Chapter 119 Historical Marriage and Family Alliance

After leaving the Blue Moon Territory, Mary retreated to Yusofa, which had been completely occupied by the Rose Army.

After a series of operations such as the push and massacre, Youssoufa has now become the base of the Rose Army. Apart from the Rose Army, there are only some surviving nobles, vendors, snack shops and a large number of orphans left here.

The reason why Mary did not kill these people was entirely because a large number of troops required a lot of consumption, and she needed to be supplied on the spot. As for the snack shop, it was one of the few pleasures for the guards.

These poor craftsmen are more valuable alive than dead.

But being alive doesn't mean they are lucky.

The entire Yusofa was shrouded in a high-pressure gloom, as if war would break out at any time.

The nobles had to obey Mary and provide financial support. The merchants also had a hard time. They had to provide food, water and daily necessities free of charge as long as the Rose Army needed them.

The girls working in the dim sum shops do not get the income they deserve and have to work overtime 24 hours a day.

People die every day.

Moreover, the Rose Army continues to enter Yusofa from the Rose Territory.

Mr. Yousso lives in fear at all times.

The nobles wanted to escape from here all the time, but the Rose Army blocked all routes out of the city.

There is no longer the laughter and joy of the past on the streets, and the innocence has been lost on the children's faces, leaving only fear.

Mary did not kill these children, but she took their hearts and set up concentration camps to train them to become new Heartless assassins and spies.

This is also Mary's usual style. She never kills children when she massacres the city. Even if these children may be full of hatred for her when they grow up, she doesn't care.

Because she always felt that children were the hope of the future, and whoever controlled these children controlled the future.

And she has the Ripper, holding the hearts of these people, so she can't let them betray her.

Their hatred will eventually turn into obedience because they are powerless, and they may even be more obedient than others.

Slaves should be trained from a young age.

In such a depressing atmosphere, Yusof finally received the only good news.

Catherine, the new lord of Blue Moon Territory, sent envoys to negotiate with Yusofa, hoping to redeem Yusofa with money.

As everyone knows, the Jackson family is one of the richest families in the empire. When Catherine's father was in power, the Blue Moon Territory was known as the Pearl of the South, meaning it was the most economically powerful territory among the many territories in the south.

The Blue Moon Territory possesses the richest Blue Moon Mine in the empire. Endless mineral veins are hidden among those mountains, which are the greatest symbol of wealth.

Although the Blue Moon Territory Witch Disaster took away countless lives, it did not take away any wealth.

Instead, wealth was concentrated in Catherine's hands.

Her wealth is now immeasurable.

If Noel Jackson had not divided the wealth with her, she might have already topped the list of the richest women in the empire, and even now, her name would be among the top 50 richest people.

If Catherine was really willing to pay to redeem Yusof, Yusof's nobles and citizens would be grateful to her and declare their allegiance from then on.

So, when Mary saw the negotiation documents sent to her, a playful expression appeared on her face.

"Lady Mary, it seems that Catherine wants to do something."

said Nancy Scalia, the head maid.

"Oh, she actually wants to use my money to redeem my land. How ridiculous."

Mary had already considered the Blue Moon Territory as hers, and she had no intention of giving up Yusofa.

"Indeed, it seems she hasn't seen the situation clearly. We will make her see it clearly."

"It's such a pity that I couldn't enter the Blue Moon Territory with Lady Mary. Legend has it that Katherine Rochelle Hernandez Mehliban Jackson was a disfigured woman. Perhaps her brain was just as dysfunctional as her face."

"Hahaha, who says it isn't? Can't she see what our Lady Mary wants?"

"If I were her, I would immediately submit to Lady Mary and offer her all my wealth and heart to save my life."

Mary's subordinates and generals joined in the laughter, like a group of bandits plotting to seize other people's property.

Mary held her chin with one hand and placed the document on the table.

"Actually, Katherine isn't disfigured. She looks even more beautiful than your favorite stripper."

Hearing her words, the generals became even more excited.

"Is she really that beautiful? Then can I marry her? If I become her husband, Lady Mary can possess all the wealth of Blue Moon Territory, and I only want her body."

said the lascivious Secretary of War, Sting Little.

He also had the title of Viscount and was considered a respectable nobleman. His achievements did not rely on his father, but basically on battles.

But his only shortcoming was that he was too lustful. If he had not chosen the path of chivalry, he would have died in a woman's belly long ago.

Mary never treats her subordinates harshly. She said with a smile,

"If you dare to challenge the Lord of Green Shade Territory, Li En Moria, his grandfather, the Prime Minister of the Empire, Grand Duke Li En Moria, and the Moria Creed Family behind him, then I support you."

"What? That Lee En Moriah from Green Shade Territory? How could he possibly get the approval of Grand Duke Moriah? Grand Duke Moriah once publicly accused Jack Moriah of being unworthy of being his son. Jack Moriah and the Moriah family have since drawn a clear line and severed ties. Now, his illegitimate son is even less likely to get the approval of Grand Duke Moriah."

Sting Little said with great certainty,
"So, he is just bluffing. It is impossible for the Creed Family and Grand Duke Moria to recognize him."

"hehe."

Mary sneered twice, "Do you know why Jack Moriah and Grand Duke Moriah had such an unpleasant quarrel?"

"why?"

Sting Little asked.

Everyone also looked at Mary curiously.

Nancy Scalia poured Mary a glass of rich red wine.

Mary raised her goblet and looked at her head maid, Nancy Scalia.

Nancy Scalia said slowly,

"Grand Duke Moria asked Jack Moria to marry Marquis Jackson's second daughter, Megawati Jackson. Jack Moria ran away from the marriage, and the Moria family and the Jackson family became estranged. This is the fundamental reason why Grand Duke Moria drew a line between him and Jack Moria. Now, Li En Moria is going to marry Catherine, the only remaining woman in the Jackson family. By completing this historic marriage, Grand Duke Moria and the entire Moria family will benefit. They have no reason to refuse to support Li En Moria."

"Megawati Jackson? She's the famous richest ugliest woman. No wonder Jack Moriah ran away from his marriage. I wouldn't want to do that either."

Sting Little's focus is different from others.

But he also understood that there was a high probability that he would not be able to marry Catherine.

Li En Moriah's family power was truly terrifying. Mary had never imagined that the Moriah family would take advantage of the opportunity to intervene and try to divide her interests.

But even though she knew it now, she was not afraid.

The Moria family's power is in the north. Grand Duke Moria is the Prime Minister of the Empire. Grand Duke Moria's eldest son, Bell Moria, is known as the Shield of the North and has been responsible for guarding the northern border of the empire. The Moria family's army is known as the most powerful barrier in the empire, guarding the highest walls in the empire and resisting the many monsters and alien races in the north. They enjoy honor, but are also shackled by honor. They will not easily set foot in the royal capital in the central area of ​​the Holy Empire, let alone pass through the royal capital to the south.

If the Moria family's army appears in the south, it can only mean that the Moria family has rebelled.

Grand Duke Moria would not allow this to happen. He was both the Prime Minister of the Empire and a hostage left with Auguras.

Therefore, Li En may have the support of the Creed family, but the Creed family will never act rashly to divide the fertile land in the south.

The Blue Moon Territory is still in Mary's pocket.

Unless Grand Duke Moria wants to offend Augulas.

Augulas agreed to the marriage between Li En and Catherine, which was also a test for Grand Duke Moria.

Even if Grand Duke Moria hopes that the Moria family will marry into the Southern family, he cannot go too far.

He could only watch and could not intervene directly.

Otherwise, the suspicious Auglas would have to come up with new ideas.

"Lady Mary, should we negotiate with Catherine's people?"

The Foreign Minister inquired.

Mary shook the goblet in her hand.
"Of course, this is a necessary disguise. You just need to keep increasing the stakes and delaying the situation. Soon we'll hear good news from Blue Moon Territory."

The Foreign Minister nodded, indicating that he knew what to do.

"Is Grace really going to be sent back to Blue Moon Territory?"

Mary's mouth corners rose slightly. "If Grace wants to go back, we can send her back. If she doesn't want to, there's nothing we can do."

"Grace won't want to go back. She'll never forgive Noel Jackson for abandoning her."

Nancy Scalia said.

"Can you give me Grace? She's my type."

Sting Little said excitedly.

Mary gave him a cold look that extinguished all his enthusiasm.

"Sting Little, if you want to keep that head on your neck, stop dwelling on that kind of stuff."

"I'm...I'm sorry, Lady Mary."

……

Blue Moon Collar.

Blue Moon Castle.

In the gorgeous lord's bedroom, Li En was lying on a luxurious sofa chair that was as comfortable as a modern lazy sofa, looking at the various response posts sent by the maid Mina.

Nobles would send out invitations to important banquets, and some sophisticated families would return response notes to show respect for the inviter.

The response post in Li En's hand came from the Prime Minister of the Empire, Ryan Moriah.

The response post mentioned the previous engagement between Jack Moriah and Megawati Jackson, and expressed his relief that Lee En was able to marry Catherine. He promised that as long as Lee En married Catherine, he would be able to return to the Moriah family, and said that he would personally attend his and Catherine's engagement ceremony.

This surprised Li En very much. He had only invited the Prime Minister of the Empire tentatively and thought that he would be ignored or directly rejected. However, he could still tell all the guests with confidence that his grandfather, the Grand Duke, was unable to attend due to official duties. But now, he wanted to attend in person. What was the situation?
He looked at his exhausted fiancée beside him.

“Catherine, when you asked me for help, was it because the Jackson family and the Moria family had an old marriage?”

"Yes, I was thinking that if you couldn't accept me, I might be able to convince you with this reason, but it turns out that I didn't need to give this reason."

Katherine said honestly.

Yes, the Blue Moon Mine and you are enough to attract me.

As for returning to the Moria family, Li En had never thought about it.

Grand Duke Moria has a bad reputation. Besides being as romantic as Lao Deng, he is also very strong-willed and looks down on illegitimate children.

Lao Deng has tried hard enough, but still cannot catch the eye of Grand Duke Moria.

Li En thought that compared to the man who built the Green Shade Territory, he, an outsider who enjoyed the protection of the Territory, did not have such great and outstanding achievements.

Now that Grand Duke Moria has taken a fancy to me, could it be that he is also after the Blue Moon Mine?
"Catherine, besides sending the invitation to Grand Duke Moria, who else did you send it to?"

"I'm not responsible for this. You should ask Mina."

Catherine rubbed her brows. She had been overworked recently.

During the day, I have to think about how to handle government affairs, and at night I am harassed by Li En.

Mina saluted Li En respectfully and said in a low voice,
"Because you said before that you are a new generation that the Creed Family values, I also sent an invitation letter to the Creed Family."

Li En narrowed his eyes.

This Mina guy, I thought she was well-behaved before, but I didn't expect her to make trouble in such a matter. Is she deliberately trying to make a fool of herself?
How could the Creed family recognize him, Lee En Moriah?

However, even if no one in the Creed family replied, as long as Grand Duke Moria was present in person, it would be enough to prove that what Li En had said before was true.

What Li En was worried about was that someone would let it slip that he had adopted an adopted son for Fair Moria for no reason.

Krishi's reputation is not very good. It is not an exaggeration to describe him as a traitor. After his death, he portrayed himself as a righteous heroic uncle and the "son" of Grand Duke Moria. I am afraid that only Li En can do such a thing.

"Forget it, leave them alone, they definitely won't come."

Li En waved his hand, not caring about Mina's scheming over such a trivial matter.

"In fact, the Simmons family has replied, expressing their intention to attend your engagement ceremony with Lady Catherine."

The Simmons family is a middle-class family among the seven creed families and is also located in the south.

If Mary is the overlord of the South, then the Simmons family is the shield of the South. They are as powerful as the Moria family and are loyal to the empire.

The Simmons family is the only force in the South that can hold Mary in check.

The reason why Mary hasn't taken action against the Simmons family yet is because she still wants to hide her ambitions.

Once she takes action against the Simmons family, it means she will take action against Auglas.

The Creed Family's status in the Holy Empire is so transcendent because they guard the various fortresses of the Holy Empire, and they do so with manpower, which is different from the protection of witches.
