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

Chapter 121: Dorothy Hall, the Witch of the Imperial Rose Tower

Blue Moon Collar.

Church of the Golden Goddess.

Many nobles from the Blue Moon Territory and the Green Shade Territory gathered in the church, and even some commoners squeezed in.

They all wanted to witness the engagement of the century.

But the truly powerful nobles did not appear here. They could not accept the Golden Goddess's statement. They believed in the only god in the world, Tiger, and had close ties with the Church. They were unwilling to take a step that went against God's will.

So, they were invited into Blue Moon Castle.

Blue Moon Castle is also where the engagement ceremony finally takes place.

Li Enhui and Catherine will take an oath in the church of the Golden Goddess, and then bring everyone back to Blue Moon Castle to celebrate.

However, when Li En and Catherine were taking their oaths, they encountered unexpected opposition.

The opponents were none other than the knights from the Moria family in the Green Shade Territory.

The knight handed Jack Moriah's handwritten letter to Li En in a dusty manner.

Catherine stood there in a daze, suddenly not knowing what to do.

It was her first time being engaged and the first time she had encountered such a thing.

I thought everything would be perfect, but I didn't expect Jack Moriah to oppose this marriage.

Dora rushed to Catherine's side immediately and said, "Catherine, don't worry. Even if Li En doesn't marry you, your alliance will not be broken. He will help you get revenge."

Catherine looked at Dora helplessly. Dora would never understand that this was more than just revenge.

Mina wished she was the one standing next to Catherine at this moment, but Dora was the witch of disease and she couldn't squeeze through at all.

Li En opened the letter with gritted teeth. He was really afraid that Moriah would write in the letter that Catherine was his half-sister and that the two of them could not be together. This would undoubtedly be a tragedy more tragic than Hamlet.

[My dear son, Li En Moriah, I heard that you are getting engaged to the orphan of Blue Moon Territory. This is definitely not good news. She will bring disaster to you. You must stay away from her, just like I stayed away from her aunt Megawati Jackson.

I need to tell you a secret. Although I, Jack Moriah, am also an illegitimate child of the Moriah family, my father did not look down on me because of this. I had a happy childhood until the Moriah family wanted to marry the Jackson family.

That was one of the few wrong decisions my father made. I couldn't accept marrying Megawati Jackson, not because she was ugly. In fact, she was quite beautiful. The rumor of her ugliness was just an excuse she spread to avoid marrying me. I once secretly climbed to her windowsill to take a look at her. I also concealed my identity and had a romantic encounter with her, but I still couldn't marry her because this marriage would not bring the Moria family to a higher level, and it would even bring disaster to the Jackson family, which was already coveted.

Augras will not allow the Northern Shield to interfere in the affairs of the South. My father should have known this a long time ago, but I don't know why he insisted on doing so. I rejected the marriage and personally made the relationship between the Moria family and the Jackson family very stiff. I got Megawati Jackson pregnant and abandoned her. This is not a glorious thing, but it doesn't matter if I tell you. Your moral bottom line is as flexible as mine.

The Moriah family is known as the Shield of the North and is powerful in the north, but they cannot leave the northern border. This is not only to defend against the northern beasts, but also for fear of arousing the king's fear. Just like the Simmons family guarding the south, all creed families must abide by the rules to avoid bringing about a catastrophic disaster.

Perhaps his father was old and he didn't want to stay with Augustus anymore, or perhaps he had new ambitions and wanted to control the Jackson family, the lifeline of wealth in the south. But whoever controlled the Jackson family would become a thorn in the eyes of King Augustus.

Augulas's agreement to your engagement with Catherine is by no means a true agreement, but just a test of the Moria family.

Although we have left the Moria family, the blood of the Moria family is still flowing in our bodies. I don't want the family to decline because of marriage.

My father probably wants to take advantage of Augras's expedition against the Azure Dragon Court to stir up trouble, but no matter what he wants to do, I don't want you to get involved.

Our branch of Moria has long drawn a clear line between ourselves and the real Moria. Even if something really happens to my father, as long as you stay in Green Shade Territory, you will not be implicated.

Unless your life is in danger, do not seek help from my father, Grand Duke Moria, or attempt to establish contact with him.

It's not that I don't believe in my father's ability, but a king who controls two gifts is definitely not easy to deal with.

Likewise, I don't want you to argue with Mary. Your current strength is not enough to challenge the authority of the Southern Overlord.

The Moriah family cannot declare war on the Frank family, which will lead to an inevitable war.

And in war, death is inevitable.

You may not have experienced war, which is more terrifying than a monster invasion and will cause more death and tragedy.

Well, the above reasons are all secondary reasons that sound reasonable.

The real reason is that I have held the gift of the Eye of the Future for too long.

Our descendants are all cursed. Children born to ordinary people are destined to become sacrifices to the Eye of the Future and are unlikely to live to adulthood.

If you don't want to endure such a tragedy, don't marry an orphan of the Jackson family.

I have chosen a more suitable bride for you. Only she can give birth to your child and ensure that the child will not be affected by the Eye of the Future.

You must be curious about who she is.

Okay, I won’t keep you in suspense.

She is Dorothy Hall, the Tower Witch known as the Imperial Rose.

Although she is a witch, her father is one of the most powerful earls in the empire, Earl Hall.

Oh, you are an outsider and may not know the characteristics of the Hall family. To describe it in one word, they are rich enough to rival a country.

The Hall family is also a loyal supporter of Auguras. They are the only creed family that remains in the royal capital.

She is of noble status and belongs neither to the Holy See nor to the Guardian Bureau.

The tower where she lives was built by the Hall family themselves to make her less special.

The Empire does not allow witches to marry, but she is the only exception.

70% of the young nobles in the empire have fought duels for her, hoping to win her smile.

You may think that she is so outstanding that she is out of our reach.

But I am confident that I can please women better than 70% of the young nobles in the empire, and I will convince her to become your fiancée.

So, please don't get engaged to Catherine in private before I succeed. I know she must be a good girl, but she is really not suitable for you.

Unless you want her to live in the shadow of being childless forever.

I need to tell you another secret. Most insecure women hope to use children to keep their husbands' hearts, especially since you are from the Moria family.

Finally, I hope you can return to Greenshade Territory as soon as possible, avoid conflict with Mary Frank, and don't let her target you. Her terror is beyond your imagination.]
After reading the letter, Li En felt relieved.

Fortunately, Catherine is not his half-sister, otherwise this would be a taboo nightmare.

It sounds like the Tower Witch Dorothy Hall is indeed very outstanding and one of the most beautiful women in the empire, but what does she have to do with him?
Does Lao Deng really see himself as a superficial person who only cares about wealth and appearance?

Moreover, he had offended Mary Frank and had already contacted Grand Duke Moria. Basically, everything that Lao Deng worried about had happened.

Li En folded the letter carefully and put it in his pocket.

Catherine was worried and looked at her fiancé nervously.

She worried that she would be the second person in the Jackson family ever to be abandoned at an engagement ceremony.

The first was her poor aunt Megawati Jackson, whom she had never met. It is said that this aunt later died of depression due to excessive grief.

Seeing Li En carefully put away the letter, the knight who delivered the letter breathed a sigh of relief.
"I have finally completed the task assigned by Lord Moria. I think I need to take a good rest."

Li En turned around, looked at Catherine, and said gently,
"Don't worry, my father sent us his sincerest wishes in the letter. He hopes we have a happy wedding and was just joking with us."

Catherine was surprised and happy, and her heart finally settled down.

"That's great, thank you, Master Moria."

"Uh, wait, that's not it."

The messenger knight wanted to explain something, but was taken away by Cobb, who had a scar on his face. "You need to rest. Let's go and rest."

The engagement ceremony continued.

Li En had already made the decision and it was impossible for him to change it just because of a letter from Lao Deng.

Because he had promised Catherine long ago that he would fight alongside her, how could he possibly run away now?
The two completed the oath-taking ceremony, got back on the float, and returned to Blue Moon Castle.

The distinguished guests from Blue Moon Castle had already arrived.

Grand Duke Moria did not attend in person, but he sent his second son George Moria to congratulate Li En.

George Moriah is a middle-aged blond-haired man who looks about 50% similar to Li En. He is tall and wears a decent aristocratic suit. His demeanor is full of aristocratic and gentlemanly grace.

It looks about 70% similar to the old golden retriever, worthy of being the bloodline of the Moria family.

"Father couldn't come because of something, but he hoped you didn't mind. I brought him compensation."

George Moria said with a smile, he clapped his hands, and the waiters brought up a huge box.

The box was opened, and inside was a nine-tailed monster with a snow-white body.

"This is a rare and exotic beast cub, a nine-tailed one, captured in the north. I'm giving it to you as an engagement gift."

The Nine-Tailed Fox bared its teeth at Li En in the cage, as if it wanted to rush out and bite his head.

Li En suddenly felt that he needed a tamer entry. If this guy could be tamed and used as a mount, wouldn't it be much cooler than a magic carriage?
The North is really a good place.

"Thank you, Uncle George."

Li En said with a smile.

George Moria nodded with satisfaction.

He had seen many illegitimate children of the Moria family, but none of them had the calm demeanor of Li En. Even when he met the Moria family, he did not show any humility or flattery. He was a man who exuded charm.

"Don't worry, there is more."

George Moriah's waiter brought another exquisite box.

When the box was opened, a sword inlaid with countless gems but extremely sharp was revealed.

"This is the knight's sword my father once used. It's called Enzo. It can cut through iron like mud. It has accompanied my father on 23 battlefields. It is a true sword of the brave. I hope you like it."

"I really like it."

Li En's eyes lit up. All he needed now was a weapon.

This sword fully meets his requirements in terms of both appearance and practicality.

Although he had thought about making one himself, he lacked the precious materials.

Perhaps I could use this sword as material to create a brand new Xuezou.

Of course, this might make Grand Duke Moria feel distressed for a while.

Li En waved Enzo around and felt it was very comfortable to use, so he decided not to rebuild it for the time being.

"Lord Catherine, Lord Li En, the Simmons family sends their sincerest blessings, an excellent knight group, and 1000 giant slaves."

On behalf of the Simmons family, Val Simmons sent a 200-man knight group. Although the quality of this knight group was not as good as the knight group that King Augustus Frank gave to Catherine, it had more people and each one was an elite, which was enough to guard Blue Moon Castle.

Of course, the most precious things are the 1000 giant slaves.

The Southern Shield is responsible for guarding the high walls of the southern border, where the giants living are the nemesis of humans and hope to feed on humans.

But the nobles also like to raise young giant slaves, not only to show off their status, but also to turn them into a force that cannot be underestimated.

"These 1000 giant slaves are all young slaves, tamed and can be used with confidence. They are a token of our appreciation from the Simmons family."

"Thank you, Lord Val."

Li En and Catherine also thanked Val Simmons.

Compared to Val Simmons's generosity, George Moria seems a little stingy.

So he added the gift list privately, "Li En, uncle is going to give you the Maldan Castle in the northern border. You are welcome to take your wife to the northern border for vacation in the summer."

"Thank you, Uncle George."

Li En said politely that he didn't know the value of Maldan Castle.

But judging from the surprised expressions of the surrounding nobles, this castle could probably be sold for quite a bit of money.

Compared to the gifts from the two Creed families, the precious collections, land and money presented by other nobles seemed insignificant.

They had no way to compare with the Creed family and could only watch silently, feeling both envious and jealous.

The engagement party officially began, melodious and cheerful music sounded, and everyone stepped onto the dance floor.

Catherine changed into a lighter dress and danced with Li En.

Only then did Catherine have the opportunity to ask Li En,

"Does Lord Moria really agree to our engagement?"

"No, he doesn't agree. He listed many negative consequences of marrying you, but I don't care. As long as I can marry you, I won't be afraid even if it's a flood."

Li En held his wife's slender waist and spun around with Catherine, his steps light and natural. He was already used to this strange circle dance.

Catherine was both lost and moved. "I want to thank the God of Tiger for giving you to me."

"Catherine, there is something I must tell you. You must be mentally prepared."

"As long as we can still be together, I can accept anything."
