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

Chapter 139 Witch Empire
The third round of negotiations between Rose Territory and Blue Moon Territory regarding the Yusof Law has begun.

Although Li En still represented the Blue Moon Territory, he proposed a proposal for the Green Shade Territory to purchase Yusofa, and it was approved by the four foreign affairs officers of the Rose Territory.

The two sides negotiated a very low price to sell Yusof.

The whole process went very smoothly. There were no fierce arguments or aggressive bargaining. Everything seemed like a formality.

The only thing Mary did not give to Li En was Yusofa's large granary.

Because this is the key to military supplies, and it is not in the heart of Yusofa, bordering Holloway, it was directly assigned to Holloway by Mary, and Holloway was completely under Mary's control.

Li En had anticipated this, but he could not ask for too much. Being able to buy half of Yusofa's territory with 100 million gold was already a huge bargain, and this was also thanks to his selling his body and seducing Mary.

You know, Mary's foreign affairs negotiation team had made a huge demand before, wanting to ask for 100 billion gold from the Blue Moon Territory!

The gap between 100 billion and 100 million is extremely large.

Even Li En, the lord of a poor county, could come up with 100 million gold coins by squeezing his pockets.

This is definitely a business that is sure to make money.

Although half of the land belonged to Li En's inheritance, the most valuable granary was also allocated to Holloway.

After learning that Yusofa had changed his master, the nobles of Yusofa also learned about Li En's character from his mistresses and began to be interested in contacting Li En.

Unfortunately, the next day, Li En announced that he would give Yusof to his mistress Nancy Stuart.

In a short time, Nancy Stuart's name became famous throughout the mistress circle.

Her reputation spread from the Blue Moon Territory to the imperial capital of the Holy Kingdom.

Even King Augustus Frank heard the name of Nancy Stuart.

Nancy Stuart was even awarded the title of the most beautiful woman in the South. Lien Moriah spent a fortune on her and even bought the entire Yusofa as a gift. The news spread throughout the aristocratic circle.

Catherine, Lee En Moria's fiancée who lives in the Blue Moon Territory, is teased by the empire's nobles as the most aggrieved fiancée.

The nobles of the Blue Moon Territory were also discussing this matter in private, and the ministers once again angrily asked Catherine to hold an emergency meeting to discuss the issue of Yusofa.

"Lady Catherine, Lord Li En has clearly betrayed us. He took Yusofa for himself and gave her to his mistress. This has brought shame upon you and the entire Blue Moon Territory."

The Home Secretary said excitedly.

"Yes, Lord Li En had already negotiated the ransom for one million, but he bypassed Blue Moon Territory and went directly to Green Shade Territory to purchase him. This is simply shameless! He even gave Yusofa to Mary's head maid. This means that Yusofa is still in Mary's hands, but Blue Moon Territory has lost the right to redeem him."

"Lord Catherine, I've said it before, a man's heart isn't so easy to control, especially a man from the Moria family. You can never trust his loyalty. You should have listened to my advice long ago and sent the most beautiful girl in Blue Moon Territory to Lord Li En to keep his heart."

"This time, not only did we lose Yusofa, but we became the laughing stock of the various lords. Do you know what the Imperial Times wrote about us? Those shitty critics thought we were spineless descendants of the Blue Moon Lords."

The ministers were arguing with each other, which gave Catherine a headache.

Catherine sat at the top. Recent government affairs had consumed a lot of her energy, and the rumors coming from all sides made her even more exhausted.

Mina brought Catherine a cup of coffee. She had been staying up all night to handle government affairs recently and her face did not look good.

If it weren't for the coffee, she would probably be asleep by now.

Catherine knew that she still had a lot to learn. She hoped to make up for these shortcomings with her diligence, and also hoped to settle down the Blue Moon Territory as soon as possible. Compared with these, she thought that Li En having a mistress was a trivial matter.

Because, from the beginning, she never thought of asking Li En to be faithful to her.

What's more, Li En did this for her.

Only by gaining Mary's trust could Li En buy Yusof at such a cheap price, and by putting Yusof under the name of his mistress, he could create the illusion that there was a rift between them.

Even though she didn't know Li En's plan, they understood each other and she could always make the right decision.

Catherine took a sip of coffee, and her tiredness eased a little.

"What do you want me to do?"

Catherine looked at the ministers.

The ministers stopped their heated discussions and arguments and fell silent.

Their silence also means that they are powerless to do anything about it. In fact, they are indeed a group of spineless nobles left over from the Blue Moon Territory. What those shitty critics said is absolutely right.

They were unwilling to ask Catherine to radically sever ties with Li En and cancel the engagement to preserve the dignity of the Blue Moon Territory, but they also did not want to swallow their anger and be stepped on in the face by others.

Catherine became their only hope and an outlet for their emotions.

They hope Catherine can find a way to solve the current problem.

Catherine knew that this group of people were just sitting there doing nothing, but unfortunately she hadn't found better people to replace them, so she could only choose to tolerate them temporarily.

"Has the witch sent by His Majesty the King arrived?"

Katherine asked.

"Lady Catherine, she has arrived. It's the Fire Witch, Finna Barbossa."

The new Foreign Minister Anthony said that after the death of Viscount Steele, Catherine asked Li En to appoint a deputy who had once followed Alex Poole as Foreign Minister. This Foreign Minister was originally from the Green Shade Leader, but he had been working diligently since taking office and had seized the time to implement the witch's matter. He was a rare practical talent. Now his situation was a bit embarrassing, and other ministers regarded him as an enemy.

"The Fire Witch, Fenna Barbossa, has arrived at the tower and awaits your summons at any time."

Anthony said.

Catherine nodded slightly, expressing her satisfaction with Anthony's ability to get things done.

"Anthony, you did a great job, and I will reward you."

"Lady Catherine, this is my responsibility. Master Li En has instructed me to complete the task you assigned me."

Anthony bowed his head and said.

The ministers cast their burning gazes at Anthony. If looks could kill, Anthony would have died more than a dozen times by now.

"Anthony, if I break up with Lord Li En, whose side will you choose?"

Catherine asked suddenly.

This is also what all the ministers want to know, whether Anthony is a spy from the Green Shade Territory.

Anthony knelt on one knee and said seriously,
"Lord Li En asked me to follow you forever and be loyal to you. You have bestowed upon me the status of a Blue Moon Territory noble, and given me trust and opportunity. I will never betray you. But if you ask me to betray Lord Li En, I cannot do it. If that day ever comes, please allow me to resign." "Anthony, you ungrateful Green Shade Territory country bumpkin, do you think a man like you can hold the position of Foreign Minister because of your true talents? That is entirely the grace of Lady Catherine, you ungrateful fellow."

The Home Secretary kicked Anthony angrily, and other ministers also wanted to step forward and beat Anthony, but were stopped by Catherine with a look.

They awkwardly withdrew their extended hands or feet and stared at Anthony fiercely to express their dissatisfaction with Li En.

Catherine is no longer the little girl who can be manipulated by others. She can now be intimidating without being angry, and her aura is becoming more and more like that of a superior.

"Okay, Anthony, you're very honest, and that's what I admire about you, but I must tell you that from today on, the only person you'll be loyal to is me, Catherine Rochelle Hernandez Mehliban Jackson. You can be grateful to Li En, but you will always be my subordinate."

Catherine walked over to Anthony and helped him up from the ground.

Anthony's eyes met Catherine's. At that moment, he felt his blood boiling and even his heartbeat slowed down.

In his eyes, Catherine was no longer the weak girl who needed treatment. She was a young lord with great ambitions. Her future was limitless, like the rising sun, which made people unable to take their eyes off. However, if they looked closely, they would be burned by her radiance.

No one else could ignite his passion like Catherine.

"Lord Catherine, I swear eternal loyalty to you. To you alone."

Catherine patted Anthony's shoulder and said, "I will never mistreat my subordinates. Your name will follow me into history. When the Blue Moon Territory once again makes everyone in the Holy Empire aware of her importance, you will definitely not be forgotten."

"I coexist with the Blue Moon Territory."

Anthony said excitedly.

He is a talented young man, but as long as he is under Alex Poole's management, he will never be able to surpass Alex Poole.

Li En saw this and gave him to Catherine, who was extremely short of talent. Catherine valued him and gave him hope of surpassing Alex Poole.

The timely arrival of the Fire Witch was the best proof. The Guardian Bureau had originally planned to send only an ordinary witch, but with his efforts, they got the Fire Witch.

Those who are in the top 50 of the witch strength ranking are all favored by heaven, those in the top 100 are elite witches, and those who are not in the top 100 are all ordinary witches.

Although each county only has one guardian witch, the Guardian Bureau has a sufficient reserve of witches, with no less than 2000 registered witches.

Of course, this is still too small considering the huge population base of the entire Holy Empire.

But for other countries, this number is far beyond their reach.

Therefore, the Holy Empire is also called the Witch Empire by other vassal states.

Unfortunately, these witches were subject to the rules set by the first king and were not allowed to participate in wars.

As the last line of defense for humanity, their only mission is to protect monsters from invading the territory and to take on defensive duties, rather than engaging in external wars.

Even King Auguras could not overturn this law and make the witches fight for him in the Azure Dragon Court.

"Now tell me, Anthony, how do I resolve the matter of Youssoufa?"

Catherine looked at Anthony.

Anthony thought for a moment and said, "Yusofa isn't crucial to Blue Moon Territory. Since we've already lost it, we should just abandon it. What we need to do now is drive Green Shade Territory's troops to the border, and have our own troops garrison the high walls and important areas."

The ministers looked at Antony in surprise.

"You're asking us to disown Green Shade Territory's protection? Do you know how many troops Lady Mary has? How could our Blue Moon Territory's army possibly withstand Lady Mary's iron hoof?"

The Home Secretary was the first to object.

Other ministers also echoed.

"Yes, if we lose the protection of Green Shade Territory, we will be in danger."

"We can't face Lady Mary on our own. We absolutely can't win."

Catherine looked at Anthony, whose eyes were firm.

"In that case, let's do as Anthony said. Mary has no reason to declare war on us for the time being, and we must also make our position clear. The Jackson family is not the spineless descendants of the Blue Moon Territory."

The ministers wanted to object, but Catherine waved her hand, signaling Mina to send everyone out.

After the ministers had left, Mina asked worriedly,

"Lady Catherine, are you really going to break up with Lord Li En? Just because of Nancy Stuart?"

"Have you ever seen the portrait of Nancy Stuart?"

"Yes, I have seen her. She is indeed very beautiful, but she cannot be like you. You and Lord Li En have experienced life and death together. Your relationship is enviable."

Although Mina didn't want to admit it, she still told the truth.

A smile appeared on Catherine's face.

"Yes, I definitely won't do this because of her. I won't break up with Li En. I even read the letters he wrote to me every day to miss him."

Catherine was also very frank with Mina, because even if she didn't say it, Mina, as her personal maid, knew it all.

"Then why did you expel the Green Shade Territory's troops and send them outside the high walls? Doing so would be like a complete break between the Blue Moon Territory and the Green Shade Territory. Some might even question your engagement."

Mina said.

"Only when the Green Shade Territory's army is driven outside the high walls can Li En be safer in Mary's territory. Besides, he may have other plans."

Catherine returned to her bedroom and stroked the armor placed in the bedroom.

This Valkyrie suit was a gift for Catherine that Li En had taken the time to help create before he left.

Catherine looks forward to the day when she can wear it, but at the same time she is afraid that it will put Blue Moon Territory in crisis again.

"Lady Catherine, are you thinking about Lord Li En?"

"Yes, if it's him, he should be able to make the best choice, right?"

Catherine looked out the window. The moon was already high in the sky, and the twilight had a touch of warmth under the moonlight.

At this time, Li En, who was being missed, received a special guest.
