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

Chapter 205: The Distortion of the Blood Contract, the Power of Doom (-word update, please subscribe)

"Can't see."

Since Li En only had 24-hour vision, he would continue to be blind tomorrow night unless he participated in another card game. He did not want to explain why he could temporarily regain his sight now, so he simply lied. He pointed to his ears to indicate that he had excellent hearing.

Dorothy finally breathed a sigh of relief. She touched her burning cheeks and almost thought she was exposed.

Well, the exposure here refers to the various little expressions shown in front of Li En.

Li En found it a little funny to see Dorothy looking relieved.

"I think he can see it. If you don't believe me, take a test."

The fire demon Cruz encouraged Dorothy in her ear.

"What test?"

Dorothy raised an eyebrow.

"Take off."

Cruise said.

Li En sweatdropped.

Dorothy reached out and extinguished the fire demon Cruz.

Doesn’t this guy know that Li En on the opposite side has sharp hearing?
How can you say such words?
Dorothy rejected Cruise with her actions. She did not want to test whether Li En was lying and instinctively chose to believe him.

"Since you can't see, I'll read it to you."

Dorothy said.

"It's troublesome."

Li En smiled and nodded.

"Do you want to hear the insights and mental journey of a Silver Believer becoming a Special Believer?"

Dorothy asked.

In her opinion, since Li En did not accept the church's invitation to go to the seminary, he certainly did not have much identification with the church. It was impossible that he wanted to read this kind of books just because he admired the Pope. Then there was only one reason, he wanted to break through from a silver believer to a special believer, and at this stage his thoughts were not clear, so he needed inspiration and enlightenment.

"Yes, Thanks."

Li En likes chatting with smart people because he doesn't need to explain too much.

Dorothy happens to be a very smart person, and she is not smart all the time, but only smart where she should be smart.

"I have entered the Silver Disciple and feel that I am one step closer to the great God Tiger..."

Dorothy began to read and Lee En listened carefully.

Although the first two popes should not be heretics in theory, and their paths to promotion may not be helpful to him, it does not prevent him from listening to them. What if they are useful?
Besides, Dorothy has a nice voice, and listening to her read is a pleasure.

Time passed quickly during the reading time, and half an hour later, Nina Owen, the ruthless person who sacrificed herself, appeared.

She got inspiration from Li En, sacrificed her three clones in the small dark room under the tower, obtained the help of the [Eye of Doom], and successfully tampered with the contents of the blood contract.

It turned her from a slave of Li En Moriah into a servant of Li En Moriah.

And Lien Moriah didn't pay her a penny of salary, so the servant could leave at any time.

Nina Owen thought this was foolproof. As for why she didn't make Li En Moriah her slave, the answer was that the price was too high and her three clones couldn't afford it.

Nina Owen thought she could break up with Lean Moriah and never see each other again until they died.

Oh no, in order to avenge the humiliation that Li En Moriah brought to her these days, she also planned to go to other cities to cause trouble.

Let the blasphemy erupt completely.

However, she had just arrived at Gaojunling by train when she felt a powerful binding force in her heart, requiring her to return to the high tower in Yalong City.

When she checked the blood contract again, she found that the contents of the blood contract had been corrected again.

She became Lien Moriah's most loyal servant again!
Even though she had a thousand reasons not to believe it, this was the fact.

She angrily took the magic train back to Yalong City.

The most hateful thing is that Li En even guessed that she would kill people along the way to vent her anger, and ordered her not to harm any ordinary people!

When Nina Owen returned to the tower, she was extremely angry. She rushed forward and was about to give Li Enlai a bloodthirsty stab.

Unfortunately, when the stab reached Li En's neck, her legs softened and she knelt down automatically, saying unwillingly,

"Master, I'm back."

Li En was interrupted by Nina Owen while listening to a book, and a look of obvious displeasure appeared on his face.

But seeing her look of despair, I found it a little funny.

This is the Duke of Giles, the once powerful hero who was eventually sent to the guillotine. Oh, no, it’s Mrs. Nina Owen.

Li En had to admit that the slaves he collected were all good-looking. Whether it was Soraya, Nancy, or the current "ruthless" Nina Owen, they were all top-notch beauties.

As for age, Soraya and Nina Owen were already considered old women. Nancy was just right. Inna was still underage.

"Daffodil, do you know you're wrong?"

"I see."

Nina Owen said perfunctorily.

"What's wrong?"

Lee En asked.

The veins on Nina Owen's forehead bulged, and she really wanted to tear the man in front of her into two halves, but unfortunately she could do nothing.

"I...should not have left the tower without your permission."

"Don't have any more thoughts about the blood contract. As long as it's not the God of Tiger, no matter who you believe in, you can't change the blood contract. Do you understand?"

Li En looked at Nina Owen with indifferent eyes.

At this moment, Nina Owen's heart trembled.

She understood what Li En meant by this sentence.

In other words, except for the God of Tiger, Li En doesn't take other gods and evil gods seriously.

This also perfectly explains why her blood contract was automatically corrected.

Nina Owen seemed to see infinite possibilities in Lien Moriah, as if she saw a road to godhood paved for him.

Although she was reluctant to admit it, Nina Owen did feel a sense of powerlessness deep in her heart.

Am I going to be this man's slave for the rest of my life?
You can never escape from his grasp.

Damn it. Why would I mess with such a heaven-defying existence?
It's all Randall's fault!

"I see."

Nina Owen said, looking down.

She knew that she could no longer tamper with the blood contract because the master had given strict orders.

She missed her only chance.

At this moment, her faith began to collapse.

The Eye of Doom, which was once so powerful in her eyes and the great god who protected her homeland, had become so weak that even the blood contract could not be modified successfully.

She decided to completely break with the Eye of Doom, abandon the belief that had followed her for decades, and seek new refuge.

And she had no choice but Li En as her new refuge.

Only if she becomes a believer of Li En and follows Li En loyally, can she realize her ideal one day, stand beside the great being, and become a member of the mural.

Li En was slightly surprised when he saw the new entry for Nina Owen.

After this escape, [Aspiring Believer] Nina Owen has completely surrendered to fate. Recognizing your strength and potential, she hopes to follow your greatness on your divine path, becoming an angel by your side, a presence depicted in the sacred murals. She has transferred her faith in the [Eye of Doom] to you.

[Relative Loyalty] Due to the blood pact, Nina Owen will be relatively loyal to you. As long as you continue to show her your powerful and terrifying side, she will never betray you.

"Okay, let's go down."

Li En waved his hand, asking Nina Owen not to disturb him and continue listening to the book.

Nina Owen took the initiative and said, "Miss Hall, I can do it for you. Let me read it to the master."

Yes, her attitude has changed.

It has gone from extreme disgust to flattery.

Li En could notice that the way Nina Owen looked at him had changed.

Dorothy raised her beautiful eyes and released the fire demon Cruz from her palms.

In an instant, Cruise grew from a small flame into a giant flaming beast, baring its fangs and claws at Nina Owen, giving off a very oppressive feeling.

Nina Owen swallowed her saliva, made up an excuse, and retreated silently.

Dorothy said awkwardly, "Since Nina Owen is unwell, I am the only one who has to continue reading for Li En reluctantly."

The corners of Li En's mouth twitched. For the first time, he discovered how terrifying Dorothy was.

If it weren't visible, this scene might have been missed silently.

This is most likely due to the [Noble Girl Savior] entry, right? Otherwise, why would Dorothy be jealous of a servant?
Li En was lost in thought and missed a monologue, but it didn't matter.

Peace and tranquility returned to the tower.

Li En felt like she was attending a book club with only two people.

Outside the tower, the dance party in Alexburg was still going on.

The ball might last three days and three nights, and the guests could stay in Alexburg during this time.

A grand ball would show how much the family values ​​Catherine.

Angelina is dazzling and recognized as the most beautiful of the third generation of the Moria family. She is surrounded by many suitors, but they all disgust her.

Since the beginning of the dance, her eyes have never left her cousin Li En. Unfortunately, Li En left early, and Li En's eyes never fell on her from beginning to end.

Even if she wore the most gorgeous dress, put on the most beautiful makeup, and put on the most precious jewelry, she couldn't make him look back.

Out of jealousy, Angelina forgot that Li En was blind.

Angelina remembered every woman who had come into contact with Li En, Violet Zeke, Charlotte Murray... Stella Benjamin.

She was jealous of their unbridled access to Li En, and she wanted to make them pay the price.

Realizing that they were approaching a being they shouldn't be approaching.

A wicked smile suddenly appeared on Angelina's beautiful face. She seemed to have found the joy of life, which was to protect the one she loved in her heart.

……

Just as a grand welcome ball was held in Alexburg, Mary also returned to the Frank family castle.

The Frank family's ancient castle stood deep within the King's Quarter. Illuminated by the magic lamps, its stones shone with a cold, blue-gray luster. The castle's turrets were intricately carved with patterns, marked by the passage of time.

The castle's gates were tightly shut, flanked by two stone wolf heads, as if vigilantly guarding the tranquility within. The door slid open, its creaking sound shattering the surrounding silence. Behind it lay a long corridor, its mottled walls illuminated by dim candlelight. At the end of the corridor lay a banquet hall, its massive chandelier suspended from the ceiling like a crown, emitting a soft glow.

The banquet hall was furnished with a heavy, long table and carved chairs, covered with embroidered tablecloths. Silver cutlery gleamed in the dim light. A wood-burning fireplace emanated warmth, filling the room with a faint woody aroma. In a corner, an ancient harp stood quietly. It was the harp Mary had once played, bringing back memories of her childhood, when she was held in her father's arms.

She hadn't returned to her family for many years, but no one came to greet her.

The Frank family members were all surrounding Augustus at this moment, which made Mary realize again that she had failed.

Lost to Auglas again.

Mary sat at the long table and the servant respectfully put a napkin around her and wiped her hands.

Augustus sat across from her, smiling hypocritically like the sun.

"Welcome home, Mary."

"Augus, put away your victorious attitude. I'm not here to see you."

Mary picked up her knife and fork and cut a lamb chop.

The elders of the Frank family looked at Mary indifferently.

"Mary, you have behaved rudely in this matter."

"Feel sorry."

Mary could only bear the elders' accusations.

"For the sake of the Blue Moon Territory, you not only lost 5 Rose Soldiers, but also your own divinity. If it weren't for the Ripper, your position as the overlord of the South would have been easily replaced by the Simmons family."

An old man with white hair and beard, dressed in gorgeous clothes, said that he was Agrippa, the elder of the Frank family, a special believer, and held the position of cardinal in the church.

He is one of the three cardinals whose status is second only to that of the Pope.

He neither stood on the side of Augustus nor on the side of Mary. He only cared about the rise and fall of his family.

"I will not let the Simmons family take my place."

It's the way to go.

"How do you plan to consolidate your position as the overlord of the South?"

Another elder asked.

"I will stir up a melee in the South."

Mary spoke without hesitation, even though the person opposite her was King Auglas.

"As long as it doesn't affect the stability of the kingdom, it's up to you."

Augustus was not a kind-hearted king. Although the kingdom's laws expressly prohibited the initiation of civil war, it was a different matter if it was initiated by the Frank family.

Just as Augulas said, as long as it plunges the kingdom into turmoil, does not affect his expedition to the Azure Dragon Court, and can also gain more benefits for the family, Mary can do whatever she wants.

Of course, this is just what Augustus wanted to convey on the surface.

In fact, he was waiting for Mary to make a mistake, just like the Southern Blue Moon Territory incident this time. As long as Mary made a mistake, the Sequence 5 Ripper might change hands, and Mary's position in the family would be shaken.

Now the tribesmen seem to support Augustus, but Augustus knows that this is because he is still on the throne. If one day he is replaced by Mary, the tribesmen will abandon him without hesitation and assist Mary again.

This is also the reason why August would rather be close to Grand Duke Moria and Earl Hall than support a Prime Minister of the Frank family.

The more you are in the Frank family, the more you realize what a cold and indifferent family it is.

Frank felt no warmth at home, only eternal interests.

This is also why he wanted to marry Dorothy and let her give birth to children for him, and these children would gradually become a powerful army, instead of treating them as real children.

Auguras also has the extremely cold blood of a royal family flowing in his body.

"But I need my family's help to contain the Simmons family."

It's the way to go.

"The family will no longer help you. You have to do these things on your own."

The elder said indifferently.

Even though Mary was the most outstanding descendant and had even reached the rank of 7-star Order Knight at a young age, the Frank family still did not give her preferential treatment.

Because the Frank family is a traditional old-fashioned creed family, the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls is deeply rooted in their bones. According to the elders, Mary should be sent to marry the Burns family of the Burns Empire, so that the Frank family can completely control the southern continent.

But Mary insisted on being different. She didn't look like a noble lady at all and even embarked on the path of chivalry.

Old King Frank also chose to use Mary as a whetstone for Augulas to grow.

Mary followed old King Frank in countless battles and made great military achievements. Compared with Augustus, she made greater contributions to the empire.

However, old Frank never intended to pass the throne to her, and until his death, he never wavered in his decision to let Augustus become king.

Mary was demoted to the remote south, and step by step she rose from the lord of Rose Territory to the overlord of the South, once again allowing the family elders to see her strength and talent.

But this only won her a small amount of leverage, as most of the family still could not recognize Mary.

Although she was not favored by her family, Mary took refuge with Pope Randall, from whom she received full support that the Frank family failed to give.

"kindness."

Mary responded calmly.

In addition to Mary, there were three younger ladies from the Frank family at the dinner.

They were all cousins ​​of Augustus, and the reason they had a seat at the long table was that all three of them were about to become princesses of the neighboring country.

"Sister Mary, if you want arms support, I can ask the Bock family to provide it."

Zenobia Frank said with a smile. The Bock family she was referring to was also a Creed family.

Mary raised her eyebrows slightly, "Aren't you going to be the Princess of Derwent soon?"

"Yes, sister, I will marry and go to the Northern Continent after the Harvest Festival, but this will not prevent me from becoming Remus Burke's mistress. He likes young, beautiful, and high-ranking ladies like me."

Zenobia Frank smiled slightly. She was just 18 years old, and her face was full of youthful aura. She looked more lively and lovely than Mary.

The Remus Bock she mentioned was about the same age as Grand Duke Moria. He was the head of the Bock family and was known as the guardian of the West. His family was also engaged in the black industry and had a close relationship with the widow Mrs. Milos.

"Mary, you should learn from your sister and make good use of your beauty instead of just focusing on fighting like a man."

Mary's uncle, Yar Frank, said that his Knights of Flame have 2 elite soldiers, and this time he will lead the Knights to participate in the attack on the Court of the Blue Dragon.

"Yes, your three marriages are meaningless, and becoming the overlord of the South will not help the Frank family gain more benefits."

said the elder Agrippa.

"Who said it was meaningless? Mary has successfully made all the men in the country dislike the daughter of our Frank family."

Viva Frank said.

She is also Mary's cousin. She will replace Mary and marry into the Burns family of the Burns Empire to become the new queen of the 76-year-old emperor.

Perhaps it was this fate that made her hate Mary.

She believed that if it weren't for Mary's rebellion, she wouldn't have to marry into the Burns family.

Jessica Frank, the youngest at the long table, remained silent. She was introverted and didn't like to talk even to her family.

Jessica Frank will also marry to the Northern Continent to help the family stabilize the situation in the Northern Continent.

In fact, this is not the first time that the Frank family has married their daughter to the Northern Continent. The Northern Continent already has a considerable force belonging to the Frank family.

In the future, they will help Auglas to annex the entire North and South Continents. They are part of the Frank family's overall layout and are also pawns in the hands of the Frank family.

Mary didn't want to be a chess piece, she only wanted to be the chess player. It was precisely because of this that she angered the elders of the family.

Unfortunately, Randall is behind her, and the family elders also have to give face to the Pope, so they can only let Mary grow wild.

Mary didn't care about her sisters' sarcasm, she even felt a little sympathy for them.

What are these poor women who cannot control their own destiny so complacent about?

Although Mary got married three times, none of them went against her personal wishes. She gained a lot of benefits from her three marriages, well, except for the third one.

But other women in the Frank family do not have the ability to choose marriage freely.

Ophelia and Mary are both outliers in the family, but unfortunately Ophelia also stands on Augustus' side.

Otherwise, Mary believed that she would become friends with Ophelia. "Mary, tell me, what is your real purpose for coming home this time?"

Agrippa asked.

"Elder, I am the only Seven-Star Order Knight among Frank's younger generation. I cannot lose my divinity, otherwise the Frank family will lose the only one who could become a legendary knight."

Mary's purpose this time was to negotiate.

She had already learned the secret of the special believers from Randall.

Special believers have a one in a thousand chance of obtaining divinity, even if it is only a little bit of divinity, but this little bit of divinity can be transferred.

In other words, as long as Elder Agrippa is willing to help Mary, Mary can regain her divinity and continue on the path of knighthood.

"Mary. You want my divinity?"

A glint of anger flashed in Agrippa's eyes.

Auguras also frowned slightly.

All the Franks at the long table looked at Mary at the same time.

There was disbelief in their eyes.

Except for the great elder at the top who remained silent.

The elder seemed to be thinking about Mary's words.

Agrippa was already 150 years old, and it was impossible for him to become a golden believer anymore, but the divinity in his body could keep him alive, and that was all.

For Agrippa, divinity was merely a life-extending thing.

The Frank family has many ways to prolong their lives.

"Mary, you can't let Elder Agrippa pay for your mistakes."

Auglas said.

He didn't want Mary to make any further progress; she had already left him far behind.

Even though he was walking the path of a believer and Mary was walking the path of a knight, and the two paths were not the same extraordinary path, Augustus had to admit that Mary's talent was still above his.

At least until now, he has just entered the silver believer, and it will take at least thirty or forty years before he can have the opportunity to become a special believer to obtain divinity, unless he finds a special way to speed up.

"Augus, are you scared? Afraid that someone better than you will appear in the family? Oh, you're not the best anyway."

Mary scoffed.

The 22 people at the long table began to talk, and Agrippa's face became more and more ugly.

Because he knew what the family would choose.

The loss of divinity meant that Agrippa could never become a candidate for Pope.

Of course, the probability of him becoming a candidate for Pope at his age is not high, but he still can't see through it. This is called being in the know.

"Mary, convince Randall to crown Augustus. In return, the family will have Elder Agrippa transfer divinity to you. You must also achieve something within three months of receiving the divinity and repay the family."

The Great Elder spoke slowly.

Agrippa looked at the Great Elder with a complicated expression and said, "Father, you are going to destroy my path to godhood with your own hands."

There is nothing wrong with what Agrippa said, because the Golden Followers are already equivalent to demigods, and are only one step away from reaching the level of angels.

Even if he cannot achieve it in his lifetime, as long as there is a little divinity in his body, he believes that he has hope.

The Great Elder sighed, "Agrippa, face reality. If you could succeed, you would have already done so. Your little bit of divinity was acquired at great cost to the family. For the long-term development of the family, you must transfer it to Mary. If Mary fails to become a legendary knight, we will take it back."

Agrippa wanted to say something more, but seeing the looks in his tribesmen's eyes, he could only lower his head in frustration and replied indifferently, "Yes, father."

"Respected Great Elder, I will repay the family within three months and will never let the family down."

Mary said confidently.

Seeing that the situation was set, Augustus could only sigh inwardly.

He hoped to obtain the Blue Dragon Whip as soon as possible and build an invincible team, so that even if Mary controlled the entire South, he would be able to destroy her in one fell swoop.

Although I don't want family infighting, this situation is bound to happen as long as Mary doesn't die.

"Don't sigh, Augustus. The family will never treat you unfairly."

The great elder said.

"Of course, I will successfully become the emperor of the Holy Empire."

Auglas said.

"Future emperor, remember your status as a member of the Frank family. Don't rely too much on Moria and Hall. Hurry up and marry a queen of equal status to expand the Frank family."

"Yes, elder."

The family dinner lasted for three hours.

After Augulas returned to the castle, he immediately summoned Lien Moriah, even though it was already early in the morning.

But Li En, who didn't need to sleep, had to say goodbye to Dorothy, who loved reading, and went to the palace.

"Mary will gain a bit of divinity, restoring her power as a Knight of the Seven Star Order."

Augustus didn't beat around the bush and said directly to Li En,
"Believe me, the first thing she will do after gaining divinity is to attack the Blue Moon Territory. She will kill Katherine Jackson without hesitation. Even the witches around Katherine Jackson will be unable to protect her."

"His Majesty the King wants me to summon the Eye of Doom and sacrifice Mary."

Li En is a smart man and understands things quickly.

"You can't do that. You can't summon the Eye of Doom here. This is the royal capital."

Auguras may not know that although the Eye of Doom is equivalent to an evil god, he is not an evil god in the true sense. He may be a righteous god, so his projection can appear in the royal capital.

Li En couldn't explain this to Auglas either.

Because he had completely broken with the Eye of Doom, it was impossible for him to sacrifice Mary to him and increase his power.

Not long ago, Li Encai even stole his woman and turned his followers into his slaves.

In addition, Soraya's authority and luck may also be an extension of bad luck, and it is likely that it is the authority of Jiari, the owner of the [Eye of Doom].

"Then what should I do?"

Li En deliberately made things difficult.

He knew that Augusti Catherine was also trying to make himself anxious.

"Did you know that the path of chivalry is very harsh on women?"

A hint of coldness flashed in Auglas' eyes.

Li En was stunned. "What do you mean?"

"If a woman does not protect her chastity, she cannot continue to practice the way of chivalry."

Auglas said.

The corners of Li En's mouth twitched. What kind of dirty trick is this?
Do you want me to sleep with your sister?

Sorry, I'm a family man.

"I did try to charm Mary in order to gain her trust, but as you can see, my charm wasn't enough to win her over. I'm afraid I'll have to leave this to someone else."

Li En would never do such a thing.

Seeing Li En's reluctance, Augustus was a little confused.

Although he admitted that Mary's character was a little bad, Mary was definitely a great beauty and the overlord of the South. This kind of thing would be a pie in the sky for any man.

Li En, the rumored playboy, actually refused directly.

Could it be that he is devoted to the orphan girl from the Jackson family?

"If you don't do this, I will hand it over to the Prime Minister."

Auglas said.

Tsk? Let my grandpa go?
You want Mary to be my grandma?
Li En complained inwardly and replied to Augulas, "I've thought of another way."

"any solution?"

Auguras' eyes lit up.

"Until I succeed, I don't want to reveal this method yet because it's too despicable. Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will stop her from continuing to advance and become a legend."

Li En said with a smile.

Augulas was slightly stunned. Li En actually came up with a method even more despicable than the one he proposed? He is indeed someone I value.

He needs such a black glove with no bottom line.

Maybe from now on all those dirty things can be left to Li En.

After bidding farewell to Augulas, Li En boarded the carriage for the return trip, his mind full of thoughts.

The reason why Augustus was so anxious to see me was probably because he participated in the Frank family's dinner today. At the dinner, Augustus learned that Mary had a chance to restore her divinity. If someone else helped Mary, the Frank family would not know about it. The conclusion was that there was someone in the Frank family who could help Mary restore her divinity, so who was it?
Maybe Dorothy would know.

Li En returned to the tower and told Dorothy what happened.

Then they got a shocking fact.

The divinity of a special believer can be transferred to others.

It was most likely Cardinal Agrippa Frank of the Church who wanted to transfer the divinity to Mary.

"What are you going to do? If you need my help, I can help you protect Catherine."

Dorothy said.

"No, I've already figured out what to do with Mary."

Li En plans to use [Gambler of Fate] to steal Mary's divinity.

Fortunately, his incredible card skills have not been exposed yet. He had been keeping them to himself before in Yusofa.

As for Catherine, he would protect her himself.

"Thank you, Dorothy."

"I can't help you at all."

"No, you've done me a great favor. I don't need to read these three books anymore."

This incident gave Li En inspiration. Li En already knew how to avoid becoming a 100% loyal follower of the God Tiger.

Divinity is the key.

But it needs to be experimented on here with Mary.

Only if the experiment is successful can it prove that your guess is correct.

"Did I really help you?"

Dorothy asked.

"Yes."

Li En gave Dorothy a gentle hug and said, "I'm going back now. See you tomorrow, Dorothy."

Dorothy's cheeks flushed slightly, and she nodded slightly, "Goodbye."

It was already five in the morning when Li En returned to Alexburg.

In order not to disturb Catherine's rest, Li En walked lightly. He changed into pajamas, quietly climbed onto the bed, and fell asleep holding Catherine in his arms.

At the first light of dawn, golden sunlight shines through the ancient stone window lattices, casting patches of light on the broad streets of Yalong City.

The air is filled with the intertwined scent of magic and life, and the smoke wafting from the chimneys seems to carry a touch of magic. The city is immersed in a mysterious and peaceful atmosphere.

Catherine slowly opened her eyes and saw Li En's handsome face. She closed them again, wanting to immerse herself in this moment for a little longer.

"Little lazy boy, get up."

Li En scratched Catherine's nose with his hand.

The soothing music of the harp slowly entered the room, putting Catherine in a trance.

"Isn't the party over yet?"

"Yes, to welcome you, the banquet will last for three days and three nights, just like when we got engaged in Blue Moon Territory."

Lee En kissed Catherine's forehead.

Katherine rubbed her sleepy eyes, "Well, then I really should get up."

"If you don't want to participate, you can always stay here."

Li En said gently.

"That's too rude. Besides, there are many people in Blue Moon Territory whom I can't reach. Perhaps they can provide me with some valuable advice on my governance."

Catherine got up from the bed and asked the maid to help her wash up.

The servants prepared a dress for her today. Although it was not designed by Anne, it was also very gorgeous.

"Where's Annie?"

Katherine asked.

"She's been busy making money lately. By the way, she's no longer my maid. She's a retainer now."

Li En shrugged helplessly, "Come on, let me change your dress myself."

"Isn't this not good?"

Catherine's cheeks flushed slightly.

"What's wrong with that? I like helping you change your clothes."

Li En's mouth curled up slightly, "Let me see if you have gained weight recently."

Catherine became even more shy, after all, there were servants present.

"You guys should step back first."

The maids left the room one after another, and Li En and Catherine kissed passionately in the morning light.

The sudden sound of footsteps interrupted the rhythm of the two.

"Master Li En, something happened. The head of the family asked you to go over."

Anne stood at the door and spoke softly.

Originally, Anne didn't want to disturb Li En and Catherine, mainly because out of sight, out of mind.

But this matter seemed a bit troublesome. Annie thought it would be better to inform Li En in person, since she was Li En's retainer.
Li En frowned slightly. No one likes to be disturbed when they are intimate.

He asked as he dressed Catherine.

"what's up?"

"Miss Violet Zeke, Miss Charlotte Murray... and Miss Stella Benjamin, a total of 13 noble ladies, are missing."

Anne spoke slowly. Because she couldn't remember all the names of some people, she chose to skip them and only reported a specific number.

Li En suspected that he had heard it wrong.

You have to know that this is the Duke of Moria's residence, Alexburg, one of the top three districts with the highest security. How could a case of collective disappearance of aristocratic girls occur?
Then he remembered these names. Weren't they the noble girls who had come into contact with him yesterday?

Could it be such a coincidence?

So who on earth could have taken these girls from Alexburg?

The answer is already there.

Cousin Angelina.

Li En only saw her entry of [Forbidden Love], but he didn't expect that she also had the attribute of a yandere. Was she trying to catch all the women who had come into contact with her?
Catherine looked at Li En nervously, "How could this happen?"

"It's okay, let's go check it out."

Li En patted Catherine's shoulder.

The two of them left the bedroom with Anne and went to Grand Duke Moria's study.

The fathers of the missing noble girls also gathered in the study. They were all lords and were waiting for an explanation from Grand Duke Moria.

Even though Grand Duke Moria is in a high position and has great power, these nobles are a formidable force when united. None of them are willing to suffer in silence, especially since the missing person is their precious darling. In addition, the recent kidnapping of a noble girl in the royal capital has made them even more nervous.

"Grandpa, you are looking for me."

Li En walked into the study and greeted Grand Duke Moria politely.

Grand Duke Moria nodded slightly, "Li En, I have a very important matter for you."

"I've heard it."

"Well, I hope you can help the lords find their daughter as soon as possible."

Grand Duke Moria was talking about finding these missing noble girls, not solving the case.

Li En immediately understood what the old man meant. This matter must be separated from the Moria family. He could help find someone, but the Moria family would never take the blame.

Even Grand Duke Moria had guessed that this was an inside job.

The blame should be borne by the Moria family.

But Li En also needs to find a reason to get rid of him.

"For the sake of their reputation, this must be done in secret."

A duke said.

He also read the recent newspaper news and did not want his family's reputation to be tarnished.

The other lords also seconded the motion, hoping that Li En could proceed in secret.

"Okay, I'll find all the missing girls within a day, if they're still alive."

Li En said.

Everyone's expressions changed.

This sentence made them realize the seriousness of the problem.

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

Katherine asked.

"Miss Catherine, please continue to attend the ball. Leave this matter to Li En."

Grand Duke Moria said, while the other lords looked at Catherine with obvious unfriendly eyes.

They had heard some rumors that Catherine had a "bad luck constitution" and would bring bad luck to those around her, and that the Jackson family was probably destroyed because of Catherine.

If this is really the case, then they would not welcome Catherine to the royal capital, even though she is the granddaughter-in-law of Grand Duke Moria.
