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

Chapter 193: The Old Continent and the New World ( words updated, please subscribe)
“The gates of heaven are more tempting than the gates of hell.”

The Gate of Hell and the Gate of Heaven are both passages that lead to mysterious and unknown areas in this world, and both contain infinite opportunities and possibilities.

The gates of hell lead to ancient ruins and tombs. You need to face the challenge of the undead and pass through the maze of hell to get valuable rewards and resources.

The Gate of Heaven leads to the Old World, a continent that once had a glorious civilization, but later turned into a desecrated land where evil gods roamed everywhere. After the catastrophe of the evil gods, Tiger baptized the place and completely hid the Old World. After countless years, there was no trace of evil gods or humans there, and it became a place where endless treasures were buried. Legend has it that there are lands hundreds of times more vast than the New World, as well as clean and unpolluted oceans.

Most importantly, it is said that there are legendary knights in the Old World. If Grand Duke Moria can obtain the inheritance of these legendary knights, he will have the hope of breaking through the shackles of the seven-star order knight and entering the eight-star or even legendary level.

Both the Gate of Hell and the Gate of Heaven are extremely precious resources, but they are also extremely dangerous. If you don't have enough strength, it's best not to explore them.

The Moria family has developed to the point where it has accumulated sufficient strength.

Li En knew that the Eye of the Past was also in the North, which meant that the North was hiding many secrets.

"All of our family's resources have been used to explore this entrance, so I can't repay your debt. I hope you can marry Catherine, and I also have financial considerations."

Grand Duke Moria was very frank with Li En, which was also a kind of trust.

But it also sent out a message that Grand Duke Moria was not as loyal as he appeared. At least Augulas was not aware of the entrance to the north yet.

Grand Duke Moria hopes that the entrance will become the private property of the Moria family.

Perhaps Grand Duke Moria has long been tired of living without his family by his side, and tired of the fact that the Moria family can only defend the harsh northern border.

Even though the retainers recalled the past and praised the North for what it was like, they were still sent back to the capital after they became seriously injured and ill.

The environment in the North is cruel. Even though there are high walls and witches in the North, there must be the knights and warriors of the Moria family. The probability of war is higher than anywhere else.

Grand Duke Moria once hoped that his illegitimate son Jack Moria would take root in the South and marry into the Jackson family. He also had the idea of ​​letting the descendants of the Moria family move to the South.

As a result, Jack Moriah shattered his fantasy and stayed in the Green Shade Territory.

In addition, Jack Moriah did not listen to his advice and insisted on taking control of the Eye of the Future. This made Grand Duke Moriah completely disappointed in his son and directly severed his relationship with Jack.

He used to like Jack's mother very much, and he also liked the innocent and cute Jack when he was a child.

Fortunately, this child who always disappointed herself finally gave birth to such an outstanding child like Li En.

Grand Duke Moria now has new choices. The children no longer need to go to the south. They can go to the Old World and the New World!

If Li En is willing to stay with him, he only needs to train for a few years and then he can go explore the new world with his uncle.

"Li En, do you know why I brought you to this study?"

Grand Duke Moria asked.

"You hope that I will become as good a person as my ancestors."

Li En could only say this, you can't say you want me to inherit the family business, right?
It is extremely inappropriate for an illegitimate child of an illegitimate child to say this.

Compared to inheriting the Moria family's huge fortune, it might be more reasonable to train him to become a candidate for Pope.

Grand Duke Moria nodded slightly, "So, stay. Stay with me. Or accept the invitation of the Guardian Bureau and stay in the capital."

"You also don't approve of me going to the Vatican's seminary?"

"That's a waste of your talent. You should follow the path of chivalry like me."

Grand Duke Moria had no intention of making Li En a candidate for Pope.

Li En discovered that the old man seemed to be really determined and wanted to train him to become the next generation heir of the Moria family.

There is no way. His talent is too dazzling. I am afraid that among his peers, or even a few generations above and a generation below, Grand Duke Moria has never met a person as talented as Li En.

Li En's realm has reached a bottleneck recently. Because he is in the royal capital and under the surveillance of the Holy See, he has not cleared the entries for a long time.

Item points also stagnated. Redeeming for the next level of items would require another city-wide crisis.

Grand Duke Moria felt that he had been frank enough in what he said, and Li En should have let go of his grudge by now.

Then it was time for him to ask Li En some questions involving Li En's secrets.

"Li En, you said before that you made a deal with the evil god [Eye of Doom], promising to turn Mary into a Museum of Doom and sacrifice her to him. What will you do if you can't do it?"

Grand Duke Moria's expression turned serious.

"Grandpa, actually, He doesn't just want Mary now, He also wants my first child. He's a greedy and shameless fellow. I don't plan to continue trading with Him. I guess He might list me as His number one target for revenge and let those with [Misfortune Constitution] seek revenge on me. [Misfortune Constitution] is the only existence He can influence in reality, and His projection will be hidden in these people's subconscious."

Li En said truthfully.

Grand Duke Moria was slightly surprised, both because of the essence of the words and because of Li En's calmness.

Li En had offended two evil gods! Yet, he wasn't worried at all! He was still able to face it so calmly.

Even the evil god's revenge method was thought of.

"He wants your first child?"

"Yes. To be more precise, He wanted Dorothy and I's first child. He hoped to come into being through this child. Perhaps He received some strange inspiration from Abel, which made Him no longer content with only influencing other people's subconscious minds."

Li En said slowly.

"He is delusional!"

Grand Duke Moria said angrily.

This evil god not only wants his great-grandson, but also wants Li En and Dorothy's child.

In the eyes of Grand Duke Moria, these two children are the most talented and outstanding children of this era.

Their children will inevitably become legends.

Wait? Grand Duke Moria seemed to realize he had been led astray.

He raised his brows slightly, "What is your relationship with Dorothy?"

Considering that Earl Hall would talk about this matter with Grand Duke Moria in the future, Li En might as well confess it.

"Actually, I was able to be rescued this time thanks to Dorothy. Dorothy asked her father to help me determine the list of the three bishops for the Final Judgment. It was also Dorothy who helped me kill the Divine Eye, preventing my entry from being exposed."

"Why would Dorothy help you?"

"Because...she wants to marry me."

It was a bit shameless for Li En to say this.

90% of all men in the country dream of marrying Dorothy.

But Lee En said Dorothy wanted to marry him.

Grand Duke Moria felt that even if he was 40 years younger, he would not be as shameless as Li En.

"Dorothy wants to marry you after only meeting you a few times? Are you kidding me?"

"Actually, she wanted to marry me before she even met me. She wanted to be my fiancée. This story started with my father and the witch crisis in Green Shade Territory..."

"My father wanted to find a witch who would never lose control to protect the Green Shade Territory. He also wanted me to give birth to a child who would never be cursed, so he thought of Dorothy. He offered the Eye of the Future as a betrothal gift, hoping to impress the Hall family.

"Dorothy's magic is on the verge of getting out of control. She needs to have a child to alleviate the fact that she has too much magic stored. She needs to find a man to marry.

“They hit it off right away and felt I was the perfect fit.

"Because I don't need Dorothy to be responsible, and Dorothy doesn't need to be responsible to me. We can get married and have children, but we don't need to be in love.

"Dorothy will be reborn, and I'll have a child who will never be cursed. Dorothy can also work part-time as a witch guarding the Green Shade Territory. Oh, I'm afraid she can't do that. Her father has been deceived by her. She actually just wants to study magic freely."

After hearing Li En's explanation, Grand Duke Moria was very angry.

Because it was such a big deal, Jack actually made the decision without telling her.

But he was also very happy. If Dorothy and Li En only had a simple business relationship and Dorothy was really willing to give birth to a grandson for him, then the Moria family would definitely not lose out.

This wave is a huge profit.

Who wouldn't want Dorothy's baby?

Only a fool wouldn't think about it.

But this will definitely offend Augulas and cause his most crazy revenge.

Grand Duke Moria knew what Augustus felt for Dorothy. He liked Dorothy, but also wanted to use her as a tool.

She would never tolerate any man touching Dorothy.

"Where have you and Dorothy reached?"

Grand Duke Moria asked.

"A close friend."

Li En said.

Although he didn't know whether Dorothy considered him a friend, he felt very relaxed and happy when he was with Dorothy, which undoubtedly meant they were friends.

Besides, the two of them have had many intimate physical contacts. If they are not even friends, then are they py?
Grand Duke Moria suddenly discovered that his grandson's charm had caught up with his own when he was young.

"Imperial law allows you to marry two wives, but you must decide who to marry first. This will affect the division of your property later."

"Grandpa, I don't think I need to worry about the division of property, because no matter who they are, they are much richer than me."

Li En said truthfully that he was actually still a poor guy in debt, and how could he be compared with the two rich ladies in the empire.

When Grand Duke Moria heard what Li En said, he suddenly felt depressed.

If the Moria family had not invested all their money in the future, how could they let their grandson suffer like this?

Uh, it doesn’t seem like I’m angry.

What's wrong with marrying a rich wife?

"But I would definitely marry Catherine first."

"why?"

Grand Duke Moria did not think that Dorothy was worse than Catherine, although he also agreed that Li En should marry Catherine.

"Katherine is pregnant. She needs a wedding before her belly gets really big."

Li En said frankly.

Grand Duke Moria suddenly thought of his first wife, whose wedding was also brought forward because she had a child out of wedlock.

He is worthy of being my grandson.

"Okay, tell me what Catherine needs, and the Moriah family will do their best to satisfy her."

Grand Duke Moria was very pleased that he would soon have a great-grandson, and that he would be Li En's bloodline.

Even if Li En doesn't want to be the head of the family at that time, he can train his great-grandson to be the head of the family.

He believed that Li En's child would not have bad genes.

After all, he was already a six-star Glory Knight at such a young age, and his child was born a four-star Glory Knight.

Unlike Grand Duke Moria, who was a late bloomer, only one or two of his sons were born three-star Glory Knights. By the time his grandchildren came of age, they could only start as one-star knights.

"Aren't you worried about the demonic curse?"

Li En suddenly asked.

"It should be in time to do the entry test after the baby is born, right?"

Li En smiled slightly and said, "It should be in time."

Grand Duke Moria breathed a sigh of relief. After hearing what Li En said, he was actually a little worried.

"I will ask Katherine what she needs. She deserves the best."

Li En was not worried that Catherine would ask for millions or tens of millions in dowry, because Catherine was not short of money. What she lacked was the power to protect the family wealth.

After marrying Li En, Catherine will undoubtedly gain this power.

The Moria family will be her strong backing, and no one will be able to covet the Blue Moon Mine in the future.

"Catherine is a good girl. You must learn to cherish her."

Grand Duke Moria elegantly picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.
"I actually admire old Hall. He was able to love only one woman from beginning to end. Such love must be passionate. But the men of our Moria family will never understand. Compared to exclusive love, we prefer passion and excitement, novelty and challenge."

"Grandpa, don't you hate Earl Hall?"

"Of course, I also hate his hypocrisy."

Grand Duke Moria handed the coffee on the table to Li En, "It won't taste good if it gets cold."

Li En picked up the coffee and took a sip. "It tastes very good."

"You're lying. I can tell from your expression that you don't like the taste."

"Well, this is a bit bitter for me."

Li En smiled awkwardly.

"Li En, I have another question that has been bothering me."

"You say."

"Ice Witch Sophie has been serving for over five years. Why hasn't she lost control yet? She even appeared in Yusofa, trying to destroy the final purification formation. Is she also a special witch like Dorothy?"

Grand Duke Moria asked.

Even if he didn't ask this question, I believe that when Li En was invited to the Security Bureau soon, he would be asked by the director of the Security Bureau.

Li En decided to think of a countermeasure now. He said to Grand Duke Moria,
"Witches can evolve."

Grand Duke Moria had never heard of this view before and showed due curiosity.

"evolution?"

"Yes, that's what Sophie told me. She was about to lose control once when I first became a lord, but she overcame it with her strong willpower. She felt the magic channel in her body expand from one to two. This is evolution, the evolution of a witch. After a witch evolves, she can use magic for longer periods of time and her lifespan increases. It's a bit like Dorothy, but Dorothy was born a special witch, while Sophie evolved later in life."

Li En lowered his voice and said, "Please don't tell anyone else. This is Sophie's secret."

"This is really amazing. I never thought you would have such talented people around you. Maybe it's true that great people always come together."

Grand Duke Moria sighed,

"This matter is of great significance to the Guardian Bureau. I believe that if they knew this point of view, they would be more cautious in deploying witches, and your life in the Guardian Bureau would be smooth sailing."

"But Sophie will be recalled to the Guardian Bureau, right?"

Li En suddenly thought that it would be better to let Sophie fake her death to prevent the people from the Guardian Bureau from bringing her back for slices and research. Those wise men can do anything.

"Yes, even if the Guardians know nothing, Sophie, a special case, will be recalled. In the past, it was because you were not valued, but now you are very valued. It is impossible for the Guardians not to arrange a new witch to go to the Green Shade Territory."

Grand Duke Moria said.

The heartfelt conversation between the grandfather and grandson lasted until very late. At 2 a.m., Li En left his grandfather's study, and Annie was waiting outside the door.

The study was well soundproofed, and Li En could guarantee that Annie didn't hear anything.

Li En's bedroom was arranged on the second floor of Alexburg. He walked up the spiral staircase and saw Aunt Kelly who had not yet rested in the back garden through the floor-to-ceiling stained glass.

Kelly just happened to turn around and saw Li En.

For some reason, Kelly always felt that Li En seemed to be able to see.

Li En pretended that he saw nothing and continued to walk up with Annie's support.

The night passed peacefully.

The next day, Li En washed and changed his clothes luxuriously, surrounded by servants.

This is the first time since Li En was a child that he has enjoyed the wake-up service of more than 10 people.

They were all young and beautiful maids, but Li En couldn't see them at all.

Anne originally wanted to stop these women from stealing her job, but they didn't let Anne go either. They beat her up from head to toe, making her look like a real aristocratic girl.

Anne never expected that she would enjoy such treatment in her lifetime.

"You are not a maid now, you are Master Li En's retainer."

A young maid reminded.

Only then did Annie put away her surprise and accepted it all calmly.

It feels good to be served.

"Master Li En, Miss Annie, please come this way."

The maids brought Li En and Annie to the dining room, where a delicious breakfast was already laid out on the long table.

Grand Duke Moriah, Kelly, Angelina, Diane, and Parker were already waiting.

They got up earlier than Li En.

Anne was taken to the exclusive area for retainers by servants and did not dine with the Moria family. This was also etiquette.

"Good morning, Lee En."

Kelly said gently that she hoped Li En didn't see her private meeting with the knight in the garden last night.

"Good morning, Aunt Kelly."

Li En hopes that Kelly will not focus on him. No matter how many knights she meets in private, Li En doesn't care.

The lives of noble women were always colorful, especially in the capital, known as the city that never sleeps. Many noble women, like men, enjoyed going to the Red Theater for entertainment. What was the point of hanging out with knights? There were even many who had group sex with actors.

Li En is a man who has seen the world, but he is not so conservative as to ask his aunt not to go to nightclubs or flirt with handsome knights.

"Good morning, brother."

Diane said excitedly that now she looks forward to seeing her handsome young hero brother Li En every time she wakes up.

"Brother, good morning." Parker said dejectedly. What happened yesterday had dealt a heavy blow to his confidence.

But Li En has always believed that it is nothing to let the young man accept some insignificant setbacks. This is also a kind of experience in life. If he always goes smoothly, he will not know how to deal with it when the real setbacks come.

So Li En didn't try to comfort him, but instead talked about today's news with his cousins ​​Diane and Angelina.

"Brother, your maid, oh no, your retainer, Miss Anne, has become very popular. I saw her photo on the front page of Beauty News today. The dress in the photo is so beautiful. I heard that she opened a company that specializes in customizing high-end clothing. Can you help me make a suit?"

Diane handed the newspaper to Li En and blinked her bright eyes. "I want to be one of her first clients."

"of course can."

Li En felt that Annie should recruit a group of tailors, otherwise she would not be able to handle it all by herself, because her orders would only increase in the future.

"Thank you, brother."

Dai An said contentedly.

"I want one too."

Angelina said shyly.

"no problem."

Li En took the initiative to agree on behalf of Annie.

This breakfast was a pleasant one except that there were too many tablewares needed, which made the blind Li En a little flustered.

……

Cathedral of St. Lucas.

Black Tower.

When Catherine woke up, she saw the letter Li En left for her.

Dear Catherine,
When I came to see you last night, I noticed something wasn't right with Lor, so I examined him. He'd been in contact with Grace for too long, and had been contaminated by Abel. But don't worry, I used a special method to rid him of the contamination. He just needs to sleep for a while. If you wake up and find Lor still drowsy, don't worry. In this state, even if he were to appear in court, no problems would be detected.

After reading the letter, she placed it on the candlestick and lit it.

As the white paper fell to the ground and turned into ashes, Catherine's brows gradually furrowed.

She was very worried that she had also been contaminated, and the mumbling that often appeared in her ears was Abel.

If it was Abel, would the child in her belly be like Grace's? It shouldn't have come into this world.

But the people in the church had clearly checked her and Lor beforehand and found no signs of contamination.

If this pollution does not have an incubation period, then Li En is lying.

Catherine couldn't think of any reason why Li En would lie to her, so the only option was the former.

This made her inexplicably irritated. She pushed over all the candlesticks on the table, and even overturned the breakfast brought by the servant of God, which was scattered all over the floor.

No mother is willing to accept the fact that her child will bring disaster to the world. If the child is not a demon but an evil god, Catherine doesn't know what to do.

If it is an evil god, it must be able to mislead me and prevent me from seeing the essence of the entry.

Otherwise, why didn't Grace realize it until she was completely controlled by the evil god?
Li En happened to see this scene when he entered Catherine's room through the window.

This was the first time he saw his gentle fiancée lose her temper.

"Catherine, what's wrong?"

"Leen, I'm worried I'll be the next Grace."

When Catherine saw Li En, she immediately threw herself into his arms.

"Okay, you must have seen the letter I left and misunderstood. Although Lor is contaminated, you are not. I can assure you 100% that our child has nothing to do with Abel. Don't worry."

"really?"

"Yes, don't you believe me?"

"Of course I believe you."

Catherine raised her eyes and looked at Li En, and found that he was dressed more traditionally and luxuriously than usual. It seemed that he might have been taken home by Grand Duke Moria.

Catherine didn't want to disturb Li En's happy time of reunion with his family. She felt that she should solve the problem of hearing the mumbling by herself, instead of bothering Li En with everything and involving him in other dangers.

Besides, as long as we ignore it, it shouldn't be dangerous, right?
"Catherine, I have two good news for you."

Lee En kissed Catherine's forehead.

"what?"

Katherine asked.

"The first good news is that four-fifths of the Blue Moon Territory has been recovered. You must thank my Foreign Minister Alex."

"Blue Moon Territory has not fallen, and we have even recovered four-fifths of its territory!"

Catherine said excitedly.

Li En nodded slightly, "Yes, I know you will be happy."

"This is so great!"

Catherine hugged Li En tightly and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, Foreign Minister Alex. Blue Moon Territory will never forget you. You are sent by God to save me."

"Catherine, there's another piece of good news."

Li En picked up Catherine and said with a smile, "Grandpa knows you are pregnant. He hopes we can get married as soon as possible. He said that no matter what you need, the Moria family will do its best to meet your needs."

At this moment, Catherine was undoubtedly happy.

Everything seems perfect except that the enemy Mary has not been brought down yet.

"As long as you're by my side, I don't want anything else."

Catherine lowered her head shyly.

Li En held her to the bedside and said, "That won't do. It will make our Moria family seem insincere. You must think carefully about what the Blue Moon Territory lacks."

Catherine was slightly stunned.

She thought back to the first time she met Li En.

This marriage was a deal from the very beginning. Li En saved Catherine and helped her become the lord of the Blue Moon Territory. Catherine married Li En and gave him half of the Blue Moon Mine.

She never thought that Li En would ask her what she wanted, as if this was not a transaction, but a normal marriage.

"You have fulfilled all your promises. I should marry you unconditionally."

Catherine said seriously.

"I don't want you to feel anything is missing, Catherine. This is more than just a transaction. This is the result of our true love for each other."

Li En reached out and gently stroked Catherine's cheek.

Catherine suddenly thought of Dorothy.

She remembered the shock she felt when Dorothy killed the Man with the Divine Eye in the Supreme Court.

Perhaps only Dorothy is worthy of Li En.

They are both born with talent and are a perfect match.

Li En had already given her a child, and she didn't want to ask for more.

Besides, her revenge has not yet been taken, and she and Mary are destined to be together to the death. She doesn't want to continue to involve Li En in these things.

She was unwilling to endure the pain of losing Li En again. Even if Li En was not by her side, it was enough to know that he was alive and living well.

"Thank you, Li En, thank you so much, thank you for your love."

Catherine grabbed Li En's hand, placed it in her palm, and gently pressed her lips against it. "I'm very lucky to have met you."

"Catherine, don't keep thanking me. There's no need for that between us. All you have to do now is eat well, sleep well, and take good care of your pregnancy. When the trial is over, I will take you away, cure your terminal illness, and we will get married."

Li En said with a smile.

"Li En, whether you will marry me or not, I will unconditionally donate half of Blue Moon Territory's Blue Moon Mine to Green Shade Territory."

"You deserve it," Katherine said.

"Catherine, why are you saying this suddenly?"

Li En noticed that his fiancée was in a low mood. Could it be the legendary fear of marriage?
"I just want to tell you that no matter whether we are husband and wife in the future, I will keep my promise and you don't need to worry about the finances."

Katherine said softly.

"Catherine, you don't want to get married, do you?"

Li En looked at her in confusion.

Catherine looked out the window with a sad expression, and happened to see two white doves flying side by side.

"I used to think that even if I wasn't your number one lover, I was at least a woman who could help you. The Jackson family's wealth could help Green Shade Territory out of its predicament, and I could stand by you regardless of everything when you were in danger. I felt we were destined to be together. But after going through all this, I realized that not only was I unable to help you, I was always dragging you down. You've lost your light, and your offspring are cursed. All of this is because of me, and yet I still want revenge. As I am, I'm no longer your most suitable fiancée."

"Katherine, I told you, you don't need to blame yourself for those things."

Li En persuaded.

"You know who the best person is for you, right?"

Tears glistened in Catherine's beautiful eyes. "You must know that she is superior to me in status, wealth, and talent. She is the one who can help you."

Li En's brows wrinkled slightly, he knew that Catherine was talking about Dorothy.

Perhaps it was because Catherine was pregnant and became very sensitive, or perhaps she had always had low self-esteem.

"Catherine, marriage is not about helping each other. If there is no love, then marriage is just a simple transaction."

"Then please look into my eyes and tell me, am I the one you love the most? If I am the one you love the most, I can give up all my worries and think that everything you do is as it should be. You should be so good to me, and I should enjoy your unconditional support and dedication."

Catherine held up Li En's face and asked seriously.

Li En was stunned.

He did love Catherine, but was he eager to marry her now out of love or out of responsibility?
When Catherine asked her if she loved her the most, the first person that flashed in Li En's mind was Sophie's face.

He hadn't seen Sophie for a long time. He wondered if she felt lonely or what she was doing now.

After just two or three seconds of hesitation, Catherine already knew the answer.

Catherine also knew who Li En was thinking about.

"The purpose of a deal is to benefit both parties and make them better. Since you have a way to improve yourself, why don't we change the terms of the deal? Cancel the engagement, and I will still give you half of the Blue Moon Mine in the Blue Moon Territory. I will also form an unbreakable alliance with the Green Shade Territory. I promise to never become your enemy."

Catherine kissed Li En passionately.

Li En seemed a little numb.

He must have been rejected by Catherine just now.

But he knew that the root cause was not Catherine, but himself.

"Catherine, you're just a little afraid of marriage right now. This is normal. I'll give you some time to think about it."

Li En let go of Catherine, turned around, and left the Black Tower through the window. If Soraya hadn't reminded him, he almost forgot to put on his invisibility cloak.

As soon as Li En returned to Grand Duke Moria's mansion, he was stopped by Annie.

"What's wrong, Annie?"

"Viscount Benjamin is here."

"Him? What is he doing here?"

Li En asked in surprise.

"Do you remember the noble girl who tried to get into your bed at the banquet the night before last?"

Anne asked.

Li En nodded slightly, "I have some impression, what's the matter?"

"She's missing."

Anne said with her head down.

She now regretted driving away the unruly noble girl in the middle of the night.

disappeared?
Li En frowned.

It seemed that Viscount Benjamin came to see her specifically because of this matter. After all, her daughter went to Castle Kelding to attend a banquet and never returned home.

After hearing the general outline of the incident, Li En entered the reception room and saw the well-dressed Viscount Benjamin.

The viscount looked younger than Jack Moriah and was a middle-aged gentleman.

"Mr. Li En, I am Val Benjamin."

"Hello, Viscount Benjamin, I am Lee En Moriah."

The two first introduced themselves politely but briefly before getting down to business.

Grand Duke Moria was not at home and therefore did not participate in the conversation.

"I want to know if Stella is with you?"

Benjamin asked.

Li En shook his head. "Miss Stella left Castle Kaden that night. I'm sorry I didn't have anyone escort her. Usually, nobles have knights and servants. I thought Miss Stella should also be escorted by someone from the Viscount's Mansion."

"Yes, I sent people to protect Stella. She had two bodyguards and a personal maid, but all of them came back, except her."

Benjamin sighed.

"Do they know Miss Stella's final whereabouts?"

Lee En asked.

Benjamin raised his eyes and looked at Li En with complicated expression.

"They said that Stella never left Castle Kaden at night, and Stella even told her maid that she would spend the night with you."

Li En frowned and said seriously,

"Viscount Benjamin, this matter not only concerns me, but also Miss Stella's reputation. Please be careful with your words."

"I know. I just want to ask you, Your Excellency, where Stella went."

Viscount Benjamin loved his daughter dearly and was a little anxious.

Although the security in the royal capital has always been good, yesterday was the Magic Festival and magicians from all over the world gathered in the royal capital. If something really happened, Benjamin could only ask Li En for people, because Stella was last seen in Kaidenburg.

At least that's what the servants said.

"Viscount Benjamin, have you reported this matter? Perhaps we can hand it over to the Sheriff Court. We are not professionals."

Li En said directly.

"Are you sure you want to do this? If so, the dignity of both our noble families will be lost."

Benjamin did not want to tell the Sheriff's Court about his daughter's disappearance. The Sheriff's Court was full of big mouths who wanted to report all the cases to the newspapers to attract the attention of the citizens and show their political achievements.

And if Stella Benjamin disappeared for a whole day, what would it mean? Many people would speculate.

Although women in the Holy Empire are generally open, that is only for married young women. Young girls who have not yet married still have to pay attention to their reputation in order to marry well.

"Grand Duke Moria wouldn't approve of making it public either."

Benjamin believed that Grand Duke Moria valued his reputation more than he did.

"Besides, the Sheriff Court is a bunch of rubbish. There's no way they can find my daughter in such a short time."

"So, Viscount Benjamin, what do you want me to do?"

"If Stella is really not with you, I hope you can help me find Stella. She might have been kidnapped by those magicians."

Benjamin said dejectedly.

"Let me help you. My brother is blind now and he can't help you find someone."

Parker appeared from nowhere, having obviously been eavesdropping for a while.

Fourteen or fifteen years old is the age when we are always looking for a sense of existence.

"Annie, take Parker down."

Li En didn't want Parker to get involved, and no one knew if this was a trap.

If Parker somehow becomes the scapegoat, it would really bring shame to the Moria family.

Anne carried Parker down with a cold expression. Parker, a two-meter-tall man, couldn't beat Anne, who was only 1.6 meters tall. He was furious.
