Miss Witch, It's Time to Clean Up the Entries - Chapter 47

The carriage suddenly quieted down.

Sophie’s and Annie’s gazes also followed Anna and focused on Leon.

Leon rubbed his throbbing temples, “It’s just part of the clearing. You have experienced clearing too, you should understand, right?”

“Of course.”

After getting a satisfied answer, Anna withdrew her gentle gaze.

Sophie and Annie also each looked towards other places.

“When Catherine officially returns to Blue Moon Territory and becomes Lord, we will hold the wedding.”

Therefore, your time to confess your feelings is not much. Hurry up, otherwise I will be a married man.

Leon added inwardly.

After the three heard this, they had no significant reaction.

Sophie looked at her fish tank, extended a finger, and poked the little black tadpole.

Annie took the dagger from her thigh and wiped it with a silk scarf.

Anna opened a thick book and began reading intently.

Silence returned to the carriage compartment.

This reaction made Leon very disappointed. It seemed his charm was not as powerful as reflected in the mirror.

“Lord Leon.”

Anna suddenly raised her head and looked at Leon.

Leon looked at Anna with bright eyes, “Mm?”

“This matter still needs to be reported to the three ministers.”

“Of course, I will tell them.”

Leon had no experience holding a wedding. These matters would ultimately have to be handled by the three ministers.

Furthermore, Catherine was the future Lord of Blue Moon Territory. A marriage between Lords was also a significant event.

Leon said, “Are there any other matters?”

“Miss Layla has not seen you for three consecutive days. She wants to know when you will have time to personally teach her.”

Anna said.

“Bill is my teacher. Having my teacher teach her, she is already profiting; truly a greedy little girl. Let her learn properly on her own.”

Leon shrugged his shoulders and continued leaning back in the carriage to rest.

“Tonight’s invitation from the nobles, are you still going?”

Anna continued to ask. The nobles who deposited money in the bank were still looking forward to Leon personally visiting for family banquets, using this opportunity to have the female members of their families meet Leon for potential marriage.

But presumably, such requests would not last too long, because the news of the Lord’s engagement to Miss Catherine would soon spread.

Just as they did not hesitate to welcome the carriage bearing the symbol of Blue Moon Territory back into the inner city; this was a setup.

“During this period, the entire territory is checking for and treating the plague. Do they still have the mood for family banquets?”

Leon raised his eyebrows and asked.

“That is because you possess the special ability to cure the plague. Therefore, being able to invite you holds additional significance, making the nobles feel more secure.”

Anna explained with a smile.

“So that’s how it is. Which one is it tonight?”

“It’s Viscount Jamel’s family. Jamel is only 30 years old this year, and his daughter is only 12. He probably wants to introduce his sister Huina to you.”

Anna said.

Leon’s original intention was to visit each noble family one by one and expose all the spies hidden among the nobles, but now he had changed his mind. This method was inefficient and not precise enough.

Because the spies could very well not be the nobles’ mistresses or children, but servants, and servants were unlikely to appear at every banquet.

He had a new idea in mind. He would use this plague as an opportunity to have everyone come to the Lord’s Mansion for entry detection.

And those who possessed the 【Spy】 entry would definitely not dare to accept the detection.

At that time, by having the Head of Internal Affairs compare the household registration data with the list of people who accepted the detection, the 【Spies】 could be filtered out.

“Tell Viscount Jamel that I am temporarily unavailable. I will fulfill my agreement after the plague incident in Green Shade Territory concludes.”

“Alright, Lord Leon.”

The carriage passed through the high wall and entered the outer city of Green Shade Territory.

The commoners saw it was the Lord’s carriage and stopped to watch, sending out enthusiastic cheers.

Now Leon’s image in their minds had changed from ‘the strange Lord who held parties on the high wall’ to ‘the great Lord with miraculous medical skills’.

“Lord Leon, it’s Lord Leon’s carriage!”

“Lord Leon, thank you, thank you for having the church give us holy water.”

“Lord Leon, these are fresh flowers, for you.”

“Lord Leon, please accept these fruits, they are all grown by ourselves.”

“Lord Leon, the freshest deer leg meat, for you.”

The commoners of the outer city enthusiastically presented various gifts. The guards who were originally escorting the carriage for safety became free laborers.

Holding these gifts, their hearts were filled with pride.

This was the Lord Leon whom they escorted and followed, the extremely popular Lord of Green Shade Territory.

The Blue Moon Territory carriage following behind also received enthusiastic attention from the commoners because of this.

They curiously observed the people inside the carriage.

The people inside the carriage also curiously observed them.

“Miss Catherine, Lord Leon is truly popular.”

Mina exclaimed in surprise.

Catherine’s gaze swept over the commoners, and she said softly,

“The people here live happier lives than those in Blue Moon Territory.”

“I clearly remember seeing in the newspaper that Green Shade Territory was already one of the three major poor territories, owing a huge debt to the Imperial Bank. Why can the people here live so well?”

Mina’s face was full of confusion and incomprehension. Blue Moon Territory’s annual tax revenue was clearly ten times that of Green Shade Territory, and it was even selected as one of the wealthiest lord-counties, but the commoners of Blue Moon Territory could not compare at all to the commoners of Green Shade Territory.

“Mina, everything needs to be felt with your own eyes.”

Catherine said. Mina nodded obediently.

Knight Kage Mori lowered his head and wiped his sword, “If only we also had someone like Lord Leon who can cure the plague, perhaps Blue Moon Territory would not have been destroyed.”

“One Lord Leon cannot prevent the destruction of Blue Moon Territory.”

Catherine said calmly, “That was a conspiracy planned by Mary Frank long ago; it was a cruel war.”

“Miss Catherine, you don’t need to bear so much, actually. You already have a home now. Why not let go of your hatred and live a carefree life like these people?”

Knight Kage Mori put his sword back into his waist and sat upright, looking at Catherine.

He knew that before Blue Moon Territory was destroyed, Catherine had also been kept in the high tower all along, completely unlike a noble young lady.

And now, Blue Moon Territory was destroyed. Catherine had survived with great difficulty. Why should she bear the heavy responsibility of revenge?

This was not fair to Catherine.

If Catherine were his daughter, Knight Kage Mori would absolutely not let her become the new Lord. He would only let her stay away from there forever and seek a new life of her own.

Catherine turned her face and looked at the happy commoners outside the window. A young mother held her child, leaning against her husband. An adult son supported his aging mother basking in the sun. Young girls walked through the streets and alleys with flowers in their hands. Children were running carefree. This was perhaps the ordinary life she had once most yearned for.

If she had also been born in Green Shade Territory, would the situation have been different?
