Miss Witch, It's Time to Clean Up the Entries - Chapter 48

Two carriages slowly passed through the 15-meter-high inner wall, heading towards the wide main street of the inner city. The inner city was more prosperous than the outer city, with brightly colored buildings sparkling in the afterglow of the setting sun, as if immersed in a beautiful painting in the sunset.

On the wide street, magnificent carriages were everywhere, as were elegant gentlemen and well-dressed noble ladies.

On the balcony of a villa across the street, an old man wearing a semi-tall silk top hat was leisurely drinking coffee and reading a newspaper. The newspaper contained news about the destruction of Blue Moon Territory caused by the Plague Witch losing control. This news had occupied newspaper space for a while. Although the length was continuously decreasing, it was front-page news at first, and now it had become a small piece.

But it still caused the old man to be highly cautious, because he saw a carriage with the Blue Moon Territory symbol on the street. He first suspected his eyes were mistaken. After repeatedly wiping his reading glasses, he confirmed the blue moon mark on the carriage.

The coffee in his hand dropped to the ground. His eyes were filled with shock. As if the disaster recorded in the newspaper was about to become reality in Green Shade Territory.

Besides this old gentleman, pedestrians on the street also showed surprised expressions.

“Oh God, how could Lord Leon bring people from Blue Moon Territory to the inner city?”

“How could Lord Leon do this? This is completely disregarding our safety.”

“Yes, I can’t believe Lord Leon would do this. This is the inner city! This is where we nobles live.”

“I heard Lord Leon has been treating those Blue Moon Territory refugees outside the high wall recently. I can’t believe he’s brought refugees to the inner city now. Oh, I feel like the air around here is polluted.”

“Why isn’t Lord Leon doing anything proper? What’s the benefit of saving those refugees?”

“The refugees from Blue Moon Territory are all sources of plague infection. How can they appear in the inner city? They should be sent to be buried alive.”

“Yes, they should be buried alive.”

The nobles were not grateful to Leon. Instead, they were dissatisfied and panicked because the Blue Moon Territory carriage suddenly appeared in the inner city. Some even directly shouted, “Refugees, get out!”

Listening to their reckless remarks, Mina clenched her fists.

“How can they be like this? You are from the Jackson family, not a refugee at all.”

Mina bit her lip, wanting very much to open the carriage door and argue with these people. They were once also people of high status.

Catherine, however, sat in the carriage calmly, as if she was already used to it.

“Miss Catherine, aren’t you angry?”

Mina’s cheeks turned red with anger.

“Mina, don’t waste your emotions on meaningless things. If you can’t bear this little bit of grievance, don’t follow me in the future.”

Catherine seemed to have anticipated such a situation long ago. Her tone was very calm, without any emotion.

“I’m… I’m sorry, Miss Catherine, I just feel wronged for you, for you.”

Mina’s eyes instantly turned red. She lowered her head.

“Mina, don’t worry. Lord Leon will handle it.”

Catherine reached out and wiped away Mina’s tears, comforting her, “Since you chose to follow him into Green Shade Territory, you should trust him.”

At this moment, inside the luxurious carriage in front.

Anna lifted the curtain for Leon and said gently, “Lord Leon, your subjects don’t seem to welcome people from Blue Moon Territory very much.”

“You are too lenient with them. In Rose Territory, this situation would never occur. No one dares to say no to Lady Mary.”

Annie said, touching the dagger on her thigh, as if she was ready to act at any moment to discipline these arrogant nobles who didn’t know how to respect the Lord.

“At this moment, if Miss Sophie were to use ice magic, it should be able to silence this noisy group.”

“Sophie is a guardian, not my killer.”

As soon as Leon finished speaking, he saw Sophie, who was about to get out of the carriage, quietly step back. She obediently touched her fish tank, looking innocently at the little tadpole swimming in the water.

“Sophie… you weren’t really thinking of using ice magic just now, were you?”

Sophie did not speak. She turned around, her back to Leon. She put her finger into the fish tank and poked the little black tadpole, avoiding answering Leon’s question.

Leon wiped the sweat from his forehead, adjusted his lapel, and got out of the carriage. Guards escorted him.

When the nobles saw the Lord come out, their discussions abruptly stopped. However, their faces still showed displeasure.

“Everyone, you’ve misunderstood. The people in the carriage are not refugees, but nobles from Blue Moon Territory, the Jackson family. They were once one of the wealthiest families in the kingdom.”

“The Jackson family?”

The nobles looked at each other in surprise and started discussing again.

“Didn’t the entire Jackson family already die in Blue Moon Territory?”

“Did someone actually escape?”

“Even if they were once nobles, they now have nothing. How are they different from refugees?”

“Ahem.”

Leon coughed twice, interrupting their conversation. Everyone’s gaze focused on him. A smile appeared on his face,

“Blue Moon Territory has not perished. The plague will end in a month. The church will send people to purify the land of Blue Moon Territory, making it suitable for living again. The wealth belonging to the Jackson family will not decrease in the slightest. Blue Moon Territory’s land, mines, and gold and silver still belong to the Jackson family. Therefore, everyone, please be mindful of your words and actions, and show the refined manners of Green Shade Territory’s nobles.”

Due to the effect of the 【Master of Deception】 entry, combined with the blessing of the 【Lord】 entry, everyone was 100% convinced that Leon was telling the truth.

They felt ashamed and remorseful for their previous slander and began to apologize one after another.

“We’re sorry, we didn’t know these were people from the Jackson family.”

“Yes, there’s no Jackson family emblem on the carriage either. We apologize for our earlier rudeness.”

“Since they are nobles, of course they are qualified to live in the inner city.”

In the Blue Moon Territory carriage, Mina grinned from ear to ear, holding Catherine’s hand, “Miss Catherine, you are truly smart. Did you anticipate that Lord Leon would speak up for us?”

“Yes, if he is going to marry me, he wouldn’t allow others to call his fiancée a refugee.”

A faint smile also appeared on Catherine’s face.

“It seems Lord Leon has many virtues besides being philandering.”

Mina praised him.

Catherine nodded and looked out the window. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on Leon, coloring his golden short hair and cheeks red. He looked like a rising sun, shining light little by little into Catherine’s lonely heart.

Although she knew she could not have such feelings, she still could not suppress the accelerating beat of her heart. When Leon looked back, she sensitively averted her gaze.

Only when Leon sat back in the carriage did Catherine breathe a sigh of relief.

A faint, almost imperceptible smile appeared on the face of the old knight Kage Mori. This made his square face seem less serious and rigid, as if a sculpture had come to life.
