Miss Witch, it's time to clean up the entries
Chapter 210: Disappearance of Catherine
Chapter 210: Disappearance of Catherine ( words updated, please vote)
Grand Duke Moria had long seen that Li En did not want to stay in the royal capital. He tried his best to persuade him in order to make Li En feel guilty and finally give in. If he did not want to stay with me, then he could go to the North. After Li En rejected Grand Duke Moria twice, he was too embarrassed to refuse for the third time.
He could only agree to take a trip to the North and look for the [Eye of the Past].
The effect of [Eyes of the Past] is very similar to that of [Time Traveler], and I don't know if there is a connection between them.
But there is no doubt that the side effects of gifts will definitely be greater than those of entries.
Li En has learned from Dorothy that the cost of using the fairy tale book once is the user's life span, and the cost will increase with the number of uses. For example, if the first use only consumes one year of life, then the second use will consume 1 years, and the third use will consume 10 years.
A normal person will die after using it three times at most, and it is impossible to use it a fourth time.
The only way for the user to avoid death is to ask to enter the fairy tale when using the fairy tale book for the third time, become the person in the book, and live in the book forever.
Dorothy used the story of "Happy Town" in the fairy tale book. Although she sent two groups of people in, theoretically it was only used once, which consumed one year of her life.
For a normal young person, wasting one year of life is not a big deal, but for Dorothy, wasting one year of life is equivalent to accelerating the acquisition of the [On the Verge of Losing Control] entry.
If it weren't for Li En, she would never use the fairy tale book.
Thinking of this, Li En suddenly understood why Dorothy wanted to go to the North with him.
Dorothy didn't know when she would receive the [On the Verge of Losing Control] entry, it could be as short as a week or as long as one or two months. During this time, she felt most at ease staying with Li En.
Of course, she can actually use portal magic. No matter where Li En is, she can teleport to Li En at any time.
But after the On the Verge of Losing Control entry appears, any form of mana consumption may lead to true loss of control.
Therefore, staying with the 'doctor' is the best choice for the 'patient'.
"That child seems to be very interested in you, don't let her down."
Grand Duke Moria suddenly said.
Um, wait, the last time we chatted, we were talking about marrying Catherine, right?
Grandpa, your attitude changes so quickly.
Li En complained inwardly and changed the subject, "Are you ready for the Harvest Festival?"
"Of course. The Harvest Festival is in three days, and all preparations for the celebration are complete."
"The Pope has agreed to crown Augustus?"
"I can't let you summon angels again, can I?"
A smile appeared on the corner of Grand Duke Moria's mouth.
Judging from his tone, Randall has already agreed to crown Augustus.
There was no way. Randall's plan to kill two birds with one stone by using the Eye of Doom failed. On the surface, he had to compromise with the angel and agree to Auguras's request.
Perhaps Mary is involved. The Frank family promised to restore Mary's divinity, so what was the price?
It is normal for a big family like this to cultivate the younger generation at all costs, but from their attitude towards Mary, we can see that although Mary is incredibly talented, she is not favored in the family, so she must definitely pay a price to get the family's support.
The reason why Li En wanted to leave after the Harvest Festival was definitely not to witness Augustus's enthronement.
During the Harvest Festival, the Empire would hold a royal banquet, and every royal banquet in the past years would feature Empire brand products.
By then, all the big names will come down to play a game or two.
Even Auguras and Mary belong to the audience of Empire cards.
All Li En needs to do is get an invitation to the royal banquet so that he can sit at the same table with Mary and play cards.
With the current status of a rising star in the empire, it is not difficult to get an invitation.
Without the Gao Junling incident, the relationship between Augustus and Li En returned to the honeymoon period, and it was impossible for Augustus not to invite Li En.
If Li En didn't already have Catherine, the Lord of Blue Moon Territory, as his fiancée, it wouldn't be impossible for the Frank family to sacrifice a princess to marry Li En.
After all, talents are hard to come by, and talents from the Creed family are even harder to come by.
Li En chatted with Grand Duke Moria for a while before leaving Grand Duke Moria's study and going back to rest.
At night, Cameron and the witch Ashe also took the magic train back to Yalong City to guard the bureau.
Neither of them knew why they appeared in the border area of Gao Junling.
But what puzzled Ashe even more was that the magic in her body began to infect her body, and she gained the [On the Verge of Losing Control] attribute.
Cameron's memory recounted the director's request that she accompany Ashe to deal with Gao Junling's revolutionary rebellion. However, they found no remnants of Fergus's party, proving that all the Fergus thugs had been killed on the train. Furthermore, the incident didn't involve any supernatural beings at all. This left Cameron perplexed. Since when did witches become the sole source of public security? Were those in the Public Security Bureau truly thieves?
What is most puzzling is Ashe's physical condition. Why did it suddenly become like this?
The next morning.
The soft light of the sun shines on the tall and handsome Gothic building, and the colorful oriel windows reflect colorful beams of light, shining on the believers praying in the church.
There was an endless stream of horse-drawn carriages coming and going on the city's wide streets, and people who got up early began their busy day.
The sweet aroma wafted from the bakery, the clanging of the blacksmith's shop echoed, and a barefoot newsboy shouted the breaking news: "The White Pearl has been attacked by the revolutionary army!"
The train station is full of trains coming in and out, bringing new life to this city where magic and technology are combined.
It seemed as if Gao Junling had never encountered a blasphemy disaster, and the attack on the White Pearl only caused some people to talk about it.
Rather than the attack on the White Pearl, they were more concerned about the mysterious knight who saved the White Pearl. This knight was exposed by the media, and according to the description of witnesses, there was an 80% probability that he was the upstart of the empire, Lien Moriah.
This alone doubled the newspaper's sales.
People in Gaojunling are discussing whether Li En Moriah is in Gaojunling.
Yalong City, which also belongs to the Holy Empire, also welcomed its morning.
The church spires in the city are faintly visible in the morning mist, and the bronze bell tongue on the bell tower makes a melodious and steady sound as the gears turn.
Catherine had already gotten up with the help of Mina and other maids. She was going to say goodbye to Li En and leave Alexburg today.
Although she was reluctant to leave her lover, Catherine knew she had more important things to do.
The Blue Moon Territory cannot be without a lord, especially since it has just experienced a great war.
The people need their lords.
Li En put Catherine, Dora, Mina, Knight Kag Mori and the unconscious Lor into the carriage.
Li En and Catherine kissed passionately, and the scene was envied by others.
"Catherine, remember to get enough rest and don't let yourself get too tired."
"Yeah, you too. I'll be waiting for you in Blue Moon Territory."
Li En hugged Dora and said, "Ms. Magic Box, remember to protect Catherine."
"I see. What a nagging fellow."
Dora said this impatiently, but there was a hint of nostalgia in her eyes.
She did not agree to let Catherine be Li En's mistress.
That's because in her opinion, she is not special to Li En. Li En treats her like other witches, just helping her clean up the entries, and has no other feelings for her.
If this is the only relationship, then it would be too unfair to myself, Catherine and Li En.
The method Mina mentioned might be a common method used by secular old nobles, but for them, it would only cause trouble for the three of them.
Unless Li En confesses her feelings, Dora will never be willing to be his mistress.
Patting Li En's shoulder, he said, "Wang Du is very dangerous, so be careful yourself."
"Ms. Magic Box, don't underestimate me."
Li En said with a smile.
Li En got off the carriage and waved goodbye to everyone.
The exclusive carriage belonging to the Blue Moon Territory slowly drove away from Alexburg.
Catherine's eyes were slightly red, and her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist.
She tried hard not to look back, fearing that if she did she would be reluctant to leave.
At this moment, she suddenly regretted becoming a lord and shouldering the mission of revenge for the Jackson family. If she were just an ordinary person, would she be able to stay with her lover forever?
"Just cry if you want to. Don't hold it in. You're pregnant now, my Catherine."
Dora said gently.
"No, we'll meet again."
Catherine said firmly, "The people of Blue Moon Territory need me more."
"Let's talk about something happy. Have you heard about Gao Junling's incident?"
The lively and cheerful Dora talked about Gao Junling's affairs around Yalong City.
"What happened to Gao Junling?"
The maid Mina asked curiously.
"I heard that a mysterious knight bravely stepped forward when Fergus's gang attacked the White Pearl and saved hundreds of passengers on the train. You know, this kind of thing used to be done by witches. The fact that knights could put aside their pride and save civilians is amazing in itself."
Dora said with a smile.
Mina nodded heavily.
The driver, Knight Kag Mori, did not join in the ladies' conversation.
The voices in the carriage gradually changed from three to two.
Dora and Mina were having a great time chatting about Gao Junling.
They didn't seem to notice that there was suddenly one person missing from the car.
The topic gradually shifted from Gao Junling back to Lan Yueling.
"Mina, are you ready? There are a lot of things waiting for you when you get back."
"There's nothing I can do. Luo Er is still in a coma. I can only help handle government affairs on his behalf. I just hope Luo Er can wake up soon."
"I don't know how lucky Lor is to have a fiancée like you."
Dora said angrily. When she thought about the fact that Lor was not only a comatose vegetative person, but also had three pregnant mistresses in the Blue Moon Territory, and most importantly, he was in a nominal marriage with Mary, Dora felt sorry for her best friend Mina and she wanted to strangle the black-haired handsome boy lying unconscious beside her.
However, Mina did not think there was anything wrong with this. Although she did not love Lor, she always felt that it was her responsibility to take care of Lor and Blue Moon Territory.
After bidding farewell to his friends in Blue Moon Territory, Li En returned to the Duke's Mansion.
He didn't know why, but he always felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, as if he had lost something important.
He looked back at the carriage going away.
Before this, he didn't know that he cared so much about the disease witch Dora.
Had they been more than just friends all along?
Why am I so reluctant to let her go?
But, are you really reluctant to pull more?
Li En didn't know either. He shook his head, and the sense of discomfiture that arose in his heart was quickly dispelled by the appearance of Grand Duke Moria.
"Li En, let's go, we should go into the palace."
Grand Duke Moria had his golden hair combed meticulously, wore aristocratic formal attire, and wore many medals of honor on his chest as he boarded the Moria family's old carriage.
"Yes, it's been so long. I should also close the case of the 'Kidnap of the Noble Girl' and the subsequent 'Blasphemy Worm Case' initiated by Duke Giles. Otherwise, Auguras will not be able to rest assured even during his coronation."
Li En muttered to himself silently and got on the carriage.
The grandfather and grandson came to the palace, and Li En followed Grand Duke Moria to the hall.
Inside the majestic palace, thick red carpets cover the spacious halls, and magnificent chandeliers emit soft light, reflecting the exquisite murals on the walls.
The tall oak table is placed with exquisitely carved tableware and crystal clear wine glasses. The faint scent of wax and sandalwood are intertwined, filling the air with a calm and solemn atmosphere.
Many ministers of Parliament gathered here, including Earl Hall and the Director of the Guardian Bureau.
Those who can participate in the meeting are basically the bigwigs who hold real power in the kingdom.
Before this, Li En had always held meetings in Augustus's study and had never formally participated in the King's Conference.
This also indirectly confirms that although he does not hold any official position now, the king has recognized his status among the powerful.
King Auguras sat on a throne inlaid with jewels. He was dressed in gorgeous robes and wore a golden crown on his head. He looked majestic and solemn.
His eyes were as sharp as a hawk's as he scanned the nobles and ministers gathered below.
These people were dressed in clothes made of various colors of silk and velvet, embroidered with family emblems, looking both noble and mysterious.
The meeting was about to begin and the atmosphere was somewhat serious.
It seems that people who sit high on the throne naturally have a sense of oppression towards those around them.
Some ministers began to report the situation, and Augustus frowned, especially when the Chief of Public Security reported.
Augulas felt that except for Grand Duke Moria and Earl Hall, all his subordinates were a bunch of good-for-nothings.
After the ministers had finished speaking, Li En, the new imperial noble without a position, finished reporting on the "noble girl kidnapping case" and the "Bud Manor blasphemous insect" case that Auglas had recently assigned to him.
A smile finally appeared on Augustus's face, and the ministers instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
"You did a great job, Li En Moriah. What reward do you need?"
Auglas said.
"Your Majesty, I do not need any reward. Sharing your worries is what I should do. But if you must offer me a favor, I hope to send my sister Diane and my brother Parker to the North after the Harvest Festival."
Li En said respectfully.
Although Auglas didn't want Li En to leave the royal capital, since Li En had spoken and asked for a favor, he had no reason to refute. After all, Li En found a very good excuse.
"Okay. But this isn't a gift. However, your contribution to the kingdom must be rewarded. I will grant you the title of 'Rose Knight' as a thank you for saving so many innocent noble girls in the empire."
[Obtain new entry [Rose Knight]]
[You have been given the name Rose Knight by King Auguras of the Holy Empire. Although it is only an honorary title, you will also receive a government-subsidized salary every month.]
Add new entries?
Now no matter what new entries are added, it will be good for Li En.
Because each time [Time Traveler] is used, it consumes its own characteristics, which is an entry.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, your generosity. I appreciate this title."
Li En politely retreated to the side of Grand Duke Moria.
Grand Duke Moria's face was filled with pride and pride.
Suddenly, a messenger in a black robe walked in from the door. His footsteps echoed in the hall, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.
The messenger knelt down, took out a sealed letter from his bosom, and respectfully handed it to the young king.
Augustus opened the letter with a frown on his face. The entire hall fell into silence, with only the slight crackling of the candlelight being heard.
"The Burns Empire has opened up a new route that also leads to the Azure Dragon Court. They have assembled a large army and are preparing to attack the Azure Dragon Court."
Augulas slammed the letter on the table.
Almost the entire continent knew that the Holy Empire had opened a new route that could lead directly to the Azure Dragon Court. Moreover, the Holy Empire had been gathering troops to attack the Azure Dragon Court.
The Burns Empire did this undoubtedly to snatch this piece of fat meat from the Holy Empire.
Auguras can't tolerate predators.
He stood up, and the nobles and ministers suddenly quieted down and the atmosphere became tense.
The king drummed his fingers heavily on the table, each tap announcing the coming storm.
A minister in a red robe stepped out of the ranks, his eyes gleaming with determination, his voice revealing loyalty and courage.
"Your Majesty, we must march as soon as possible. We cannot let Burns land in the Azure Dragon Court before us."
His words were like sparks, igniting the passion in everyone's hearts.
Auglas turned around, his eyes sharp, a look of determination appeared on his face, as if he had made a decision.
Others in the hall also began to whisper, and the discussions grew louder and louder. Everyone felt that a storm was brewing.
Augustus waved his hand, and silence immediately returned to the hall.
He looked at Earl Hall and said, "My Lord Earl, what do you think?"
"I think it might not be a bad idea to let them test the depth of the Azure Dragon Court."
Earl Hall said with a calm expression.
As Earl Hall finished speaking, the ministers nodded one after another.
"The Azure Dragon Court is inherently dangerous. If the Burns people are willing to serve as the vanguard, there is no need for us to stop them."
Augulas looked at Grand Duke Moria again. Grand Duke Moria, who had originally disapproved of the expedition, did not express any opinion.
This can be regarded as a tacit acknowledgement of standing on the same side as Earl Hall.
"Your Majesty, you should be more concerned about the coronation in three days. Please leave the affairs of the Azure Dragon Court to me."
Lord Hall said.
Augustus nodded slightly, agreeing with the Earl's opinion.
Then they discussed the details of the coronation ceremony, and Li En felt that the meeting was becoming more and more boring.
I don’t know whether Dora and the others have left Yalong City. Judging from the speed at which Lan Yue led the magic carriage, it is highly likely that they have not. Maybe they have only left the upper three districts.
For some reason, Dora clearly had red hair, but in Li En's mind, there was a woman with black hair.
It's just that the face is a little blurry.
"When did I meet the black-haired girl? Could it be that you're homesick?"
Li En muttered silently to himself.
He felt that he had not encountered a black-haired girl since he traveled to this world.
The king's meeting finally ended, and Li En left with Grand Duke Moria.
Arriving at the palace gate, Li En said goodbye to Grand Duke Moria and decided to go see Dorothy and Alexander.
So that I don’t always have wild thoughts.
Now that he has a fiancée and a son born from a dragon egg, he has a real family bond.
Li En came to Dorothy's tower, drank a cup of magic bubbles made by Dorothy herself, and teased Alexander, but his mood still did not improve.
Until Cameron secretly brought the witch Ashe to the tower. Ashe was 8 years old and had black hair.
Li En looked at her in surprise, and that extremely vague figure flashed through his mind again.
"Master Guild Master, please save Ashe. She has acquired the [On the Verge of Losing Control] attribute for some reason."
Cameron said in a pleading tone.
Ellie also stared at Li En blankly.
Li En was slightly surprised.
He didn't expect that the future of everyone in Gao Junling had been changed, but Ashe still consumed too much magic power.
This may indicate that the [Time Traveler] cannot change the witch's ending.
"Have I seen Ash somewhere before?"
Li En suddenly asked.
Cameron shook his head. "Master, that's unlikely. Ashe is a native of Yalong City. Ever since she awakened her witch talent, she has been training at the Guardian Bureau. How could she have met you?"
"I'm somewhat familiar with this black hair."
Li En said.
"Maybe Ashley has a thin Jackson family bloodline. Only the Jackson family has black hair."
Dorothy said lightly.
“Yes, Jackson has black hair, but there are no women in the Jackson family anymore.”
Li En is very familiar with this surname.
That's because this is the surname of the head of the Blue Moon Territory. Unfortunately, after the Jackson family suffered the disaster of the disease witch going out of control, only Lor was left.
Lor was killed by Mary again in the Black Tower, and was resurrected by Randall with a gift and turned into Randall's puppet.
In order to save Lor, Li En gave Lor Dorothy's special potion, but the price was that Lor was in a deep sleep and no one knew when he would wake up.
The Blue Moon Territory can now only be managed by Lor's fiancée Mina.
After lamenting the tragic fate of the Jackson family, Li En began to clear the entries for the witch Ashe.
[Entry Points +4000]
As for the "brainwashing" work of Ashe after the cleanup was completed, Li En directly handed it over to Dorothy, the vice president of the Entry Mutual Aid Association.
Ellie and Cameron also tried their best to cooperate with Dorothy.
Watching the three people constantly instilling the belief of the Entry Mutual Aid Association to save the witch into the 8-year-old girl, Li En suddenly felt like he had become the boss of a pyramid scheme organization.
Since he had no interest in doing anything, Li En simply leaned against the fireplace and closed his eyes to rest.
He stroked the ring on his hand and asked doubtfully,
"Dorothy, have I proposed to you?"
When Dorothy heard this, her fair cheeks quickly turned red.
She shook her head, "No, our relationship hasn't been made public yet."
"Then why am I wearing a ring?"
Li En raised his hand, the sunlight shone through the glass onto his hand, and a golden ring was adorned on his slender finger.
He took off the ring, which still had Catherine's name engraved on the inside.
"Katherine? Who is this?"
Li En frowned in confusion.
"Catherine?"
Dorothy also tilted her head in confusion, "Why is Catherine's name on your ring?"
"Is there something wrong with my memory?"
Feeling a strong sense of incongruity, Li En sat up from the armchair.
He remembered that he had changed Gao Junling's history, causing the memories of Ellie, Cameron and others to be reorganized. So, would his own memory also be affected because some people changed history?
No, Dorothy didn't lose her memory last time, so there's no reason why she would lose her memory now.
"Dorothy, you really don't remember who Catherine is?"
Lee En asked.
Dorothy shook her head. "I really don't know."
Li En discovered that Dorothy was not lying.
Could it be that the [Time Traveler] not only took away the entry of the [Demon Father], but also cost him extra memories?
This proves that Catherine must have some connection with the entry "Father of Demons".
But why can't I remember Catherine, and why can't the people around me remember Catherine either?
So not only was part of one's own memory erased, but even the perceptions of those around him were changed.
The more I think about it, the more possible it becomes.
Li En decided to ask Soraya.
He is already an angel, and most likely will not be affected by the [Time Traveler] entry.
Thinking of this, Li En left the witches behind and entered a closed room alone.
After closing the door, Li En summoned Soraya out.
"Soraya, who is Catherine?"
Soraya paused for a moment before recalling, "Catherine is your fiancée."
"fiancée?"
Li En's brows furrowed, "Is my relationship with her good?"
"You two are in a good relationship, and she's pregnant with your child. You're planning to get married in November."
Soraya said truthfully, "But it's strange. If the master hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten this person."
Can even Soraya's memory be affected?
Li En was horrified when he thought about it.
No wonder I can’t muster the energy to do anything, I always feel like something is missing.
It turned out that he had forgotten Catherine, and she was pregnant with his child.
At this moment, Li En suddenly understood the reason why Catherine disappeared.
Because he sacrificed the characteristics of the [Devil Father] in exchange for the opportunity of the [Time Traveler] to travel through time and save everyone in Gao Junling.
And the baby in Catherine's belly was indeed a demon, and he was indeed the father of the child.
Since the entry cannot eliminate the devil directly, we choose to eliminate the devil's mother.
This could also cause him to lose his identity as the [Father of Demons].
Because his fiancée, Catherine, who was pregnant with the devil's child, disappeared, he was not the devil's father.
This is the true price of using the Time Traveler.
Li En decided to go back in time and find Catherine.
But when he used the [Time Traveler] again, he found that he could not travel back.
It's not because he can't pay the price, but because Catherine herself is the price paid, and she can't be retrieved by the [Time Traveler].
This made Li En quite depressed.
Even though he had not yet remembered his past with Catherine, he already knew that Catherine was a very important person to him.
Li En checked his own entries and found that the entry "First Time Father" had also disappeared.
This proves that Catherine's existence has been completely erased.
So where is Catherine now? Is she dead, or has she disappeared?
By the time Li En walked out of the room, the Barrier Witch Ashe had successfully joined the Entry Mutual Aid Association and became the youngest member of the association.
"Lord Li En, Ashe is willing to believe in you from now on."
Said the black-haired loli Ashe.
"Ashe, go back to the Guardian Bureau. We don't need you here for the time being."
Li En was not in the mood to greet the new member and directly drove the little loli away.
By the way, Ellie and Cameron were also called away.
Only Dorothy, Li En, the dragon egg and many monsters were left in the tower.
"Dorothy, I might need help."
The only person Li En can turn to now is Dorothy.
This legendary witch knows a lot of magic and may be able to help find the missing Catherine.
Li En told Dorothy about his situation, and Dorothy was very surprised.
"I need something that's been contaminated with her scent. I can help you find her location."
Dorothy said as she flipped through the old magic book.
"it is good."
Lee En handed the ring to Dorothy.
This ring has Catherine's name engraved on it, so it is naturally related to her.
Dorothy took the ring, placed it on the map, and began to chant magic.
It ends with a difficult and awkward chant.
The ring slowly moved on the map and moved to the location of the Azure Dragon Court.
Catherine turned back to look at Li En, "She is in the Azure Dragon Court."
Why is it in the Blue Dragon Court?
No one could answer this question for the time being, and Li En only found the answer after he found Catherine.
But since it is still in this world, it is good news.
Perhaps there is a place in the Azure Dragon Court that can accommodate all those whose traces have been erased.
Li En guessed so and decided to change his plan, temporarily giving up the journey to the north and going directly to the Blue Dragon Court.
As for Dorothy, theoretically she certainly couldn't follow him to the Azure Dragon Court. Any witch who went to the Azure Dragon Court would get out of control.
But in fact, Li En can clear the entries for Dorothy at any time. If she wants to follow him to the Azure Dragon Court, it will still be a help to Li En. At least she can help him find someone.
"Dorothy, I will go to the Azure Dragon Court. Although I still don't remember who Catherine is, I can feel that she must be someone very important to me. I must find her back."
"I'll accompany you."
Dorothy said seriously, "I also want to know who she is. But we must be prepared. The Azure Dragon Court is said to be very dangerous."
"I know. I'll leave after the Harvest Festival."
Li En looked at Dorothy with gratitude. She really had a great personality.
He planned to complete the plunder of Mary's divinity first, or at least possess divinity himself, before going to the Azure Dragon Court.
After all, he remembered that Lao Deng had repeatedly warned him not to participate in the expedition to the Blue Dragon Court.
Although he wanted to regain his lost memories and important people, Li En did not lose his mind.
Three days passed quickly.
The harvest festival of the Holy Empire has begun.
The golden sunlight sprinkled on the land of the Holy Empire, as if covering the land with a layer of gorgeous golden gauze.
In the streets and alleys, people dressed in festive costumes, their faces filled with joy and satisfaction. Children ran happily in the streets, waving colorful windmills and balloons in their hands and making crisp laughter.
In the square, a magnificent stage was covered with rice and a variety of fruits, symbols of a bountiful harvest. Rows of floral patterns sparkled in the sunlight. Farmers carried heavy baskets filled with plump corn and pumpkins, their faces flushed with pride and happiness. Behind them, oxcarts and horse-drawn carts were piled high with local specialties, from eggs to venison, from honey to wine, each one looking particularly tempting.
In the market, merchants hawk their produce, creating a bustling atmosphere. Steam rising from steamers evokes the enticing aroma of freshly baked bread and pastries. Meanwhile, from the blacksmith's shop, the clanging sounds of hammers forging exquisite ironware echo.
September 9st. This is undoubtedly a very important day for the citizens of the Holy Empire.
Because this is not only the annual harvest festival, but also the day of King Augustus's coronation.
Inside the magnificent cathedral, colorful light and shadows filter through the magnificent stained windows, and the air is filled with the mixed fragrance of candles and spices.
The young and handsome King Auglas is dressed in a robe inlaid with jewels, with a solemn and sacred expression. He holds the scepter in his right hand and the crown in his left hand, which symbolizes endless power.
He slowly walked up the steps leading to the altar, and with every step he took, he could hear his own heartbeat clearly.
Becoming emperor was the second and most crucial step in his political career.
He would become the youngest emperor of the Holy Empire, and his achievements would surpass those of any of his fathers.
This is his ambition and goal.
Pope Randall, wearing a white vestment and holding a scepter, his voice echoed in the church, announcing the official start of the sacred coronation ceremony.
Even though he was very reluctant, Randall still had to do it. This was a compromise.
This was the price he had to pay for losing to Auglas twice in a row, and the key figure in this was Lee En Moriah.
If this young man had not appeared, Randall believed he would not have lost.
Randall's eyes swept over all the dignitaries present and found the blond and blue-eyed Lee En Moriah in the crowd.
He was dressed in gorgeous clothes and carried a silver cane, a symbol of gentlemanliness, inlaid with countless gems.
But everyone knew that he used a cane not to highlight his gentlemanly status, but because he was blind.
Lee En Moriah was the only blind person present at this important occasion.
Randall slowly withdrew his gaze and looked at the young king in front of him.
Augustus knelt down and bowed his head to accept the Pope's blessing. The believers bowed their heads in prayer and the atmosphere was solemn.
As Pope Randall chanted "The Sacred and Inviolable Emperor,"
Augulas slowly stood up, and a crown was slowly placed on his head. The gems inlaid on the crown sparkled in the light, as if carrying the glory of the gods.
The nobles knelt down and the subjects cheered, expressing their respect and loyalty to the new emperor.
A complex emotion flashed across Auglas' face. He knew that from this moment on, he would start a new history for the Holy Empire.
The entire cathedral was filled with solemnity and awe, with only the footsteps of the ceremonial officers and the occasional bird calls breaking the silence.
The coronation ceremony was very boring, but Li En had to participate.
He stood in the church for two hours. If Li En were an ordinary person, his legs would be sore by now.
But this is nothing to the six-star blood knight.
Until the church session ended, Augustus toured the city in a luxurious carriage, and Li En still had to stay by his side.
Augulas has already regarded Li En as an important official, and his status is even higher than that of many children of old aristocratic families.
The streets are filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Surrounded by nobles and guards, Augustus came to the central square of the city to deliver his speech to the people of the country as emperor.
This message will be publicized through major newspapers and spread to every county in the Holy Empire.
This was not only the emperor's coronation speech, but also a call to war.
The Holy Empire declared war on the Azure Dragon Court.
Augustus gave a passionate speech in the square, igniting the enthusiasm of all the people.
I have to say that he has an amazing eloquence.
Li Endu was almost persuaded by him.
Just a little bit.
His thoughts were not actually on the square; he was still thinking about Catherine.
The missing fiancée, hopefully still alive.
These days, Li En tried to find traces of Catherine's existence, but he found that almost everyone had forgotten Catherine, even the people in Blue Moon Territory.
When Grand Duke Moria heard Catherine's name, he seemed to recall something, but he only remembered that this person had appeared before and did not know her relationship with Li En.
But Li En knew that Catherine must exist.
Because there was a faint fragrance in his room.
That was a smell that did not belong to him, nor to Anne, nor to Dorothy, nor to any other woman around him.
Maybe Catherine was with him before she disappeared.
"Lee En."
Grand Duke Moria's call brought Li En back to his wandering thoughts.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?"
"The speech is over, we can go back now."
"Is it over?"
Li En said in surprise.
Grand Duke Moria noticed his absent-mindedness and simply patted Li En's shoulder. "Let's go. The royal banquet is about to begin. Haven't you been looking forward to it for a long time?"
The Frank family's royal banquet was attended by all the members of the Frank family and the real powerful nobles of the empire.
Li En did receive the invitation, and it was not because of Grand Duke Moria.
He took a deep breath, it was time to face Mary.
Although he didn't know why he targeted Mary, he always felt that Mary did a lot of things that angered him.
In short, her divinity is determined by herself.
Last month, I received more than 600 monthly tickets. Although there is still a long way to go before reaching 1000, I am very happy. I hope I can ask for monthly tickets earlier this month and collect 1000 monthly tickets!
