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

Chapter 17 The Road is Narrow (Please Read~)

The letter left by Moriah answered many of Li En's doubts, and also allowed him to deal with the affairs of Green Shade Territory with full freedom.

Li En turned around and found that there was no expression of shock on the faces of Sophie, Anna and Anne.

"Aren't you afraid?"

Sophie didn't say anything, but just shook her head slightly to express her attitude.

"afraid of what?"

Anne asked in confusion.

"Are you afraid of me? I'm not the real Li En. Aren't you curious about where the real Li En went? Aren't you afraid of me, an imposter?"

After asking this question, Li En realized that he was naive.

One of them is an ice witch who has experienced being on the verge of losing control, one is a spy who has been walking on the edge of life and death for many years, and the other is an assassin whose primary mission is assassination.

Why would they be afraid?
The dull expressions of the three people at this moment are the best proof.

What a clown I am.

After a moment of silence, Anna took the initiative to break the silence.

"Lord Li En, no matter who you are, you are the one we will follow, and our loyalty will only be to you."

"I will never betray you, even if you are vile, twisted, and morally corrupt."

Anne added.

The quiet Sophie nodded slightly, indicating that she agreed with the twins' point of view.

Li En's mouth twitched slightly, "Annie, that last sentence is unnecessary."

Anna took a candlestick from the cabinet, gently took the letter from Li En's hand, and placed it on the flame of the candlestick. The letter burned in the flame like a butterfly bathing in fire.

Annie took the thick blanket from Li En.

Li En lay down on the bed and said to them,
"It's getting late, you should go back and rest."

Anna and Anne bowed at the same time and retreated.

Tonight is their first night back free, and they want to feel the world with their hearts.

The two sisters closed the door of Li En's bedroom, held hands, and walked along the dark corridor to the moonlit garden.

Li En was not sleepy either. He turned his head and looked at Sophie who was standing by the windowsill.

Ever since he told Sophie that he needed her protection, she had never left the 10-meter radius around him.

Of course, Li En felt that his bedroom was big enough for two people to rest together.

I sleep on the bed and leave the soft sofa to Miss Witch.

"Sophie, don't you want to rest?"

Sophie shook her head.

"What do you usually do at this time?"

Lee En asked.

"Inspection."

Sophie's cold voice reached Li En's ears.

Li En suddenly remembered that he inherited the title too hastily and had not yet visited the high wall.

There are monsters in this world, so every territory has built its own high wall.

Inside the high walls is a city with a relatively high safety factor, while outside the walls are dangerous forests and wastelands.

The first place Li En arrived at was the Bone Forest, a large forest famous for its tree monsters, skeleton monsters, corpse monsters, and goblins.

Because the forest area is too large and the population of Green Shade Territory is growing too fast, some small villages have been built outside the high walls.

The part of the Bone Forest close to the village is actually the "pure land" cleared by the Knights.

The monsters won't come close easily.

That's why the guards chose to bury the sick alive there.

Li En and his friends encountered a tree monster there, most likely because of the bad luck brought by the [Bad Luck Constitution].

"Let's go see the wall together tomorrow."

Li En said.

Sophie nodded.

She has become accustomed to being the guardian of Green Shade Territory and rarely sleeps.

I am used to standing on a high wall and staring blankly alone in the moonlight.

She stood by the windowsill, looking through the glass window at the twin sisters playing in the flower garden.

They held hands, spun in circles, and danced like naive children, enjoying the joy of being reborn.

Sophie suddenly felt a little envious.

She picked up a colorful glass vase on the windowsill and whispered to herself,

"Is it better to grow flowers or fish?" Sophie hopes to have a playmate, whether it is a flower or a fish.

This way, she can hold it in her hand or in her arms at any time, and she will never be alone wherever she goes.

In this way, she felt complete and no longer only thought about patrolling and fighting.

In this way, she will have her own interests and hobbies, and perhaps she can smile as gently as Anna and say words as rebellious as Anne.

Sophie was a little happy because she had started thinking about the future.

Li En heard her words and a smile appeared on his lips.

He closed his eyes and fell asleep.

A dreamless night.

When I woke up, Anna and Anne had already entered the bedroom.

Anna prepared water for him to wash his face, and Anne prepared clothes for him.

Li En discovered that this was the second dress he wore when he arrived at the lord's mansion.

"A new tailor?"

"This is the dress Anna made for you last night."

Anne said.

Anna didn't expose her and maintained an elegant smile.

The assassin's craftsmanship was excellent, but she had misjudged Li En's size and the suit was a little too small.

Li En's clothes were a bit waist-hugging.

Anne was a little annoyed, and her pretty brows frowned slightly. It seemed that she was not suitable to be a tailor.

Li En could tell from the sisters' subtle expressions that the dress must have been made by Anne, not Anna.

With Anna's meticulousness, she would never make clothes that don't fit her size.

"I think it's great, it suits me very well and makes me look more energetic."

Li En had just spoken when he raised his hand and his coat made a rustling sound.

There's a rip under my arm.

For a moment, you could hear a pin drop in the room.

Several people were silent.

Li En awkwardly took off his coat and said, "I'd better wear the same suit I wore yesterday."

Anna immediately helped Li En get the dress.

Annie's face flushed slightly, and she felt that her path had narrowed, although Li En was not angry about it.

Li En changed his clothes and refused Anna's offer of water to wash his face.

"Please don't treat me like a second-level disabled person in the future. I can go to the bathroom by myself, and I can change clothes by myself."

After enjoying a life of having everything provided for him, Li En still prefers to do things himself.

When Anna and Annie heard what Li En said, they looked obviously disappointed.

"Did we do something wrong?"

Anna asked.

"It's because Lord Li En is tired of us and wants new maids and new faces."

Anne added.

"That's not what I meant. I simply decided to do it myself. It's more convenient. Besides, you are no longer my servants. You are free and my partners."

Li En said,

"You don't need to follow me around every day. Just show up when I need you."

"Call it and it will come, wave it away; it is dispensable."

Anne asked.

Li En was sweating, and the summary was quite accurate.

"Okay, pretend I didn't say that."

"Master Li En, we are still your maids on the surface, otherwise it will arouse others' suspicion."

Anna said gently, she knew what Li En meant, that he wanted to give them enough respect.

Li En nodded.

Sophie looked at the clothes Anne had made and fell into deep thought.

She was thinking whether she could do something for Li En.

"Sophie, let's go on patrol."
