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

Chapter 177 A Sleepless Night
Jack Moriah realized that something was wrong with Li En's mood, and left his dream without hesitation. He came and left in a hurry, as if he was in a hurry to attend the next party.

Li En woke up from his dream and felt Annie beside him. She exuded a sweet fragrance like a dessert.

But Dorothy's affairs had put him in no mood for dessert.

"you're awake?"

Anne's voice rang in my ears.

"Yes, Anne, I'm still used to sleeping alone. Don't really treat me as a hopeless disabled person. The result of my trial doesn't necessarily mean being sent to the guillotine or the gallows. The more considerate you are, the more uneasy I feel. I hope you can treat me as you did before, as a normal person."

Annie was silent for a moment and let go of Li En's hand.

She got out of bed, rested her chin on one hand, and leaned on the edge of the bed. "Okay, Master Li En."

"I don't mean to blame you, Anne."

"I know. You've been troubled, perhaps by a woman. When you woke up and realized I was beside you, you were upset. You might have to accept help from a woman who has more power and status than you, and you'll have to pay a price for it."

Anne's sharp words surprised Li En.

He now suspected that the person in front of him was not Anne, but Anna.

But the difference between Anne and Anna is that Anne will tell whatever she knows, but Anna will not reveal the truth even if she knows it.

"If you need to walk and think alone at night, I have a cane ready for you."

"No, Annie, I just want to sleep alone."

"Okay, Master Li En. I'll stay right beside you."

"Thank you, Annie."

Li En covered himself with the quilt, thinking about how to repay Dorothy's favor.

Although this was a promise made by Jack Moriah, Earl Hall's power was already able to influence the number of judges in the Supreme Court, which proved that he was someone he could not offend at all.

Although Grand Duke Moria has his eyes on the Jackson family, if the Jackson family is compared with the Hall family in the imperial capital, he will probably side with the latter.

If this is the case, there will be too many people who will put pressure on you in the future.

Li En tossed and turned, with Catherine on one side and Dorothy on the other. It was destined to be a sleepless night.

Like Li En, Catherine, who was fighting a desperate battle, and Mary, who received the notice of trial from the Vatican, also suffered from insomnia.

Not long after Catherine received the good news from Alex Poole, probably in the evening, the army led by Mary and the Knights of the Holy See joined forces to completely destroy the front line of the Blue Moon Territory. The Witch Dora and the Knight Cage Mori were seriously injured.

Mary was a military genius. Even after losing the 5 elite Rose Army that she had carefully trained, she was still able to win with her experience and extraordinary strength.

The coalition army led by Mary fought all the way to Blue Moon Castle and occupied four-fifths of the Blue Moon Territory. Blue Moon Castle and the land behind it are all that Catherine owns now.

Catherine did not expect that Mary would arrive at the city so soon. She was forced to put on armor and go into battle, deciding to live and die with Blue Moon Castle.

Alex Poole did not expect that he would be left with such a tense situation. He tried to persuade the Green Shade Territory's army to return to the Blue Moon Territory's side, but unfortunately, the commanders of the Green Shade Territory's army had been turned into heartless people by Mary and could only obey Mary's orders.

In other words, the more than 7 troops of the Green Shade Territory have basically been completely reorganized by Mary. Only by killing their current commander can this group of people turn back to the right path.

Mary, who was about to taste the fruits of victory, not only received a trial notice from the Holy See at this critical moment, but also a handwritten letter from her brother, Augustus Frank, King of the Holy Empire.

This forced her to give up the Blue Moon Castle and one-fifth of the Blue Moon Territory, which was within her grasp, and let the Blue Moon Army continue to survive.

Mary's face was gloomy, as if it wanted to devour everything within her sight. Even Glennan Doyle, the Secretary of War beside her, felt fear.

"Mrs. Mary, what's wrong?"

"Lean Moriah is not dead."

This was the first time Mary felt so disgusted that someone was still alive. Although she did not hate Li En, and even admired him a little, and their relationship was a bit ambiguous, and they had also talked about becoming allies, but just because Li En was alive and meddled in other people's affairs and saved so many people, she was charged with such a crime, brought to the Supreme Court, and even affected her current battle situation, which made her very annoyed.

"How is this possible? How did he survive?"

Glennan Doyle's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Mary didn't answer, she didn't know how Li En survived.

She frowned slightly as she looked at the high priest Cosem Pizarro waiting beside her, knowing that she could not escape the judgment and could only hand over the battlefield to Glennan Doyle.

"Grennan, I leave this place to you. I need to leave for a while."

"Um, okay. Lady Mary."

Glennan Doyle said hesitantly, feeling both surprised and delighted.

Is this low-hanging fruit about to fall upon me? Winning this battle will only benefit my career.

Glennan Doyle suddenly felt like the luckiest man in the world.

Mary's trial will be scheduled one week after Li En's trial, which means that after Li En's trial is over, it will be Mary's turn, but before that, Mary must accept the jurisdiction of the Holy See and come to Yalong City.

Mary was accused of falsely accusing tens of thousands of people in Yusofa of being contaminated, causing the Holy See to mistakenly adopt the ultimate purification array, which almost led to the deaths of tens of thousands of people and the complete disappearance of the national territory of Yusofa.

This charge was the conclusion reached by the Vatican clergy after conducting final tests on all the residents of Yusofa, because none of them were contaminated by the evil god.

What made Mary even more angry was Augustus Frank's taking advantage of the situation.

His handwritten letter stated that because Mary had nearly brought a major disaster to the kingdom's citizens, Sequence 5 Ripper must be returned to the Frank family for temporary custody during the trial. Sequence 5 could only be retrieved after Mary was found not guilty.

This is the real reason why Mary can't wait a moment and must return to Yalong City.

She must first return to the Frank family and use the power of the elders to put pressure on Auglas to stop him from thinking about taking the Sequence 5 Ripper from her.

The Blue Moon Army, which was already in despair, suddenly found that Mary, whose army was at the gate of the city, suddenly turned her horse around.

A high priest in a white robe came to them and asked the Jackson brothers and sisters to go to the Supreme Court of the Imperial Capital, Yalong City, to stand trial.

This gave Catherine hope again.

She knew that Mary must have left the battlefield because of this incident.

Catherine directly handed the battlefield over to Alex Poole, the helper sent by Li En, and gave him the supreme command on the battlefield. She and her brother Lor followed the high priest.

What was embarrassing was that Catherine, Lor and Mary were on the same magic train heading to the imperial capital, Yalong City, and in the same carriage.

The Imperial Honorable Lord Oba, who was in charge of delivering the letter, and the High Priest Cosem Pizarro, as well as the Knight Commander of the Pole Star Knights, the Five-Star Glory Knight Hickman, reunited.

They were responsible for sending the three people back to the imperial capital.

In order to ease the awkward atmosphere in the carriage, Hickman suggested that everyone play Empire Cards, and then a strange game of cards emerged.

"Catherine, are you sure you want to play cards with me?"

Mary looked at the pale Catherine provocatively. She looked very sick and seemed like she would fall down at any moment, but her eyes were extremely firm.

"It's just a card game, what's there to be afraid of?"

The corners of Catherine's mouth curled up slightly. She was no longer afraid of Mary. Li En's experience of facing the evil god gave her great courage. Her man could fight against the evil god, so why should she be afraid of Mary?

"I will not participate."

Compared to the brave Catherine, Lauer is still full of fear of Mary.

"Why don't you join? It's more fun with one more person, Lor. Are you afraid of losing to your wife?"

Hickman teased.

The High Priest Cosem Pizarro and the Imperial Honorable Oba looked at him silently, as if they were lighting candles for him.

Who doesn't know the relationship between Mary and Luo Er? It's better to say that Luo Er was a hostage taken by Mary than to say that they were husband and wife.

"I'm not good at playing Empire."

Lore still refused to play, so Hickman stopped trying to persuade him.

Finally, it was the High Priest, the Imperial Reverend Oppa, Mary, Catherine and Hickman who played in a game of five.

Hickman had a bad hand and was eliminated in the first round.

"Oh, what bad luck."

The high priest Cosem Pizarro had poor skills and was soon eliminated.

He just smiled and said, "Everyone, continue."

Imperial Honorable Oba was the third to be eliminated. He said somewhat unwillingly, "Just a little bit."

Finally only Catherine and Mary were left.

A contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of Mary's mouth.

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

"Why should I be afraid of you?"

Katherine asked in a flat tone.

"Oh, I see. It's because you heard he was still alive that you suddenly had the courage to continue to fight me."

Mary said casually as she picked up her cards.

"Yes, he's still alive. You must be very scared, right?"

Catherine asked back.

"Oh? Why should I panic? He's my ally. Have you forgotten who Nancy Scalia belongs to? They're always together, the envy of others. He even wants to break off his engagement with you."

Mary raised her brows slightly, observing the expression on Catherine's face.

"Yes, you may have promised to be his ally, but you betrayed him at the critical moment and fled alone. Do you think he will still stand by you now? When his trial is over, it will be your turn. Perhaps you will be charged with more crimes by then."

The corners of Catherine's mouth rose slightly, revealing a confident expression.

"Even if I break off my alliance with him, will he return to you?"

Mary suddenly realized the problem. She sneered twice, "It's a pity that all this is too late. There is no need to wait until the end of the trial. The Blue Moon Territory will be completely conquered. The Jackson family is destined to be submerged in the long river of history and become a joke."

"That depends on the decision of someone who likes to play cards."

Catherine showed her cards.

Mary was slightly stunned.

She actually lost.

Lost to Catherine.

Catherine put down the cards, a smile on her lips, "Mary, you lose."

"It's just a card game."

Mary still believed that everything was under her control.

Five-star Glory Knight Hickman clapped his hands. "Wonderful, truly wonderful! Lady Mary and Lady Catherine's luck is truly amazing."

Catherine turned her head and looked at the scenery outside the train window, feeling both uneasy and nervous.

She didn't know what the war situation would be like after she left, but she believed in Li En. She believed that Li En would not make the mistake of choosing someone.

Even if Alex Poole loses in the end, you can't blame him. It was a bet with a very small chance of winning.

She was now even more looking forward to seeing Li En in Yalong City, as she knew that their destinies had long been tied together.

"Even if the Saint Raymond Purification Array was mistakenly activated because of me, but ultimately caused no harm, I still won't be found guilty. Naive Catherine, you are destined to lose everything."

Mary scoffed. She was actually very angry now. If conditions allowed, she would kill everyone in the car to quench her anger.

It's a pity that she can't kill in front of the high priest, otherwise she will have one more crime.

Catherine also smiled faintly. She reached out and gently straightened her brother Lore's collar, as if mocking the discord between Mary and her brother Augustus Frank.

Lor looked at Catherine dotingly, "No matter what, we Jacksons will never abandon you."

Catherine nodded slightly. Before the war, Catherine had asked the noble girl of the Blue Moon Territory to give birth to Lor's offspring.

Even if she and Lor were both tried as heretics and eventually sent to the guillotine, the Jackson family bloodline would not be cut off.

Although this was the worst-case scenario, Catherine was a pessimistic person.

She had been prepared to lose everything since she embarked on the road of revenge.

If there was a change, it was Lee En Moriah.

Li En, who was missed, finally welcomed a new day after a sleepless night.

He did not go anywhere that day. He stayed in the castle and discussed the legal clauses that were favorable to him with Fia. He also selectively told Fia the facts about the cause and effect of the matter.

"According to what you said, Grace was pregnant with the evil god's child. You, Mary Frank, and Yasin Matic worked together to prevent the evil god from being born. However, Yasin Matic died first, and Mary Frank escaped, leaving you alone to face the newborn evil god. In the end, it was the Golden Goddess who arrived, saved you, and defeated the newborn evil god."

Fia concluded, pushing up her gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose.

"Yes, but that's not accurate. The evil god wasn't actually born. He was still in Grace's belly. The Golden Goddess saved me and destroyed Grace. To prevent contamination, the Golden Goddess surrounded and purified the entire Yusofa with a green cage. She saved everyone."

Li En corrected and supplemented Feia's words.

"Then why didn't you run away with Mary Frank?"

"Because I can't abandon Yusofah. I am Yusofah's governor. I have hundreds of thousands of guards and civilians behind me. I can't abandon them."
