Miss Witch, It's Time to Clean Up the Entries - Chapter 27

Layla, with baby fat on her face and a sweet and cute appearance, was bound to the bed, unable to move her hands or feet. Only her head could barely be lifted.

“What, what are you going to do?”

“You can’t touch me, ah, you’ll get the plague too.”

“Not here!”

“Ah—”

Listening to Layla’s screams, Romiada’s expression at the door gradually became strange.

Also listening intently was the butler, Luan Schroeder.

His expression also became peculiar.

The two old men exchanged glances, then quickly averted their eyes. They didn’t want to discuss this matter.

But they couldn’t stop the gossipy women beside them.

Lady Romiada was the first to stomp her foot,

“What is Lord Leon doing? He’s not doing that kind of thing with Layla, is he? He will kill us all.”

“Layla, that shameless girl, still trying to seduce the Lord at a time like this. If I wasn’t afraid of dying, I’d really go in there and tear her mouth apart.”

Romiada’s proud eldest daughter, Sully, said in a low voice. She was clearly very jealous, probably because Leon’s appearance had made her fall in love at first sight.

“Sister, don’t talk about Layla like that, she is our sweet little sister. But this Lord, how can he do such a thing to Layla? Layla is still a child. Father, please go in and stop him. At least let Layla die a more dignified death.”

Bella, who had imagined Layla being violated, said with a trembling body.

“Yes, Father, if this gets out, our family’s reputation will be ruined.”

Byramiada, the eldest son, said.

The second son also echoed, “Yes, not only will our reputation be ruined, but if the Lord gets sick from this, we will also be responsible for his death and become criminals of Green Shade Territory.”

Romiada looked at his most favored mistress, Lady Vanessa,

“Vanessa, what should I do now?”

“Oh, my dear, I think we should go to the church now and receive baptism with holy water. We shouldn’t continue eavesdropping on the Lord’s treatment method here. This is a lack of trust in the Lord.”

Lady Vanessa only wanted to live. She completely didn’t care what Layla was going through.

Her reminder also made Lady Romiada and the others realize the key issue.

Yes, wasn’t staying alive more important than family reputation?

Besides, as long as they didn’t tell anyone, who would know?

“Yes, dear Vanessa, you are right. We should trust the Lord.”

As Romiada spoke, he had the butler, Luan Schroeder, arrange for a carriage.

Their entire family was going to the nearby Holy Church for a holy water baptism.

Soon, only Anna and Annie were left guarding Layla’s door. The servants of Romiada’s mansion also didn’t want to die. Seeing their master leave in the carriage, they also rushed to the church, hoping to get some holy water.

This made the lively mansion instantly empty, as if it had merged into the deep night.

Only the intense sounds from Miss Layla’s room declared that the mansion was still alive.

“Won’t her throat get tired?”

Annie asked expressionlessly.

“Her voice is as beautiful as a nightingale’s, like a nightingale singing. Perhaps Lord Leon likes this kind of singing, which is why he hasn’t come out.”

Anna’s face showed a smile.

“Please do not casually slander your upright boss. I was not at all indulging in it.”

Leon pushed open the door and walked out, “Anna, help Miss Layla get dressed. Annie, prepare the carriage. We need to go somewhere.”

Anna walked into Layla’s room. Layla’s clothes were disheveled, and her small face was covered in tears.

“Wuwuwu, wuwuwu, Lord Leon… Lord Leon…”

“Lord Leon attacked you?”

Anna asked.

Layla shook her head, “He, he, he put his hand into…”

Layla found it hard to say, “He will get infected too.”

“No, Miss Layla. Look at the red rash on your body, has it all disappeared?”

Anna reminded her. Only then did Layla notice that the terrifying red rash on her body had disappeared, and her skin was no longer itching.

“Was it, was it Lord Leon, he saved me?”

Layla raised her small face and looked at Anna in a dazed manner.

Anna nodded and helped her get dressed, “This is Lord Leon’s unique method of treatment. Please keep it a secret for him.”

“Mm-hmm.”

Layla nodded seriously. She was also too embarrassed to talk about this treatment method.

“You were saved by Lord Leon. Do you know what you should do?”

Anna gently guided her.

“I should thank Lord Leon. I will ask my father to prepare a lot of gold and silver jewelry and give it to Lord Leon.”

Layla said.

“Can that gold and silver jewelry buy back your life? Your father and mother had just decided to bury you alive. It was Lord Leon who pleaded for you and voluntarily sacrificed himself to save you.”

Anna said gently, “Do you really think money can offset Lord Leon’s kindness?”

“I… I, I’m sorry.”

Layla lowered her head, her face flushed with shame, “Then what should I do?”

“Pledge your loyalty to Lord Leon.”

Anna said.

“Loyalty?”

Layla looked at Anna, half-understanding.

Because she was indeed too young and inexperienced, she was quickly beguiled by Anna’s subsequent words.

“Lord Leon says you are very talented. Whether in swordsmanship, medicine, or shooting, as long as you study diligently, you will achieve something. He has decided to personally mentor you.”

“I… I am very talented?”

Layla’s eyes lit up.

In all these years, no one had ever said she was talented.

She couldn’t sing, dance, paint, arrange flowers, socialize, or even learn grammar well. In her father and mother’s eyes, she was a useless little waste. It was the first time she had heard anyone say she was talented.

“So, are you willing to be loyal to such a man who appreciates your talent and risked his own safety for you?”

Anna asked.

Layla nodded heavily, “I am willing! I will pledge my loyalty to Lord Leon! I will become his knight.”

Layla seemed to have found the meaning of life again.

At this moment, the man whom Layla said she would be loyal to was waiting for the carriage at the door.

While waiting for the carriage, he checked the entry points he had just gained.

【Entry Points +100】

Huh? How is it getting less and less? He had cleared a carrier of the plague, and only got 100 points!

It seemed Layla’s infection wasn’t very deep. He needed to find the real source of the plague in Green Shade Territory to get a high score!

The greater the impact, the more points.

Annie had the coachman bring the carriage over. Leon, Anna, and Layla got into the carriage together.

Leon was surprised to find that Layla had an extra entry above her head.

【Heart of Loyalty】.

Just moments ago, when he walked out of the room, she was crying like Lin Daiyu, as if she had suffered a great loss.

How did she suddenly become loyal to him now?

[Translator’s Note: Lin Daiyu is a famous character from the classic Chinese novel “Dream of the Red Chamber,” known for her delicate health and tendency to cry easily.]
