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

Chapter 128 The Descendants of Moriah
Yusofa.

The residence of former Archon Krishi.

As the main characters appeared in the meeting room, the atmosphere gradually became serious.

Mary looked at Li En, trying to see through the secrets of Li En with her eyes that seemed to see through everything.

The last time she saw the Disease Witch Dora at the Blue Moon Territory's engagement party, she had already become suspicious.

After she returned to Yusofa, she immediately asked someone to check the files and find out Dora's identity.

There is no mention in any archive or record that Dora had a twin sister.

This confused Mary. If Dora hadn't died, and the current magic box was Dora, then were the High Priest and the Pole Star Knights bribed by Li En?
If Dora is dead, who is the Magic Box? Why is she exactly like Dora and has the same abilities?

Is there something wrong with the files, or is the problem with Li En?

Mary wants Nancy Scalia to investigate everything. If Lee En can really save the witch who is on the verge of losing control, then no matter what the cost, Mary will imprison Lee En by her side and make him her tool.

But she didn't know that her most proud Rose Thorn Deacon Nancy Scalia had betrayed her and became Lee En Moriah's person.

She was confident that everything was under control.

"Is Luo Er doing well in Blue Moon Territory?"

Mary picked up a cup of coffee brought by the waiter and asked tentatively.

"Oh, Blue Moon Territory is Luo'er's home. No place can surpass the warmth and comfort that home brings."

Li En did not directly answer Mary's question, but just evaded it casually.

Mary didn't get a satisfactory answer and glanced at the witch's box warily.

She didn't want the witch to bring the disease to Yusofa, where a third of her Rose Army was gathered, and the Witch of Disease was undoubtedly a threat.

Of course, she believed that the witch would not be so reckless. Unless she wanted to declare war on her directly, she should know how to restrain her behavior.

Li En was keenly aware of Mary's gaze, and he looked at Dora unhappily.
"Miss Magic Box, I have tolerated you for a long time. You can't be so unscrupulous just because you are the woman Catherine gave me. You attacked Nancy's knight and almost hurt Nancy. Now you want to share my favor with Nancy. You are such a greedy and self-righteous woman. I hope you will return to Blue Moon Territory now and leave my sight. I don't want to see you for the time being."

Dora was a smart woman and immediately caught the new "script" thrown by Li En.

"I will make you regret this. You will end up on your knees chasing me back because I will be the first woman to bear your child."

Dora pushed Nancy Stuart away and left the meeting room angrily.

Nancy Stuart had no expression on her face. She took note and said she would return it to Dora double later.

Mary signaled her men to keep an eye on the witch's movements to see if she had really left Yusofa.

Lee En broke up with Dora on the spot, expressing his appreciation for Nancy Scalia and his attitude towards the Rose Neck.

But Mary is a suspicious person, and she suspects that there is another ulterior motive behind Li En's actions.

It couldn't be that she drove away the Witch of Disease just to please herself and dispel the idea that the Witch would spread disease to her guards, right?

But soon, Mary got a reasonable explanation.

She saw the documents handed over by the foreign affairs officers, documents about Li En's inheritance of Chrissy's property.

Mary thought that Li En was deliberately trying to please her because he wanted to get half of Yusof's land.

This is indeed Chrissy's property, but how the inheritance rights of the property fall into Li En's hands requires some operations.

Mary had long been wary of Chrissy and had not allocated the granary area to him, so although the land area in the document was vast, it did not play a decisive role in Yusofa's situation.

The Rose Army can still rely on granaries for supplies.

Therefore, even if Mary admits that the document has legal effect, the loss is not unacceptable.

The premise is how much she values ​​Li En Moriah. This is a test and also a business deal.

"What do you think?"

Mary looked at the four foreign affairs ministers.

The four of them looked at each other, and seemed to have reached some kind of consensus in a short time. This was a tacit understanding they had developed from years of working together on foreign affairs. They wanted to have another heated discussion in front of Mary to show their value.

"I think this is a naked division of Yusofah. There is no one left in the Clichy family. This property should be returned to Yusofah and belong to the next Yusofah governor, not to someone who has no blood relationship with the Clichy family."

"Yes, the wealth and land in this document is equivalent to half of Yusofar. Even if the Rose Territory is generous, it must consider the nobles and people of Yusofar. They will feel that they have been invaded and their territory has been divided up."

"You're wrong. Yusofa now belongs to Rose Territory. Only Lady Mary has the right to dispose of her property. No one can take Lady Mary's property away. Otherwise, why would Blue Moon Territory send envoys to negotiate? Why would they redeem it from us at such a high price?"

The elderly foreign affairs officer also changed his previous attitude and said in an unquestionable tone, "On behalf of the Yuso people, we reject this document. This is a conspiracy by the Blue Moon Territory. They don't want to pay too much ransom, so they are doing this. I highly doubt the authenticity of this document."

Alex Poole immediately retorted to the four men's remarks, "The Holy Empire is an indivisible entity. Yusofa is merely a county within the empire. How could the transfer of power involve aggression? Are you attempting to divide the Holy Empire?"
"Is it that Yusofa is unwilling, or are you unwilling to abide by the laws of the Empire and recognize the legitimacy of the document? The document is stamped with the joint seal of Blue Moon Territory and Yusofa. If you don't recognize the legitimacy of Blue Moon Territory, why are you continuing to discuss Yusofa's redemption with Blue Moon Territory?

"As for the fabrication of the document, it is even more impossible. You are doubting the character of Lord Li En. This is an insult to the entire Moria family."

The two sides began a heated argument. In front of Mary, the four foreign affairs officers were obviously more confident and almost wanted to drown Alex Poole with their saliva. Alex Poole was not to be outdone. In the end, people on both sides began to curse each other and said all kinds of unpleasant words.

Mary and Li En remained silent and savored their coffee. Although they did not make eye contact during this period, it was obvious that they were venting their emotions through the foreign affairs officer.

The first round of verbal battle ended when both sides were red in the face.

Mary then said slowly,
"Don't embarrass Lord Li En of Green Shade Territory. He doesn't represent Blue Moon Territory right now, he only represents himself. For the sake of the Moriah Family and the Creed Family, we must also give Lord Li En enough respect."

The four Rose Territory diplomats heard Mary's words and discussed it in a low voice. They elected the oldest minister as their representative and summarized on their behalf.
"We absolutely have no intention of targeting Lord Li En. We simply believe that this document is missing an important seal before it becomes legally binding." "Oh?"

Mary raised her eyebrows slightly.

The minister continued, "Yusofa is already Lady Mary's property and legally belongs to the Rose Territory. Therefore, for this document to be valid, it must be stamped with the Rose Territory's seal."

"I want to inherit my uncle's property, but I still need the seal of Rose Collar?"

Li En held his chin with one hand and glanced at the wrinkled face of the Minister of Foreign Affairs with displeasure.

For some reason, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, who had experienced countless storms, suddenly felt as if he was being stared at by a wild beast, and a chill ran down his spine.

Mary smiled slightly. "Krissy was once my vassal. He betrayed me, and I killed all his relatives as punishment. However, I did give him these lands, and I didn't take them back in time. Legally, these properties belong to you, Li En Moriah. I will stamp them for you."

Li En had guessed this result a long time ago, and the previous discussion among the ministers was just for his own benefit.

They played the bad guy on Mary's behalf, and Mary played the good guy, and then Li En had to be grateful to Mary.

Although the foreign affairs officials were afraid of offending Li En, they were more afraid of angering Mary. As long as the result was beneficial to Li En, Li En would not care about their rude words, because they had been targeting the Blue Moon Territory from the beginning to the end.

Of course, Mary might have some additional conditions and would not give up the fat piece of meat of Yusof so easily.

For example, withdrawing himself from the negotiations on Yusof.

"Thank you for your generosity, Lady Mary. I believe Uncle Chrissy was confused for a moment and betrayed you. He has paid the price he deserves."

Li En said with regret, in order to prevent Mary from saying the second half of the sentence that would be detrimental to him, he put his arm around Nancy Stuart's slender waist.
"I know you like Youssoufa, but I don't like this place at all. If it weren't for my uncle's last wish, I really wouldn't want to come here. How about I give this place to you, my Miss Nancy?"

Giving land and wealth to mistresses was common in aristocratic circles, but even the four diplomatic officials found it rare to see someone as generous as Li En.

There was a look of surprise on their faces.

Alex Poole covered his forehead with one hand, showing an extreme headache.

It seemed that following such a spendthrift Moria was making him very distressed.

Nancy Stuart looked at Mary, and Mary had a playful look in her eyes.

It's like the bait you threw out caught a big fish.

Nancy Stuart kissed Li En on the cheek and said softly, "Thank you, Master Li En. No one has ever been so generous to me."

Anne had a blank expression on her face, but her inner thoughts were rich. She had already fantasized about sending Nancy Stuart and Mary to the guillotine. These two women had been her nightmares. Until Lee En appeared, she had thought that the psychological shadows they left on her would eventually be blown away by time, but she did not expect that Nancy Stuart's ghost would linger and would haunt Lee En in the future.

In order to prevent Mary from recognizing her, she disguised herself today, wearing the same resin mask that Nancy Stuart wore.

This mask can easily adjust appearance, allowing spies to better hide.

Nancy Stuart also knew that Li En's secret could not be exposed through Anne.

Dora can appear without disguise because basically no one in this world can be a match for a witch. To catch a mature witch, one must be a legendary knight.

But catching a four-star assassin like Anne is a very simple task, especially for Mary, who is full of talents.

Nancy Stuart's rebellion does not represent the rebellion of the entire Rose Thorns.

Unless Li En can clear the entries of the Heartless from them all and ensure that they will not live in the nightmare of Mary's rule in the future, and find a way out for these spies and assassins.

In fact, some of them are so loyal to Mary that they are perverted, and are willing to become Heartless because Heartless have the attribute of immortality and can also bring bonuses of strength.

Not everyone can be conquered.

Therefore, Nancy Stuart had to keep the secret for Li En, as well as for herself.

Originally, Mary did intend to have Li En withdraw from the negotiations between Blue Moon Territory and Rose Territory, but now it seems that letting Li En negotiate might be more beneficial to Rose Territory because he has been completely conquered by Nancy's beauty.

She was very satisfied with Li En's act of giving Yusofa's wealth and land to his mistress. This proved that Li En did not abandon the tradition of the Moria family and was always very generous to his mistress.

Moreover, she believed that giving this part of the land to Nancy Stuart was equivalent to keeping it in her hands, and she also did Lee En Moriah a favor. This was a win-win situation for her, and she won twice.

"Nancy, your luck is truly enviable. As your master, I am very pleased, but I cannot let you leave because you are indispensable to me. So, Lord Li En, I hope you can stay in Yusofa for a while longer and sincerely invite you to visit Rose Territory."

Mary said with a smile.

Mary's meaning is very clear. Although Nancy Stuart is your mistress, she is also my maid. It is impossible to take her away from me, but you can choose to surrender to the Rose Territory or stay in Yusofa for a long time as an ally.

As long as Lee En did this, then Nancy Stuart would be Mary's gift to Lee En.

"I'd love to live here with my Nancy for a while."

Li En responded with a smile, saying that he was willing to reach a compromise and let the negotiations between Blue Moon Territory and Rose Territory come to a stalemate or even be stranded.

This is exactly what Mary wanted to see. She didn't care how much money Catherine gave her. She was unwilling to give up Yusofa no matter how much money she gave, because this was a springboard for attacking the Blue Moon Territory. At the same time, she wanted to paralyze Catherine to prevent her from recruiting troops in a period of time, or asking the Simmons family for help, adding new variables to Mary's plan.

As a result, the issue of redeeming "Yusofa" was tacitly shelved by both parties.

At the same time, Li En also gave Mary an accurate piece of news, that is, Luo Er Jackson was indeed not dead, but he didn't know why he was not dead.

Later, Mary asked Nancy Stuart to take Li En to visit his property, which theoretically had become Nancy Stuart's property.

The two went boating on Lake Yusofa, visited the estate's horse farm, and even went into a pastry shop owned by Li En.

In order to make Mary believe that he was such a lustful descendant of Moria, he drove out all the men in the pastry shop that night and invited all the girls to a party together.
