noel Jackson believed that he would not live long, just like Mary's previous two husbands.
They are all her stepping stones, and will be ruthlessly abandoned after she achieves her goal.
Catherine also understood everything from Luo Er Jackson's melancholy eyes.
She knew he had no choice.
Even she was able to successfully escape from the Blue Moon Territory and obtain her father's seal with the help of her brother Lol Jackson.
Although the brother and sister have never met, they appreciate each other, which is a feeling that comes from blood relationship.
The tripartite alliance between the Lord of Rose Territory, the Lord of Blue Moon Territory and the Lord of Green Shade Territory is a historical moment worthy of being recorded in the history of the South. The status of the three should be divided from Mary, Catherine, and finally to Li En, according to the strength of the territories.
Therefore, Catherine and Li En should pay their respects to Mary, the southern overlord.
But Li En is not a person who follows tradition, and he doesn't even know about this tradition.
Catherine also regarded Mary as an enemy and would never greet her first.
So, none of the three saluted, and it was Lor Jackson who broke the awkwardness.
"Catherine."
"Brother Lor."
Catherine performed a family ritual to Lor Jackson, "Welcome back to Blue Moon Territory."
"Catherine, you should welcome me back to Blue Moon Territory, because I belong to this land more than you do."
Lol Jackson said arrogantly, "Also, when you meet Lady Mary, you should have the minimum courtesy and not embarrass the Jackson family."
"Welcome to the Lord of Rose Territory and Mr. Lor."
Katherine said distantly.
She knew that this was also what Lor meant. Only if they pretended that their relationship was bad enough could Lor live better with Mary.
"This is Lord Li En, the Lord of Green Shade Territory."
Catherine introduced.
Lor Jackson nodded slightly at Li En.
Mary looked at Li En with great interest, as if he could be her next prey.
Green Shade Territory was once heavily in debt and is still in debt now, but it is the only way for Rose Territory to reach the imperial capital, Yalong City. If Mary can get Green Shade Territory by copying the previous method, she doesn't mind having another husband.
If it was just a debt of 3 million gold, Mary was confident that she could help Li En repay it in one go.
Of course, she can also choose not to repay.
No one dared to go to the Southern Overlord to collect the debt. Li En looked at the many entries above Mary's head.
[Lord of the Rose Territory] [Royal Bloodline] [Overlord of the South] [Sequence 5 Holder] [Pretender to the Throne] [Conspirator] [Politician] [Military Strategist] [Kin Eater] [7-Star Order Knight] [Superior] [Chosen One] [Bloodthirsty One] [Charming] [Ambitious]
Among these fifteen entries, the one that gave Li En the most headaches was the [7-star Order Knight].
I didn’t expect that Mary would also follow the path of chivalry, and she is a genius in this field.
The person with the highest knight level that Li En has come into contact with so far is the old knight Rand John from the Green Shade Territory. He is a six-star Glory Knight who has spent 40 years and is also one of the people with outstanding talent.
According to Mr. Bill, Rand John's talent is legendary and he is considered one of the best knights in the empire.
A knight with poor talent like Bill will only be a three-star Glory Knight for the rest of his life.
In comparison, the five-star shining knight Kag Mori has better talent than Bill. It took him more than fifty years to reach five stars.
Hickman, the Knight Commander of the Pole Star Knights, is also extremely talented. He has reached the rank of five-star knight at the age of 42.
But they were nothing compared to Mary.
Mary's age is no more than 30 years old, but she has already reached the 7-star Order Knight!
There is a saying in the world of knights: if you break through three stars, you break through the boundary between mortals and supermen; if you break through six stars, you break through the boundary between supermen and demigods.
After seven stars, the knight will gain divinity.
The way of the knight and the way of the priest are both the paths of believers of the righteous god Tiger, but they are two completely different paths.
After obtaining divinity, one achieves the accumulation from quantitative change to qualitative change.
Legend has it that a 9-star legendary knight not only possesses power that rivals that of a witch, but is even close to being a god.
Of course, there has only been one such knight in the history of the Holy Empire, the Knight of Saint Laurent. This knight later disappeared on the sea while exploring the Forbidden Sea and was never seen again.
Mary reached the rank of a 7-star knight at such a young age. No wonder the old king took her with him to fight in his youth instead of taking her brother Auglas.
I'm afraid even Augulas would be scared when he saw this talent, right?
Mary is very likely to become the first person in this era to become a legendary knight by relying on her talent. Of course, excluding Li En who cheats, and excluding the fact that she spends all her time on power struggles.
If she could concentrate on the path of chivalry, she would definitely become a great knight whose name would be recorded in history.
But she was unwilling to be anyone's knight. She was ambitious and coveted the throne. She wanted to go from being the overlord of the south to becoming the overlord of the empire and the emperor of the empire.
There are two more entries that give Li En a headache.
[Sequence 5 Holder] You are the true holder of the Ripper. The Ripper replaces your right hand and becomes a part of your body. You can call upon the Ripper's power at any time. Wearing this entry, you will be unable to suppress your inner desire for blood. When you are angry, you can only use life and blood to fill the manic restlessness in your heart.
[The Chosen One] You are a lucky person blessed by the God of Tiger. You are destined to be extraordinary since birth, and you will leave your own footprints in history.
The former represents strength, and the latter represents fortune.
A seven-star Order Knight is enough to cause headaches, and with the addition of a Sequence 5 Ripper and her natural good luck, could this guy be the future empress chosen by Tiger himself?
Li En rubbed his eyebrows and found that he had met the real big boss.
7-star Order Knight, as the name suggests, she also possesses power in terms of order.
She can establish rules within a certain range and require everyone to abide by them. This is part of her divinity.
Li En finally understood why the seemingly smart Lor Jackson chose to marry Mary even though he knew it was a trap.
Maybe with just one word from Mary, he would become her fiancé.
For example, Mary said that the most handsome man present would become her fourth husband.
Then wouldn't you be the one who got caught?
Although she was first-rate in appearance, even more exquisite than Catherine, she was definitely not his type. She was a real femme fatale.
If she wanted to cause trouble at the party, I wonder if Dora could stop her.
If you can't win, you can only sacrifice yourself.
While she has only gained a little divinity, sacrifice her to Jiari's [Eye of Doom].
Uh, she seems to be someone that God Tiger values. Will doing this bring hatred from the righteous gods?
Li En's mind was in a mess, and he stared at Mary for a long time.
It wasn't until Catherine squeezed his hand, squeezed it really hard, that he came to his senses.
Mary was very satisfied with the way Li En looked at her with infatuated eyes.
She considered it a sign of her charm.
Both Lore Jackson and Catherine had frowned without knowing when.
"Sorry, I just thought of a story and lost my composure."
Li En said.
"Oh? What story did you come up with?"
Mary asked with interest.
"Katherine, do you want to know?"
Li En looked at his fiancée beside him.
Catherine regained her composure and nodded slightly.
"Then let's not stand here. Let's go to the seats over there, enjoy the wine and food, and I'll tell you all the story of that legendary woman."
Hearing that she was a legendary woman, both Mary and Catherine became interested.
Lor was just a supporting role, following Mary to the seats in the banquet hall and taking a seat.
Several powerful people of considerable status sat together, and other nobles did not dare to approach them. They even had no intention of continuing the dance, but they did not dare to leave at this time.
"First of all, I want to make it clear that this is a fictional story. The protagonist of the story is Catherine I Alexeyevna, the sixth Tsar of the Romanov dynasty of Russia and the Emperor of the Russian Empire."
"Where is Russia?"
Katherine asked curiously.
"It's also a made-up name."
Li En explained, and then slowly told Catherine and Mary the story of Catherine the Great, the one starring Marina Alexandrova.
The ups and downs of the plot, coupled with the strong female protagonist, immediately attracted two women who were destined to show their talents on the political stage.
Li En instantly became the focus of everyone's attention.
Even the dancing nobles couldn't help but listen attentively.
When Li En said that he had forgotten the plot, everyone groaned.
"Who wrote this novel?"
Mary asked.
She decided to invite the novelist to Rose Coliseum, lock him up in a small dark room, and have him write only for her from now on.
She wanted to write her story into the most exciting biography of Marie the Great.
Catherine was also very curious. She wanted to invite the novelist to the Blue Moon Territory. She would grant him a noble status and let him concentrate on creating more excellent works.
In this era, there is a lack of such inspirational works that declare women's worth.
