Chapter 115: So Smooth
Mary, the southern overlord with long chestnut hair and innate noble temperament, looked at Yasin Matic's pleading eyes and felt the difficulty for the first time.

Mary had never seen anyone as shameless as Li En in taking advantage of the situation.

His chief knight killed an assassin to protect his master. Even though the assassin was the governor of Yusofa, he was just a small figure compared to his noble status.

And Li En, this seemingly insignificant guy, is obviously just an illegitimate child, but he is so confident that he brought out the entire Moria family, the Prime Minister of the Empire and the Creed family, and also exaggerated the deep "father-son" relationship between him and Krishi so that no one can find fault with it.

This is obviously not directed at Yasin Matic.

This was in response to his attack on Catherine.

If he was willing to give up Yasin Matic, he could continue to use Catherine's feelings for her family and force her to choose between Lor Jackson and the position of Lord of Blue Moon Territory.

If he was unwilling to give up Yasin Matic, he would have to compromise on Catherine's matter.

Mary's brows wrinkled slightly. She could abandon anyone present, but Yasin Matic. He was not only her chief knight, but also her mentor. When she followed her father to the battlefield, her mentor had risked his life to save her many times.

Mary is a bloodthirsty and cruel person who disregards life, but she is very affectionate towards the people she cares about.

She would never give up Yasin Matic for a puny, treacherous Klich.

Mary looked at Lee En Moriah, whose eyes were still red and he was very emotional, and finally understood why he was able to reach the Blue Moon Territory before her and why he was regarded as a life-saving straw by Catherine.

The man in front of me is indeed different.

Mary put down her wine glass, and the atmosphere at the scene became more solemn.

The nobles trembled with fear.

Alex Poole's heart was in his throat, his fair cheeks became even paler, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

Cobb already had his hand on the scabbard, ready to strike at any moment.

Except for the high priest who remained calm, everyone in the clergy team became inexplicably nervous, including the knights of the Pole Star Knights.

The imperial envoy Oppa suddenly felt fortunate that he had not offended the scoundrel Li En. He was eager to see a fight between the two sides with an attitude of watching the show.

Everyone looked at Mary nervously, uneasy, not knowing how Mary would handle this matter.

Should he just flip the table or kill Yasin Matic to give Li En an explanation?
Finally, Mary broke the silence and said,
"Yacin Matic is to me what Clichy is to you. Yasin Matic is my chief knight and my mentor. He has saved me three times on the battlefield. I am willing to repay his debt. Tell me, what do you need to make up for the trauma of losing your father?"

Mary's last sentence was clearly a satire on Li En.

But Li En didn't care and continued with his immersive performance of Hamlet.

"Oh, Uncle Krissy, my poor Uncle Krissy, you're dead, yet some people think I'll use your death as a bargaining chip to exchange for compensation. This is simply a blasphemy against our deep feelings, a contempt for the entire Moria family, a provocation to the Creed family, and a provocation to the Prime Minister of the Empire..."

Before Li En could finish his words, he was interrupted by Mary.

"Yacin Matic, will you die for me?"

Mary looked at Chief Knight Yasin Matic.

Yasin Matic knelt on one knee and presented his sword.

"Lady Mary, I am willing to give my life for you and will never regret following you."

Li En frowned. Could it be that this cruel woman really wanted to kill her mentor?
His choice of Yasin Matic was not without purpose.

After Klich was killed, Li En noticed the entry above Yasin Matic's head and understood the special relationship between Yasin Matic and Mary.

This six-star knight taught Mary the way of chivalry and accompanied Mary since childhood. He may have a better relationship with Mary than Mary's biological father.

If Mary really could do it, Li En would have to think of other ways to eliminate the crisis facing Catherine.

Noel Jackson couldn't die, at least not in front of Katherine.

Li En didn't want his fiancée to have any shadow in her heart.

She has just been given a new life and should not continue to be dominated by Mary's fear.

Mary took the knight's sword from Yasin Matic.

"Yasin Matić, you made a mistake. Although you saved me, you killed a treacherous coward and offended a shameless noble. I must punish you. I will strip you of your position as Grand Master and Chief Knight of the Order of the Rose and exile you to become a commoner. Are you willing to accept this punishment?"

"I am willing."

Yasin Matic said with a frown.

He was stripped of his nobility, which was tantamount to killing him.

Being stripped of his status as Chief Knight meant he had lost his honor and privileges.

Yasin Matic had saved Mary many times, but never once was he punished. This was the first time he experienced the feeling of falling from a great height.

Mary handed the knight's sword belonging to Yasin Matic to Li En.
"If you are not satisfied with my handling of the matter, you can kill this civilian in front of you, but you will face the wrath of the Southern Overlord."

What Mary meant was, if you are not satisfied with what I am doing, then we will go to war.

Moreover, this war was started by you, Lien Moriah.

Li En naturally wouldn't be fooled.

This was not the compromise he wanted Mary to make.

And Mary just called herself a shameless noble!

"I am not satisfied, very dissatisfied! My uncle Clichy lost his life, and Yasin Matic just lost his noble title. This is not fair."

Everyone was shocked when Li En roared at Mary so angrily.

Lee Eun acted like a teenager who had lost a loved one, his emotions were so genuine.

He was so courageous that he even dared to roar at the Southern overlord Mary.

Mary was also stunned by his roar.

This was the first time in her life that she had faced someone's yelling.

This made her feel very, very, very new.

Li En snatched the sword from Mary's hand and pointed it at Yasin Matic.

Yasin Matic frowned and closed his eyes, thinking that he would die in the upcoming war and become the fuse of the war.

As long as he could get Mary the hegemony she wanted, his death was a worthy one.

Yasin Matic is ready to die in peace.

Many ministers and nobles were so frightened that their legs went limp.

Li En raised his sword, and Mary's eyes became sharp.

Nancy Scalia tried to stop it, but was stopped by Mary.

She wanted to see if the young man in front of her really dared to do this.

If he really did that, Mary wouldn't mind dismembering him on the spot to avenge Chief Knight Yasin Matic.

Li En gave Alex Poole a look, but Alex Poole didn't understand.

"Lord Li En, no matter what decision you make, we will always support you." Alex Poole was ready for war.

Li En sweatdropped.

He regretted not bringing Anna with him, as Anna would definitely be able to understand his eyes.

Cobb, Crowley, Anderson and the others didn't like to use their brains and just looked at him nervously.

Li En had no choice but to try his luck and try to build a good understanding with his fiancée.

The corner of his eyes drifted to Catherine's fair face and met her beautiful eyes.

Clever Catherine grabbed Li En's arm to stop him from chopping with the sword.

"Honey, you can't do this!"

Catherine tried her best to organize her words, after all, she was not as good at lying as Li En.

Luckily she wasn't alone.

After she understood what Li En meant, Dora also understood.

The lively and active Dora could no longer contain her passion to perform.

Just after watching Li En perform alone, she felt very eager to show her skills.

"Catherine, don't stop me. I must kill this man and avenge my Uncle Chrissy."

"Oh, Lord Li En, have you forgotten what kind of person Uncle Chrissy is?"

Dora suddenly joined in.

Li En and Catherine looked at her in confusion.

She excitedly pulled Li En's other arm.
"He was a devout believer in the God of Tiger. After all his family members were tragically killed overnight, he realized that this was God's punishment for slaughtering countless innocent people in war over the years, for having blood on his hands. From then on, he refused to even step on an ant, hoping to atone for his sins and gain peace for his family in heaven."

Dora held the hands of Li En and Catherine at the same time.
"We must respect the great Uncle Krissy. I believe he doesn't need us to avenge him. He doesn't want to add to the bloodshed because of him. Instead of avenging Uncle Krissy, it's better to fulfill his last wish."

Yusofa's governor, Krishi, must not have imagined that his despicable character would be sublimated after his death and he would be called the great Uncle Krishi.

"Last wish? What was Uncle Chrissy's last wish?"

Li En pretended to be in pain and put down the knight's sword.

At the same time, I was complaining in my heart, Miss Magic Box, you are really good at talking nonsense. Why didn’t I realize that you also have acting talent?

Mary narrowed her eyes. She always felt that Dora was very serious, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her.

"Dora, the Witch of Disease."

Nancy Scalia pointed in disbelief at Dora, a beautiful girl wearing a long white dress and with her red hair tied up high.

Only then did Mary realize that the actress in front of her was actually the Witch of Disease.

Didn't she lose control and die?
"Oh, you know my sister Dora. Unfortunately, I'm not her sister. I'm Dora's twin sister. My name is Magic Box."

Dora looked at Nancy Scalia with a smile, and then continued in the puzzled eyes of everyone,

"Uncle Chrissy's wish is for his lovely nephew and niece to reconcile. He is a loyal vassal of the Jackson family and has watched Catherine and Lor grow up. He doesn't want you to become enemies. If possible, he hopes that you can live in harmony."

At this time, Luo Er Jackson finally came to his senses.

He knew he was going to be rescued.

"Alright, I don't need this gentleman's head anymore. I just want to fulfill Uncle Chrissy's last wish. Lady Mary, please return Lor Jackson to Blue Moon Territory. Although he deceived you, he is Catherine's brother after all. We will imprison him in the church forever and make him serve the God of Tiger for the rest of his life to atone for his mistakes."

Li En looked at Mary with compassion.

This time it was Mary's turn to feel melancholy.

She really didn't expect this move.

It was performed so smoothly.

Catherine looked at Mary nervously, and Dora took her hand and gave her an affirmative look.

The high priest Cosem Pizarro stood up at this time and said calmly,
"The God of Tiger is willing to accept the sinner Lore Jackson. You can stay with me."

When Li En heard the high priest's words, the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously.

Brother Lor Jackson, it’s not that I don’t want to save you, you just escaped from the tiger’s den and are about to enter the wolf’s den.

Hearing the high priest say this, Mary could only sneer.

But she was such a smart and talented person that she immediately thought of a corresponding solution.

"Since Catherine and the High Priest can forgive Lor, why can't I? Lor, you can leave me and return to Blue Moon Territory. Do you need me to help you call Grace? She has always been responsible for serving you and knows your preferences best. It's just that she seems to be feeling a little unwell recently. I heard that she is pregnant."

Mary looked at Noel Jackson.

Luo Er Jackson was slightly stunned.

She knew Mary was threatening her.

Grace is Noel Jackson's maid, a beautiful noblewoman, and Mina's sister.

Because Lore Jackson is under too much pressure living in Rose County, he often plays poker with Grace to get rid of his inner fear and anxiety. Now Grace is pregnant with his child.

If Lore Jackson agrees now to return to Greenshade Territory and break away from Mary.

Mary would kill Grace and her unborn child without hesitation.

After hearing that Lor Jackson was having an affair with a woman named Grace, the high priest immediately lost interest in Lor Jackson.

He slowly stood up and left, taking all the priests and pastors with him.

A smile played at the corner of Mary's mouth.

She had long known that High Priest Cosem Pizarro liked virgins, and that was the benefit of having spies throughout the Holy Empire.

Mina clenched her fists nervously as she heard her sister's name. She had once thought her entire family had perished in the Blue Moon Territory disaster.

Unexpectedly, there was a survivor, and it was her close sister Grace.

"Ms. Catherine, Grace is my sister."

Mina whispered.

Catherine's beautiful brows frowned, she knew this was Mary's plan.

Like his father, Lor Jackson places great value on family.

Li En really wanted to tell Lor Jackson the story of his father, Lord Moriah, again, but he found that it seemed inappropriate with his fiancée present.

"Lady Mary, please return Grace to us. I am willing to forgive the hatred that Yasin Matic had for killing Uncle Krissy. Yasin Matic can continue to serve as your chief knight."

Li En said without any guilt, "I believe this is what Uncle Chrissy wants to see."
