Miss Witch, it's time to clean up the entries
Chapter 204: Forbidden Love
Chapter 204: Forbidden Love ( words updated, please subscribe)
[Forbidden Love] You are hopelessly in love with your cousin. This love makes you jealous of any woman who appears by his side. You believe that you are the woman who should stand by his side. No one is more suitable for him than you. Only when you are together can your offspring have the purest bloodline of the Moria family.
Angelina's new entry is really a headache.
Li En originally thought that the [Noble Girl Savior] entry would not cause trouble in his life, but he did not expect that the first people affected by the entry would be his family.
Fortunately, Diane is a very simple girl. She doesn't understand what love between men and women is. Her previous statement that she wanted to marry me was just childish talk. Otherwise, she might end up like Angelina.
I'll find a chance to clear this red entry for Angelina. The key now is to take good care of Catherine.
This is Catherine's first time at the Duke's Mansion, and the most important thing is for her to get along well with her grandfather.
Li En thought so and looked away.
Diane and Parker did not continue discussing their sister, but went back to change into their dresses.
In order to welcome Catherine, Grand Duke Moria prepared a grand ball.
This is an affirmation and appreciation of the future granddaughter-in-law.
But the real purpose, in addition to introducing Catherine, is more importantly to let Li En Moriah appear in front of the bigwigs in the royal capital as the grandson of the family, to increase Li En's exposure and presence.
Grand Duke Moria is already paving the way for his grandson, hoping that he can embark on his own path to becoming prime minister in the future.
As for blindness, it is not a big deal for the knight.
The six-star Glory Knight can already rely on the other five senses to replace the visual disturbances.
So it would not be surprising even if the first blind prime minister appeared in history.
Moreover, he will look for other ways to treat his grandson's vision problems.
Li En didn't know that this was a public dance. He originally thought that Grand Duke Moria would only hold a family banquet.
Let everyone in the Moria family know Catherine.
But I didn't expect that this dance also had political significance.
So, when he changed into a gorgeous dress and appeared in the banquet hall, he was immediately stunned by the dense array of entries in front of him.
What's the matter with so many lords' sons?
As soon as the very handsome Li En appeared, he became the focus of the whole audience.
The noble girls all cast admiring glances at him.
Li En found the term "love at first sight" above the heads of many people.
The noble girls who already lived in the royal capital had an innate sense of superiority, which made them approach Li En without hesitation and surround him.
"Mr. Li En Moriah, it's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Violet Zeke."
This is Baron Zeke's daughter.
"Lord Li En, I have heard of your deeds a long time ago. Please remember my name. I am Charlotte Mori."
This is Viscount Moray's daughter.
"Master Li En, when the ball starts, may I invite you to dance the first dance?"
"It was you who saved my poor sister, Lord Li En. I want to thank you on behalf of my sister. When are you free to visit my home?"
"Mr. Li En Moriah, could you tell us the details of the kidnapping case?"
The girls surrounded Li En tightly, their eyes full of obsession.
But Catherine had not appeared yet, and he could not find any shield.
Suddenly I felt a little regretful for not bringing Nina Owen with me. If she were there, she would have been able to make these girls give up.
"Parker, come here."
Li En waved his hand and called Parker, who had just entered the hall, over.
Parker came over excitedly.
This younger brother is as good-looking and tall as me. His only shortcoming is that he lacks that unique charm. He is just a sunny boy.
"Actually, the newspaper report is wrong. I'm not the hero who saved the girls. Parker is. It was Parker who insisted on entering Mason Manor. It was Parker who rescued the girls and brought them to the Sheriff's Court. Parker knows what happened best. If you have any questions, you can ask him."
Li En said with a smile.
Parker scratched his head sheepishly. "I'm not a hero. I just did what I thought was right. This is mainly due to my brother."
"No need to be modest, Parker, the girls want to hear you."
Li En encouraged.
The boy, who was already very eager to show off, immediately took over the conversation and started talking about what happened that day.
While the girls were engrossed in listening, Li En slipped away, saying that his sister Diane needed help.
Shortly after Lee En left, Parker, who had thought he was quite popular, found that the girls had gradually dispersed, leaving only one or two girls who were truly interested in the kidnapping case.
Parker couldn't help but doubt himself. Was it because I wasn't good at speaking or because I wasn't good looking?
Li En escaped from the encirclement of the noble ladies and breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want Catherine to see this scene.
Even though he used to be able to chat with girls with ease, he was now a father-to-be and could no longer do anything to make his fiancée worry.
There would always be a game of Empire Cards at the royal capital's nobles' ball. Li En saw that several young nobles had already started playing cards.
He just wanted to test out the ability of [Fate Gambler].
He has never tested it since he got this entry.
And right in front of him were three nobles with the "Slave Abuse" tag on their heads. They even liked to have slave parties together.
In this era, the abuse of slaves was nothing new and was even commonplace among the nobility.
But as the successor of the new era, Li En cannot tolerate any flaws.
The man in front of him was the best target to plunder.
“Can I join?”
Lee En asked.
"of course can."
When the nobles saw Li En, they readily agreed. They didn't even think that the upstart of the empire would approach them on their own initiative.
After all, they were a group of unappreciated playboys, and were asked by King Auguras to participate in the expedition of the Azure Dragon Court.
Li En quickly became friends with the six people. Playing cards is an excellent way to socialize. After one round, Li En basically had a clear understanding of the situation of the six people.
Li En did not win the first round of cards, which made them relax their vigilance.
At the beginning of the second game, Li En no longer gave in to this group of playboys and took the initiative to activate the entry skills.
[The fateful game has been decided]...
[The fate game is over, and you are the ultimate winner. Please draw the rewards you need from any participant in the game, including life, wealth, status, power, health, five senses, internal organs...]
The six people in front of me were cursing because they lost the game.
What they didn't expect was that they had become commodities waiting to be selected, and Li En was the only customer.
In Li En's vision, each of them became an existence composed of countless entries, and Li En could randomly pick out an entry as the entry for winning the bet.
Li En chose to draw Cedric's vision entry.
[New entry [Cedric's Vision]]
[Cedric's Vision] You will have Cedric's vision and you will be able to see the light again. Unfortunately, since Cedric is just an ordinary person and his status is far inferior to yours, you can only have the sight for one day.
Is it only one day?
And you can only draw once in a round of cards.
Almost at the same time, Li En regained his sight, while the noble man opposite, Cedric, fell into darkness.
He rubbed his eyes vigorously. "I, why can't I see? I can't see."
"Cedric, have you been staying up late every day lately?"
"I've been telling you to stop being so decadent, but you never listen."
"Your eyes must be too tired. Why don't you go down and rest for a while."
The card players said that they didn't think Cedric was really blind.
After all, who could believe that one would become blind after playing cards once?
Because of Cedric, Li En pretended to be disappointed and said goodbye to several people.
Several nobles blamed Cedric for this, as he had become blind.
Cedric also felt that he needed a rest, after all, he had been torturing the slave for several nights in a row.
In addition, his friends were all blaming him, so he had even less heart to continue playing cards. He simply asked the servant to take him away from the banquet and go back to rest.
Li En, who had regained his sight, finally felt the colorful world he had not seen for a long time.
The world is no longer just black and red.
Flickering candlelight illuminated the spacious hall, while silver chandeliers cast a soft, golden glow. Firelight from the fireplace danced on the silk and velvet garments, casting opulent shadows. Clinking glasses, elegantly dressed young noblemen and women chatted with one another, creating an ambiguous atmosphere.
The musicians played lively music on the stage, with violin melodies intertwined with low brass instruments, creating an atmosphere that was both solemn and cheerful.
Dances are natural social venues, and the larger the dance, the more opportunities there will be.
Li En suddenly understood why Grand Duke Moria wanted to hold this ball.
Perhaps this is not simply about bringing Catherine into the spotlight.
Li En matched the faces of the people he had met at two other dances with the entries one by one.
To his surprise, Ophelia, the director of the Guardian Bureau who never attended any banquets, was also there.
This is a mature and steady woman. The traces of time carved on her face have not diminished her innate majesty and elegance. She is a little similar to Mary, with long chestnut hair draped over her shoulders.
Her eyebrows were long and powerful, and a slight raise of them conveyed a sense of unquestionable determination, fully revealing the dignity of her noble lineage. Her face was well-defined, and her skin was as white as porcelain, exuding an elegant warmth.
Even in the bustling banquet hall, she was like a quiet scenery that made people unable to help but take a second look.
Elizabeth and High Priest Fia were also there.
These are also two beauties, but compared to Elizabeth, Li En and Fia are more familiar.
Fia has an innate aura of a goddess, beautiful but a little unapproachable.
Her long light golden hair and azure eyes gave her the characteristics of the Moria family, but she no longer had any blood connection with the Moria family.
Even if Li En shamelessly called her cousin, she would not admit it.
"Your Excellency Lee En Moriah."
A familiar voice sounded in my ears.
Li En saw Viscount Benjamin and his daughter Stella Benjamin, Stella Benjamin.
Stella Benjamin was undoubtedly lucky. She was picked up by her father Benjamin before the reporters arrived, so she did not appear in the "kidnapped aristocratic girl" case and became a victim who was not harmed again.
Moreover, Stella Benjamin only suffered two days of beatings and humiliation, which gave her a natural fear of violence, and she did not experience the hellish life that other girls had.
It was also because she did not appear in the newspaper that she missed the Nina Owen clone boyfriend that Dorothy arranged for her using love magic.
"I really want to thank you this time for saving my daughter Stella."
Viscount Benjamin said.
Stella Benjamin was not in a very good mental state. In the past, when she attended such dances, she would always gather with those socialites and ladies, but today she stayed by her father's side the whole time and seemed afraid to contact the people around her.
When her father greeted Li En, she didn't even dare to look up at Li En, and once again timidly hid behind her father.
She was very ashamed that Li En saw her kneeling on the ground begging Cherry.
If her father had not insisted on coming to thank Li En, she would not have been willing to continue attending such a dance.
After this incident, Stella has completely given up her unrealistic dream of becoming a queen, and she falls in love with the man who saved her, Lien Moriah.
During this period, Viscount Benjamin witnessed with his own eyes that his daughter cut out all the reports about Lee En Moriah and posted them all in her bedroom. He also asked painters to draw countless portraits of Lee En Moriah based on his photos. These portraits also occupied most of the walls of Stella's bedroom.
Stella would fall asleep every day reciting Lee En Moriah's name, which made Benjamin realize that if things continued like this, his daughter would sooner or later fall into a state of madness.
That's why he brought Stella to the ball. He wanted Stella to see the reality and stop having unrealistic fantasies.
"It's just a piece of cake."
Li En said to Viscount Benjamin, politely but distantly.
"Stella, don't you want to thank Mr. Li En Moria in person?"
Benjamin looked at his daughter.
Stella's heartbeat was accelerating, she felt a little breathless, her nervousness made her unable to speak a word, and her fair cheeks flushed red.
Li En's hearing was extremely sharp. The sound of the heartbeat had penetrated into his ears, allowing him to judge that something was wrong.
Is this another girl affected by the [Noble Girl Savior] entry?
"Stella, you don't have to thank me, because I never thought about saving you. The one who really wanted to save you was Parker, not me."
At this time, it’s better to put the blame on my younger brother Parker.
It seems that Parker also has a little affection for Stella.
"Parker?"
Stella was stunned, her mind went blank.
Li En's indifference reminded her of what happened in Castle Kadenburg.
Yes, this man didn't like her from the beginning. He even rejected her request for sacrifice. Why would he go out of his way to save her?
This fact hit Stella hard, and she looked even more listless, with a decadent beauty.
Li En had to admit that the noble girls in the royal capital were all quite good-looking.
Including Miss Stella.
Unfortunately, he already has someone in his heart.
Benjamin heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Li En's words.
He only wanted his daughter to marry a nobleman of equal status, not the grandson of Grand Duke Moria. The titles of Duke and Viscount were very different, and such a high-ranking marriage would cause Stella a lot of suffering in the future.
"Sorry, I have something else to do."
Li En said goodbye to the father and daughter and walked straight to the door of the banquet hall.
Because his fiancée Catherine is here.
Sunlight filtered through the palace windows, illuminating the gorgeous dress, casting tiny glints of light. Catherine walked gracefully, like a butterfly fluttering under the moonlight, light and mysterious. Her long hair flowed down like a cascade, each strand seemingly reflecting the delicate moonlight. Her skin was as white as snow falling on plum blossoms in early spring, pure and elegant.
Looking closely at her eyes, they were so black that they seemed to swallow all the light, and so deep that they seemed to hide the sea of stars. Those eyes, sometimes smart, sometimes gentle, with slightly red eye sockets, made people want to protect them.
At this moment, Li En seemed to be back at the engagement party.
Catherine is just as beautiful in her engagement dress.
Li En hadn't seen his fiancée's face for a long time, which made his heart beat faster unconsciously.
Catherine hadn't expected so many people to be at the ball.
Anne was not a competent maid. After changing Catherine's clothes, she sulked and left. Naturally, she was in no mood to accompany Catherine to the ball.
Mina wasn't around either, which made Catherine a little overwhelmed.
But she is no longer the girl imprisoned in the tower. She is now the lord of Blue Moon Territory and is pregnant with a little life.
She knew she couldn't be shy and had to face it all bravely.
Catherine walked into the banquet hall without any servants.
Her appearance undoubtedly attracted the attention of many people, especially the young nobles.
Everyone knew Catherine because she was the orphan of the Jackson family and inherited the rich legacy of the entire Blue Moon Territory. She was also the one whose subordinates resisted the invasion of the Rose Army and defended the Blue Moon Territory. She was also the fiancée of Lee En Moriah.
"Is this Miss Jackson?"
"Oh, she looks much better than in the pictures in the newspaper."
"I don't think she's worthy of Lean Moriah at all."
“Yes, why did Li En Moria want to marry her? If it was for money, our Beren family can also provide it.”
The nobles were talking among themselves, and the noisy voices made Catherine even more nervous.
She took a deep breath and tried to look presentable.
Until Li En came to her and took her hand.
"My dear Catherine, you are as beautiful today as a fairy from a painting."
Li En said gently, his eyes shining like stars, making Catherine a little dazed.
"Thank you."
Catherine's cheeks flushed slightly, and she placed her hand in Li En's palm.
She knew that this was just Li En comforting himself, after all, he couldn't see anything.
The two of them appeared in front of everyone, attracting more onlookers.
In the eyes of the aristocratic girls, Catherine is obviously not worthy of Li En, but the men don’t think so. They think Catherine has a unique temperament that makes them feel pity for her.
The ball went smoothly. Grand Duke Moria personally introduced Li En and Catherine to the imperial dignitaries and publicly acknowledged their identities.
The two danced their first dance in front of everyone.
Catherine didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that Li En was a little different today.
His eyes never left him, as if he could really see.
After the dance was over, there was warm applause all around.
During the ball, Li En never participated in the card game again, but stayed with Catherine throughout the whole process and integrated into the circle introduced by Grand Duke Moria.
Except for Augulas and Earl Hall, almost all the big figures in the secular society of the entire royal capital were present.
There was no way, Augustus had to attend the family dinner today, otherwise he would have come in person to save face for the new upstart of the empire.
After all, Li En will become his most important right-hand man in the future.
Auglas is an ambitious king. He hopes to achieve greater success than his father. Therefore, he cannot just rely on these elderly ministers. Cultivating the power of the new generation is the key to achieving great things.
It was almost everyone's expectation that Grand Duke Moria did not invite Earl Hall.
Because the two of them didn't get along and were political enemies. Plus, with His Majesty the King away, Earl Hall naturally wouldn't come and cause trouble.
However, to everyone's surprise, in the second half of the dance, Dorothy Hall, who had not received an invitation, showed up uninvited.
Almost everyone's eyes were focused on Dorothy Hall at the same time.
Like a moonlit dream, she stepped into people's sight in a hazy glow. Her purple hair fell like waves, each strand seeming to capture the afterglow of the setting sun.
Her brows radiate the elegance and coolness of an aristocrat. Beneath her sword-like brows lie a pair of eyes as deep as lake water, gleaming with endless curiosity about this complex world. Her eyelashes flutter like butterflies, and every blink seems to tell a touching story.
Her nose is straight yet soft, her lips are as delicate and beautiful as roses, and her smile can captivate everyone.
Her appearance is like a work of art carefully crafted by nature, with the brilliance of sunshine and the mystery of the moonlit night.
A custom-made long dress highlights her graceful figure, and the hem of the skirt sways gently with her steps, like the sparkling sea.
She was so calm, every movement revealing her inner confidence and self-cultivation. Looking around, her gaze was like a spring breeze, gentle and full of vitality.
Even in the gorgeous palace, her temperament is unique, like a flower on a high mountain, untainted by dust.
Almost all girls would feel inferior when they saw her.
If we were to ask who is most qualified to stand next to her at the scene, it would probably be Li En, who is equally beautiful.
Li En was surprised by Dorothy's arrival.
Dorothy was obviously dressed up carefully today. She was even more beautiful than usual. Even Li En couldn't take his eyes off her.
It created an illusion of heartbeat.
But he has a very high ability to control his desires and can control his emotions very well, so he did not show anything unusual in front of Catherine.
Grand Duke Moria obviously did not expect that Dorothy would come when he was introducing his grandson's wife.
Perhaps Dorothy came here to express her dissatisfaction.
If so, what should I do to regain the witch's favor towards my grandson?
Grand Duke Moria was a little melancholy. Although he had seen countless people when he was young, he was old now and had not dealt with complicated emotional issues for a long time.
"Miss Imperial Rose is here too."
"It's Miss Hall."
"Miss Hall is still as beautiful as ever—no, she is even more beautiful than ever. She is getting more and more beautiful."
Countless praises rang out in the banquet hall, and the men all showed obsessed expressions.
When Dorothy saw Catherine beside Li En, she understood everything.
They reconciled.
This made Dorothy feel a little disappointed.
But even if they reconciled, Dorothy had no intention of letting Li En go this time.
The Entry Mutual Aid Association needs him, the witches need him, and Alexander cannot live without a father.
Dorothy slowly walked to the side of Grand Duke Moria and politely performed a noble salute.
"Good evening, Prime Minister."
"Good evening, Miss Hall."
Grand Duke Moria nodded slightly.
Dorothy came to Li En again and said, "Good evening, Mr. Li En Moriah."
"Good evening, Miss Hall."
Li En had a bad feeling.
"Good evening, Miss Jackson."
"Good evening, Miss Hall."
Catherine also performed a noble ceremony to Dorothy.
When Dorothy saw Catherine again, she clearly felt that something was different, as if there was an aura about her that did not belong to her.
Catherine didn't know about the subtle relationship between Grand Duke Moria and Earl Hall, so she was not that surprised by Dorothy's arrival.
Perhaps because of her pregnancy, Catherine no longer felt inferior in front of Dorothy, and she appeared to be calm and confident.
In addition, Li En has given her enough sense of security, and she is wearing Li En's engagement ring on her hand.
Including the previous engagement ring, this is the second time Catherine has received a token of love from Li En.
Even though Catherine knew that she was not the white moonlight in Li En's mind, she was also sure that she was an important woman in Li En's life, and Li En's love for her was no less than anyone else, and that was enough.
Ophelia, the director of the Guardian Bureau, was also surprised by Dorothy's arrival, but she seemed to have no right to ask Dorothy, because she was also a person who hardly participated in any dance party. If she was there, what was so surprising about Dorothy's presence?
Ophelia thought of the last time Dorothy appeared in the Guardian Bureau, and suspected that she came this time for Li En.
If that's the case, then Auglas really should hurry up.
At least Dorothy should understand his feelings.
Otherwise, any girl would fall for a man who has been kissed by an angel.
"I'm sorry, I'm here to take away Lord Lee En Moriah."
Dorothy said to Catherine.
This sentence almost stunned everyone present, including Grand Duke Moria and a group of dignitaries.
"Actually, we are investigating a very difficult case, the follow-up to the kidnapping of a noble girl. Because it involves secrets, it is not convenient to disclose it to everyone. We now need the help of His Excellency Li En Moriah. This is also the order of Auguras."
Dorothy explained.
This made everyone feel relieved.
Everyone almost thought that Dorothy was here to steal the bride.
Although this is not the wedding of Li En and Catherine, the nature of this ball is almost the same as that of a wedding.
This is the Moria family's recognition of Catherine.
Ophelia also knew that Dorothy was talking about the case of the "blasphemous worm".
So far, the two witches she sent out to assist Li En have not given her any report.
She had suspected that the case had hit a bottleneck, but now looking at Dorothy's expression, she seemed to have made a breakthrough.
So she also stood on Dorothy's side and said seriously, "Indeed, His Majesty the King hopes that Lord Li En Moriah can solve this case as soon as possible."
With Ophelia's endorsement, everyone became more convinced that Dorothy's appearance was for official business.
If Dorothy hadn't dressed up, Li En would probably have thought she was there for work.
But she even sprayed perfume today, which is a bit distressing.
Li En suspected that Dorothy was also affected by the term "Noble Girl Savior".
Could it be that she really fell in love with him? Why? Because of those 24 hours?
Li En knew that Dorothy had a natural psychological shadow about love. Earl Hall had said that she would not easily fall in love.
So he absolutely did not believe that Dorothy would fall in love with him in such a short time. Even if she had a good impression of him, it was most likely that she was just attracted by his beauty, just like him.
"I'm sorry. I just want to spend this evening with Catherine."
Li En politely refused Dorothy.
Dorothy was not angry. She smiled and said, "I will wait until the party is over, and then we will leave together."
"Sir Lee En Moriah, please prioritize the safety of everyone in the capital."
Ophelia, the director of the Guardian Bureau, said seriously.
Li En glanced at her indifferently, wanting to retort, "What does the safety of the capital have to do with me? Do you really think of me as a savior? Or a guardian witch?"
"I wouldn't come if it wasn't something important."
Dorothy added.
Li En looked at Catherine, and after getting her consent, he nodded slightly, "Okay."
"Miss Hall, since you are here, may I invite you to dance?"
A noble man took the opportunity to invite Dorothy to dance.
Dorothy shook her head. "I'm sorry, but I'm not here to dance today."
This time she refused cleanly and decisively, blocking the way for other men who wanted to invite her to dance.
The nobles realized that Dorothy seemed different from before and had begun to interfere in the affairs of the Guardian Bureau.
Perhaps Dorothy will soon become the deputy director of the Guardian Bureau, and the rumors are about to come true.
Dorothy did not continue to disturb Li En and Catherine from participating in the Moria family party. She knew when to stop and chose a quiet corner to read alone.
The flame demon Cruz stood beside her in the form of a maid.
"Dorothy, you're already at the ball. Wouldn't it be a shame not to dance?"
"This is Catherine's ball. I came uninvited, and that has already made Li En unhappy."
"If Nina Owen hadn't escaped, you wouldn't have come here to look for him. Why should he be unhappy?"
Cruz naturally stood on the side of his master.
"Yeah, but I'm not here just for business. I also want to see how Li En and Catherine get along."
Dorothy raised her head, and her eyes met Li En's.
Her face flushed instantly and she lowered her head.
It was the first time that Li En saw this expression on Dorothy's face.
"Li En, since Miss Hall is looking for you for something very important, why don't you go with her first? I'm also feeling a little tired and want to go back and rest first."
Katherine said gently.
Li En knew this was the reason for her pregnancy.
He also felt sorry for Catherine. There were too many people to entertain in such social occasions. There were dozens of retainers from the Moria family alone.
"Okay, then I'll take you back first."
Li En supported Catherine, said goodbye to Grand Duke Moria, and temporarily left the ball.
After bringing Catherine back to his bedroom, Li En asked Anne to take good care of Catherine before leaving.
Anne was a little surprised that Li En did not stay to take care of Catherine personally, which also made Anne feel a little better. However, she was not in the mood to take care of Catherine. Instead, she instructed other maids to take good care of Catherine.
She needed to be busy processing those valuable orders. In just the past half month, she received orders from no less than 30 noble ladies.
It takes a lot of time to make these dresses. Anne can be said to be even busier than Li En now. She is a woman who is truly trapped by her career.
After Li En sent Catherine back, he returned to the banquet hall, walked through the crowd, and found Dorothy who was reading a book.
"Miss Hall, we can go now."
"So fast?"
Dorothy was slightly surprised, but she quickly realized that Miss Catherine was in poor health and had left the ball early.
Then Li En can follow him to do some real work.
"Unless you want to stay for some foie gras, or a dance."
Dorothy stood up and prepared to leave with Li En.
"Take my carriage."
Ophelia suggested, "I'm planning to leave too."
"Thank you."
Dorothy knew what Ophelia was worried about, and she didn't mind.
The three of them got on the Guard Bureau's carriage and left the magnificent Duke's Mansion.
As for Dorothy's pumpkin carriage, it was naturally given to the devil Cruz.
"Nina Owen escaped, taking her three lovers with her."
Dorothy said.
In Ophelia's presence, Dorothy did not reveal that it was Nina Owen's doppelganger.
Li En nodded slightly, "I understand."
"Can you tell me where things are going?"
Ophelia asked.
"Things are going smoothly, and it won't be long before the case is closed."
Li En smiled and said, "But it's not convenient to reveal too many details right now, so as to avoid leaks."
Ophelia nodded. Although she felt a little annoyed at not being trusted, considering the serious impact of this matter, Li En should indeed report directly to Augustus.
"What is the relationship between the Guardian Bureau and the Holy See?"
Li En suddenly asked.
“Although there is occasional cooperation, it is limited to occasional cooperation.”
Ophelia leaned back on the soft backrest of the carriage.
Li En heard it and knew that their relationship was not good.
But this is not surprising. The Guardian Bureau is an important weapon of the empire and its ownership lies with the supreme secular ruler Augustus. The Holy See belongs to the church and is under the control of the Pope. It is impossible for the two to be too harmonious.
Therefore, it is obviously impossible to get from Ophelia the diary entries about how Randall was promoted from a silver believer to a special believer.
As for why Li En thought Randall would record these experiences, it was because this was the tradition of the church. In order to help lower-level believers, higher-level believers would record their own understanding process, forming quotations or famous works, which would be circulated within the church or given to students at specific times. This was an unspoken rule.
Maybe if I enter a seminary, I can get this information, but the probability is very slim.
Randall already wanted to kill me, so how could he possibly teach me?
"If you need help from the church, I can negotiate."
Ophelia said.
"No thanks."
Li En chose to close his eyes and rest.
"Ms. Hall's tower is too far from the city. Why don't I work in my office in the Guardian Bureau? I will ensure that the witches never disturb you."
Ophelia suggested.
"No thanks."
Dorothy flatly refused, "I still prefer being in the tower."
"Because it involves the 'blasphemous bug', we're afraid of causing chaos in the city, so a remote suburb is more suitable."
Li En said.
"I was negligent."
Ophelia no longer mentioned working at the Guardian Bureau.
The carriage took the two to the tower before leaving.
Fortunately, Ellie and Cameron were still in the tower.
Ophelia believed that as long as Li En and Dorothy were not given the opportunity to be alone, they would not develop feelings for each other in a short time.
"Nina Owen ran away?"
"Well, actually, her three clones weren't taken away by her. Instead, she sacrificed them to the Eye of Doom. She escaped with the Eye of Doom's power. I suspect the power of doom can affect the blood pact. If so, then besides the capital, the blasphemy in other cities may erupt at any time."
Dorothy said in a calm tone.
Li En suspected that Dorothy had already thought of a solution, otherwise she would not be so calm and would not attend the banquet in her best attire.
"I'll try to contact Nina Irving first."
Li En closed his eyes and opened them after a moment.
"If nothing goes wrong, she will be back at the tower in half an hour."
"Is there no problem with the blood contract?"
Dorothy asked doubtfully. She had originally thought of repairing the blood contract, but now it seemed that was no longer necessary.
"Yes, no problem."
Li En said.
Dorothy showed an incredible expression. Her guesses were always correct. The Eye of Doom must be able to affect the blood contract, otherwise Nina Owen would not have escaped even though she knew she was going to be caught.
If the blood contract is not affected, could it be because Li En's status is the same as the Eye of Doom?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Dorothy shook her head and denied it.
Impossible, Li En is just a silver believer, how could he be of the same status as the Eye of Doom?
If that were the case, wouldn't he be superior to the angels?
The two returned to the tower, where Ellie and Cameron were observing Alexander's eggshell.
The witches had never seen a dragon egg and were very curious about Alexander.
Li En and Dorothy did not disturb them, but sat by the fireplace and started chatting.
During the time they worked together, the two would often chat like friends, and their relationship was much better than when Li En first arrived in Yalong City, but it was still not as close as lovers.
"Dorothy, can you get the papal quotations from the Vatican?"
