Miss Witch, it's time to clean up the entries

Chapter 333 The Moria Family Spy
"Angelina, why isn't Uncle Aeneas here?"

"Dad has been too busy lately, but he said he'll come in a couple of days."

"Then he must bring me a gift. I love Frost Collar ice cream the most."

"Diane, you're still the same as before, only thinking about food."

Diane, arm in arm with Sophie, kept asking those around her for gifts, her conversation revolving around food. Angelina and the other sisters could only promise to bring her something delicious next time they visited.

Aunt Kelly took Li En for a walk around the banquet hall, introducing him to Moria's key members. She wasn't worried that his older siblings wouldn't recognize Li En, but rather that Li En wouldn't recognize his relatives.

Li En followed her anxiously the whole way, afraid that she would ask about her brother Austin.

What you fear most often comes to pass; Kelly finally discovered the problem.

"You've all left the rift? What about the others?"

Kelly remembered that her brother Austin had also participated in this internal family competition. Austin's talent for cultivation was among the best of his brothers. Thanks to being a child born to Grand Duke Moria in his later years, Austin was a four-star knight from birth and reached the peak of six stars at the age of 37. His journey was incredibly smooth, and he could be said to be even luckier than Leam and Tarica, who had worked hard to cultivate.

If everyone leaves the rift, Austin will surely come out too; he can't just sit idly by and watch the North be in crisis.

“Aunt Kelly, everyone else has tragically perished in the rift. We have gathered all our surviving relatives and we are leaving the rift together.”

Field took the initiative to answer Kelly's question.

He really enjoyed these family gatherings, especially being with Lee En, and being introduced to other people by Kelly.

He liked the lively and cheerful Aunt Kelly. Although he was an illegitimate child and this was the first time he had met Aunt Kelly, she did not deliberately ignore or neglect him because of the difference between him and Li En. There was no contempt in her eyes, which reminded him of his Uncle Gaia.

Uncle Gaia also participated in this grand event, surrounded by many illegitimate children of the Moria family. They only felt safe when they were with Gaia.

Kelly was stunned for a moment, then looked at Li En, who lowered his head and remained silent, which proved that what Field said was true.

In other words, his brother Austin and everyone else who didn't attend the banquet, except for those taken away by Grand Duke Moria, all died in the rift.

Upon hearing this news, not only Kelly, but also all the Moria people around her showed grief.

At first, they couldn't believe their loved ones had passed away, but after a brief period of doubt, most of them accepted the fact.

Everyone in the North knew about the danger of the rift.

Knights below four stars don't even qualify to enter the rift.

“The crack is too dangerous. I warned Lister long ago not to go in, but he just wouldn’t listen.”

Lister's mother was Kelly's older sister, Vicky, Vicky said, crying.

"Auston, is he really dead? He was a six-star knight, how could he die in the rift? How did he die?"

Kelly murmured to herself that she and Austin had always had a good relationship.

Field seemed to realize something was wrong. It seemed that Kelly and Austin had a good relationship, and he had witnessed the whole thing, including Austin's murder.

Not only him, but also the adventurers who traveled with him, everyone knew that Austin was killed by Li En.

Even if Field wanted to help Lee keep it a secret, it would still be revealed if Kelly asked others.

Just as Field was lost in his own thoughts, he heard Lee apologize to Kelly, Vicky, and the others.

“I’m sorry, Aunt. I failed to protect them. Uncle Austin was mutated into a monster by the cursed spider and was killed by me. Cousin Lister was killed by his mutated wife because he wouldn’t listen to advice. I’m sorry, my abilities were limited and I couldn’t save them in time.”

Kelly and Vicky were stunned. They looked at Li En, unsure of what to say.

"If it weren't for Li En, we might all have died in the crevice."

Isaac said.

"I was also rescued by Li En."

Hamilton said, "I will never forget that terrible spider queen. My companions were all parasitized and mutated, turning into quite terrifying monsters."

"It was Li En who led everyone to successfully escape the rift; he saved us."

Brown and Stowe spoke in unison.

The descendants of the Moria family are all trying to clear Li En's name.

Kelly also understands Lee En; he won't kill innocent people indiscriminately.

So, perhaps, as he said, his brother was mutated after being parasitized, and Li En had no choice but to kill him.

“Silly child, you didn’t kill your Uncle Auster. Your uncle died at the hands of the monster. You just didn’t have time to save him.”

Kelly wiped away her tears and said.

She couldn't let Lee Eun lose her inheritance rights because of her brother's death.

The Moria family rules stipulate that anyone who kills a relative cannot become the rightful heir and may even be expelled from the family.

Li En paused for a moment, then hugged Aunt Kelly again. "I'm sorry, Aunt."

“It’s alright, Li En. Your aunt will always believe that you will never do anything to harm the family.”

Kelly said.

At this moment, the host of the banquet, the lord of the Nightfall Territory, and the acting governor of the North, Leam Moria, rang his wine glass, attracting everyone's attention.

He walked over to Li En and addressed the crowd.
"Today, we celebrate the Nightfall Territory becoming a holy city because our royal capital, Nightfall Territory, has suffered an unprecedented disaster, a plague caused by the Frank family's conspiracy. And the one who saved us from this disaster is standing right beside me. I believe everyone is familiar with his name. He is Lien Moria, the chosen one of the gods of Tiger."

Leam Moria's voice was loud and clear, resounding with conviction.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone applauded.

Kelly released her hand, and Lee En nodded slightly in acknowledgment to the crowd.

Leam Moria continued,

"Today's grand ceremony is not only to celebrate the new life of the Nightfall Territory, but also to welcome the chosen one, Li En. Now, let's ask him to say a few words to us."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li En slowly began to speak.
“I am Lien Moria, grandson of Duke Alex, son of Jack, and a chosen one of the God Tiger. Most of you here are my relatives, but this is the first time you have met me. Just three days ago, I had the honor of meeting the God Tiger.”

Upon hearing that Li En had indeed seen the God of Tiger, everyone held their breath and strained their ears. The noisy banquet hall fell silent, and only Li En's voice could be heard.

They were all waiting for Li En to continue, waiting for him to convey the divine message of the god Tiger.

They believed that the holy light that shone three days ago must have been related to the meeting between Li En and the god Tiger.

That holy light illuminated the darkness of the North and drove away the monsters behind the Northern Wall.

This is also why Tarica was able to attend the banquet today; he could finally give himself a short break and set foot in the Rinya Territory, which he hadn't returned to for 15 years.

"The great god Tiger has issued a divine decree. Every witch is a child of the god. Let the North open its gates to witches. From now on, treat every witch as you would any citizen of the North. Witches will join us in thwarting the Empire's plot and will become the North's most reliable allies."

As Li En spoke, he brought Sophie and Aislie into everyone's view.

"Let us be friends with the witch! The North will never betray its friends!" As Li En shouted, the young descendants of Moria echoed his cry.
"Let us be friends with the witch, for the North will never betray its friends!"

The Moria family retainers repeated, "Let us be friends with the witch; the North will never betray its friends!"

Then came the knights and many others, who let out a unified shout.

"Let us be friends with the witch, for the North will never betray its friends!"

Sophie's expression was calm, but Li En knew that she was just not good at expressing herself, and that she must also want to be accepted.

Aislie's eyes reddened slightly. She was very grateful to Li En for helping more people accept witches.

From now on, witches who flee to the North will never be driven out of the North.

Throughout the entire process, Li En never mentioned finding the Moria family traitor.

After the speech, some people began to grieve for their lost loved ones, while others revelled and celebrated.

Under Leam Moria's arrangement, Li En met with every Moria.

The Morias all wanted the blessing of the God-chosen One, and in their view, Li En's current status as a God-chosen One was superior to that of Moria's offspring.

Under the guise of offering blessings, Li En checked every entry about Moria, from the ninety-year-old family elders to one-year-old babies.

Unfortunately, no spies were found among this group.

Besides Moria's own family, Li En also examined all the twelve families loyal to Moria and those who attended the banquet, but still couldn't find any spies among them.

People generally believe that Li En, the chosen one, is approachable, generous, and kind, willing to bestow noble blessings upon everyone.

They were very grateful to Li En.

Apart from Aunt Kelly, who was feeling down, and the parents who had lost immediate family members, most people at the party had a good time.

The banquet celebrating the new life of Rinya lasted for three days.

Lee En finally found the traitor who sold information to the Frank family.

No one expected that this traitor was actually Aeneas Moria, the lord of Frost Territory, and Angelina's father.

He arrived at Lin Ye's residence on the last day of the banquet, citing his busy schedule with official duties.

Aeneas Moria was a middle-aged nobleman who looked quite similar to Leam Moria, with three or four parts resembling Grand Duke Moria in his features.

He was about the same age as Lyam Moria and was the son of Grand Duke Moria's first wife when he was young, so he had always been mediocre in talent.

Even so, Grand Duke Moria still made him the lord of Frostlands.

When Aeneas Moria was invited alone to a secret room by Lyon, he didn't understand what was going on.

“Uncle Aeneas, Angelina is a good girl. Although she made some mistakes in the past, she corrected them in time.”

Li En picked up the coffee on the table, took a slow sip, and said.

"Angelina is indeed a good girl."

Aeneas Moria thought that Lyon wanted to talk to him about his daughter.

After Angelina returned to his side, she expressed more than once that she did not want to get married and wanted to stay with her parents forever.

Aeneas Moria suspected at the time that Angelina might have someone else in her heart.

After some subtle questioning, it was finally discovered that Angelina's crush was actually her cousin, Lyon Moria.

Intermarriage is forbidden within the Moria family, even though many nobles like to do so and prefer to strengthen family ties through marriage.

However, Grand Duke Moria had strictly forbidden this practice within his family in order to avoid children suffering from illness or premature death.

Aeneas Moria, however, didn't think it mattered. If Angelina and Li En could really get together, it would solidify his position in the family.

"Since you know she's a good girl, Uncle Aeneas, why did you do this? Do you want her to lose her father?"

Li En abruptly changed the subject, his gaze shifting from leisurely stroll to sharp intimacy.

At that moment, Aeneas Moria felt as if he were being stared at by a wild beast, and a chill ran down his spine.

Aeneas Moria hadn't felt this sense of danger in a long time.

"What do you mean?"

Aeneas Moria countered with a question to Li En.

"Uncle Aeneas, why did you betray the Moria family, join the Frank family, and tell the Institute of Wise Men about the Rift?"

Li En questioned.

Aeneas Moria was slightly taken aback, not expecting that he had been exposed.

He was clearly meeting Li En for the first time, and the puppet was delivered through very secretive means, changing hands several times, making it virtually impossible to trace back to him.

“Li En, what are you talking about? I don’t understand. How could I betray my family and side with Frank?”

Aeneas Moria decided to deny it to the bitter end, believing that Lyon could not produce any evidence.

“Uncle Aeneas, I am a chosen one of the gods. I can see the truths that none of you can see. You don’t need to argue with me. The moment I first saw you, I already saw the treachery you had committed.”

Li En said slowly.

Aeneas Moriah did not believe that anyone could see into the past and the future without a gift or a divine eye.

However, all the gifts had already been taken by Randall, and the Eye of God had long since become a tool of the House of Wise Men.

Therefore, Li En's statement could only be a self-deception.

He wanted to force himself to comply and admit to the betrayal.

“My Lord, you must be mistaken. I have not betrayed my family.”

Aeneas Moria said with unwavering conviction.

"Uncle Aeneas, you only married one wife in your life, Angelina's mother. You never had a lover and swore to be loyal to your lover forever. In a sense, you were a good husband."

"At least most people think so, that you are a rare romantic in the Moria family. But in reality, it's all because of your mother. Your mother was your grandfather's first wife. She only had two children in her life, your sister who died young and you. Because of your grandfather's philandering, your mother died in sorrow, which made you hate your grandfather and the Moria family."

“You hoped to gain more within the family and become the Lord of the North, but your talent was too poor. Even so, your grandfather still made you the Lord of Frost Territory, but you were still not satisfied.”

"You gave the information you discovered from the rift to the Frank family and the Institute of Wise Men in exchange for a puppet."

"This puppet is now hiding next to Grandpa, ready to assassinate him at any time."

"Once Grandpa dies, with the support of the Frank family, you can work together from the inside to completely eliminate all Morias of your lineage. You can then become the agent of the North, even if it means being the Frank family's dog."
