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

Chapter 283: The six gifts of the legendary witch war knight guarding the dragon.

In the king's study.

The heavy curtains were half-drawn, and sunlight shone through the gaps onto the crimson carpet, casting a warm glow.

The walls of the study were covered with portraits of kings from past dynasties, their gazes seemingly watching everything in the room.

Augustus sat behind an exquisitely carved oak desk, holding a golden cup inlaid with gems in his hand. The red wine in the cup glowed crimson in the sunlight.

"Your Majesty, Miss Isaacson wishes to see you."

The servant lowered his head and reported humbly, with a slight tremor in his voice.

Augulas frowned slightly, and a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes.

Before Augustus married Emma, ​​he maintained a good relationship with Mona Isaacson, even leading her to believe that she had everything under control and that she could become his queen.

However, Emma Bock's sudden intervention completely shattered Mona Isaacson's dream.

In the past, Auglas would never have refused a meeting with her, but things were different now.

"not see."

Augustus' tone was cold, and he threw the golden cup in his hand heavily to the ground.

The red wine in the glass splashed onto the carpet, as dazzling as blood.

Accompanied by the crisp sound of breaking glass, the servants fell to their knees with their foreheads pressed against the ground, fearing that the young emperor's anger would burn on them.

Augustus wasn't angry at Mona Isaacson, but he had always considered her a stand-in for Dorothy.

Now, Dorothy has completely pissed him off, and the appearance of Mona Isaacson will only make him even more unhappy.

What made him even more angry was that his bride, Emma Burke, had not had any relationship with him so far.

Their engagement was nothing more than a political alliance. Even though he knew this, all the things put together still made him feel extremely depressed and angry.

The servants knelt on the ground, carefully cleaning up the debris on the floor, until Augustus waved his hand coldly, and then they left the study with a sense of relief.

The door was gently closed, and silence returned to the study, with only Augustus' heavy breathing as the sound.

In the shadows where the sun could not reach, a slender figure slowly emerged.

Randall's figure appeared in the corner of the study like a ghost, with a playful smile on his face and a dangerous light in his eyes.

"Our young emperor, who angered you?" Randall's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of sarcasm.

Auglas' eyes were as cold as ice. He raised his head and stabbed Randall with his gaze like a knife.

"Randall, kneel down when you see me. Don't forget who you are. You are no longer the Pope, but a wanted criminal."

There was unquestionable majesty in his voice. Although he had secretly reached a cooperation with Randall, he still couldn't stand the former Pope.

Randall chuckled and shrugged nonchalantly.

"Haha, if I kneel down, can you win back Dorothy? Or can you take the Azure Dragon Whip away from Li En?"

His tone was full of sarcasm, as if he was deliberately trying to provoke Auglas.

Auguras clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from the exertion.

Randall's words were like a sharp knife, piercing his heart.

He took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger in his heart.

"There's no benefit in angering me. If it weren't for my protection, you would have been found by the Creed Family's joint capture team long ago."

Randall smiled faintly, without any gratitude in his eyes.

"Oh, then I should thank you." His tone was full of sarcasm.

If Augulas had not agreed to let the Court of Wisdom take over his case and conduct the trial within the Vatican, Randall could have easily been acquitted by relying on his status and influence.

Augustus deserves credit for his current situation.

At this moment, the air in the study suddenly twisted, a black crack appeared out of thin air, and the gate of hell slowly opened.

The handsome boy with black hair and brown eyes named Lor Jackson walked out with a bright smile on his face.

He was wearing a gorgeous black dress and holding a jewel-encrusted cane in his hand. He exuded a strange and charming aura.

"Eusofa Governor Lor Jackson pays respect to His Majesty the Emperor. May His Majesty remain single forever."

Lor performed a signature aristocratic salute, with a hint of teasing in his tone.

A hint of coldness flashed in Augulas' eyes. If it weren't for the fact that Lor controlled the gates of hell, he wouldn't mind sending him to the guillotine right now.

"Lor, your blessing is truly unique." There was suppressed anger in his voice.

Lor smiled, a sly glint in his eyes.

"Oh, Your Majesty, I sincerely wish you the best. You will never know what it feels like to be betrayed by your friends and family, or to be with someone you don't like, or even a plant."

There was a hint of self-mockery in his tone, as if he was recalling some painful past.

The reason why Lor betrayed Catherine and Li En was because he remembered everything.

Li En made him believe in the Golden Goddess, but he ended up becoming crazy about plants.

In order to continue the family line, Catherine got him drunk without his consent, causing him to suddenly have three mistresses, and finally made him marry Catherine's personal maid.

In Lor's view, he was like a chess piece, being manipulated all the time.

But he hates being manipulated, he wants to control his own destiny.

"I didn't know you had such a bad side, Lol Jackson. You really amaze me."

Mary's voice came from outside the door. She pushed the door open and walked in. The guards and servants at the door had already been dismissed by her.

She was wearing a dark red long dress with golden patterns embroidered on the hem, and she exuded a noble and cool temperament.

Mary has now reached a truce agreement with Augustus, which is also the intention of Seth, the head of the Frank family.

If the two are unwilling to compromise, the head of the family, Seth, will personally teach his nephews and nieces how to be loyal to the family.

Seth's status in the two men's minds is no less than that of their father, the old king.

"My ex-wife, I'm glad to see you again. I'm relieved that you didn't die on the battlefield in the East."

Luo Er said lightly, with a hint of indifference in his tone. He no longer had that psychological shadow when he saw Mary.

Mary smiled slightly, a hint of amusement in her eyes.

"Maybe we can get married again." There was a hint of provocation in her tone.

"Sorry, I just want to be single right now," Lor responded coldly, a hint of a smile on his lips.

"Or do you also want to try the taste of Hell's Gate?"

Mary raised her eyebrows, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"It seems that your love for plants is true, and human women are no longer attractive to you at all." There was a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

"At least plants aren't like women, who only exploit and betray with no sincerity." Lor's eyes suddenly darkened, his tone tinged with suppressed anger. It was the first time Mary had sensed this aura from Lor. Lor had completely changed, a completely different person from the timid, down-and-out nobleman he once was.

"It was Randall who gave you a new life. You should thank Randall. You have become very charming now." There was a hint of appreciation in her tone.

"Thank you. I'm grateful to Randall all the time, and I'm grateful to you, Lee En, and Katherine. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be who I am today."

There was a hint of complex emotion in Lor's voice, as if he was recalling something.

"Mary, what's wrong?"

Auglas asked impatiently, his mood was already extremely bad.

Mary smiled slightly, with a hint of gloating in her eyes.

"Dorothy and Li En are engaged, and I wanted to see your expression." There was a hint of teasing in her tone.

Augulas frowned slightly, with a flash of anger in his eyes. "Mary, you..."

There was suppressed anger in his voice. He should have realized that Mary was here to laugh at him.

"I asked Mary to come. Now that we've formed an alliance, I think it's time to share some intelligence with everyone."

A gentle and cold voice sounded from outside the door, and Emma Burke slowly walked into the study.

Her temperament was different from before. Her skin was paler than before, her lips were as red as blood, and she was wearing a black Gothic-style long dress. Her whole body exuded a morbid beauty.

Just a day ago, Emma completed the transformation from human to vampire, becoming a true immortal.

Coupled with her sage body, even without Constantine, she now has super strong self-healing power and is immune to magic.

"I'm sorry, Auguras, I will never be able to bear offspring for you, but I don't mind you having mistresses and illegitimate children."

Emma said to Auglas.

Augustus didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

He knew what Emma had done.

For Auglas, having a powerful ally was more important than having a gentle wife. Besides, he and Emma had no love for each other.

Emma saw that everyone was present and then she slowly said:

"Grand Duke Moria and Earl Hall have become eight-star war knights."

The air in the study froze instantly, and everyone's face showed an expression of surprise.

Even Randall hadn't guessed that Grand Duke Moria and Earl Hall had been promoted.

"No wonder the two families dared to directly announce the marriage."

Mary whispered, a complex look flashing in her eyes. Although the Eastern Frontier battlefield had accelerated her growth, she was still some distance away from becoming a war knight.

Auglas's face became extremely gloomy, his fists clenched tightly, and his knuckles turned white from the force.

He didn't expect that Earl Hall had been deceiving him from the very beginning, and that the cooperation with the Blue Dragon King was all a conspiracy.

It turns out that what he had always wanted was to provoke a war between the two sides so that he could be promoted and become an eight-star war knight.

Grand Duke Moria might not have known this before, but he certainly learned the truth during the second expedition.

These two people have been keeping me in the dark and playing me like a child!
"I will never forgive Alex Moriah, Byron Hall!!!"

Auglas' voice was filled with anger, the veins in his forehead bulged, and his eyes flashed with rage.

Mary looked at Augustus and suddenly felt a sense of sympathy in her heart.

"Nothing good will happen to you when you meet Lee En Moriah, and yet you insist on believing him."

Emma continued:

"Dorothy is stronger than before, and she has completely merged with the [Fairy Tale Book].

In addition, Li En also possesses the [Eye of the Future], [Seal of Splitting], [Cyan Dragon Whip], and a gift whose name I don't know."

There was a hint of solemnity in her tone.
"We must hold a secret meeting before the major families leave. We cannot allow the Moria family to return to the North, nor can we allow the Hall family to leave the capital."

"Things are getting interesting," Lor said with a smile, a glimmer of excitement in his eyes.

Apart from him, almost no one could laugh.

Two eight-star war knights, a legendary witch, five gifts, and a giant dragon, such a force is enough to tear apart the relationship and overthrow the existing rule.

Randall's voice sounded coldly:
"Oh, I forgot to remind everyone that the [Ear of Ignorance] is also in Li En's hands. So, he has mastered six gifts."

Everyone's heart sank to the bottom.

The legendary witch, the war knight, the two creed families, the guardian dragon, and the six gifts - such forces are enough to overturn the table and change the dynasty.

Augustus and Mary felt a deep sense of crisis.

If the Frank family wants to continue to rule, they must destroy this force.

"Such a force is enough to instill fear in anyone. Fear is the catalyst that strengthens people's hearts."

"The reason why the Creed family has been able to maintain a balance for hundreds of years is because the family power is equal. If this balance is broken, it will lead to an uneven distribution of benefits. Therefore, now is the best time to unite with other Creed families."

……

Duke's Palace, Alexburg.

Lord Moria is hosting a family dinner for Li En and Dorothy as a complement to their engagement, and has invited important retainers from the Moria and Hall families to participate.

The flames from the silver candlesticks cast dancing shadows on the stone dome, and sixty high-backed oak chairs surrounded a long table carved with vines.

Grand Duke Moria, sitting on the main seat, pierced the quail's breast with the tip of a silver fork. The deep red wine flowed down the edge of the gilded plate, leaving dark red blood spots on the linen tablecloth.

The aroma of roasted meat, mixed with the sweet spice of cinnamon and cloves, filled the hall. Twelve servants shuttled back and forth carrying pewter kettles, and dark red wine made a sticky gurgling sound as it was poured into goblets.

Lord Hall's silver fork suddenly struck the porcelain plate. The crisp sound startled the maid serving the roast venison, causing her to stumble half a step, and the juice from the meat splashed onto the unicorn embroidery on the tapestry.

The dull sound of swords colliding with armor came from the far end of the long table. The knights still stood with their spears in hand, their eyes through the slits in their visors following the waist of the wine-maid.

When the third course of candied cherries was served, the old duke suddenly pushed his plate away, and the sound of the bone china causing the pianist to pluck the wrong string on the lute.

All the knives and forks were suspended in mid-air, and honey dripped from the silver spoons, making a clear clicking sound in the silence.

Grand Duke Moria and Hall raised their glasses at the same time.

"May the Moriah family and the Hall family advance and retreat together and prosper forever."

"May the Hall family and the Moria family advance and retreat together and prosper forever."

The retainers of the Moria family and the Hall family raised their glasses and repeated,

"Advance and retreat together, and prosper forever!"

Li En and Dorothy smiled at each other. At this moment, there was only each other in their eyes.
