Miss Witch, It's Time to Clean Up the Entries - Chapter 16

[By the time you see this letter, it proves you have discovered the truth.

Green Shade Territory was built by my own hands. In the countless future outcomes I saw, it inevitably headed towards destruction.

Until a variable appeared, and you are that only variable.

Therefore, you are the one I chose, the only one who can save Green Shade Territory.

For this, I paid a sufficiently heavy price.

I know you are not my real child.

You also don’t need to worry, the side effects of the ‘Eye of the Future’ will not affect you.]

Upon reading this, Leon’s pupils constricted.

Moria already knew he wasn’t his real child!

Leon felt a sense of fear, as if his deepest secret had been exposed.

[I took the ‘Eye of the Future’ because I don’t want you to become the same as me, the same lonely and helpless person.

Anyone who comes into contact with the ‘Eye of the Future’ cannot help but want to use it, to rely on it. It is a gift, but also a curse.

My wife and children have all left this world because of it. This makes me deeply regretful, but also powerless.

If Green Shade Territory was destined for destruction from the start, why did I build it step by step?

I thought for a long time and finally realized.

It wasn’t that I was lucky, accidentally finding Sequence 6, the Eye of the Future.

It was Sequence 6, the ‘Eye of the Future’, that chose me.

I am its chosen plaything.

It finds joy in my suffering.

So, no matter what you want to do, never touch a Divine Gift. They are all curses.

Now I will tell you everything I know, hoping it can help you in your future.]

[Are you reading this letter alone right now?]

Leon looked back. Anna, Annie, and Sophie were all staring intently at the letter paper.

Although he really wanted to answer Moria that he wasn’t reading alone, given that Moria couldn’t hear him anyway, Leon decided to continue reading.

[If you are only with Sophie, she can be trusted. She has noble character. Although she is taciturn, she is a good guardian. Please remember to treat her kindly.]

Do I need you to remind me? I will certainly treat an excellent bodyguard like Sophie kindly.

[If you are also with Anna and Annie, it proves you have conquered them. Truly worthy of being the man I chose, possessing the same charming charisma as me. My apologies, I deceived you. They were not chosen by your mother. They are spies, you should know that, right?]

Leon’s mouth twitched slightly. He felt an uncomfortable sensation, wanting to complain but unable to.

[If you are also with the three ministers, it proves you are too trusting. Although they are excellent talents I personally trained, they are not worth your complete trust.]

I didn’t plan to completely trust them anyway. After all, there were no entries of absolute loyalty above their heads.

Thinking thus, Leon continued reading.

[I was originally an abandoned illegitimate son of the Moria family. The Moria family is one of the Empire’s seven great creed families.

Your grandfather, my father, Ryan Moria, is a distinguished Duke. He is also the Empire’s Prime Minister.

But my relationship with him is not good. Even though I became the Lord of Green Shade Territory, in his eyes I am still a disgrace. We have long since severed ties, even being like fire and water.

Despite this, when you encounter desperate situations, please shamelessly go to him, kneel before him, admit the fact that you are his grandson, and let him help you overcome the difficulties.

The price is that he might want to control your life, for example, arranging a noble-born but ugly fiancée for you.

His Majesty the King has planted quite a few spies in Green Shade Territory. I suspect they are all hidden among the nobles. I hope you can find them, otherwise they will sooner or later become stumbling blocks on your path to success.

It is said that the long-lost Divine Gift Sequence 7 has appeared in the Azure Dragon Court.

Sequence 7 Azure Dragon’s Whip grants the holder powerful reproductive ability, and all offspring born possess sub-dragon bloodline, forming an invincible army of dragonborn. The price is that the holder desires to reproduce constantly.

I hope you do not think of obtaining it, even though it can make the Moria family flourish.]

So the Azure Dragon Court held Sequence 7. No wonder the King wanted to attack it. This was likely for the Divine Gift.

The King certainly wouldn’t want overseas forces gradually forming an army of dragonborn that threatened the Empire’s rule.

As for other reasons, it was highly likely to weaken the power of the Lords, killing two birds with one stone.

If that were the case, Mary, who held Sequence 5 Ripper, should also be feared by the King. After all, she could also create an army of Heartless through the Divine Gift.

[If you were to ask me whether I agree with His Majesty the King sending troops to the Azure Dragon Court, my answer is no.

Otherwise, why would I incur so much debt?

I hope you can repay the debt slowly. Even if you are capable, do not repay it all at once.

Well, as it seems now, you probably won’t have that ability.

After all, Green Shade Territory doesn’t have a gold mine.]

I didn’t plan to repay it all at once either.

Leon muttered to himself and continued reading.

[I left you three assistants. Each has their strengths and weaknesses.

Minister of Finance Omari Hani is a very capable fat man. When you encounter economic problems, you can try to let him come up with solutions.

But never rely on him, otherwise he will become inflated, just like his physique.

His weakness is his daughter. He is a complete doting father.

His daughter is truly beautiful, but you must not be fooled. I suspect his daughter must have obtained the entry 【Fatal to Husbands】. Every one of her husbands will die unexpectedly.

Head of Internal Affairs Karel Dennis truly likes men, so please keep your distance from him.

He is meticulous and serious in his work, and many tasks can be handed over to him, but never trust his judgment. He can always find the wrong answer among a pile of correct options.

His weakness is his secret lover, Casian Sut.

Minister of External Affairs Alex Poole is very talented but has a tragic background. As a commoner, he can better understand the feelings of the ordinary subjects. You can communicate with him more often when you have nothing to do.

His mother is still paralyzed in bed. His weakness is his mother.

There is also a matter concerning the old butler Dennis. He is my loyal servant.

I have sent him to do a very important task. You don’t need to look for him; he will return.

I hope you haven’t declared him a spy to the outside world, otherwise his return journey might be a bit bumpy.]

Sorry, I have already declared him a spy to the outside world.

Leon wiped the sweat from his forehead.

[Finally, allowing you to become Lord is not without reward.

For every full year you serve as Lord, I will send you a gift that will satisfy you. I promise, it will absolutely satisfy you.

I will bless you from afar and seek a Tower Witch for you.

In Green Shade Territory, do whatever you want. I will always be your strong backing.]

Tower Witch?

Leon’s eyes lit up.

Of course, it wasn’t that he coveted a Tower Witch, but because this sentence meant that although Moria knew he could save Green Shade Territory, he didn’t know he possessed the ability to clear entries.

His trump card had not been revealed yet!
