Miss Witch, It's Time to Clean Up the Entries - Chapter 10

“Green Shade Territory possesses the Divine Gift of Sequence 6, called the Eye of the Future. I only know that its appearance is similar to a crystal ball and it should have the ability to foresee the future. I don’t know much else.”

Sophie had never seen Moria use the Eye of the Future either, so her information was quite limited.

Foresee the future? This is indeed a good thing.

However, with old Moria’s personality, such a good thing was probably taken away with the jewels from the treasury.

Although it was a bit regrettable not to see the crystal ball that could foresee the future, this might be a good thing for him.

Before having enough strength, possessing treasures too early would only be a burden.

Green Shade Territory already had a pile of affairs to deal with. If someone else coveted the Eye of the Future and caused disputes, wouldn’t that just be adding insult to injury?

However, before the “friends” from the Imperial Bank returned, Leon decided to first resolve the hidden dangers around him to avoid being backstabbed while he was focused on building the economy of Green Shade Territory.

According to Sophie’s tone, there were only 10 Divine Gifts in the Holy Empire, and they were extremely rare. So, was the purpose of the two maids hiding by his side for the “Eye of the Future”?

Thinking of this, Leon got out of bed, wrapped himself in a thick blanket, and walked out of the bedroom with the witch Sophie.

“Anna, Annie, accompany me to the treasury.”

The twin maids Anna and Annie, who had been guarding the bedroom door, exchanged glances and followed.

They had already confirmed the unusual relationship between the new Lord Leon and Miss Witch Sophie. Otherwise, why would Miss Witch come out of Leon’s bedroom?

“Lord Leon, aren’t you drunk?”

Anna asked with concern.

“Lord Leon, you lied to the nobles.”

Annie added.

“That much alcohol is not enough to make me drunk. Have the nobles left?”

“They are still gathering in the banquet hall.”

Anna said.

The four of them arrived at the treasury on the third floor. Leon took out the key and opened the treasury door.

At this time, the treasury was empty.

Let alone the Divine Gift, not even a single gold coin was left for Leon.

Leon gave Sophie a look, and Sophie tacitly closed the treasury door.

Then, Leon wrapped himself tighter in the blanket, and the temperature in the room began to drop.

A six-petaled ice crystal appeared in the air.

Just as Anna and Annie saw this snowflake, four ice-frost chains extending from the ground had already bound their hands and feet.

“Lord Leon?”

They raised their heads in terror and looked at Leon, their eyes full of confusion.

“What are you doing?”

Anna and Annie had not expected at all that Leon would suddenly attack them.

“Anna, Annie, I am very disappointed in you. You actually stole all the treasures from the treasury, including the Divine Gift.”

When Annie and Anna heard that the Divine Gift had also been stolen, surprised expressions appeared in their eyes, but they quickly reacted.

“Lord Leon, we didn’t take anything.”

Anna said.

“If we really stole the Divine Gift and the jewels, why would we stay in the Lord’s Mansion? Where are the Divine Gift and the jewels that we supposedly stole hidden?”

Annie added.

Leon gently tapped his high nose bridge with his finger and said in an analytical tone,

“The things you stole have already been taken away by Dennis. In reality, you and Dennis are accomplices, both spies!

The purpose of you staying in the Lord’s Mansion, never mind, it’s not important. After killing you, I can declare that you committed suicide out of fear of your crimes after being discovered by me.

Then, I can issue a bounty and nationwide search for Dennis.”

Leon knew perfectly well that old geezer Moria had emptied these things, but he deliberately said this.

No matter how Anna and Annie explained, he wouldn’t accept it.

He looked determined to make the two maids take the blame.

“Lord Leon, you won’t believe us no matter what, will you?”

Anna asked.

“Aren’t you a spy? Your purpose in coming to my side was for the Divine Gift, wasn’t it? Do you really think my esteemed father left without telling me anything?”

“Did Lord Moria say that?”

Anna looked at Leon in surprise.

“Sophie, kill them.”

Leon said indifferently.

Sophie nodded slightly.

Two ice spikes condensed in the air and stabbed towards Anna and Annie.

And at this moment, Annie, as an assassin, broke free from the ice-frost chains. Her figure was like a ghost, quickly coming to Anna’s side, slicing through the restraints on her sister with a dagger. She hugged Anna, dodged the attack of the two ice spikes, and quickly moved to the window.

Her speed was very fast; only afterimages were visible to the naked eye.

Just as Annie was about to jump out of the window with Anna and escape, Leon’s voice sounded again,

“Run, become wanted criminals of the Empire. You will be charged with stealing the Divine Gift. No matter where you go, you will have no place to rest.”

Annie stopped in her tracks.

Leon was right. If they were charged with stealing the Divine Gift, even if they fled back to their original master, they would still be suspected, because no one could resist the temptation of the Divine Gift.

The Divine Gift symbolized power, status, and strength.

Green Shade Territory was built by Moria single-handedly with the help of the Sequence 6 Eye of the Future.

Therefore, if they left the Lord’s Mansion, Anna and Annie were destined to become fugitives, abandoned by the whole world.

“Lord Leon, what do you want to do?”

Anna asked.

“I’m just letting you know your fate in advance.”

Leon said indifferently,

“Do you really think that after you complete your mission, you will have a good ending? No matter whose hands the Divine Gift eventually falls into, the fate of spies and assassins is ultimately to be discarded pieces. Your fate is either to be eliminated or to bear infamy and flee for your lives.”

Under the enhancement of the 【Lord】 entry, Leon’s words gained 10% persuasiveness.

So, Anna and Annie both took these words to heart.

Annie put her sister Anna down. The sisters exchanged glances and nodded, as if having made up their minds.

Annie’s figure moved rapidly, appearing beside Leon. A short blade glowing with silvery-white light appeared in her hand.

As long as they killed Leon, even if they were wanted, they would not be charged with stealing the Divine Gift. Although this also meant the mission failed, at least they wouldn’t be so passive.

Unfortunately, Annie’s hand was once again caught by an ice-frost chain, and her entire right arm was frozen solid. The frost was still spreading throughout her body.

“Stop, we lost.”

Anna said.

She knew that although Annie was fast, it was impossible to defeat the Ice Witch.

But she also understood her sister Annie’s rebellious nature. Unless she tried something herself, she wouldn’t easily believe it.

Annie looked at Sophie reluctantly,

“Ice Witch, are you really not worried about losing control by using your magic so frequently?”

“For Lord Leon, it is all worth it.”

Sophie said with a cold expression.

Leon touched his neck, which had almost been sliced off, swallowed, and said,

“Never mind, let them go, Sophie. I look forward to seeing them being hunted by the whole world.”

Sophie nodded slightly, and the ice frost binding Annie disappeared.

Annie felt her right hand regain sensation and movement, but she also gave up the idea of trying to assassinate Leon again.

Anna and Annie simultaneously knelt before Leon. The wise and calm Anna spoke,

“Lord Leon, what do you want from us?”
