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

Chapter 149 Mary's Heartbeat and Temptation
Li En came out of the dream, and the scent of Sophie's hair was still lingering on his nose.

Although it seemed like a long time had passed in the dream, in reality the time still remained at noon.

The sunlight streamed into the room through the colorful bay windows, casting a dazzling array of colors on him.

Li En rubbed his eyes and got up from the bed.

"Inna."

"Teacher, I'm here."

Inna replied weakly.

"fine."

After hearing what Li En said, Inna fainted.

She didn't expect that her hard work would result in more debt.

Li En seemed to be teaching her through his actions that if you can endure hardship, you will have endless hardships to endure.

"Forehead…"

Li En touched his chin and asked, "Isn't the punishment a bit too harsh?"

He picked up the little girl from the floor, put her on the sofa, and covered her with a thin blanket.

At this time, the bedroom door opened quietly.

Even without looking back, Li En knew who it was.

Nancy Stuart.

She walked in wearing an intricate and gorgeous palace-style dress, a unique crystal crown on her head, and her long blue hair cascading down her back like waves. Coupled with her exquisite makeup, she looked even more charming than usual and stunningly beautiful. She looked like the once high-ranking princess of the Stuart Empire.

"your Highness?"

Li En looked at Nancy Stuart in confusion, not understanding why she suddenly took off her maid's attire and dressed so gorgeously.

Nancy Stuart put on an elaborate mask,

"My knight, have you forgotten that you will be attending the masquerade ball hosted by Lady Mary tonight? Shouldn't you be preparing?"

"The masquerade ball held by Mary. Oh, I remember now. It was me who suggested that she hold more activities in Yusofa to attract the people and win their support."

Li En suddenly remembered this incident.

In fact, how could Mary be close to the people? The people here refer to the nobles of Yusof.

"My princess, what kind of outfit do you think suits me?"

Lee En looked at Nancy Stuart with a smile.

Nancy Stuart pushed Li En onto the bed and licked her lips. "Perhaps you would be suitable to play my husband."

"With great pleasure."

Forty-five minutes later...

Inna smelled the aroma of food. She opened her eyes drowsily and saw the messy and scattered clothes.

Her brows gradually furrowed, and she began to pick up the clothes one by one, fold them, and clean the room.

Although she longed for the taste, she knew she had to restrain herself.

The more a succubus knows how to control its desires in childhood, the more powerful it will be when it grows up.

In order to escape the smell in the room, she decisively grabbed the "dirty clothes", tidied up the room, and fled the scene.

So, when Li En and Nancy finished their business and opened the bed curtains to find that all their clothes had been taken away, they both thought of a name at the same time.

Inna.

During the day, this little guy showed obvious signs of not having enough brain power.

At night, he is quite rebellious.

"Maybe you should get a new personal maid."

Nancy said.

"Maybe you should reflect on why you didn't teach her to be more obedient."

Li En said.

"You are her teacher. I am only responsible for teaching. Strictly speaking, I have no obligation to teach her character."

Nancy said.

"Well, it was indeed my negligence."

Li En nodded and hugged Nancy Stuart. "In that case, let's do it again."

Nancy Stuart's cheeks flushed slightly.

Happy times are always short-lived.

The sky is getting darker.

During this time, Li En was very curious that Annie did not come to disturb him.

My maid has been acting mysterious lately and I don't know what she is doing.

Of course, there are many things she can do, such as training hard, such as...

Li En didn't think of it for the time being.

night.

Under the dim candlelight, a luxurious masquerade ball is quietly unfolding in the Black Rose Castle.

Tiny whispers and light laughter intertwined into an unknown prelude, echoing between the towering arches and carved beams.

The nobles wore elaborate formal gowns, the men's tuxedos were well-cut with a subtle sharpness; the ladies wore silk and satin, their skirts swaying gently on the dance floor like blooming flowers.

They all wore various strange masks on their faces, hiding their true appearance.

The band played a graceful melody, the elegant violins and crisp flutes complementing each other, like elves frolicking in a dense forest. The dancers followed the rhythm, spinning and leaping, the distance between them constantly closing and expanding to the music, and a hidden emotion filled the air.

Li En, dressed as a vampire, brought Nancy Stuart, who was dressed up, and Anne, who was wearing a cloak and transformed into a red-haired witch, to the Black Rose Castle to attend the masquerade ball.

Even though everyone was fully disguised, Li En could still recognize them because everyone's entries were different, and these entries were the reason for exposing their identities.

Li En felt that if he participated in the Werewolf game, he would definitely be invincible.

He is equivalent to possessing advanced identification skills, which can identify a person's character, strengths, and even status.

The unique charm of the two made them the focus of the audience as soon as they appeared.

Especially Nancy Stuart, with half of her face covered, the curve of her jaw, bright red lips and high nose bridge are enough to make people unable to take their eyes off her.

She was like a princess from an ancient fairy tale, so coveted.

Because Li En played a vampire, he did not wear a mask, but only used fangs as decoration, and he still looked extraordinarily handsome.

The two of them standing together look very harmonious.

When the nobles saw Li En again, they couldn't help but think of the deadline Li En gave them.

"Lord Li En, good evening."

"Good evening, Mrs. Nancy."

"Lord Li En, good evening."

"Good evening, Mrs. Nancy."

"Lord Moria, good evening."

"Good evening, Miss Nancy."

The masked nobles greeted the two of them one after another. The reason why Nancy's title was a little different was that she was already Li En's public mistress. In this case, respectful people would directly call her Madam, flattering people would call her Mrs., and some ladies would still call her Miss.

If Catherine is present, Nancy can only be addressed as Mrs. Nancy, not Mrs. Nancy.

But there is an essential difference between Mrs. Nancy and Mrs. Moriah. Mrs. Moriah can only be Catherine, not Nancy.

If Nancy had a child, she could no longer be called Miss, but had to be Mrs.

As for Li En's title, there are not so many changes.

Those who were close to him would call him Lord Li En, while those who were slightly more distant would call him Lord Moria. However, in order to avoid Grand Duke Moria, most people still chose to call Li En by his first name instead of his surname.

Nancy was clearly in a good mood; she liked being called Mrs. Nancy. "Master Li En, Lady Mary wants to see you."

A waiter came forward and said respectfully.

Li En nodded slightly, said goodbye to the nobles, and followed the waiter through the crowd.

Nancy Stuart took his arm and they walked forward together.

At this moment, Mary sat at the piano, her posture as graceful and tranquil as a sculpture. Her fingers danced lightly across the black and white keys, and each note seemed to carry her emotions, both surging and passionate.

Mary was wearing a gorgeous Anna-style long dress inlaid with butterflies and diamonds, and a tassel mask inlaid with countless rare diamonds on her face. She was as beautiful as a goddess from mythology.

This Anna-style long skirt has become popular from Green Shade Collar to Youssoufa.

Designer Anna's name also became popular.

Mary would never have thought that this designer Anna was the female spy she had sent to Green Shade Territory.

The hem of her skirt brushed gently against the piano bench, and Mary's hair fluttered gently in the breeze, like the softest stars in the night sky.

Ancient oil paintings and flickering candles hung on the surrounding walls, and the dim light cast a soft golden glow on her.

As the music rose and fell, the candle flame swayed gently, casting changing light and shadow on her face, like a dream drama.

Her emotions rose and fell with the climax of the music, her expression became richer and richer, and the sound of the piano under her fingertips was like a surging ocean, hitting everyone's heart.

Almost everyone's eyes were on Mary.

Li En was also slightly surprised. He didn't expect that in addition to all kinds of amazing entries, Mary also had good piano skills.

When the song ended, applause came like a tide.

Mary stood up, lifted her skirt, and bowed slightly to Li En, like a real lady, completely different from the usually decisive southern overlord.

The nobles praised her one after another, believing that Mary would become an outstanding piano master.

Mary didn't like the compliments; they were just a passing fancy.

She came to Li En and invited him to taste wine with Nancy.

"Mrs. Mary, there are few who can play music like you."

Li En raised his glass, which contained the freshest Rose Horsman wine, from Rose Territory, the work of the famous winemaker Horsman.

Mary gently shook her wine glass. "What did Lord Li En hear?"

"Your music is like you, full of the passion of life and the decisiveness of killing, like a falcon with its sharp edge."

Li En said without hesitation.

Mary smiled and said, "I like this evaluation. You are really different from them."

"They just don't dare to tell you about your ambitions."

Li En clinked glasses with Mary.

Amid the clinking sound of wine glasses, the two men's eyes met.

Maybe it was because he had specially replenished Nancy's magic before coming here, and now his charm is still irresistible to the opposite sex.

So, Mary felt the illusion of a faster heartbeat.

"This is Horsman wine. It's produced once every summer and winter. This is the first batch of Horsman wine from Rose Territory, transported here via the magic train. The flavor is very pure. This is fruit wine, so it should be drunk fresh. Unlike other wines, the more it settles, the mellower the flavor becomes."

Mary told Li En in detail the origin of the fruit wine in the glass.

This suddenly reminded Li En of the story of lychees.

“It tastes really good.”

Li En took a sip of the fruit wine, which had ice cubes in it. It tasted very good and comparable to cocktails in later generations.

"Nancy."

Mary looked at Nancy with a smile, and Nancy put the glass to her lips and took a sip.

She has never liked drinking.

"Horseman brewed it himself."

Nancy Stuart said lightly.

"Nancy, you should learn to drink. It's a pleasure."

Mary took another sip of Horsman's cider, then said slowly,

"I have already had many churches dedicated to the Golden Goddess built. Some people in the army have also begun to believe in the Golden Goddess. They have indeed become very lucky during this period. This has made me no longer doubt and decided to build some churches in Holloway as well."

Li En nodded and agreed silently.

"But I don't know how many followers of the Golden Goddess I need to add to his life in order to kill him immediately. I can't wait any longer."

Mary looked at Li En with a strong aggressive look in her eyes.

If Li En did not possess the status of an evil god, he would probably be frightened by her and tremble like the servants around him.

"I'm sorry, I'm not a god, so I can't know the exact value. But if you really can't wait any longer, why don't you just send an assassin to assassinate him?"

Lee En asked.

"I sent out assassins, but you dealt with them."

Mary's tone was full of appreciation, not annoyance. "I'm curious, how on earth did you do it? Kill my Heartless."

"Lady Mary, you really think too highly of me. How could I possibly kill the Heartless? This is also the power of the Golden Goddess. In fact, I am one of Her first believers. It was She who granted me power, but it was not free."

Li En put his arm around Nancy's waist and kissed her neck.

When lying, one must try to avoid eye contact with the target. Li En can conceal himself very well through this behavior.

"It seems like you're really obsessed with Nancy."

The corners of Mary's mouth curled up slightly.

Nancy read jealousy in her eyes.

Mary was seldom jealous of anyone, except her brother.

And today, Li En actually made her feel this way, which was enough to prove that Li En's current charm was probably comparable to that of a male succubus.

"Yes, Nancy is so beautiful, no one can refuse her, right?"

Li En asked back.

"Then will you reject me?"

Mary suddenly held out her hand.

Li En held up her left hand and said, "Of course not. I'm honored to invite you to dance with me."

The two walked onto the dance floor. Li En put his arm around Mary's waist, and Mary put her hand on Li En's shoulder. Their bodies were close, but not tightly pressed together, maintaining aristocratic elegance and etiquette.

"My knight Yasin wants me to give him Nancy. He thinks you are not qualified to be Nancy's lover because you poisoned those poor noble girls and Youssouf's 12 tulips."

Mary leaned close to Li En's ear and spoke in a hoarse and sexy voice, and Li En felt his ears itchy.

"Please help me reject this offer. I can't lose Nancy."

Lee En whispered in response.

"What about me?"

"No one can have you. Not even I dare to hope for such a thing. But we are steadfast allies, aren't we?"

"Haha, I will reject Yashin, but to make it up to him, I decided to let Nancy stay with him for one night. What do you think?"

Mary looked at Li En, her sharp eyes seeming to see through his thoughts.

She was testing Li En to see whether he regarded Nancy Stuart as an object or a person.

If it is the latter, then she has grasped Li En's weakness, and Nancy's value as a chess piece will be higher.

If it was the former, then she wouldn't mind actually sending Nancy Stuart to Yasin Matic's bed to make up for Yasin Matic.

At the same time, she was also testing Li En's loyalty to her.

Since Li En had proposed, he let her be his mistress.

So what was the difference between her and a mistress like Nancy Stuart?
