Miss Witch, it's time to clean up the entries
Chapter 252 Is He Tiger's Illegitimate Son?
Chapter 252 Is He Tiger's Illegitimate Son? ( words updated)
Red Maple Collar.
Cousins Manor.
The castle towered into the clouds, crows cawing hoarsely from the spire. Its outer walls were built of bluish-gray stone, weathered yet still sturdy. Countless vines entwined them, moss grew in the shadows, and roses bloomed on the vines' summits.
Constantine had not been to his own manor for a long time since he entered the Temple of Grace.
Now that the Temple of Grace has been destroyed and rebuilding will take time, he has no choice but to stay here temporarily.
Constantine walked to a full-length mirror, holding a candlestick. The flickering candlelight reflected the deep lines of his facial features.
In the mirror, Constantine's figure suddenly changed and turned into Randall.
"you failed."
Randall looked at Constantine expressionlessly.
Constantine nodded slightly. "Ince Hall is dead, and Li En Moriah is a surprise."
"I told you not to underestimate the enemy. Vampires are always too arrogant and think they can control everything."
"Randall, you should maintain the most basic respect for your predecessors who have lived from the Age of Order to the present."
Constantine reminded,
"We are not in a superior-subordinate relationship, we are in a cooperative relationship. If you can't put yourself in the right position, then our cooperation ends here."
"I see. Constantine."
Randall scowled.
"Young people are as rude as ever."
Constantine shook his head.
"Tell me, how did Ince Hall die?"
What Randall needs to know is whether Ince Hall's death is valuable and what information he has obtained.
Originally, he only regarded Ince Hall as a chess piece, and did not have much emotion about his death.
"Ince Hall was killed by Lee En Moriah and the Black Dragon. Lee En Moriah possessed some magical power and must have signed a symbiotic contract with Dorothy Hall. His own strength should be above six stars, but lower than seven stars. In addition, he is a special believer and has divine blessings. His divinity is very strange. I can't sense his piety towards Tiger. Haha, this is very similar to you and me. Maybe his true faith is the same as ours."
Constantine said slowly.
Randall added, "He's closely connected to the Golden Goddess Soraya, able to summon her at almost any time. He controls at least three Boons: the Eye of the Future, which can choose the future, the Azure Dragon Whip, which multiplies armies, and the Seal of Split, which can replicate himself. This is what I know, but I suspect he has other cards up his sleeve."
"I haven't seen such a good opponent in a long time."
The corners of Constantine's mouth rose slightly, as if his boring life finally had a little fun.
Compared to the leisurely Constantine, Randall was not in a high mood.
He kept a cold face.
"Why wasn't Dorothy made into an enlightener?"
"She has already awakened. For an awakened witch, enlightenment has a weak effect and needs to be gradual. It would probably take her ears six months of baptism, listening to the words of enlightenment. However, she has only been in the temple for four days. This time is too short to affect her soul."
Enlightenment and baptism here have the same meaning. The holder of [Ear of Ignorance] will use explanation or chanting to subtly influence the target.
Normally, a newborn witch, that is, a baby, only needs to listen to a chant to become an [Enlightener].
An adult witch needs a month of listening before becoming an Enlightener.
For an awakened witch like Dorothy, it takes up to half a year to change her will.
"Awakened?"
"Yes, perhaps Lee En Moriah still has a hidden card that can awaken the witch."
Constantine said lightly.
"Impossible. Awakening a witch is God's right."
Randall denied this.
Even the most outstanding wise men, after hundreds of years of research, could not make the witch escape from control and awaken on her own. How could Li En do it?
Is he Tiger's illegitimate son?
"Don't be so absolute. Perhaps he used some gift. This world is far more complex than we see, young man."
Constantine looked at Randall with a smile.
"Come to the capital quickly. The wise men have created a new group of witches, and they too need to be initiated."
"It just so happens that I have some personal matters to attend to in the capital."
Constantine felt a headache when he thought of Emma.
Although he initially just wanted to use Emma's sage body, this girl has been pestering him for many years, and he has unknowingly become accustomed to her being around.
The candle went out, and Randall's figure in the mirror turned back into Constantine.
Constantine touched his handsome cheek and nodded slightly, "I still like this face better. Randall, that brat, is too gloomy."
"Master, you are back."
A gentle voice sounded from behind.
Constantine turned around and saw two blood servants.
One of them is Faya, the princess of the Kingdom of Suela in the Age of Order, and the other is Gaili, the most beautiful woman in the southern continent who disappeared 30 years ago.
Both of them were more beautiful than Emma, and Constantine had experienced wonderful tenderness with them.
But I don't know why, but now when I see them, I have completely lost interest.
"We have been waiting here for your return."
……
Yalong City.
Witch Tower.
Alexander drove Dorothy, Lien and Emma back to the tower and was welcomed by all the magical creatures.
Of course, the one they welcomed most was Alexander, and everyone loved Dorothy's child.
Emma didn't expect that after not returning to Dorothy's tower for many years, there were so many magical creatures in the tower.
"Dorothy, you are worthy of being a fairy tale witch. You can actually give life to these things."
Emma exclaimed in admiration.
"That was all caused by my uncontrolled magic, not something I actively did. For a while, anything I touched would come to life."
Dorothy said seriously.
"Then...then how did you solve this problem?"
Emma asked curiously.
"With Alexander, that situation is much better."
Dorothy blushed as she looked at Alexander who was busy having fun.
Alexander also gets along well with the magical creatures and once again forgets the existence of Nanny Cruz.
Li En believed that Cruise would come back on his own, after all, he was Dorothy's contracted demon.
What's giving him a headache now is how to deal with Emma.
Among Emma's entries, only [Vampire Lover] can be cleared by herself.
The other terms are not strictly negative terms.
Even if you remove [Vampire Lover], Emma will still continue to stand on Constantine's side because of the [Constantine's Admirer] entry, so there is no point in clearing it, and it will increase the risk of exposure.
Someone with a high level of inspiration like Emma would definitely notice if the entry disappeared instantly.
So it’s better not to touch her entry.
It is highly likely that it is impossible to kill her and thus kill Constantine. Although she has little combat power, she is equivalent to a meat shield and a boss with infinite health bar, and she will not die no matter how you hit her.
Imprisoned? Constantine would definitely come looking for him, right?
Li En wanted to consult Fia, but unfortunately Fia was already in the Wise Men's Academy and he didn't know whether she had been sliced.
Well, probably not. Living research materials are much more valuable than corpses.
According to Fia's personality, she might still be an experimental subject now, but after a while she will become an internal researcher. After all, she is a witch of wisdom, and her obsession with scientific research and knowledge is no less than that of a wise man.
The Wise House is indeed very suitable for Fia.
Emma always felt that Li En had bad intentions towards her, but she had no evidence and Dorothy didn't believe it either. She could only stay away from Li En as much as possible. When she happened to see the palace messenger coming to summon her, she wanted to follow Dorothy to the palace to find Augustus.
"No, you can't go to Auglas now."
Dorothy rejected Emma's proposal.
"Ah? Why? I promised to keep your secret and I will not let it out. Dorothy, please don't let me stay with him. Just let me go with you to the palace to find Augulas."
"No, that's troublesome."
Dorothy didn't want to bring Emma into the palace, mainly because she didn't want to explain why Emma Bock appeared in the capital.
Besides, Augulas summoned her this time most likely because of the family contract, and Earl Hall was also called.
This was Dorothy's family affair, and it was not appropriate for Emma to get involved.
While Dorothy and Emma were chatting, the Hall family's carriage arrived at the foot of the tower.
"Dad is here."
Through the window, Dorothy saw the familiar carriage.
"Do you need me to go with you?"
Lee En asked.
Dorothy shook her head. "Dad and I can handle it."
"Okay. Then I'll stay here and take care of Miss Emma."
Li En said with a smile.
“Emma, believe me, Li En is a man of noble character.”
Dorothy came to this conclusion mainly because Li En saved many noble girls in the empire, saved more than 100,000 people in Yusofa, and saved millions of people in Gao Junling, which made him worthy of being called a person of noble character.
But Emma felt like the sky was falling.
She really wanted to rush out right now and tell Earl Hall that Uncle Ince was killed by the man in front of her. She even suspected that this man had brainwashed Dorothy and drugged her with a love potion.
He believed that Li Encai should be the enemy of the Hall family, while his teacher Constantine was definitely a friend of the Hall family and the Bock family.
Thinking of this, Emma gathered strength in her legs and wanted to jump out of the 10-meter-high window.
Because she ran too slowly, it would take her at least 3 minutes to run down the stairs, and during these 3 minutes, she might be caught.
But she didn't expect that Li En had predicted her action of jumping out of the window.
Li En reached out, grabbed Emma's neck, and lifted her back like a chicken.
"Ms. Emma, you should thank me for saving you again."
Li En said.
"So, you owe me two lives."
"Ah, what?"
Emma didn't understand why she owed Li En two lives.
"The first time is to rescue you from the Temple of Grace. Otherwise, you will also be affected by the Saint Heinz formation. Even if you are immortal, it will at least be very uncomfortable."
"The second time is now. So rounding it up, it counts as two lives."
Lee En explained.
"No, if Dorothy didn't want to leave, the Saint Heinz formation wouldn't have been activated, and the teacher wouldn't have hurt us."
Emma was extremely confident.
"So even though those innocent believers sacrificed their lives because of this formation, you still think Constantine is a good person?"
Lee En asked.
Emma was stunned, not knowing how to refute for a moment.
While she was in a daze, Dorothy had already come down from the tower and left in a carriage.
Emma missed the best opportunity to ask Earl Hall for help.
As the carriage went farther and farther away, Emma's eyes were filled with tears again.
"Why won't you let me go? You'll offend the entire Bock family and my teacher. He'll definitely come after me."
"That's exactly why I kept you here. I look forward to your teacher coming to see you."
Li En said with a smile.
Alexander stood beside Emma attentively and licked his tongue.
"Dad, can I have a bite?"
Emma shuddered, wishing Dorothy would come back immediately.
This father and daughter are not normal!
"Alexander, go eat some marshmallows."
Li En rubbed Alexander's soft and beautiful black hair. Alexander nodded obediently, then turned and left. The magical creatures had prepared a mountain of marshmallows for Alexander, and she could eat as much as she wanted.
They liked Alexander almost to the point of doting on her. In the tower, she had everything she wanted, and she was more aristocratic than any other nobleman.
Now they are trying hard to sell the marshmallows in their hands to get a chance to feed Alexander.
Li En felt that Alexander might develop a spoiled personality due to the special love from so many strange "uncles and aunts".
Emma watched Alexander walk away and breathed a sigh of relief.
Compared to Alexander, who always wants to bite him, Li En is a little easier to get along with.
"What is the Sage's Fluid?"
Li En suddenly asked.
Emma noticed a hint of coldness in his eyes and immediately knew that the time for her own interrogation had come.
Once Dorothy left, she lost her umbrella of protection and had to do whatever the father and daughter said.
At this moment, the little princess of the Bock family finally felt the extreme danger of the outside world after leaving the protection of her family.
"If you don't answer the questions, I don't mind turning you into Alexander's marshmallow."
"I said, I said."
Emma swallowed and said, "The Philosopher's Fluid is the same as the Philosopher's Stone. It is made from souls, most importantly, the souls of marine life. Since we face the sea to the west, we are often harassed by sea monsters..."
Through Emma's description, Li En learned that in addition to being the guardian of the West, the Bock family is also the main supplier of raw materials for the Philosopher's Stone. Most of the sea monsters attacking the high walls will be repelled, and some will be captured, raised and bred. They become the main source of making the Philosopher's Stone and Philosopher's Fluid.
These sirens are mainly supplied to the Institute of Wisdom, the Guardian Bureau and the military.
The Philosopher's Stone is now widely promoted, but the Philosopher's Fluid is rarely mentioned because it is a highly toxic substance.
When Emma was 10 years old, she was infected with a terminal illness. A wise man advised her to fight poison with poison, so she started taking the sage's fluid.
In the end, Emma turned a disaster into a blessing. Not only was her terminal illness cured, but she also turned into a rare sage body, immune to all magical damage.
This is the reason why drinking verbena tea for a long time will prevent you from being hypnotized by vampires.
In addition, the Bock family is also the largest pharmaceutical family in the West. Their family also produces anesthetics, but the effect of the anesthetics is not as good as the Green Shade Territory's special anesthetics.
As the Golden Goddess continues to grow stronger, the golden trees in the Golden Forest continue to increase in value, because the tree monsters will become more and more powerful, and the anesthetic made from their juice will become more and more effective.
"I've said everything, can you let me go now?"
Emma looked at Li En aggrievedly.
"I have always treated prisoners well. As long as you cooperate, I won't make things difficult for you."
Li En patted Emma's shoulder. Emma felt a chill running through her body and shivered unconsciously.
"Well... uh, if you don't let me go back, my grandfather will really come looking for me. I'm his most beloved granddaughter, and who knows, I might even be the future head of the Bock family."
Emma said.
"It's okay. Your grandfather won't worry since you're here with Dorothy."
Li En said casually, smelling a familiar scent.
Demon Eater Nina Owen is back.
"Great Master, I have completed your mission. I sent Miss Catherine back to the Blue Moon Territory and delivered the Witch Invitation Stone to the Barrier Witch. I also met with Ms. Anna and Ms. Anne. This is the letter they sent you."
Nina Owen bent down and handed three letters to Li En.
The attitude is extremely humble.
Emma was slightly stunned. She remembered this woman. She had seen her at an aristocratic ball before. She was a proud aristocratic lady.
She still remembers the scene where her brother tried to strike up a conversation with her but was rejected.
Few people would refuse a man from the Bock family, even if they were not handsome enough, but they were powerful enough.
That's why Emma remembered it so clearly. The moment she saw Nina Owen, she remembered the incident.
She remembered that her brother had spent a lot of energy and effort in pursuing this woman.
I didn't expect that she would be so humble to Li En Moria now, just like a servant, no, a slave.
Li En took the letter and said, "Well, go and have some rest."
"Wait, are you Miss Nina Owen?"
Emma wanted to confirm whether she was wrong.
Nina Owen once lived for a time in the Bourne Territory, also known as the West Territory, under the control of the Bock family. The West Territory's bay was charming and perfect for a vacation.
"Yes, you are Miss Emma Burke of the Burke family?"
Nina Owen also remembered this girl, whose hair was very eye-catching and impressive.
There is no other like him in the entire Holy Empire.
"Really? Is it really you? Why are you here? Were you also kidnapped by Li En Moriah and forced to sign a slave contract?"
Emma was very worried that she would be forced to sign a blood contract, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized that blood contracts could not be authenticated between humans, but could be authenticated between families.
Let the Bock family become slaves of the Moria family? Impossible, but a big battle is still possible.
But even if it is not a blood contract, it is possible if it is a simple written contract.
Or maybe there was no contract, and Nina Owen was simply kidnapped, tortured, and constantly trained, and finally became the obedient person she is today.
If that's the case, then I might be Li En's next servant.
"No."
Nina Owen's answer shattered Emma's unreasonable fantasy.
"Hmm? Don't be afraid. You can tell me. I can help you. My brother still misses you. He's Shuster Bock. Do you remember him?"
Emma asked after a second's hesitation.
Nina Owen shook her head and said with a smile,
"I don't remember. There were so many men pursuing me that I couldn't remember all their names. But you are very impressive."
"I……"
Emma's cheeks flushed slightly. She had no resistance to this mature and charming older sister, and at the same time she felt sorry for her brother Shuster.
That guy even abandoned his fiancée and was determined to pursue Nina Owen.
But Nina Owen turned around and became Li En's servant.
This kind of contrast makes people feel depressed just thinking about it.
While Nina Owen and Emma were reminiscing about the past, Lee En had already opened the letter Catherine wrote to him.
[My everlasting high wall, deep love:
Perhaps it is God's gift that I am pregnant with your child again. This time I will cherish it deeply and take good care of myself. I also hope that when you hear this news, you will be truly happy.
I hope our wedding will not be postponed. I don’t want him to be a bastard.
In addition, Lor has woken up and remembered everything. He is still my respected brother. Please thank Miss Dorothy Hall on my behalf.
Mina had endured a lot during my absence, and she and Lor had their wedding.
I can feel that they are not in love, but Mina looks like her sister and is actually the type that Lor liked before. Maybe Lor will slowly fall in love with Mina. Mina is a girl with a good personality. I hope she can be blessed and happy.
Dora came back to me and wanted to be the child's godmother, and I agreed.
Dora will be an excellent guardian godmother in the future.
I am trying to build a friendship with the new witch in Blue Moon Territory, hoping that she can find a sense of belonging in Blue Moon Territory.
Although my ministers all think that I don't need to do this, I believe that the witch is worthy of respect, not a weapon, and the necessary emotional investment is important.
Yusufah has returned to the territory of the Blue Moon Territory and has become a part of the Blue Moon Territory.
Lor wished to become the governor of Yusofa, and I agreed, and he would leave with his wife Mina.
Nancy Stuart and Inna left Yusofa and went out to sea.
I took over the intelligence organization left by Nancy Stuart.
His three mistresses will stay in Blue Moon Territory, and their children will grow up with my children in the future. They are the future hope of the Jackson family.
A civil war broke out in Red Plum Territory, and the Adam family was divided into two factions. The young Bonnie Adam had the support of Mary and wanted to replace the first heir, Emerson Adam. It was believed that Red Plum Territory would soon become Mary's possession, and then Blue Moon Territory would inevitably enter into another battle.
I'm already preparing for war, please don't worry about me.
Love you forever, Catherine]
When Li En learned that Catherine was pregnant again, she felt very happy.
He believed that Catherine would become a qualified mother.
The war in the South had been anticipated. If Mary didn't stir up trouble when she returned to the South, it would be against her style.
The Blue Moon Territory is now connected to the Green Shade Territory, sharing military power. It has three witches and has already started preparations. Coupled with the Simmons family in the south, Mary's idea of swallowing up the entire south is unlikely to be realized.
Nancy Stuart and Inna had gone out to sea? No wonder there had been no news of them for so long.
Are you still angry with yourself?
Li En opened the second letter, which was from Anna.
My dear Lord:
All is well in Green Shade Territory. Civil war has broken out in Red Plum Territory, and our pharmaceutical exports have increased fivefold. The Southern War will bring unprecedented opportunities, at least for those with a good sense. I've already begun contacting the shady businessman Vegeta you mentioned. Arms dealer Mrs. Milos will become Green Shade Territory's largest future partner. This may compromise the interests of some of the Bock family, so I hope you're prepared. If the Bock family puts pressure on us, we'll have to rely on the Moria family's connections. ...]
Anna wants to take over the Bock family's anesthetic business, which is indeed feasible.
Mrs. Milos's channels are more extensive than Green Shade Territory's. If the anesthetic is sold directly to her and she becomes a channel dealer, it will indeed be more convenient than actively looking for partners myself.
Li En nodded slightly and continued to read the letter. The second half of the letter was not about serious matters, but about some embarrassing things, which made Li En's mouth dry.
I have to say that Anna's writing skills are very high, and she can already write pornographic books for those rated 18+.
Li En collected his thoughts and opened Anne's letter.
[Anna looked distraught after leaving you. She probably missed you a lot.]
A very short letter, but it says it all, just replace Anna with Anne.
Li En sat down at the desk, ready to write back to the three women.
At the same time, Earl Hall and Dorothy's carriage had left the suburbs and headed towards the upper three districts.
"Dorothy, are you ready?"
Lord Hall looked at Dorothy.
"I will tell Auglas that it was me who developed new magic and dissolved the family's contract."
Dorothy said calmly.
"No, you can't say that."
Earl Hall shook his head and said, "Just tell Augulas that we don't know about it."
"?"
Dorothy looked at Lord Hall in surprise.
I soon understood what my father meant.
Neither he nor Earl Hall could take the initiative to take responsibility for this matter because it would arouse Augulas' suspicion.
It’s better to let Augulas figure it out himself.
He naturally thought of the person who signed the contract, Ince Hall.
It is believed that Ince Hall and Pope Randall reached some kind of deal, and it was Randall who helped Ince Hall break the family curse.
Randall has always been dissatisfied with himself becoming emperor, and naturally does not want to marry Dorothy.
So they cut off the source of the problem and directly cancelled the contract between the Hall family and the Frank family, so that Dorothy would not be bound by the contract and could become her own queen.
During the whole process, Earl Hall and Dorothy pretended to know nothing.
"Dad, I understand."
"kindness."
Dorothy was silent for a few minutes before she spoke.
"Uncle Ince is dead."
"I know."
Earl Hall looked gloomy. "We should all be grateful for Ens's contribution to the family. After all, I owe him."
The reason why Ince Hall was able to contact Randall and was resurrected by Randall when he died was also because of Byrne Hall.
Earl Hall felt that he owed his brother, but now for the benefit of his family, he had to use his brother again, which made him feel extremely guilty.
"Uncle Ince actually died a long time ago. Li En had to do this to help me and the Hall family to release the contract."
Dorothy explained.
Earl Hall nodded and said, "I know that everything has a price. I understand that Li En would do anything for you."
"Dad, don't you blame him?"
"He did what I couldn't do, so how could I blame him?"
Earl Hall patted Dorothy's shoulder and said, "I'm glad you found a man who can protect you. From now on, you are free. No one can stop you wherever you want to go."
"Thank you dad."
Dorothy threw herself into Earl Hall's arms, raised her head, and beneath her thick eyelashes were a pair of bright, childlike eyes, untainted by dust.
"Dad, if Uncle Randall and Li En fight to the death, which side will you stand on?"
Lord Hall frowned.
"I do not know either."
One is the future son-in-law and the other is a close friend.
It is really difficult for Earl Hall to choose.
Dorothy thought of Emma's attitude. Emma probably stood on Randall's side because her teacher was Randall's man.
But if she was asked to hurt Li En, she would never do it.
"Don't worry, Dorothy. I would never hurt the person you love. Besides, Li En is the benefactor of the entire Hall family. For this reason alone, I would never do anything to him. As for Randall, he probably doesn't know it himself, but he has become less and less like the boy he once was."
Lord Hall seemed lost in some memory.
Dorothy stared at her father blankly and nodded slightly.
After the father and daughter entered the palace.
In addition to Augustus, there were two elders of the Frank family in the palace.
The Frank family was obviously very unhappy about the Hall family breaking away from the contract, and the faces of the two elders were as gloomy as water.
They rarely came to the stage anymore, and if the matter was not of great importance, they would not have appeared before Earl Hall in this way.
"Your Majesty the Emperor."
Earl Hall straightened his posture, Dorothy lifted her skirt, and together they saluted Augustus, then nodded in greeting to the elders of the Frank family.
The two elders responded softly.
Auguras sat on his own throne.
The two elders of the Frank family sat on his left and right.
"My Lord Earl, you should know why I called you here."
Auguras's expression turned serious.
Earl Hall bowed deeply to the throne. "I thank the Frank family for their generosity and praise the Emperor's kindness. Your initiative to terminate the Hall family's contract is sufficient proof of your trust in me and the Hall family. The Hall family is willing to sacrifice their lives for the Emperor."
Earl Hall's words made the three Frank family members frown.
The two elders looked at the little emperor.
"The Frank family did not take the initiative to terminate the contract. It is precisely because of this matter that I summoned you and Dorothy to the palace. I hope the Count can be honest and tell me what is going on."
Auglas said.
"You didn't take the initiative to cancel the contract?"
Earl Hall showed a very surprised expression.
"No need for pretense, Earl Hall. It was your family that broke their promise and terminated the contract. Since you chose to do this, it means you have already harbored rebellious intentions towards the Frank family. Your Majesty, I suggest that the Hall family be liquidated."
The gloomy elder spoke.
"Don't be so impulsive. The Hall family has made great contributions to the empire over the years. Dorothy and August grew up together and have a deep relationship. They would never betray the Frank family."
Another elder said softly, "We should listen to Hall's explanation."
One of them played the bad guy and the other played the good guy, putting pressure on Hall and his daughter.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I know nothing about this matter, but the loyalty of the Hall family is evident to all. If you no longer trust me, I am willing to resign my position as Grand Admiral, lay down my military power, leave the capital, and return to my homeland with Dorothy."
The expedition is imminent, and Earl Hall wants to quit, but Augustus is definitely not willing to do that.
But he also didn't believe that this matter had nothing to do with Earl Hall.
"If you want the Hall family's wealth, I am willing to give it all to you."
Earl Hall spoke again.
His expression was sincere and he didn't seem to be lying at all.
Earl Hall never cared much about power and wealth.
If these things could bring him and Dorothy back to safety, he felt it would be worth it.
Moreover, even if all the Hall family's property was confiscated by the national treasury, Dorothy's personal property would be enough to allow the Hall family to rise again.
Ultimately, talent is the most important thing.
Of course, Augustus also knew this, and he couldn't let Dorothy alienate him because of this.
"I also believe that this matter has nothing to do with the Earl, but the family elders don't think so, and even I can't explain it clearly."
Auglas showed a helpless expression.
"Hall, if this wasn't you, then it could only have been done by Dorothy."
The elder looked at Dorothy.
Dorothy shook her head slightly, "Not me."
"I believe Dorothy."
Auglas said, "But the elders don't believe it."
"This matter is a secret, and few people know about it. No one except the Hall family would be involved. If it's not you, then who is it?"
As the elder asked this, he suddenly thought of a person, Ince Hall.
He was the one who signed the family contract. Could it be that he found a way to unilaterally terminate the contract?
The two elders looked at each other and both thought of this possibility.
Ince Hall was close to Randall and Constantine, but neither Randall nor Constantine supported Augustus's enthronement.
They might have done this because they didn't want August to marry Dorothy.
Because Augustus is likely to use this contract to force Dorothy to marry him.
The Frank family also thought so. Dorothy must be the queen of Augustus.
The old man Constantine refused to marry into the Frank family, which caused dissatisfaction among the Frank family at that time. Now he is interfering again, making the two elders unhappy.
Of course, Augustus also thought of what the elders were thinking, but this was just a possibility.
It is also not ruled out that Hall and Dorothy joined forces with Ins, or that the entire Hall family was involved.
After all, no one wants to be a slave, let alone the proud Creed family.
The fact that the Hall family was a servant of the Frank family was a secret even among the seven creed families.
Only the two major families knew about it, and no one else knew about it.
So the possibility of other families being involved is zero.
Based on what Auglas knew about Hall, it was impossible for him to tell this secret to other families.
This is a shame for the Creed family.
"Hall, when we signed the contract, it stated that the Frank family would protect Dorothy and prevent her from going to the Wise House. Now that the contract no longer exists, Dorothy, as the empire's only native witch, should fulfill her obligations and go to the Wise House for research. If you agree, then the cancellation of the contract will not be pursued."
Said the elder with a gloomy face.
Earl Hall frowned. He had fought for the empire for so many years, but after the contract was abolished, the Frank family turned against him and wanted to send his daughter to the School of Wise. Even though he was a kind-hearted person, he could not endure such oppression and humiliation.
Seeing that Earl Hall was about to get angry, another elder slowly said,
"Of course we don't doubt Earl Hall's loyalty, but we have an agreement with the Wise Men. Everything is for the future of the empire. If you want Dorothy to exempt the Wise Men, then let the two children get engaged. If it's someone from the Frank family, this won't be a problem. The two children grew up together and have a foundation of affection. It shouldn't be unfair to Dorothy, right?"
Although Augustus had no expression on his face, he was extremely excited in his heart.
This was what he wanted, for Dorothy to be his queen.
With Dorothy becoming queen, there was no need to worry about the Hall family rebelling.
"Dorothy, will you marry me?"
Augulas still had some psychological trauma after his last confession failed, so he mustered up the courage to ask.
Dorothy looked at Augustus, then at the two elders of the Frank family.
"I am willing to contribute to the future of the empire. I will join the army and conquer the Azure Dragon Court for His Majesty the Emperor. I will find the Azure Dragon Whip, the gift of His Majesty. I will become the sharp sword of the empire, but I cannot accept Auglas. I have always regarded Auglas as a friend and family member, and it is difficult to change this idea."
The two elders did not expect Dorothy to refuse, but if the legendary witch was willing to fight for Auguras, then the territory of the empire could be expanded again.
This time it is the Azure Dragon Court, and next time it will be the entire Southern Continent and the Northern Continent.
Just like Earl Hall, he became a tool for the Frank family to expand its territory.
"Would you rather be a sword than be my queen?"
Auguras was completely furious.
He stood up from his throne and questioned Dorothy.
Dorothy looked at him and said, "Augus, I'm sorry, I can't marry you."
