Miss Witch, It's Time to Clean Up the Entries - Chapter 26

Green Shade Territory.

Inside Romiada’s luxurious mansion.

A stifling atmosphere hung in the air.

These privileged nobles, protected by the high wall, were basically isolated from monsters. The biggest storms in their lives were likely diseases.

And among all diseases, the Red Itch Plague was the one they least wanted to encounter.

Because it was a fatal disease from which there was no return.

Leon was also thinking. When he first arrived in Green Shade Territory, he was almost buried alive by the guards.

The survivors of the caravan entered Green Shade Territory because of him.

Did they really carry the virus? No, if that were the case, he would have been more likely to be infected by being in the same carriage with them in a confined space. Shouldn’t he have fallen ill long ago?

But his physique was very healthy now, with no signs of infection.

And they didn’t carry entries like 【Virus Source】 or 【Infected with Plague】.

Unlike Miss Layla’s situation.

Just as Layla fell ill, Leon saw her hidden entry 【Infected with Plague】.

A doctor in a white coat entered Layla’s room, and soon came out shaking his head, saying something in the ear of the butler, Luan Schroeder.

Luan Schroeder came to Romiada’s side and said with a heavy tone, “It’s the Red Itch Plague.”

“How is that possible? Weren’t those infected refugees buried alive by Lord Moria’s order? Why is the plague still spreading? Who did Layla come into contact with?”

Romiada said angrily.

“Master, this is not the time to investigate the cause.”

Luan Schroeder said, “How should we handle Miss Layla?”

Romiada fell silent.

He didn’t want the entire family to be infected because of Layla.

Leon stood beside the two and naturally heard their conversation.

“What is the Red Itch Plague?”

Leon asked.

“It’s a highly contagious plague. The church and hospitals cannot help.”

Anna said softly, “Even if the body is burned, the germs will spread in the air. Only by burying it in the ground can the disease be prevented from spreading.”

“Anyone who contracts the Red Itch Plague has been sentenced to death, Lord Leon. We also need to go to the church and receive baptism with holy water to avoid infection.”

Annie added.

A disease that neither the church nor hospitals can solve?

What a joke, this is a world of extraordinary powers with magic.

Is it that the church doesn’t want to intervene in these matters? Otherwise, how could the church’s holy water grant immunity to diseases?

“Let Layla suffer a little less.”

Romiada said with a heavy heart. Although he thought his youngest daughter Layla had no talent, she was still his cutest youngest daughter. Making this decision was very difficult for Romiada.

Lady Emily, who had rushed over, heard Romiada’s words, rolled her eyes, and fainted. She was helped back to her room by a maid.

Bella’s face was also pale with fear. If not for the support of her personal maid, she might have fainted like Lady Emily.

Miss Sully frowned and asked Romiada,

“Father, what happened to Layla?”

“The Red Itch Plague.”

Romiada said in a low voice.

“The Red Itch Plague? Oh? I already told her not to stay with those low-status commoners, but she wouldn’t listen. She actually got infected with the plague.”

Sully showed a very disgusted expression.

“Low-status commoners? Who lured Layla?”

Romiada asked angrily.

“Father, I don’t know. I only know that she went to the outer city for several hours every day. She must have been mixing with those dirty commoners for this to happen. What do you plan to do now?”

Bella’s expression became more panicked upon hearing Sully’s words. She wanted to say something, but lacked enough courage and stopped herself mid-sentence.

Romiada looked at his two daughters with difficulty. He didn’t want to tell them his decision, fearing they would oppose him or faint from fear like Lady Emily.

Seeing her father’s silence, Sully couldn’t help but speak,

“Father, you cannot hesitate any longer. You must bury Layla alive as soon as possible. We also need to quickly go to the church for purification. If we miss the best time, we will also be infected with the plague. I don’t want to lose my life because of Layla’s foolishness, and also Lord Leon, he is here too.”

Romiada was stunned for a moment, “Sully, do you really think so?”

“Of course.”

Sully nodded heavily, “Please make up your mind.”

Bella covered her mouth, her eyes red, unable to say a word.

Romiada made up his mind again upon hearing his daughter’s words and looked at the butler, Luan Schroeder.

Luan Schroeder nodded and prepared to have the servants carry out the task, killing Layla and burying her in the ground.

It seemed this was Layla’s only fate.

Just as everyone was pronouncing Layla’s death sentence, Leon coughed twice,

“Wait.”

Luan Schroeder turned back and looked at Leon.

“Esteemed Lord, what do you wish to say?”

“Romiada, I once studied some medicine. Perhaps I can help examine Layla’s condition.”

Leon looked at Romiada, who was wearing a tall green top hat.

“Lord Leon, you cannot do that. You are the Lord. If anything happens to you, our entire Romiada family will be considered criminals.”

Romiada said seriously.

“Yes, Lord Leon, you don’t need to take the risk.”

Annie reminded him,

“If you really want to save Miss Layla, I can take Miss Layla to the priest’s room in the church. If the priest infects himself, he will definitely find a way to cure himself.”

Do you have a grudge against the priest, or is Miss Layla your enemy?

Leon rubbed his forehead, turned around, and looked at Romiada,

“Please trust me, I will not gamble with my own life.”

“If Lord Leon has an accident, the entire Romiada family will be buried with him, so Lord Romiada, you don’t need to worry excessively.”

Anna said with a smile.

Romiada shrunk his already not-so-long neck. He suddenly felt threatened.

“Anna, don’t scare Romiada. Please trust my medical skills. I once studied under Mr. Pinocchio.”

Leon said.

“Who is Mr. Pinocchio?”

Romiada couldn’t help but ask.

A liar.

“A wandering divine physician. Please rest assured and leave it to me.”

Leon finally persuaded Romiada and entered Layla’s room alone.

Layla was tied to the bed with ropes and couldn’t move. Her small face was filled with fear and pain.

“Don’t kill me, please, don’t kill me. I didn’t get infected on purpose. I don’t want to die.”

She already knew she had the plague and believed she would definitely be abandoned, just like the commoners who had been infected before. She would be buried alive in the ground, her body covered with maggots. This image, just thinking about it, filled Layla with terror.

“Miss Layla, don’t worry. Let me examine you first.”

Where is your red entry hidden?
