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

Moonlight streamed through the intricately carved lattice windows onto the spacious ballroom.
The dancing flames in the fireplace cast a warm halo, which interweaves with the brilliant light reflected by the crystal chandelier to form a gorgeous picture.
The noble gentlemen, dressed in tuxedos and straight bow ties, gently embraced the ladies, who were dressed in gorgeous gowns and wearing rare jewelry, and spun into the dance floor.
Li En's dance partner was neither Miss Anne, the maid and his rumored girlfriend who had occupied a lot of space in gossip newspapers recently, nor Dorothy, the Imperial Rose who had attracted everyone's attention as soon as she arrived, but the high priest Fia Edlan Moria who had been doing her utmost to defend him.
Today, Fia changed out of her formal priest uniform and put on a long dress designed by Anne.
Due to time constraints, this dress was actually Anne's own, but the size and style were changed and given to Fia, but this still did not affect the beauty and elegance of the dress.
When Fia put on this dress, she felt more lively and energetic.
It was Fia's first time dancing on the dance floor, and she didn't expect it to be with her own lawyer.
"I'm surprised."
Fia put her hand on Li En's shoulder.
Li En's hand was on her slender waist.
"I'm surprised too."
"I mean, a blind man can dance so well."
Fia said.
"I mean, a high priest who never attends social balls can actually keep up with my beat."
Li En refused to give in.
"Although I never attend social dances, I have read many books about dance, and I have basically learned all the dance moves in them. Unfortunately, I am a priest and cannot be a dancer at the same time. Otherwise, I would not lose to any dancer."
Fia said confidently.
"Cousin Ephia's talent, indeed."
"I said we are not related."
“There wasn’t one before, but there will be one in the future.”
Li En said with a smile.
"You want me to have your child?"
Fia asked in surprise.
"No, I mean that from now on you are my cousin Fia, and the Moria family is willing to accept you."
Li En wiped the sweat from his forehead.
What was this woman thinking? If she didn't mention it, I would have completely forgotten what happened that night.
"I'm sorry, I don't need the help of secular forces for the time being, and I don't need to return to the Moria family."
Fia rejected Li En's proposal, leaving Li En at a loss as to how to repay her for her comeback.
"Don't worry, I always think of what I need and will ask you for it when the time comes. I won't ask for anything you can't pay for."
Fia said rationally.
"Okay, if one day you are expelled from the Vatican because of your eccentric personality, you can come to me and I will make you my chief legal advisor."
Li En said with a smile.
"That sounds good, but I don't think it's possible. Miss Dorothy is here. Do you want to dance with her?"
"Don't make things difficult for a blind person like me. If it weren't for the opening dance, I really wouldn't want to dance."
Li En didn't want to arouse Augustus' jealousy by dancing with Dorothy.
He already has enough people who envy him.
It turned out that Li En's choice was correct, because when the two noble youths were challenging Dorothy to a duel, King Augulas came in person.
Although he did not receive Li En's invitation, he did not want to miss this celebratory ball. The two young men who duelled for Dorothy were recorded by Augulas' servants and asked to follow Earl Hall to the Azure Dragon Court.
Since you are so belligerent, why don't you go and fight for your country?
He is now very curious about Lien Moria, and also wants to persuade him to help him attack the Azure Dragon Court. Of course, he will give him certain benefits, which are different from those cannon fodder.
The arrival of Augustus undoubtedly made the nobles more excited, especially the young and beautiful noble girls.
Although they admired the blind hero Lien Moriah, they wanted to become the queen of Auguras even more.
Augustus is a young and handsome king. He has not yet married. He has neither a queen nor a mistress. He is truly single.
Except for Grand Duke Moria and Earl Hall, almost all the powerful nobles in the country wanted to send their daughters to Augustus' bed.
Unfortunately, Augulas is a very stubborn person and he will not accept any purposeful flattery.
Besides, the person he likes is so outstanding that no one else can enter his field of vision except Dorothy.
There are exceptions, such as the High Priest Fia who is particularly eye-catching today.
But it's just some appreciation, not to the point of being moved.
It is not uncommon to pursue priestesses in upper-class circles, especially in the royal capital. Many young nobles like the holy existence of priestesses, so priestesses with eccentric personalities like Elizabeth are quite popular, but Augustus does not want to waste time on this.
The arrival of Augustus undoubtedly raised the level of the entire ball to a higher level. Almost all the bigwigs of the empire came!
"Good evening, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty the King."
"Your Majesty the King."
People saluted Augustus and made way for him.
Li En and Feiya also stopped dancing and stood still.
For a priest and a blind man, the best option is to stay where you are.
It was not until Augustus came before them that the two performed a church ceremony and a secular ceremony respectively.
"Good evening, Your Majesty."
"Leen Moria, High Priest Fia, I'm here to congratulate you. Today's trial was very exciting."
Auglas said with a smile.
The waiter brought them red wine.
Augustus raised his glass, and all the nobles present followed suit.
"Come, let's have a drink and celebrate Li En Moria's acquittal. This will be recorded in the history of the empire. Li En Moria, Yalong City welcomes you, the new noble of the empire!"
As Augulas said this, Li En's identity was almost truly defined.
The previous statement that Li En was a rising star in the empire was entirely based on his engagement with Catherine, which was more ironic.
But now it is completely different. He is the new imperial noble chosen by Augustus, proving that he is someone the king wants to use. Perhaps he has already entered the king's list of direct descendants. This importance must be taken seriously by everyone.
"Celebrating the acquittal of His Excellency Lee En Moriah."
Everyone raised their glasses and drank together, toasting with the people around them at close range. The clinking of glasses made the atmosphere of the dance party even more lively.
The cheerful music continued, and the noble girls tried their best to show off their dancing skills, hoping to attract the attention of the important people.
Only Dorothy, who was drinking silently in the corner, was neither dancing nor wearing a gorgeous dress, but she still made many young people crazy.
Augulas never took these young people seriously. He just glanced at them lightly and remembered their names. He was busy with his own social activities and lobbying Li En to participate in the war in the Blue Dragon Court for him.
"Li En, a man can only quickly accumulate merits on the battlefield, without relying on the protection of his father. In fact, the title of Prime Minister already has a first-in-line heir. Although you are gifted and talented, you cannot inherit the title no matter what. Do you understand?"
Augustus looked at Li En with a smile. The two of them had a rare opportunity to be alone, drinking wine and chatting on the sofa in the corner.
After a few clinks of glasses, the distance between Augustus and Li En was obviously shortened a lot, and the two also had a common secret.
Auglas knew that Li En was the biggest heretic and had a deal with the evil god. Li En knew that Auglas was not the emperor chosen by the god Tiger, and Soraya, who allowed Auglas to be crowned, was actually one of his own.
Secrets and leverage are the keys to building close connections between people. Now the two are like old friends who have known each other for many years, and some of their interests are tied together.
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that I am the Lord of Greenshade Territory? Even if I cannot inherit my grandfather's dukedom, it is no pity for me. I love Greenshade Territory. If I am destined to never see this beautiful world in the future, at least let me stay in a familiar place to grow old."
Li En raised his glass and said with a smile.
"Oh, don't let your eyesight hinder your ambition. In my opinion, you are completely different from those who are born blind. Maybe we can find a way to restore your sight."
Auglas said, "The Azure Dragon Court is said to be connected to the silent old continent. There are many secrets and treasures hidden there, waiting to be discovered."
"It's said that a mysterious gift appeared in the Azure Dragon Court that might be able to heal my eyes, but this is just a rumor."
Li En pretended to have only a vague understanding.
Augras knew that the Azure Dragon Court hid the Sequence 7 Azure Dragon Whip, but Sequence 7 could not restore a person's sight.
"Yes, the Azure Dragon Court hides many things we don't know. We must go there. If you are willing, you can follow Earl Hall to train. Don't waste your talent."
"Your Majesty, I heard someone mention me."
Earl Hall came over with Dorothy and sat on the sofa next to them.
Dorothy, who had finally gotten rid of those passionate pursuers, picked up the wine glass beside her, took a sip, then put it down gracefully and asked,
"Augus, what are you talking about?"
"Dorothy, I'm trying to persuade my new friend Li En to help me attack the Azure Dragon Court. Perhaps we can find a way to gain light there."
After Augustus finished speaking, he briefly introduced the three people.
"My Lord Earl, I believe that there is no one who has not heard of his name. Otherwise, you are not a native of the Holy Empire, but perhaps a barbarian from the Old World."
Augulas made a simple joke and continued,
"This is Lee En Moriah, whom you've all met in the Supreme Court. The beautiful lady next to me is Dorothy, the witch who has been living in the tower. She also invented the pumpkin carriage."
"Good evening, Count. It's an honor to meet you."
Earl Hall raised his brows slightly.
Watching Lee En Moriah and Dorothy pretend not to know each other, and then greet each other.
"Miss Hall, you are truly an amazing inventor. Although I haven't had the chance to ride in a pumpkin carriage or see the prosperous and beautiful city of Yalong, I really regret not meeting such an outstanding woman like you earlier."
"I've heard of you, too. Your rescue of Yusofa is something that everyone remembers vividly. It's a shame I didn't get to know a gentleman like you sooner."
Augustus listened to their polite words and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Dorothy was always polite, and Lien Moriah simply expressed ordinary admiration.
In addition, since Li En is blind, Augulas can allow them to get to know each other with confidence.
"Young people do need exercise."
Earl Hall glanced at Dorothy and changed the subject, "But the Azure Dragon Court isn't a good place for training. It's too mysterious and dangerous, suitable only for explorers and true soldiers, not for the blind. If I find a way to restore my sight there, I'll give it to you free of charge. Young man, there's no need to rush to gain military merit."
Auglas paused, "My Lord, I thought you were here to help me persuade Li En. He has the Explosive Troops attribute and will be a powerful assistant to you."
"is it?"
Earl Hall changed his tone and said, "Young man, come with me to the Azure Dragon Court. You are not suitable to stay in the imperial capital. After all, you won't be able to see any scenery."
Augulas covered his forehead with one hand, feeling that if Earl Hall continued to speak, Li En would definitely refuse to go to the Azure Dragon Court.
"Dad, you're really doing more harm than good."
Dorothy shook her head and sighed, "Sir Li En Moriah, can you let me see your eyes?"
"of course."
Li En nodded slightly.
Dorothy observed Li En's eyes closely, which aroused Auglas's vigilance.
Dorothy finally shook her head and sat back down, and Augulas breathed a sigh of relief.
For some reason, Augulas didn't want Li En to regain his sight at this time.
"I'm sorry, this is a curse from the evil god. My magic can't cure it unless I find a power that matches the evil god's power to combine this curse."
Dorothy said.
"Thank you, I've given up hope."
Li En knew there was a way to restore his sight, but he knew it was not the right time.
Debt was no longer a reason for him to reject Augustus, only disability could be.
If he remained disabled, Augulas would not be able to force him onto the battlefield by force or convince him, so he had to give up.
You can't force a blind man to go to the battlefield for you. This is immoral, even if the blind man is very good.
“It’s a pity.”
Auguras sighed and said, "Since you are unwilling to go to the Azure Dragon Court, why not stay in the Imperial Capital and continue to stay in the Holy See."
The young king will not forget what Li En said before. Only by supporting his own people to become the new Pope can Augustus's future be smooth.
He needs Li En to fulfill his promise. Since you don't go to fight, you must go to the Vatican for further studies.
Li En looked at Auglas in embarrassment. "If I want to stay in the Vatican, I lack the strength to protect myself. Compared to continuing in the capital, I would rather return to my hometown, continue studying theology, and come back after becoming a special believer."
Augustus knew what Li En meant, and he was afraid of persecution from the Pope.
His talent is too outstanding, and he was not trained by the Pope since childhood. Having such a person around is like a time bomb.
How could the Pope just let it go?
If Li En enters the Vatican, he will indeed encounter new dangers.
Auglas rapped his knuckles. "It seems you're determined to return to Greenshade Territory first."
"Augus, the topics you guys are talking about are so boring. Let's talk about the latest news, except for the one about Mr. Li En Moriah."
Dorothy suddenly changed the subject, which helped Li En out of the predicament.
Earl Hall picked up the newspaper on the table and glanced at it casually.
"There's the latest report about Blue Moon Territory. Oh, Mary will be furious when she sees it."
"What did you say?"
Li En asked curiously.
"You would never imagine that a little-known figure, Alex Poole, led the Blue Moon Territory to victory over the Rose Army led by Glennan Doyle, reclaiming four-fifths of the Blue Moon Territory. Now the two armies are deadlocked, with neither fighting nor negotiations. I wonder what they're waiting for."
Earl Hall said with interest, "Oh, it seems the Simmons family is also involved. This little guy actually got their help. It's really impressive. The young people in the empire are getting better and better."
"Perhaps he is waiting for the outcome of the trial of Catherine and Mary."
Li En said with a smile.
This result was within his expectations. Glennan Doyle was a man who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and wanted to gild his reputation. He was conceited and arrogant and would never sacrifice himself for Mary. He would never be a match for Alex Poole who was fighting a desperate battle.
Alex Poole possessed extraordinary courage and great diplomatic skills. He gained the support of the Simmons family and turned the tide of the war.
"It's really surprising."
Auglas also became interested. "Being able to convince the Simmons family, this Alex Poole is indeed a talent."
"You don't want him to join the coalition again, do you? This coalition is already quite a ragtag group. It will take me some time to reorganize them."
Earl Hall looked at Augustus in embarrassment.
Augulas smiled and waved his hand. "Alright, my Lord Earl, I won't interfere with you. Since you are the commander-in-chief, how you use your men is entirely up to you."
"Then please stop stuffing those nobles into my ranks."
Earl Hall was helpless. He had received many lists of noble sons who wanted to join the war. Although these guys also followed the way of chivalry, they were just show-offs. They might be okay for chasing girls and winning the favor of the opposite sex, but they were worthless on the battlefield.
Besides, they had all duelled for Dorothy, and to be precise, they couldn't even please a girl.
If Earl Hall allowed them to be injured or killed in battle, there was no guarantee that he would not be gossiped about by the nobles when he returned.
But if I keep protecting them, I will have to act as a temporary babysitter.
This was not the result he wanted, he was really not good at dealing with young people.
He really wanted to have a smart and capable assistant who could help him take care of these older children.
Unfortunately, the blind Li En was obviously unwilling to go to the battlefield, and Alex Poole was just a little-known figure who had just been heard of in the newspaper, and was not worthy of being his deputy.
Earl Hall's eldest son, like Grand Duke Moria's sons, serves as a lord outside and has a lot of things to deal with, so he is unable to help his old father.
"Haha." Augulas could only cover up Earl Hall's words with an awkward smile.
He didn't care about the life or death of those noble boys. Who made them always want to show off in front of Dorothy?
These guys who can't see the situation clearly should be sent for training.
"Is Miss Catherine, the Lord of Blue Moon Territory, still imprisoned in the Black Tower of the Holy See?"
Dorothy then asked.
Auglas said, "Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, her trial will be held in five days, but it shouldn't attract that many people."
"That's not necessarily true. Catherine is still Lee En Moriah's fiancée, so the attention will still be very high."
Earl Hall said this with a sour tone, his eyes turning to Li En.
Fortunately, Li En can't see it and doesn't need to bear the pressure of his future father-in-law.
Earl Hall had come to Li En's ball this time to find a chance to talk to him alone and find out when he would finally break off his engagement with Catherine of the Blue Moon Territory. Otherwise, how could the Imperial Rose use him to have a child? He couldn't be an unmarried mother, could he?
Earl Hall would never tolerate such a thing, and would not accept Li En playing two-timing.
Li En could already get a glimpse of something from Earl Hall's dissatisfied tone.
If Earl Hall knew that Catherine was pregnant first, he might even want to kill her.
Augulas felt that Earl Hall's tone was a little strange. Although he was suspicious by nature, he would never make any guesses in this regard, because he believed that Dorothy would never fall in love with a disabled person, and Earl Hall would never fall in love with a playboy. Li En Moria would never become his love rival, as he already had a fiancée.
"Li En, don't worry. Catherine will be fine. She's not been contaminated, nor has she done anything against her conscience. She can withstand the scrutiny and will be released soon. Besides, neither Catherine nor Lor will need to go through three trials like you did."
Grand Duke Moria had come over without me noticing.
He was very unhappy that this group of people surrounded his grandson but left him out.
Obviously, I am the one who should be celebrating with my grandson.
What were these people trying to steal? Especially Earl Hall, the old man. Although he had thanked him, he couldn't get any further. Could it be that he was attracted to his outstanding grandson?
"grandfather."
Li En stood up and smiled towards Grand Duke Moria.
Grand Duke Moria nodded with satisfaction and said, "I will take you home tomorrow to meet your brothers and sisters. Oh, mainly your older sisters."
The male members of the Moria family were driven to the North when they reached adulthood, and almost none of them stayed in the capital. This was also to preserve the foundation of the Creed family.
The more the king values Grand Duke Moria, the more careful Grand Duke Moria should be in striking a balance.
The same was true for Earl Hall, who was accompanied only by his daughter.
And their daughter is destined to get married, leaving them as complete empty-nesters.
Thinking of this, the two old rivals looked at each other with mutual sympathy, and then looked away with disdain.
"Okay, Grandpa. I can't wait to see them."
Li En pretended to be very excited, but in fact he didn't want to interact with his sisters at all.
He is not in the mood to deal with his girlfriend right now.
After Catherine's trial is over, he will take Catherine away.
He even wanted Dorothy to postpone having children, because releasing the blood in her body could also relieve her symptoms. If this method could be used to delay it until Catherine gave birth, it would be perfect.
Whatever the reason, Li En didn't want to leave Catherine with the traumatic memory of cheating during pregnancy, which would bring their love to an end.
Although Li En cannot guarantee that Catherine is the only one in his heart, he must give Catherine and the mother and child enough sense of security. This is the bottom line.
He was grateful for everything Dorothy had done for him and would fulfill his duties as a debtor, but he also wanted to fight for the opportunity to protect Catherine.
Li En didn't want to have to choose between having his cake and eating it too.
"It's rare that the Jackson family can still protect the Blue Moon Territory. Oh, was there a problem with the witch sent by the Guardian Bureau last time? I heard that she betrayed us at the last minute. How did she deal with it?"
Augustus asked, holding his chin with one hand.
The two important ministers were there, making him feel as if he had returned to the office from the ball.
"Oh, the Fire Witch Fenna Barbosa has been sent back to the Guardian Bureau. They will investigate her internally, but I doubt she will be punished too severely because people from the Vatican also participated in the battle, and they all sided with Mary."
Grand Duke Moria said.
"Anyway, since Catherine is Li En's fiancée, we should replace the Blue Moon Territory's guardian witch with a new one and investigate her background. Don't let her be associated with Mary anymore."
Augulas said this deliberately to express his appreciation for Li En.
Li En is now his key training target.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li En thanked him sincerely.
Things like arranging witches were not really something he could decide, but since Auglas was so generous, he might as well go with the flow.
"Dorothy, may I have the honor of asking you to dance?"
After Augustus dealt with these trivial matters, his relationship with Li En was further improved. He didn't intend to continue wasting time on this man. He walked towards Dorothy and extended his hand gentlemanly.
Dorothy shook her head. "If I dance with you, many people will come to ask me to dance, and then I won't be able to refuse with the same excuse."
Augustus was very distressed about the fact that his childhood sweetheart was too popular.
If Dorothy was just an average-looking girl, perhaps he wouldn't have this concern.
"Sometimes beauty is also a kind of shackle, isn't it?"
"You are blaming my handsome father. If I hadn't inherited his perfect genes, I wouldn't be so beautiful."
Earl Hall's old face flushed with great relief.
"Dorothy, you are not allowed to praise me like this in front of His Majesty the King. It will embarrass His Majesty the King."
King Augulas rolled his eyes and said, "Uncle Hall, you are very old now. Don't even think about being more handsome than me. It's impossible."
"Old Hall is becoming more and more shameless."
Grand Duke Moria scoffed.
Earl Hall narrowed his eyes. "Speaking of old, is there anyone here older than Grand Duke Moria?"
"When I was young, I was known as the most handsome man in the empire."
Grand Duke Moria said without hesitation.
When he and Hall were together, they couldn't help but bicker, and their mentality became younger. They were like two old naughty boys.
"I believe this statement. You can tell by looking at Li En. If he hadn't been cursed by the evil god, I'm sure more than half of the girls in the royal city would want to marry him."
Auglas complimented.
"The premise is that Li En Moriah doesn't want to give every woman a home like his grandfather did."
Earl Hall said sarcastically that as a man who was emotionally loyal, he could not stand men like Old Moria who had multiple mistresses.
But people like Hall are a minority. Those nobles who have mistresses admire handsome men like Grand Duke Moria. They even slander Earl Hall behind his back, thinking that he doesn't like women at all. This undoubtedly deepens the conflict between Hall and Grand Duke Moria.
"I'm not that promiscuous. I only like women I like."
Grand Duke Moria said a very classic statement, which is really suitable to represent scumbag men.
"It's just that you like too many women."
"I'm glad to see that Dad and Uncle Moriah are still getting along so well. The sound of your passionate arguments can almost make everyone at the ball turn their heads. I hope you can keep up the energy like this so that the reporters won't be short of headlines tomorrow."
Dorothy said politely.
There were indeed many reporters at the ball, all of them female reporters.
They are dressed gorgeously, and the difference between them and aristocratic women may be the difference in jewelry.
Noble girls have no shortage of jewelry, but if reporters want to buy a decent piece of jewelry, they have to rent it from a jewelry store.
"Well, we shouldn't discuss who is more handsome in this kind of situation."
Lord Hall chose to follow his daughter's advice. He was a daughter slave. He would accept whatever Dorothy said.
Grand Duke Moria also sat next to his grandson, patted Li En's shoulder and said,
"Yes, Li En is undoubtedly the most handsome man of this era, and Catherine is undoubtedly the happiest woman. My child, when do you plan to marry Catherine?"
"Cough cough."
Earl Hall started coughing. On the one hand, he felt that Old Moriah was shameless to a certain extent, and on the other hand, he really wanted to interrupt the old man.
"Oh, are you infected with the plague? It's very rude to cough in public."
Grand Duke Moria looked at Earl Hall with disdain.
Earl Hall rolled his eyes. "Li En, you should remember that Green Shade Territory still owes the Imperial Bank a debt, right?"
"remember."
"That's good. As the largest shareholder of the Imperial Bank, I need to talk to you about your installment payment."
Earl Hall finally found an excuse to chat with Li En alone.
"Anyone want a magic bubble?"
Dorothy asked.
Both Auguras and Grand Duke Moria were very supportive.
At this time, Li En suspected that Grand Duke Moria was also in debt, otherwise why would he shrink his neck when he heard about his debt problem.
This is exactly the same as Lao Deng, they are indeed his relatives.
In fact, Grand Duke Moria did encounter some debt crisis because a mysterious entrance was discovered in the north that required large-scale resources to explore.
Grand Duke Moria has sold part of his assets to support his eldest son.
"Although I haven't tasted it, it sounds delicious. Please, Miss Hall, leave me a glass anyway."
Li En said as he stood up.
Dorothy nodded slightly, "Okay."
Li En followed Earl Hall to a small room in the manor to chat about the debt issue.
"Lean Moriah, when will you propose to Dorothy?"
Earl Hall didn't want to exchange pleasantries with Li En at all and asked directly.
Li En was stunned. He never expected that his future father-in-law would ask such a fatal question right from the start.
Augustus is still at the ball!
Did Earl Hall think that Augustus could tolerate Dorothy being married to another man? Or was he confident that he could keep this son-in-law?
Even if he really wanted to, he had to consider his current situation.
"Don't worry about His Majesty the King. He does like Dorothy, but if Dorothy had told him in person, I believe he would have respected her choice, just like me. At least, he wouldn't have done anything to you openly. Dorothy and I can protect you from any harm. Besides, that old man treats you like a treasure right now and wouldn't have the heart to see you come to any harm. You have the support of two major Creed families. You don't have to be afraid of anyone."
Earl Hall said this with a serious expression, as if he could see Li En's fear.
Normal people would be afraid.
But what Li En was most worried about was not Augustus' feelings, but Catherine's feelings.
Catherine's situation was too special. Not only was she pregnant, but her only relative in the world, Lor, had also been murdered. If he proposed to Dorothy at this time without caring about her dignity, she might not be able to bear the blow.
After decades of being influenced by modern thinking, Li En doesn't think there are any women who are really willing to share their lover. No matter how generous they are, it is just a pretense.
"I'm incredibly lucky to be chosen by Miss Hall. Unfortunately, I met Catherine first. Not long ago, she lost most of her family overnight due to the Witch of Disease going out of control. She only has her brother, Lor, left. And now Lor seems to be in trouble too. I can't abandon her at this time."
Li En said sincerely.
Count Hall thought of the recent battle in Blue Moon Territory and believed that the orphan girl of the Jackson family had indeed suffered a lot of setbacks.
"Well, at least this proves you have some sense of responsibility. So how long do you plan to wait? You can't spend your whole life healing poor women. You need to have your own life too."
Hearing Earl Hall's tone soften, Li En decided to play the emotional card.
"My Lord, Dorothy is an exceptional woman. Even though I'm blind, I can still sense her brilliance. When I'm with her, I often feel inferior."
"This is normal. The first time I saw the love of my life, I also felt inferior because my first love had left a psychological shadow on me. I felt that I didn't deserve perfect love, but the facts proved me wrong. We always feel inferior when facing our loved ones. Inferiority is a good quality that ensures that love can last forever. It allows us to always see the strengths of our loved ones, praise them, reflect on ourselves, and constantly improve ourselves."
Earl Hall shared his decades of love experience, which surprised Li En slightly.
“Uncle Hall, this only proves that you love your lover deeply, and your essence is not inferiority, but self-confidence. You respect her and are willing to keep working hard to change for her.”
Earl Hall was very pleased with Li En's praise.
Li En also quietly changed the name of the Earl to Uncle Hall to increase the closeness between the two.
"Yes, I am proud in my heart. I believe you are proud too. You are from the Moria family."
Count Hall thought of the arrogant face of Grand Duke Moria and couldn't help but want to complain, but he had important things to do now and had to maintain his image as an elder in front of the younger generations.
"No, Dorothy's excellence has already put pressure on me. Perhaps it's because I'm blind that I feel even more inferior. I don't think I'm worthy of spending the rest of my life with such a legendary woman...
"I'm actually not like my father. I'm more like my mother, Daisy. My mother and my father met when they were very young. At that time, my father was kicked out of the family by my grandfather and had nothing. My mother stayed with him, loved him deeply, and was willing to give everything for him. But when he had everything and was shining brightly, many younger and more beautiful women appeared around him. My mother felt very inferior. She took me away from my father and lived quietly in a remote town. We never saw my father again after that.
"My mother told me that when she was with my father, she was constantly jealous of the beautiful and outstanding women around him. Jealousy made her look completely different and she couldn't feel any happiness. When she was away from my father, she felt extremely relaxed because she was so ordinary. She liked ordinary life and her true self. True love always makes people confused."
Li En slowly told the story of himself and his mother, which moved Earl Hall slightly.
"But you are not ordinary, and your mother would be proud of you."
"Yes, perhaps compared to others, I am not ordinary. I was even lucky enough to achieve the status of Silver Follower and was favored by angels. But compared to Dorothy, everyone is inferior. She is already the most remarkable witch at such a young age. I cannot compare with her. In front of her, everyone is ordinary. Once I give my true heart to someone, I am very afraid that I will be like my mother, Daisy, jealous of every outstanding person who appears around her, expecting her to fully respond to my love, becoming humble and twisted in love, and completely losing myself."
Li En looked at Earl Hall with great sincerity.
Although he was blind, his blue eyes were still clear.
Earl Hall couldn't help but think of his past experiences, and the time when he was crazy about his first love Selena.
He saw his own shadow in Li En.
Combined with what Li En did in the Evil God incident, Earl Hall believed that Li En had surpassed most of the young nobles in the empire.
Perhaps my standards are too high. There is simply no one in this world who is perfect enough to match Dorothy.
Li En is already a good candidate.
"Li En, I admit that I didn't think highly of you at first. If Dorothy hadn't insisted on choosing you, I wouldn't even want to say a word to the Moriah family. But now I feel that Dorothy's choice might be right. You are a child with sincere feelings.
"The only problem between you and Dorothy is actually a matter of time. Catherine showed up too early, and Dorothy showed up too late. But you and Catherine haven't gotten married yet, so there's still time for everything.
"My child, I must tell you that first love is not everything in your life. When you open your heart, you will find that the happiness you thought you could never get is right in front of you."
"Dorothy is just as afraid of true love as you are. Since she chose you, I hope you can heal her, not just give her a child and let her plunge into endless magical research. Magic is not life. She also needs love and family like a normal woman."
Earl Hall reached out and patted Li En on the shoulder. "Although you are blind, your heart is extremely clear. I believe you can heal Dorothy."
"Uncle Hall, why is Dorothy afraid of true love?"
"This is all my fault. I loved her mother too much. After her mother died, I fell into a low point in my life for a long time. I was confused and at a loss. I even thought about leaving this world with her. Later, Dorothy used magic to heal me, but she never wanted love again after that. She was afraid that one day she would become like me, and that her lover would leave her first. Although she looked strong on the surface, she was actually the child I had always protected. She was very fragile.
"She once told me in person that with her talent, she could live for at least 500 years, or even longer. But if no one could live with her for 500 years, she would be doomed to suffer the pain of losing her loved one."
Earl Hall said sadly, "I really hope someone can change her pessimistic thoughts. I don't want her to be alone all her life."
