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

Chapter 230 Human Desires Are Endless

"Only by telling Auglas that all this was my lie can we stop the war."

Lord Hall said.

"Dad, you'll be sent to the guillotine if you do this."

Dorothy looked at Earl Hall. Even though he was an earl, the crime of deceiving the emperor and inciting the entire nation to go to foreign war was enough to send Earl Hall to the guillotine.

"Someone has to bear the consequences of all this."

Earl Hall looked at the grown-up Dorothy and rubbed her hair with satisfaction.

He was very happy that Dorothy could discover his abnormality and restore him to normal. Thinking of his companions who were killed because of his own selfish desires, Earl Hall felt very guilty. Fortunately, this expedition was stopped by Li En's brother.

But because of this, the Blood Knight in front of him paid with his precious life.

Lord Hall was an upright and kind man. He could not allow himself to do so many wrong things and still evade responsibility.

I don't want things to escalate further.

Initially, his original intention of becoming an Eight-Star War Knight was to break free from the contract and control of the Frank family, to avoid doing anything to hurt Dorothy, and to have the ability to protect his daughter when the royal family wanted to harm Dorothy.

But now, Dorothy no longer needs his protection, and Li En, who can summon angels, makes him feel at ease.

"Uncle Hall, this matter is no longer something you can decide alone."

Li En said,

"The new route has been opened, and the portal exists. Even if you claim everything was a lie, after you die, Auguras will still send people to continue exploring and find the Azure Dragon Court. Furthermore, it's not just you who has seen the Azure Dragon Court. Tina and Lieutenant General Metis should have seen it as well. If you are willing to die, are they willing too? Are the people who followed you back willing too? They will all be sent to the guillotine, with the same crime as you."

Earl Hall was stunned. He certainly knew the price of taking responsibility. The elite knights of the Hall family would follow him to death.

If doing so could save the entire imperial army, he believed that the Knights of the Rose would be willing to step forward.

But as Li En said, even if his Hall family sacrificed the entire Order of the Rose, it would not be possible to change Auglas's determination.

After knowing the function of the Azure Dragon Whip, Auglas will not give up until he gets it. War is only a matter of time.

When one Earl of Hall dies, there will be a second and a third.

Augulas would not give up his ambition just because of his kindness.

Human desires are endless.

This is true for Augustus, and even more so for the Frank family.

They want to achieve unprecedented feats, to unify the entire continent and even all of humanity. What Earl Hall, his second personality, said is absolutely correct.

He happened to take advantage of the Auglas and Frank families to complete the most crucial part of the whole lie.

And now, he has to take this into consideration.

His death would not only fail to save more people, but would lead to the decline of the Hall family and the Order of the Rose, but would only free him from the condemnation of his conscience.

Trying to awaken the emperor's kindness by the death of oneself and one's companions is the most foolish act.

The fuse of war has been lit and it cannot be extinguished easily.

Earl Hall, who understood this, remained silent.

He seemed to be thinking of other ways to save everyone at the cost of his own life.

"Grandpa, if you die, I will destroy the entire kingdom."

The black-haired loli Alexander suddenly appeared and called Earl Hall "Grandpa".

Earl Hall looked in surprise at the girl who looked very special because of the pair of small wings on her back.

"you are?"

"She is Alexander, the child of Li En and me."

Dorothy introduces her daughter, his granddaughter, to her father.

Earl Hall was even more surprised.

Your daughter? When did you have a daughter this old? How come I didn't know?

"She's a dragon."

Lee En added.

Only then did Earl Hall realize Alexander's true identity, that is, the dragon that Dorothy and Li En raised together.

That was the huge black dragon that appeared in the sky above Yalong City a few days ago.

Earl Hall only knew that Dorothy had a dragon, but he didn't know that the dragon could transform into a human and call Dorothy mother.

Seeing such a lively and lovely granddaughter, Earl Hall's mood instantly improved a lot.

And her name is the same as her other grandson, Alexander.

"I'm sorry, I thought it was too simple."

After finding that Earl Hall listened to his advice, Alexander nodded with satisfaction, pulled the fire demon Cruz over, and pretended to go play outside the tower.

Although she called Earl Hall "Grandpa", that was entirely because Earl Hall was Dorothy's father. She herself did not have that concept of grandfather, so she was not very close to Earl Hall.

She was also a little angry with her father. Since she was born, her father rarely played with her and she always stayed with her mother.

She and Cruz hid in the corner and eavesdropped on the adults' conversation.

"Alexander must be shy."

Dorothy said with a doting look on her face.

"What a lovely child."

Lord Hall echoed.

Li En picked up the tea and took a sip. He always felt that Alexander was very resentful towards him.

There is no way around it. I can't split myself into two, so I really don't have much time to accompany Black Dragon.

Maybe I can take her with me when I go to the Azure Dragon Court, yes, to give myself an extra layer of insurance.

"I have some things to take care of."

Earl Hall stood up and left the tower early.

Dorothy saw her father off and looked at Li En with gratitude, "Thank you, Li En."

"We don't need to be so polite between us."

"Can we set off for the Azure Dragon Court now?"

Dorothy still didn't forget to help Li En find Catherine, but Li En shook his head.

"Finding Catherine is my own business. Dorothy, you should stay and spend more time with Uncle Hall. Although he seems fine now, he suddenly has the memories of another personality, and those memories are all negative. He must have been quite traumatized. Without your company and support, he might become depressed or even depressed."

"Okay, I see. Let Alexander go with you then."

Dorothy was worried about her father's mental state and also about Lee En's safety.

If Alexander accompanies Li En, he should be able to protect him.

"I don't want to accompany him."

Alexander rushed out with a proud look on his face.

"Unless, unless he begs me. No, begs."

Dorothy held Alexander's hand and said helplessly, "Alexander, are you making a scene? Or do you want to put Dad in danger because of your quarrel? Have you forgotten what Mom told you?"

"I remember my mother told me to stand firmly by my father's side, to protect him, and to respect him."

Alexander said seriously.

"So you're going?"

Dorothy continued to ask.

Alexander curled his lips in grievance and said in a weak voice, "Go."

"What a sweet baby."

Dorothy hugged Alexander and kissed him. Alexander shyly turned his face away and said, "Hate it, Mommy, don't keep kissing me. I'm already an adult."

"It's obviously a baby who's not even one year old."

Dorothy kissed Alexander again.

Alexander's face turned even redder.

Looking at the friendly scene between Dorothy and Alexander, Li En's mood was completely relaxed, and he had a brief illusion that the three of them were enjoying each other's company.

In addition, Earl Hall's negative attributes were cleared, which meant that a powerful enemy was eliminated.

As long as Earl Hall doesn't contact Randall in the short term, there shouldn't be any big problems.

In fact, from these two special entries, we can see that Randall and Earl Hall are indeed good friends.

However, Randall did not know how much of a blow the changes brought to Earl Hall by the [Seed of Bewitchment] and [Second Personality] would cause to a person with complete cognition and a kind worldview.

It's like someone who has been a good person all their life suddenly finds themselves killing people every night.

There is no reconciliation between the upright and kind Earl Hall and the evil Earl Hall who will do anything to achieve his goal.

Li En cured his body, but his psychology still needed to be addressed.

After having lunch with Dorothy and Alexander, Li En left the tower and said that he would come to pick up Alexander in a few days.

Alexander said no, but he was actually very excited.

She also wants to be with her dad.

She didn't understand the human marriage model, so she didn't think this relationship was abnormal. She thought that probably all children were like this, spending most of their time with their mothers and occasionally having the opportunity to go out and play with their fathers.

Dorothy looked at Li En's back as he left, with a hint of sadness in her gentle eyes.

"Mom, what's wrong with you? You don't look happy."

"Alexander, do you want a brother or sister?"

"No, refuse, don't accept."

Alexander didn't want anyone to snatch her parents away from her, as she herself hadn't enjoyed them enough.

She immediately threw herself into Dorothy's arms, "Mom doesn't want brothers and sisters."

"Ok."

Dorothy nodded.

Li En left the tower and returned to Alexburg.

Sophie took Diane to play in the garden. She used magic to build an ice palace for Diane and froze all the roses in the back garden into ice flowers.

Although a garden was destroyed, it earned Diane's cheerful laughter.

Diane likes Sophie so much that she wants to think about her 24 hours a day.

ah-

Diane, who had a cold, kept sneezing.

Sophie lowered her head in confusion and touched Diane's forehead. "Diane, you seem to be sick."

"I'm not sick, Sister Sophie."

The magic mosquito landed on Sophie's shoulder and couldn't help but tremble.

If I wasn't physically strong, I would probably have caught a cold.

"You're a little hot, let me cool you down." An ice crystal appeared on Sophie's hand and she placed it on Diane's head.

Diane's face turned pale instantly, and then she fell straight down.

"Oh, Father, Reverend, please come and save Miss Diane. Miss Diane is dying."

The servants wrapped in cotton jackets became busy again.

They followed Diane 24 hours a day because they were afraid that she would have another accident.

The servants were all afraid of Sophie from the bottom of their hearts and had no idea why Miss Diane liked playing with the Ice Witch so much.

Li En returned in time and performed an advanced healing spell on Diane, which restored her to health.

Fortunately, he was about to take Sophie away, otherwise if the two continued to live together, Li En was a little worried that Diane would turn into a kingfisher.

Although Sophie looks indifferent, she actually doesn't know how to refuse others.

And Diane is a little brat who always likes to make various requests.

Whatever she wants, Sophie will use magic to satisfy her, but her body cannot bear it, which leads to the current situation.

Of course, Sophie never thought of harming Diane, but she felt a little lost when she saw Diane always getting hurt because of her.

She looked at the mosquito on the back of her hand and sighed.

It seems that I can only raise mosquitoes.

The mosquito sensed something warm coming, flew away from Sophie, and hid on Li En's neck.

Snapped--

Magic Mosquito Pawn.

Sophie looked at Li En in surprise.

Li En was surprised to find the mosquito's body from the back of his neck, and immediately cast an advanced healing magic on the mosquito.

Unfortunately, no matter how advanced the magic is, it cannot bring the mosquito back to life.

The slap was a little hard.

If he was just half dead or fainted, he would definitely be alive now.

"I'll go find Feiya later. She must have a lot of them there. Don't worry."

Li En immediately comforted her.

Sophie seemed to have figured something out. She shook her head and held up a book. "I'd better read more."

Li En looked apologetic and felt that Sophie was suitable for raising a mechanical pet, so there would most likely be no problem.

Anna watched all this silently, and already had a plan in her mind.

This time, Anna is separated from Li En and doesn’t know how long it will take for them to meet again. She is unwilling to wait any longer.

Although Grand Duke Moria has always emphasized the need to keep a low profile, Kelly still decided to hold a ball at another manor. She has always lived a luxurious life, and a ball is the best social event. Kelly is tired of the knight and wants to find a new prey.

Like the men of the Moriah family, Kelly, as the new woman of the Moriah family, also implements the family creed of true love and always being the next one.

Night falls and the lights are bright.

In Red Boots Manor, a lavish ball quietly unfolded.

Silvery moonlight filtered through the intricately carved window lattices, scattering dappled light onto the smooth marble floor. In the distance, a band had already begun tuning their instruments, their delicate notes dancing like spirits through the air.

The distinguished male guests were dressed in tuxedos and straight bow ties, with strands of golden silk threads shining with aristocratic luster under the lights.

The female guests wore the most popular Anna long dresses at the time. The gauze was as light as clouds, and diamonds and pearls sparkled in between, as if they had plucked stars and worn them around their necks and hair. Their faces were filled with shy smiles, but their eyes showed the light of anticipation.

As the band's first note sounded, the center of the dance floor gradually filled with dancing figures.

The melodious melody slowly unfolded, with rotations, slides, and graceful bows, each movement revealed the nobles' incomparable style and etiquette.

As the hems of their clothes fluttered, jewels and precious stones shuttled between the dancers, like a flowing painting.

The most handsome boy, Lien Moriah, and Sophie in a white dress were also on the dance floor. Although their dancing was not the most elegant, they became the focus of everyone's attention because of their outstanding looks.

"See, Sophie, dancing isn't that difficult."

"Well, I've practiced privately many times not to step on your feet."

Sophie said seriously.

Li En gently held her in his arms and said, "My physical condition is much better now than before. It doesn't matter even if you step on me a few more times."

Waiters carried gold-rimmed trays laden with champagne, fine wine, and delicate canapés. A hint of sweetness and the aroma of alcohol mingled in the air, adding an intoxicating touch to the ball. Guests paused between spins, toasting their glasses and chatting quietly, savoring this rare moment of togetherness.

In a corner of the ball, Anna was whispering to Anne, and their smiles looked particularly warm under the candlelight.

In addition to Sophie, Anna, Anne, Cameron, Ellie and Ash were also there.

Cameron and Ellie kept observing Sophie, with envy in their eyes.

"I heard from Alexander that this witch Sophie was able to kill Dorothy. Dorothy is a legendary witch. How did she do it?"

"I also want to be someone like her who has both beauty and strength."

Cameron ate snacks while expressing his wishes.

Ellie helped the petite loli Ashley get a piece of cake that Ashley couldn't reach, and patted Ashley's head. "Ashley, remember to write to me when you get to Green Shade Territory."

"Of course, I will remember it. I will always be a member of the association."

Ashe said with a sense of mission.

"Uh-huh."

Cameron clenched his fists and encouraged himself, "We will become stronger one day."

The three witches actually felt regretful for not being able to go out to sea safely. Li En came back alive, but with a different identity, which made them happy but also a little regretful.

There is no witch who doesn't want to go to the sea, because witches are born unable to go to the sea.

This is probably the rebellion hidden in the witch's bones.

Li En and Sophie had just finished dancing when Diane came to pester Sophie.

Unable to resist Diane's persistence, Sophie had to go and accompany the children first.

At this moment, Li En seemed to see the annoying kingfisher again.

Of course, he couldn't treat his sister like a kingfisher, and Diane was still very cute most of the time.

Thanks to Diane, Sophie made friends in Yalong City.

After Sophie was taken away by his sister, Li En picked up the wine glass out of boredom and wanted to taste the latest Minour wine.

People's lives did not stagnate because of the war. Instead, the return of the soldiers brought a new wave of winemaking.

Li En shook the red wine glass in his hand, and Anna's reflection suddenly appeared in the wine.

Anna looked like a delicate doll, her long, thin eyelashes like a black veil covering her bright and clear eyes. When she blinked gently, even the surrounding lights seemed to soften a little.

She had a graceful figure, and her long satin dress trimmed with gold thread trailed on the ground, with the intricate lace fluttering lightly as she danced.

The gorgeous mermaid crystal necklace sparkled around her neck, reflecting her snow-white skin.

The waist is slender and lightly bound by the tight silk ribbon, yet it still gives a sense of strength.

She reached out, gently took Li En's arm, and led him into the dance floor.

Whenever the melody of the music rises and falls, she spins along with it, as graceful as a noble swan.

Her smile is subtle and charming, and every time her eyes meet, she makes others fall in love with her.

"Anna, today's outfit suits you very well."

Anna's outfit today is no longer that of a maid. The aristocratic girl's dress fits her perfectly, making her look noble and elegant, sexy and charming.

Because they were not servants of the Duke's Mansion, she and Anne could also attend the ball, just like Aunt Kelly's girlfriends. Although they were only children of the Moria family's retainers, they could also enjoy the privileges of the nobility.

"Thank you. I thought Lord Li En would praise me as the most beautiful girl at the ball."

Anna smiled.

"Anna, you are indeed very beautiful now, but you are not the only beautiful girl. Have you forgotten your twin sister Anne?"

"Thanks for the compliment."

Annie passed by Li En like a gust of wind.

"Can you please not let Annie show off her speed at the ball? It will disrupt the order of the ball."

Li En sighed helplessly.

"I'm sorry, my sister is just rebellious like that. The more you forbid her from doing something, the more she likes it."

Anna apologizes for Annie's behavior of weaving through the crowd.

Annie likes this kind of game, where she feels like everyone is still and she is the only one moving.

She could quietly take the strawberry from Kelly's strawberry cake, replace the wine glass in Parker's hand with juice, turn Diane's hat around, and take away the harpist's cushion.

After playing a series of pranks, Annie still felt unsatisfied.

If she hadn't thought about her sister's important plans in the evening, she really wanted to tease Li En.

I don’t know who is faster, me or Li En.

Anne found her good friend, High Priest Fia.

She was also invited to the dance.

High Priest Fia was slightly surprised when he saw the change in Annie.

The two people's hair color turned out to be the same.

"Annie, your temperament has changed."

"Yes, I am a vampire now."

Anne was frank and had nothing to hide from her friends.

Fia was slightly surprised, her eyes shining slightly. She liked raising vampires.

However, Annie obviously cannot be kept as a pet because she has become her friend before, which makes Fia feel a little regretful.

"Annie, if you need blood, you can come to me."

"No, I can find my own food. I have learned to be gentle and will not bite a human's neck easily."

"That sounds great, but you can't expose it in front of others, otherwise you will be arrested and brought to the court."

"Thank you, Fia. I won't."

Annie blinked and pointed to her head. "My thinking speed has also increased here. I feel like I've become smarter."

While Annie and Fia were chatting, Anna had already finished a whole dance with Li En.

Anna took Li En's hand and walked into the bedroom next to the ballroom.

There are many bedrooms in the manor, which are convenient places for the nobles to stay at their leisure.

"Anna, I just saw an acquaintance. Out of courtesy, I need to go and say hello."

Li En found that something was wrong and prepared to find an excuse to escape.

"I won't let you get away today."
