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

Chapter 253: Empire War Pact War Witch
"Creed families cannot intermarry. This is a rule established when the Holy Empire was founded. Has Your Majesty forgotten this?"

Earl Hall stood in front of Dorothy, blocking Augustus's sight.

"Rules are dead, but people are alive. This rule should have been revised long ago."

The elder of the Frank family said.

"If the Hall family is worried about this, then there is no need to worry. We will propose amendments and abolish this convention at this year's Creed Family Council."

Another elder said.

"Stop it. I won't force Dorothy to do anything she doesn't want to do."

Auguras stopped the two elders from continuing.

"I understand that Dorothy doesn't want to get married yet. I know Earl Hall's loyalty to the Empire better than anyone else. Since Dorothy wants to fight for the Empire, then go ahead."

Dorothy was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Augustus to agree to her so easily.

"Dorothy Hall, Imperial Rose, I, Augustus Frank, the 11th Emperor of the Holy Empire, officially open the War Pact for you. Dorothy Hall, you are now the Empire's War Witch. You will dedicate your life to the Imperial War. Are you willing?"

It was obvious that Augustus did this out of spite.

After the war convention was opened, Dorothy Hall, as a war witch, was destined to fight forever. She could either die on the battlefield or win every battle and expand the territory of the empire.

If Dorothy regrets it now and wants to marry him, it is not too late. He will let Dorothy be his queen peacefully.

"Your Majesty the Emperor."

Earl Hall wanted to say something but was interrupted by Augulas.
"Count, I am asking about Dorothy Hall, the legendary witch of the empire, not you."

Earl Hall frowned again. Even though he was an earl, he could not resist the highest authority in the empire.

"Dad, I can decide for myself."

Dorothy's eyes revealed determination and courage. She stood in the center of the magnificent hall, her eyes as sharp as torches, staring directly at Augustus.

Those deep eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, making even the powerful Auglas tremble in his heart.

This was the first time Dorothy looked at him like that. August's Adam's apple rolled and he swallowed subconsciously.

Under everyone's gaze, Dorothy took off the hair accessory from her long purple hair. One end of the hair accessory was sharp like a dagger.

Her long purple hair cascaded down her back, framing her porcelain skin.

Even in the flashy palace, she is still the most beautiful scenery.

Dorothy's fingers gently slid across the hair ornament, and with a flick of her wrist, the hair ornament shot out into the air like a silver meteor, pointing directly at Augustus.

The air seemed to freeze, and time lost its meaning at this moment.

Some of the servants in the hall had already fallen to their knees with their hands on their heads, while others had their eyes wide open, unable to believe what they saw.

Their breathing became rapid and shallow, as if they were afraid that the sound of their breathing would break the deathly silence.

Dorothy didn't hesitate at all. Her sharp hair ornaments, carrying her determination and anger, scratched the gorgeous crystal chandeliers hanging in the hall, bringing up strings of dust and tiny crystal pieces. They floated in the air like fragments of time dancing in chaos.

The hair ornament brushed past Auglas' left ear and was less than 2 cm away from him before it was deeply embedded in the throne made of gold and gems.

The atmosphere was extremely tense, and everyone in the hall could hear their own nervous heartbeats.

Dorothy's actions were beyond everyone's expectations.

Horror, fear, and disbelief flashed in Augulas' eyes.

"Augustus, I am Dorothy Hall. No one can order me around. I am free to do whatever I want. If you try to force me, the Frank family should not forget that the cornerstone of the Holy Empire is the Seven Creed Families, not just the Frank family."

Auglas stood there in a daze.

Earl Hall finally reacted, his eyes became moist, and he sighed in his heart that it was better to be young.

If I were 20 years younger, I would probably be like Dorothy, right?

The Hall family had been enslaved by the Frank family for too long, causing Earl Hall to forget the pride of being a Creed family. Today, Dorothy helped him regain his confidence.

"How dare you, Dorothy Hall, you attempt to kill the Emperor?"

The elder of the Frank family stood up and looked at Dorothy angrily.

The knights had already rushed forward and surrounded Auglas.

None of them had thought that Dorothy would actually attack His Majesty the Emperor, and only then did they realize it.

They drew their swords and shields and looked at Dorothy as if she were facing a great enemy.

"I am the Empire's only legendary witch. I hope you will be careful with your words. I am confident that no one else in the Holy Empire can defeat me. Even His Holiness the Pope must respect me."

Dorothy was right. As the only legendary witch in the empire, although Dorothy had never shown her fighting ability to outsiders, the wise men's evaluation of her was that you should never provoke her, as she was extremely dangerous.

This is enough to prove that Dorothy is very powerful and even the strongest artificial witch cannot match her.

Plus, Dorothy has a real dragon.

"Has the Frank family been the indenture master for too long and thinks the Hall family should be enslaved by you?
I forgot the convention that the Creed family has supreme power in the empire. If you don’t remember it, I can help you review it.

Augulas, I have no interest in your throne or your position as queen.

This time is just a warning. Do not try to order me around or control me again. If you anger me again next time, I won't mind letting the entire Holy Empire bear the wrath of the Legendary Witch."

Dorothy's speech silenced the entire hall.

The servants' legs were weak.

They wished they were deaf and could hear nothing.

Beads of sweat appeared on the knights' heads. They gripped their weapons nervously, feeling the pressure from the powerful witch.

The elders of the Frank family and Augulas only realized at this time that the person standing in front of them was not just a noble girl from the Hall family, but a real witch with great power, not an artificial witch created by them and brainwashed since childhood.

If Dorothy is willing, she can certainly become Auguras's bride. If she is not willing, even if the entire Guardian Bureau is mobilized, they cannot trap her.

Seeing Augustus' pale face, Dorothy knew that her deterrent effect had taken effect.

She said lightly,
"Five years. I will fight for you for five years. After five years, no one can stop me from doing whatever I want. But these five years are equivalent to the past 5 years. Auglas. From now on, you are neither my friend nor my relative. You are just the emperor, and I am just the witch. We have nothing to do with each other."

Dorothy took her old father, Earl Hall's hand and turned to leave. When she reached the door of the hall, Dorothy turned around and looked at the three Franks in high seats with cold eyes.
"If anyone dares to harm anyone from the Hall family, I will make him regret being born into this world."

The elder of the Frank family, who was planning to use members of the Hall family to restrict Dorothy, had a gloomy face as if water could be squeezed out of it.

Augustus stood up and looked at Dorothy's receding back, and suddenly felt that something was missing in his heart.

The five-year war witch canceled out all the friendship between childhood sweethearts.

He wanted to reach out and save her, wanted to call Dorothy, but he found that his throat seemed to be blocked by something.

Every breath he took was trembling, as if carrying his heavy heart.

He knew that he had lost Dorothy forever.

When Earl Hall and Dorothy left the palace, night had already enveloped the entire Yalong City.

Even though Yalong City is still brightly lit, darkness is the underlying color of the night, and long shadows can be seen everywhere.

"Dad, am I too willful?"

Inside the carriage, Dorothy looked at Earl Hall with an apologetic look. She had lost all the fierceness and arrogance she had in the hall, and turned back into the well-behaved daughter she was.

Earl Hall smiled and shook his head. "My Dorothy, you have always been my pride. You did better than Dad today."

"Dad, thank you."

Dorothy rested her head on her father's shoulder and said, "Thank you for always supporting my decisions."

"Dorothy, you've grown up, and I've grown old."

"No, Dad is not old at all. The entire Hall family still needs Dad."

Noticing Earl Hall's low mood, Dorothy comforted him.

Earl Hall smiled and nodded, then looked out the window at the gradually shrinking palace castle, wondering what he was thinking.

That night, all the servants and knights who witnessed Dorothy's attack on Augulas were executed by Augulas.

Augustus returned to the Frank family, and the elders held an emergency meeting.

Discussing the witch Dorothy.

"Dorothy is too powerful. She must be restrained."

"Yes, since she can't become a member of our Frank family, she should accept the restrictions."

"She can threaten Augras today and overthrow the Empire tomorrow."

"The Hall family has wealth and Dorothy's power. If the Hall family wants to rebel, Auglas, you will be in danger."

"The Hall family must be suppressed."…

The family elders and the people in charge were discussing.

Augustus was distracted.

He was still reminiscing about his childhood, and how Dorothy had stood up to protect him. That lovely girl had unknowingly grown up and turned into a legendary witch.

The Dorothy in memory overlaps with the Dorothy of the present.

Augulas seemed to see the hair ornament piercing the throne again.

He still holds this ornament in his hand.

Augulas didn't even remember how he returned to the palace chambers.

Zenobia hugged Augustus from behind, "My Emperor, why do you look so sad?"

"Me? Sad?"

Auguras turned and looked at Zenobia, "What are you talking about?"

"Look at your tears. Who can make my eagle cry?"

Zenobia gently wiped the tears from Augustus' eyes.

Augustus didn't realize that he was crying.

"I lost Dorothy."

Auguras whispered.

Zenobia seemed to have anticipated this day. She held Augustus in her arms.
"It's okay, I'll always be with you."

"Will you be my queen?"

"No, I'm your family."

Zenobia kissed Augustus on the lips.

Soon, lewd sounds were heard from the bedroom.

In fact, Augustus also understood that his feelings for Dorothy had deteriorated since he wanted her to give birth to a powerful army for him, but he just didn't want to admit it.

Until today, everything has been made clear.

Only then did he realize that he and Dorothy were in completely different worlds.

His tears were filled with both reluctance and regret.

……

Dorothy returned to the tower and rushed into the arms of her lover.

Before Lee En could react, Dorothy stood on tiptoe and kissed him.

As if there was no one around.

Emma coughed twice and covered her eyes.

"Ahem, I'm still here. I'm too embarrassed to look at you. I'm too embarrassed to look at you."

"Emma, ​​why don't you go and rest?"

Dorothy turned around and looked at her best friend with dissatisfaction.

Emma became even more dissatisfied and pointed at Li En.

"It's not that I don't want to rest, but I can't sleep at all without you. I'm afraid this guy will hurt me."

"So you guys are just going to wait for me to come back?"

Dorothy asked with a smile.

"What's so funny about this? It's not funny at all."

Emma pouted.

She was actually extremely envious of Dorothy, who could kiss her lover so unscrupulously.

She also wanted to kiss Constantine like this, but unfortunately Constantine never gave her the chance.

Any movement she makes like this will be predicted and avoided.

Constantine seemed to deliberately keep a distance from him, and he didn't know what he was afraid of.

"Will you harm her?"

Dorothy looked at Lee En.

"I won't do anything to upset Dorothy. At most, I'll use her as bait."

The main thing is that she can't be killed.

Li En added in his heart.

"Look, he won't hurt you."

Dorothy looked at Emma seriously.

Emma rolled her eyes, "A woman in love is simply hopeless."

"Emma, ​​get along well with Li En, you will find that he is a good person."

Dorothy said with a smile.

"oh oh."

Emma came over, took Dorothy's arm, and then pulled Dorothy away, "Let's go to bed, I'm so sleepy."

"what?"

Dorothy glanced at Li En with regret.

Li En raised an eyebrow and patted Alexander's head, "Go to sleep with your mother."

"Okay, Dad."

Alexander came forward, "Mom, I want to join you too."

"Ah, no."

Emma didn't want to sleep with Alexander, for fear of being bitten by the little devil in the middle of the night.

Finally, Emma went to the guest room helplessly. Alexander did not sleep with Dorothy either. She was surrounded by a group of magical creatures. She wanted to play all night. The little dragon was very energetic and only needed to sleep for 2 hours a day.

Lee En pulled Dorothy into the bathroom.

The two of them exchanged life experiences while bathing.

Until Dorothy could no longer argue and began to beg for mercy.

In the second half of the night, the two left the bathroom and lay down on the bed to rest.

"You seem a little different today."

Li En said softly.

"It's different? What's different?"

Dorothy looked at Li En curiously.

"Well, I haven't been so proactive before."

"Because you helped me gain my freedom, I need to reward you, and it doesn't look like you like it."

"I like it, I really like it. Since it's a reward, I might as well give you a little more."

"Ah, no more. Really no more."

The two of them were playing around when they suddenly noticed a sneaky figure who pushed open the door, slipped in, and got under the covers. "Dorothy, I can't sleep alone. I have a lot to say to you."

Emma pushed Li En and said, "Can you give up your seat?"

Li En was completely stunned.

This girl is very afraid of me during the day, but she is so bold at night. Who gives her the courage?
Dorothy looked at Li En helplessly and said, "How about I just chat with Emma tonight?"

"Uh, okay."

Li En climbed out of bed and left alone, leaving his fiancée to her best friend.

Emma asked in surprise, "Are you all sleeping together? Oh my God, Dorothy, you are moving so fast. I just saw that he was not wearing pants."

"You can't look at him, he's mine."

"Uh, then I won't watch it. How did you guys do it so quickly? How did you take him down? Teach me."

"What do you want to do?"

"I also want to take my relationship with Constantine to the next level."

Emma looked at Dorothy excitedly, looking for advice.

"If you're better than him, you can push him. That's what I did at the beginning."

Dorothy stroked her chin and said seriously.

The topics of conversation between best friends are really exciting.

After listening for a while, Li En felt that he could not go on.

Otherwise, the image of Dorothy in his mind would be equated with Anna.

When a woman becomes arrogant, men have no chance to show off.

However, Li En was in a good mood after receiving Dorothy's affirmation of his abilities.

The next day, the bells of St. Lucas Cathedral rang on time, announcing the arrival of a new day.

The morning mist is like smoke, gently spreading over Yalong City.

As the sun rises, its golden rays shine through the mist, illuminating the spacious streets in a mottled manner.

On the city walls, the figures of the guards loomed, their spears and armor gleaming coldly in the hazy light. Teams of soldiers marched through the streets, their footsteps echoing in the silence, gradually awakening the sleeping residents.

Li En and Ophelia entered the palace early in a carriage.

With the expedition imminent, Augulas didn't want to be angry about Li En causing a scene in the Guardian Bureau for Sophie. He had only two purposes in meeting Li En and Ophelia today: one was to give them a warning, and the other was to encourage them.

Li En seemed to be in a good mood and listened attentively to Augustus' words.

Ophelia also said a lot of good things about Li En and put the matter aside.

"Let's go, I'll see you off."

Augulas patted Li En on the shoulder.

Only then did Li En realize that today was the day of the expedition.

"Your Majesty, I haven't changed my armor yet."

"You can change it again on the battleship."

"Uh, okay."

Second expedition.

The massive army slowly marched out from under the castle's shadow, the clatter of heavy armor and the crisp thud of horse hooves blending together to form a solemn and tense march.

The soldiers were wearing armor, holding swords and shields, and there was a gleam of tension and determination in everyone's eyes.

Flags fluttered in the wind. A sudden, resounding military bugle call pierced the morning tranquility. The sound, full of power and appeal, made everyone's blood boil.

People woke up from their sleep, walked out of their homes, and stood on both sides of the road, bidding farewell to these armored guardians with prayers and blessings, their eyes full of admiration for the heroes.

The young emperor rode his horse at the front of the team, with Grand Duke Moria and Earl Hall on his left and right respectively.

Following behind were the director of the Guardian Bureau, Ophelia, the upstart of the empire, Li En, and the legendary witch Dorothy.

Then came the numerous ministers and knights.

Finally, the army.

The team came from the city to the dock in a huge procession.

On the sea is the brand new Holy Empire fleet.

The fleet marched forward in a mighty formation, like a solemn guard of honor.

The sunlight shines on the ship, and the silver hull reflects dazzling light, as if it is the brightest star in the ocean.

The flags fluttered in the sea breeze, and the canvases embroidered with golden lions and blue shields seemed to declare the power and majesty of the Holy Empire to the world.

Between ships, the sailors wore uniform navy blue uniforms, held the ropes tightly in their hands, their faces filled with pride and determination.

Their gazes were firm, and even the waves lapping at their cheeks could not shake their loyalty to the empire.

This fleet consists of 10 warships and 20 supply ships.

Each ship was a giant warship capable of carrying thousands of people. The team was huge, with a total number of 1 people.

The ability to build so many warships in a short period of time was due to the disastrous defeat of the Burns Empire. The Holy Empire and the Burns Empire formed an alliance to jointly explore the Blue Dragon Court again. The Burns Empire sent the world's best shipbuilders to participate in the construction of warships and accompanying maintenance.

The fleet of the Burns Empire will also meet up with the fleet of the Holy Empire at sea.

Li En didn't know this before, but only heard it from Augulas on the day of the expedition.

Although it is a cooperation, Augulas will definitely not share the Blue Dragon Whip with the Burns people.

So I talked with Li En and Grand Duke Moria in private for a long time.

As for Earl Hall and Dorothy, Augustus's current attitude is to use them but not to get close to them.

Just like his last time, Augustus gave a passionate speech in front of the people and soldiers.

It was as if nothing had happened in the hall yesterday. His pre-war mobilization ignited the enthusiasm of all the soldiers.

"We must win! We must win! We must win!"

The knights and soldiers shouted victory and began to board the ship.

Augustus, Ophelia, and a group of ministers saw them off at the dock.

Earl Hall and Grand Duke Moria respectively boarded the warships flying the family flags, and Dorothy and Li En were forced to separate.

The witches boarded the ship with the Vatican staff. They were supposed to follow Dorothy, but Dorothy's behavior yesterday made the Frank family feel resentful.

The black dragon Alexander hovered above the fleet, bringing hope of victory to everyone.

Sophie did not board the boat with Li En, she stayed on shore with Diane.

"Brother won't die again this time, right?"

Diane said in a baby voice.

When Sophie heard Diane say this, she prepared to board the ship without hesitation. If Li En had not stopped her in time, she might have followed her.

"Sophie, remember what I told you?"

"Yeah, I remember."

"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. Thank you for your hard work. Wait for me to come back."

"it is good."

Sophie, Ellie and Cameron stayed in the capital to protect the Moria family members who remained in the capital.

After the last fierce resistance and Fia's self-sacrifice, the Wise Men will not attack Sophie and Ellie for the time being. Moreover, even if they do, the two who have been educated by Li En will join forces to resist.

The fighting power of these two is enough to overturn the entire capital.

Li En doesn't need to worry about their safety for the time being.

Although this would mean another brief separation from Sophie, Li En couldn't take her with him to get engaged with Dorothy, right?

Li En's original intention was to take the army to the Blue Dragon Court and transform the Blue Dragon Court into a second territory in addition to the Green Shade Territory, where he would get engaged to Dorothy. The wedding could be delayed for another two years so that he could first give Dorothy an explanation and confirm the title of his fiancée.

In order to avoid making Sophie sad, it would be better for her not to be present at occasions like engagements.

Li En knew that Sophie was actually tormented every time she saw him with Catherine or Dorothy.

To minimize this situation, the best way is to not let three women get together.

No matter how harmonious they appear, they must be suffering inside.

As for other women, they had to be hidden.

I'm sorry, I will only marry three at most. For the others, you can only be my mistresses.

Li En planned his future in this way. After comforting Sophie, he boarded the ship again.

Auglas envied Li En very much, as he seemed to have a good relationship with the Ice Witch Sophie.

He even thought that Li En might abandon Catherine and marry Sophie.

After all, Sophie is better than Catherine in almost every way except wealth.

The Moria family is not short of money.

At least that's what outsiders think.

"I'm waiting for your triumphant return."

Augulas finally said to Li En.

Li En nodded slightly.

The army boarded the ship one after another, and everything was in order.

Mona Isaacson was also among the nobles who were seeing her off. She was wearing a simple light purple long dress today and did not wear any accessories, but she stood out among the noble girls.

She seemed to want to say goodbye to Li En, and hurriedly ran to the dock, but accidentally tripped over a stone and fell to the ground in a mess.

Augustus helped her up and was stunned when he saw her tearful appearance and the dress that was very similar to the one Dorothy wore when she was a child.

If you look closely, you'll find that Mona Isaacson's eyes are actually somewhat similar to Dorothy's.

"Do you like Li En that much?"

Augulas helped Mona Isaacson to her feet.

"Yes. Your Majesty, will you marry me to him after his triumphant return?"

Mona Isaacson asked, biting her lip.

"He won't accept you. He has too many women around him."

Looking into those eyes, Augulas suddenly felt an inexplicable jealousy.

But it also sparked my interest in Mona Isaacson.

This is exactly Mona Isaacson's purpose. Unlike other aristocratic girls, she is not fooled by Li En's appearance. She has a strong purpose.

Mona Isaacson believes she was born to be a queen and is willing to work hard for it.

"I don't mind. I just want to be his wife. Your Majesty, can you help me?"

"Why should I help you?"

Auglas found it a little funny.

"Because... because of me, I, I can become a friend of His Majesty the Emperor. If His Majesty the Emperor needs help, I can also help you."

Mona Isaacson said innocently.

The girl's eyes seemed to tell no lies, with crystal clear tears welling up in her eyes.

This was a side of Dorothy that she had never shown in front of him, one of grievance and dependence.

"hehe."

Augustus did not agree to Mona Isaacson and turned away.

But Mona Isaacson knew she had made the first move and impressed Auglas.

It also creates a reasonable reason to approach Auglas.

After that, she can approach Auguras as a "friend" and ask for Li En's information, and then gradually let the young emperor fall into the love trap she carefully created, and step by step move towards the high position of queen.

Mona Isaacson could sense a subtle hint of jealousy in the way Augulas looked at Li En.

If this point can be used properly to arouse Augulas's desire to compete, then he will fall madly in love with himself.

Maybe at first I just saw myself as a stand-in for Dorothy, but that’s okay.

Mona Isaacson believed that Auglas would like Lee En's things, and would like the twisted pleasure and sense of accomplishment when taking Lee En's things even more.

Because Augustus never thought that he would lose to his peers. This was the pride in the young emperor's bones.

If Dorothy and Li En fall in love during this expedition, then the probability of success will increase from 60% to 90%.

However, Mona Isaacson is 100% certain that Li En has an extraordinary relationship with Dorothy and Sophie. This is her unique female intuition.

The Holy Empire Fleet set out again.

The young emperor got on his throne and left the dock.

The dock was packed with people, and the residents of the royal capital cheered and bid farewell to the warriors.

The foreign war broke out completely, and the southern overlord Mary also completely occupied the Hongmei Territory.

She loaded the Adam family's cash and jewelry into a car, sent it back to the capital by train, and presented it to the Frank family.

And the nobles of Hongmei Territory will become Mary's new money bags.

The new puppet has successfully taken over. Without Li En's obstruction, Mary swallowed the Red Plum Collar at an astonishing speed and the progress was extremely smooth.

Mary looked at the map of the southern empire hanging on the wall and fell into deep thought.

"Should we attack Green Shade Territory first, or Blue Moon Territory?"

The Blue Moon Territory must be on guard, and to attack the Green Shade Territory, one must first capture the Quentin Territory or pass through the Forest of Bones.

Well, this forest has been renamed the Golden Forest and belongs to the outer territory of the Green Shade Territory.

In comparison, Quentin Territory is easier to capture.

They were completely unprepared, unlike their old rival Catherine, who was already actively preparing for battle.

Mary drew a circle on the map of Quentin's territory with a pen, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

"Viscount Barton Leonard, I choose you. Quentin's horse is pretty good."

"Mrs. Mary."

Melinda, who had replaced Nancy as the true deacon of the Rosethorn, stepped forward and said, "You came to me."

"Yes, I want to know all the information about Quentin Territory now. Including everything about the Leonard family."

Melinda didn't expect that Mary would immediately turn her attention to another territory after just swallowing up the Adam Family.

Of course, this kind of Mary is considered very attractive by the skinner Melinda.

After a brief moment of surprise and astonishment, Melinda said,

"Jacques Leonard, the head of the Leonard family, is 55 years old and greedy. He has seven wives, five sons, and 7 daughters. The legal heir, Jolan Leonard, is the eldest son and 5 years old..."

In the hall, Melinda quickly told Mary the intelligence coefficient of the Leonard family.

Outside the hall, there was a sound of wailing.

All the nobles of the Red Plum Territory who opposed Mary were killed by the knights of the Order of the Rose without a single one left alive.

The streets of Hongmei Territory were stained red with blood, and many people died under the hooves of war.

But soon, everything will come back to life and become orderly.

In Mary's view, the common people were like weeds, always growing in waves.
