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

Chapter 118 More Beautiful (asking for guaranteed monthly ticket)
In the luxurious bedroom bathed in morning light,
Catherine kissed Li En on the cheek excitedly.
"I will immediately have someone build a church for the Golden Goddess in Blue Moon Territory. The church must be completed within seven days."

Normally, it is impossible to build a church within a week, but this is a world with magic, and there are many similar existing buildings in the Blue Moon Territory, which can be reused and upgraded, so there is still hope to build a complete church within a week.

"I believe in the speed of Blue Moon Territory."

Li En picked up the clothes that fell on the ground and put them on, covering up his attractive eight-pack abs.

After hearing Catherine's instructions, Mina immediately went into the inner room and changed Catherine's clothes.

In Mina's eyes, Catherine was undoubtedly becoming more and more feminine. Her crystal clear skin was white with a rosy glow, and her already perfect curves were even more graceful, especially her plump and snow-white breasts.

She bit her lip and complained in her heart that Catherine was too perfect. With such a figure and body, how could she escape the clutches of the men of the Moria family?

Looking at Li Enmoriah standing beside him, every strand of his golden hair seemed to be showing off his victory.

Although he is indeed very masculine and unforgettable, and will become the dream lover of countless women, Mina is the only one who will not be shaken.

Mina thought she had gotten used to it, but since coming to Blue Moon Territory, Catherine had basically not slept with Li En, which made Mina feel better for a few days. Unexpectedly, they were passionately intertwined again last night. Even though Mina was waiting by the door, she could hear the lewd music, which made her feel frustrated again.

Besides being jealous of Li En, she was also worried about her sister Grace.

She is pregnant now, but is still in the hands of Lord Mary, and she doesn't know whether she can come back safely.

Because she was in a bad mood, Mina tied the belt on Catherine too tightly, almost making Catherine unable to breathe.

"Ah, Mina, loosen up a bit."

Catherine wondered if she had really gained weight.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Miss Catherine."

Mina apologized immediately.

"Actually, I don't think you need a waist belt. Your waist is beautiful enough."

Li En felt that Catherine didn't need to make her body shape go against the laws of nature and become a paper man.

"This is etiquette, tradition, decency and elegance."

Catherine said stubbornly.

Fortunately, Catherine did not say that it was for beauty.

In Li En's eyes, she was more beautiful without any clothes.

Li En looked at Catherine wearing a complicated and layered crinoline dress and various gorgeous accessories, and suddenly felt that he should promote Anna's long dress to Blue Moon Collar as soon as possible.

"It won't be long before you become more elegant."

Li En said with a smile.

Catherine took Li En's hand and said, "Come on, we should go out."

The two walked in front, and Mina followed behind.

Catherine suddenly turned around and said to Mina, "Mina, don't worry too much. For some things, we can only work hard, and the decision lies in the hands of God."

"Ah."

Mina lowered her head slightly, her eyes moist.

She knew that Catherine was encouraging her, and in some ways, she understood the political situation even better than Catherine.

Influenced by her family since childhood, she felt that her sister Grace was very likely to never come back.

Because she was pregnant with Noel Jackson's child.

Although Mary vowed to return Grace, there would certainly be various twists and turns in the process.

After all, no one with any sense would give up such a valuable piece.

Catherine met with her ministers and convened the first high-level meeting of Blue Moon Territory.

She openly let Li En stand beside her, which also sent a signal to the ministers.

Good things are coming to the Blue Moon Territory and the Green Shade Territory, and perhaps they will become inseparable in the future.

The structure of the Blue Moon Territory is similar to that of the Green Shade Territory, and it also has a Minister of the Interior, a Minister of Foreign Affairs, and a Minister of Finance, all of whom are subordinates of the Jackson family.

Catherine made four main announcements.

The first was to announce his engagement with Li En. The two decided to get engaged as soon as possible and asked the ministers to set a specific time.

The second is to build a church of the Golden Goddess in the Blue Moon Territory to spread the name of the Golden Goddess Soraya.

The third is to hire mercenaries with a large sum of money to help guard the Blue Moon Territory, because Li En's army belongs to the Green Shade Territory after all and cannot be stationed in the Blue Moon Territory for a long time. The Blue Moon Territory does not have enough people and soldiers, which is not conducive to the subsequent war.

Fourth, the Blue Moon Territory welcomes new residents to enter the territory and absorbs wasteland wanderers and adventure groups. Anyone who is willing to become a resident of the Blue Moon Territory will be allocated houses and land free of charge.

The ministers mainly reported on four things.

First, the Blue Moon Territory needs to pay a witch protection tax to the kingdom in order to accept the protection of the guardian witches from the Guardian Bureau.

One of the reasons is that the previous guardian witch came from the church, not the Guardian Bureau.

In fact, the Jackson family's relationship with the Vatican has always been closer than their relationship with the king.

It's a pity that Catherine did not take over this relationship from her father. She used to be a body of misfortune, and no one in the church was willing to accept her. Now the Holy See is willing to help the Blue Moon Territory for the king's sake.

Catherine needed to establish new relationships, and the king might be easier to please than the church.

Second, Lor Jackson has many supporters. The Blue Moon Territory has never had a female lord before Catherine. The ministers are worried that this will affect Catherine's rule and suggest that Catherine exile Lor Jackson to a high tower and imprison him forever instead of in a church.

Third, after the Blue Moon Territory Witch Disaster, a large amount of vacant land and wealth appeared. I hope Catherine can redistribute these resources.

Fourth, Yusofa had been completely surrendered to the Rose Territory. Theoretically, Yusofa belonged to the Clichy family, which was a vassal of the Jackson family. Should Yusofa be recaptured? Of course, the ministers' opinion was not to resort to force, but rather to redeem him with money.

To address the first issue, Catherine decided to pay the witch protection tax in one lump sum.

This surprised Li En very much, because the Guardian Bureau asked for a huge amount of money, demanding 1 million gold in witch protection tax at one time. If it were the Green Shade Territory, it would probably have to bear a high debt and pay it in installments.

The Jackson family is indeed one of the richest families in the empire, and Catherine and Lor are the only two heirs. They have huge wealth and don’t even need to use the public account of Blue Moon Territory. They only need to take out money from Catherine’s private account to solve this problem.

For wealthy people, this is basically not a problem.

The reason for not bargaining with the Guardian Bureau was simply to give the king face and express gratitude for his support for Catherine in this incident.

Subsequently, Catherine rejected the proposal to send Lor Jackson to the Tower, and divided the vacant land and wealth into one-third to the existing noble vassals, one-third to the Jackson family, and the remaining one-third to attract wasteland wanderers and adventurers.

As for Yusof, he can negotiate with Mary first.

This series of actions allowed the ministers to see Catherine's political talent and dispelled some rumors that were unfavorable to Catherine.

Can a 16-year-old orphan of the Jackson family, who has lived in a high tower for a long time, has no education, no experience, and only has beauty and wealth, really be a good lord of the Blue Moon Territory?
Catherine gave them the answer during the high-level meeting on the first day.

She is not a vase that depends on men. She has her own decision-making and courage.

Although the meeting did not discuss many issues, it took up an entire day.

This is also the reason why Li En hates meetings.

He would rather leave these matters to his secretary.

It’s a pity that Catherine doesn’t have a secretary as beautiful and intelligent as herself.

Furthermore, Catherine was new to government affairs, so she needed to devote more time and energy to them. Furthermore, these were major events that would determine the future development of Blue Moon Territory, and it would be better for Catherine to decide on her own than for anyone else to do so.

Only the last question of the meeting remained unresolved.

Because no one in the Blue Moon Territory dared to go and negotiate with Mary. Not only was Catherine afraid of Mary, but none of the nobles and ministers dared to face the southern overlord directly.

Only then did Li En realize how rare it was to have a talent like Alex Poole, the Foreign Minister of Green Shade Territory.

Alex Poole deserves a medal of courage just for his performance at last night's banquet.

The Blue Moon Territory obviously does not have such a young minister with such courage and conviction.

But Li En will not take the initiative to participate in the affairs of the Blue Moon Territory. Military aid is just an agreement reached long ago, but if he interferes in internal affairs, it will seem that he is overreaching, and Catherine's already unstable position will be shaken again.

It would even make Catherine's subjects think that he wanted to annex the Blue Moon Territory by manipulating Catherine, and that he was an ambitious conspirator, a Phoenix Man.

But in fact, I didn’t have this idea at all.

Although the Blue Moon Mine in Blue Moon Territory is indeed coveted.

But isn’t what belongs to Catherine her own?

The next day, the negotiation with Yusof was still under discussion.

After several rounds of debate, the Foreign Minister Viscount Steele, who was in charge of foreign affairs, was finally put in charge of this matter.

Li En did not continue to accompany Catherine to the extremely boring meeting. He chose to cultivate a relationship with his brother-in-law and give him some psychological support. For example, when a person's aesthetic taste deviates, it may not be the person's fault, but the world's fault.

"Oh, really? You had a crush on Goblins for a while?"

Lor Jackson enjoyed chatting with Li En. They became close friends who could talk about anything after drinking together twice. The first time was at the inheritance lord dinner hosted by Catherine, and the second time was today.

But Lore Jackson was quite restrained today and didn't drink too much.

Being drunk really doesn't feel good. Lor Jackson still felt unwell the next day, which was the third day.

In fact, in Rose Territory, out of fear, he never dared to drink too much, and was even unwilling to touch the wine glass.

Only after returning to Blue Moon Territory did he dare to drink so recklessly.

He liked listening to Li En talk about experiences that were completely different from his own life, especially when Li En mentioned the goblins in the Golden Forest.

"Yes, though it was a short time, and was saved by the beautiful Catherine."

"I also hope to have such a novel experience as you."

Lol Jackson exclaimed.

"Hehe, you will have it."

Li En raised his glass.

Luo Er Jackson looked at Li En in surprise.

"What I mean is that the goblins of the Golden Forest are now vassals of the Green Shade Territory. They will also send representatives to attend Catherine and my engagement ceremony. You'll be able to see the Goblin Princess then. Aside from her blue skin, she's actually quite a beauty."

"I will keep this a secret from Catherine."

Luo Er Jackson showed an expression that every man knows.

"No, there's no need to keep it secret from Catherine. I have no secrets from Catherine. She knows everything about me and she trusts my character 100%."

Li En said very confidently.

The third person at the table scoffed at this.

Dora, a beautiful red-haired girl in a white dress, is also a little drunkard who likes to drink.

In order to help Catherine, Dora also mentioned the benefits of zombies to Noel Jackson, but unfortunately it had little effect.

Lor Jackson just thought that Miss Magic Box was a very strange person.

Who would want to be a zombie?
What's so good about zombies? You're clearly talking about bad things.

He even felt that although Miss Magic Box was beautiful, it was a bit out of place for her to drink with the two of them. He wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible, but he had no reasonable excuse.

"Ms. Magic Box, are you really Dora's twin sister?"

"Of course, don't we look alike?"

Dora asked Lol Jackson in return.

Noel Jackson had come into contact with the witch Dora before, although only a few times, but Dora and the magic box were indeed exactly the same.

In addition, only the lord, the Guardian Bureau, and the church's top leaders have the authority to know the information about the guardian witch, so when Dora suddenly had a twin sister, others really couldn't tell whether it was true or not.

"Yes, but I always thought witches were independent beings."

What Lol Jackson meant was that witches have no brothers or sisters.

"Besides, the name Magic Box is really weird."

In response to Lore Jackson's complaints, Dora turned her hateful gaze towards Li En.

“Some people don’t put any thought into naming.”

Li En coughed twice and said, "Brother Lor, can you be the officiant at Catherine and I's engagement ceremony?"

"I thought you would invite the high priest."

Lor believed that no one was more suitable than High Priest Cosem Pizarro.

Li En shook his head. "The High Priest will not attend our engagement ceremony. He will leave today and take the Blue Moon train back to the Imperial Capital."

"We're leaving today. Do we want the Knights of the Vatican to leave with us?"

Lor asked with some concern.

He didn't want these people from the Empire to leave so quickly. They obviously didn't want to get involved in the dispute.

"Yes, there are also imperial envoys. They are all leaving today. If we go there now, we can still send them to their cars in time."

Li En said indifferently.

He hadn't expected the people in the royal capital to be of any help, but the high priest had indeed helped a lot, and it wasn't appropriate for him to stay here any longer.

Li En couldn't come up with the right bargaining chips, and there was no beautiful virgin boy in the army that the high priest liked.

In addition, with the high priest here, he felt embarrassed to conduct cult sacrifices and could not communicate deeply with Jiari's [Eye of Doom], which was a bit of a hindrance.

The departure of the high priest is not a bad thing for Li En, nor is it a bad thing for the entire situation.

But Lor Jackson doesn't think so.

He believed that the reason why Mary restrained herself and did not launch a direct attack before was perhaps because she was afraid of the power of the Holy See and the King.

He didn't know that Mary was, in some ways, closer to the Vatican.

After all, Mary was the chosen one of the Tiger God.

　On the first day of September, please give me a guaranteed monthly ticket.
