The thick-skinned Diane was ultimately not chased out by Leon. She curiously watched Leon, wondering what great treasure her brother was going to show Sophie.
Leon handed the joint signatures of the female nobles of Yalong City to Sophie, who was slightly stunned.
She didn't expect Leon to do so much for her. Of course, Leon wouldn't tell Sophie that these things were all entrusted to Parker to run errands.
Parker had been doing his best for his future sister-in-law during this period. Leon decided that he would definitely invite Parker to his and Sophie's wedding to have a drink.
"Today, we will get another key signature, and then we can submit the application materials and wait for the court hearing."
Leon looked at Sophie with a smile.
"Thank you."
Sophie said.
"We don't need to say thank you between us."
Leon rubbed Sophie's short silver hair.
"Oh, I thought it was some real treasure, but it's just Parker—"
Before Diane could say that Parker was looking for people to sign everywhere, Leon picked her up, covering her little mouth. "Diane, haven't you had breakfast yet? Let's go, brother will take you to eat something."
"Mmm~ I~ haven't finished speaking."
"Let's go."
Sophie tilted her head, watching the backs of the two, not thinking too much. She put down the document and followed them.
After breakfast, Leon secretly bribed Diane before returning her to Sophie, and then he took a carriage alone to take office at the Guardian Bureau.
Although he was just a temporary special advisor, he would occasionally go to work and check in while in the royal capital, after all, he had an extra salary in his hand.
It's just that he never stayed in the Guardian Bureau for more than a quarter of an hour each time.
He knocked on the door of Director Ophelia's office.
The secretary opened the door for Leon. Seeing Leon, the secretary was a little surprised.
"Advisor Leon, you're here really early today. The Director is having breakfast. Would you like to join her?"
"No, I've already eaten."
Leon said, walking into Ophelia's office without ceremony.
Because he was an internal staff member, Leon didn't need to make an appointment to see Ophelia, as long as the Director was available.
Ophelia's breakfast was simple: milk and croissants, and a grilled sausage.
It didn't seem like the behavior of a noble at all.
Ophelia, who had just drunk milk, still had a little white milk stain on the corner of her mouth, and was holding a section of Wickel grilled sausage in her mouth.
This scene made Leon couldn't help but recall the scene in his dream last night, it was familiar.
When Ophelia saw Leon, her cheeks flushed instantly.
She immediately put down the grilled sausage and tried to calm her accelerating heartbeat and disordered breathing.
She told herself that everything last night was just an unrealistic dream of her own, and the man in front of her had nothing to do with her.
Ophelia looked at the secretary sideways,
"Next time, without my permission, no one is allowed to come in while I'm eating."
The secretary did not refute, but felt a little strange.
The Director was a workaholic. No matter when, if subordinates wanted to find her, she would basically see them, because she was worried about missing important reports.
That's why the secretary didn't stop the special advisor Leon.
What's wrong today?
Although she had questions in her heart, the secretary nodded in response,
"Okay, Director, I will pay attention next time."
"I'm sorry to disturb your meal."
Leon gentlemanly handed out a square napkin, his eyes looking at the milk on Ophelia's lips.
When Ophelia took the napkin, her fingers touched Leon's hand. She was like a startled deer,
immediately withdrawing her hand.
The secretary, who was good at observing words and expressions, immediately prepared to withdraw from Ophelia's office, but Ophelia stopped her. She didn't dare to be alone with Leon now.
The dream last night was too real, making Ophelia still distracted and sleepless all night.
Of course, it was impossible for her to fall in love with Leon because of a dream, but it was the first time she had a close relationship with a male subordinate in a dream, making Ophelia both ashamed and a little infatuated.
Once the suppressed desires had an opening, they were like a torrent that could not be contained.
Ophelia now only wanted Leon to stay away from her sight as much as possible, and not affect her work.
Leon looked at Ophelia with a smile, and took out that document again,
"I hope you will consider signing this document for the witches, so that the witches can enjoy love normally. If you don't agree, I will come to disturb your meal every morning."
These words were equivalent to a threat to Ophelia.
Ophelia didn't want to see Leon's handsome face every day.
Men would only hinder her progress.
Leon felt that this serious ice-cold female superior was a bit interesting. She was obviously shy to the extreme, but she still had to put on a strong front in front of him, always frowning.
In addition, most of the people around Leon were young girls, and Ophelia was the only older aunt, which made him feel very fresh and couldn't help but want to tease her.
Well, Aunt Kelly's girlfriends don't count, they are all coveting his body, just like his aunt, scumbags.
"It seems you are too idle. The secretary can take you to familiarize yourself with many things in the bureau."
Ophelia did not take the document.
"Director, you should know that the witches are actually living very repressed lives, right? Why not let them enjoy the happiness of being nourished by love? Even if it's just for a short time, don't you think it's a wonderful thing?"
Leon looked into Ophelia's eyes.
The blush on Ophelia's cheeks had not faded. She remembered the unprecedented joy that Leon brought her in the dream. Although it was short, it was indeed very wonderful and could relax her mood.
At least in the dream, she felt that she was no longer under pressure.
The secretary curiously looked at the two, feeling that the way they looked at each other was different from before.
Leon took out a round-bellied fountain pen, opened the cap, and placed the pen in Ophelia's hand. During this process,
his hand touched Ophelia's hand again.
Ophelia felt an electric shock and wanted to quickly withdraw her hand, but Leon domineeringly held her hand tightly,
making her grip the pen tightly.
In this way, under Ophelia's half-hearted resistance, she signed her name on the document.
After signing, Ophelia finally broke free from Leon's hot hand.
She glanced at Leon with some resentment.
The secretary's eyes had widened.
She had never seen any man dare to touch Director Ophelia's hand, let alone force her to sign so domineeringly.
She couldn't even dream of such a scene.
You must know that the Director is a hardliner in the Frank family, and has always shown disgust towards men.
Not to mention touching the Director's fair skin, even getting a little closer, within a meter, would make the Director angry.
How did Leon Moria do it? Does this guy really know magic?
Although he is indeed very good-looking, the age gap is too big, right?
In fact, the female secretary has a son who is the same age as Leon.
So in her opinion, it is impossible for there to be any spark of love between the Director and Leon.
What is this subtle feeling then?
"Thank you, Director. I hope Director has a smooth day today."
Leon smiled as he put away the document and asked,
"Can you show me the information about the disappearance of the Time Witch, Miriam? I said I would help the Director find her together."
As a special advisor, Leon felt that he needed to fulfill his responsibilities.
But Ophelia didn't want to increase the frequency of contact with Leon.
She was worried that her moral bottom line would be impacted.
Mainly because the impression left on her last night was too deep. She still remembered every inch of Leon's body, even including the touch.
"No, you don't need to interfere in this matter. For the time being, you can focus on your own affairs for a while.
The Guardian Bureau doesn't need an advisor for the time being."
Ophelia tried to keep her expression as cold as possible.
But she also knew that this was her own reason, and she couldn't blame Leon excessively.
She only hoped to stay away from this young man who made her think wildly.
"That's really a pity. I still want to do more for the Director."
Leon looked regretful, but was happy inside. This was the effect he wanted.
Leon stood up and walked to the door of the office.
Looking at his departing back, Ophelia suddenly felt a little lost.
"Director, if you need anything, please feel free to find me."
Leon turned around, meeting Ophelia's gaze.
The handsome blond-haired and blue-eyed youth revealed a pure and innocent smile.
Ophelia felt her calm heart beating again, panicking like a little girl as she withdrew her gaze and looked at the documents on her desk, saying,
"Secretary, see the advisor out."
"Okay, okay."
The secretary, who was bewitched by Leon's smile, finally came back to her senses. She immediately followed Leon and saw him out.
The secretary finally understood why Leon didn't work in the Guardian Bureau. If such a scourge stayed in the Guardian Bureau all the time, how many innocent witches would be bewitched by him?
Ophelia walked to the windowsill and looked through the glass window, watching the secretary and Leon go downstairs until Leon boarded the carriage.
She let out a long breath. When she turned around and saw the desk, she couldn't help but think of the scene of Leon pressing her on the desk.
She could only withdraw her gaze and look elsewhere.
However, the sofa, the carpet, and even the windowsill, all had that lingering image.
Every corner of the office seemed to have the sweat of the two of them.
Last night's dream was really limitless.
Ophelia believed in herself, she would never do this in reality.
In order not to think of Leon, she decided to replace everything in the office.
"This damn unrealistic dream is really affecting people's mentality."
Ophelia picked up the document on the table and said absentmindedly.
Leon quickly submitted the prepared materials to the staff of the Legislative Court.
After the application was submitted, the court hearing could be held in three days.
Leon planned to get this matter settled before the army set off for the Azure Dragon Court.
So that Sophie could be at ease.
After leaving the Court of Justice, Leon hurried to the Catherine Manor.
Because Catherine, Sophie, and Dorothy were all in the royal capital, Leon often had to run around.
At this time, he suddenly envied the lovelorn Parker, at least his time was free.
But he was always involuntarily helping Catherine solve her worries, and also taking care of Dorothy's mood.
If he wasn't a six-star knight, he would really be unable to handle it.
"You're planning to leave the royal capital?"
Leon asked, holding his soft and glutinous fiancée Catherine. Having just experienced intimacy, Catherine was tired and satisfied,
her little face was fair and rosy, and her eyes were blurred.
"Well, I've been away from Blue Moon Territory for too long, I have to go back. Aunt and Uncle Jack will also go back with me. They decided to hold the wedding in Blue Moon Territory. If you have time, come over. If you're too busy to attend, it's okay. Uncle Jack said he can understand."
Old Jack had been married countless times, and it didn't matter whether there was a son to witness it.
And he and Catherine both knew that Leon was still busy with the empire's expedition.
As for the matter of fighting for marriage rights for the witches, they would soon see it in the newspapers.
"Since you've already decided, then go back."
Leon kissed Catherine's forehead and then put on her clothes.
He knew that Catherine couldn't let go of Blue Moon Territory.
"There may be a war in the south. If something happens to Blue Moon Territory, remember to ask Anna for help."
"Well, I know."
"Don't be reckless. Remember to tell me as soon as something happens. Let Inna bring you into my dream, I'll take care of everything."
Leon didn't know about Inna and Nancy's departure at sea, and thought that the little guy was still obediently staying in Yussufa.
Catherine nodded, "I know."
Looking at the so obedient Catherine, Leon dragged her back into the bed again, "One more time."
"Ah?"
Catherine cried out in grievance.
Leon was still too strong for her.
Compared to the young engaged couple, Old Jack and Aunt Megawati were more like spiritual partners. The two were admiring flowers in the garden, and even had a painter leave them a precious oil painting of their photo together.
The Treant of Green Shade Territory had already been delivered to the manor. Miriam had extended the time for both Old Jack and Megawati.
Facts have proved that the Treant's life is much longer than that of humans. One Treant can be divided between Megawati and Jack for 20 years each.
And these 20 years are enough for them to enjoy life.
Miriam completed her mission and bid farewell to Leon, hiding in the cracks of time. Recently, the whole country was wanted her, and she needed to hide farther away.
Although Miriam was saved by Leon, the favor was also repaid. She now just wanted to hide alone and think about how to change the fate of the witches.
At a young age, she already had the consciousness of a revolutionary army.
Leon didn't keep her either. He knew that Miriam would come to him sooner or later.
Because every time she traveled through time, she would consume a lot of magic power.
The next day, Leon sent Catherine, Old Jack, and Aunt Megawati to the train station, and gave the Invisibility Cloak to Catherine so that she could use it to avoid danger if she encountered it.
In order to ensure the safety of their journey, Leon asked Nina Owen to accompany Catherine back together.
Although Catherine was very reluctant to part with Leon, she had to go back as the lord.
"Catherine, I will miss you."
"Me too, you must take good care of yourself."
At the train station platform, the two were reluctant to part.
Li En sent Catherine off on the train. The magic train slowly started its journey, and Li En watched Catherine leave.
Catherine didn't dare look at Li En outside the window, afraid she would waver and want to stay.
Megawati wiped away Catherine's tears and said with heartache,
"Catherine, I believe you will see each other soon. Don't be sad."
"Yes, Aunt."
Catherine said strongly.
Old Jack rested his cheek on one hand, not knowing what he was thinking.
Nina Owen was in a good mood because she had retrieved her own Gift, the Schism Seal, so she didn't put on an expression that everyone else was garbage.
"I'm going to be separated from my great master again. Without me, he will definitely miss me,"
Nina Owen muttered to herself.
"I always feel like you look familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen you before."
Old Jack stroked his chin.
Nina Owen turned her face away. She didn't want Jack Moria to have seen her when she was Duke Giles.
The two had even gone to the Red Theater together.
This damned karma should be severed as soon as possible.
Megawati twisted Jack's ear. "Does every beauty look familiar to you?"
"Darling, let me explain."—
The cold wind outside the train took away these fragmented words.
Li En strode away from the train station.
Two days later, Li En stood in the Supreme Court of Law with his new identity as Simon Moria.
Ophelia, the Director of the Guardian Bureau, was also invited to attend and became a member of the jury.
Ophelia hadn't dreamed of Li En during this time and had gradually regained her working state, but seeing this handsome young lord again, the erotic memories in her mind resurfaced, causing her to be absent-minded and wanting to leave as soon as possible.
This kind of thing was absolutely unspeakable for Ophelia.
Ophelia could only try not to look at Li En, turning her gaze elsewhere and constantly drinking water to relieve her dry mouth.
Fia, Sophie, Cameron, Ellie, and Dorothy naturally wouldn't miss this court session.
For Dorothy, if the "Witch Covenant" was successfully amended after this court session, the impact would be no less than a witch revolution.
Because it meant that witches had moved from being tools to civilians, possessing the same rights as civilians.
Although the official propaganda touted that witches possessed many privileges, Dorothy knew that the essence of artificial witches was national weapons, tools.
The empire's higher-ups had never regarded witches as normal residents, while normal residents enjoyed the protection of witches while also fearing their power.
Witches were just nominal nobles, pitiful bugs who couldn't control their own destiny.
Freedom of love and marriage was the first step for witches to perfect their personalities and achieve freedom.
Dorothy valued this very much and strongly supported it.
She had already planned to record everything that happened today in the "Witch Apocalypse."
Sophie's cold palms were sweating. Although there was no expression on her face, she was actually very nervous.
It was as if it wasn't Li En standing on the council seat, but herself.
Although Cameron and Ellie were witches, they didn't feel much involvement and were purely there to cheer on their president.
Fia pushed up her glasses, staring intently at Li En.
In fact, debate and appeal were Fia's comfort zone. She didn't understand why Li En wouldn't let her help and insisted on doing it himself.
Even so, she had found a lot of information for Li En to support his arguments.
And Li En, standing on the council seat, had to face the old judges of the Holy Empire's highest legislative body alone. The judge team consisted of 30 people, and Li En needed to persuade everyone to amend the "Witch Covenant."
Concerning witches, this was considered a top priority for the empire. Even Emperor Augulas and Pope Randall took the time to listen.
Although Randall didn't have a pair of divine eyes that could see through entries,
he could sense from Li En's aura that he had been promoted from a Silver Believer to a Special Believer, and also possessed a bit of divinity.
People with divinity and people without divinity were completely different in Randall's eyes.
The former's body seemed to have a layer of silver light, while the latter did not.
This was also why Randall was able to know that Mary had lost her divinity immediately.
Randall narrowed his eyes, and his heart became more wary of Li En.
If he was allowed to continue to grow, he was afraid that the position of Pope would sooner or later be his.
The chief judge of the judge team was an old man with white wig, glasses, and a face full of ravines. He tapped the council hammer and announced the start of the council.
Another slightly younger judge was responsible for reading Article 31 of the "Witch Covenant."
"Article 31 of the Holy Empire Witch Covenant stipulates that, based on the particularity of the witch group, witches cannot be in love or married..."
After reading it, the slightly younger judge looked at Li En,
"Appellant Simon Moria wants to reject Article 31 of the Witch Covenant."
As soon as these words came out, the judges on the judge team with white wigs began to discuss.
"This covenant has existed for more than 500 years. Its existence proves its rationality. Witches do not need love and marriage."
"Witches are not ordinary people. Guarding the high walls is the mission of witches. Witches should not have private emotions."
"Simon Moria, you are provoking the empire's legislative authority!"
The judges scoffed at Li En's proposal.
Ophelia had long expected this situation. She couldn't help but look at Li En again, wanting to know how he would face such pressure.
"Director, Lord Li En really has courage, standing on the highest council seat for the sake of witches. Does he not know the stubbornness of these old antiques in the empire?"
The secretary said aside.
"It's useless, he can't succeed."
Ophelia said firmly. She didn't believe that the Witch Covenant, which had existed for 500 years, would be revised because of Li En.
The essence of the "Witch Covenant" was not to serve witches, but to restrict witches and serve the empire.
How could the empire compromise on this matter?
He probably used Dorothy as an excuse to persuade Augulas, allowing the young emperor to turn a blind eye to this matter, otherwise he would not be able to stand on the highest council seat at all.
From the point of view that he successfully submitted the application, he was already more successful than most people.
But wanting to change this law was undoubtedly full of difficulties.
Even knowing the difficulties, he still had to do it. This made Ophelia admire him, but also feel sorry for him.
She only hoped that he wouldn't be too depressed after failing.
"He will succeed."
Dorothy, sitting next to Ophelia, said firmly, "There is nothing he wants to do that he can't succeed at."
Looking at the confident light in Dorothy's eyes, Ophelia keenly noticed something.
Could it be?
She wasn't sure before, but today this feeling would never be wrong.
Ophelia suspected that Dorothy had fallen in love with Li En, but she would never tell Augulas this.
First of all, Ophelia didn't like the Frank family's attitude and practices towards women. Her relationship with the family was not good. Like Mary, she was able to become the director of the Guardian Bureau entirely because she was good enough and her political position was not wrong.
Secondly, Ophelia believed that Dorothy was her future successor, and it was a better result not to marry Augulas.
Although the Guardian Bureau was an important tool of the empire, it was best not to get involved with the emperor's harem, as this would easily affect decisions.
Of course, she didn't think that Dorothy could be with Li En either.
Not to mention that both of them belonged to the elite of the Creed families, there was also a Sophie between them, oh no,
there was Catherine, Anna, Annie, Nancy, and Sophie, which was already enough.
Could it be that the empire's proud rose would be willing to bow her head and squeeze into the same garden with so many women?
That's right, Ophelia investigated Li En in a ghostly manner, originally wanting to use this man's scandalous news to completely dispel the psychological shadow he left on her, but she didn't expect that seeing him again still had an unspeakable throbbing.
Dorothy looked at Ophelia, "We should all think more about witches, shouldn't we?"
Ophelia remained noncommittal and did not answer Dorothy.
Everyone's eyes fell on Li En on the council system. Li En was wearing a black dress today,
low-key luxury, showing the temperament of the Moria old nobles.
Faced with the questions and denunciations of many judges, Li En chose to listen humbly and did not refute.
When they were all tired of scolding, Li En smiled and nodded to the 30 judges,
"What you said is all correct. Although witches have short lives, they are also the hope of mankind. Their limited lives should be used to fulfill their duties and protect all mankind."
Li En first affirmed the judges' views, and the judges thought it was so, thinking that he had been persuaded by their exquisite eloquence.
"In that case, what else do you have to argue?"
The old judge asked.
Li En spoke unhurriedly,
"As we all know, since witches appeared, they have been the chosen daughters of God. They have great power, and therefore God has given them important responsibilities, to protect mankind and maintain peace. Do you think there is no problem with what I said?"
The judges nodded, "Yes, witches are chosen by God, and their duty is to protect mankind. Because of this, witches cannot marry and have children like ordinary people. This violates the will of God."
"Please let the judges hear me out."
Li En did not rush to defend himself, but continued to elaborate on his point of view,
"In the book "The Origin of Witches", there are three events mentioned where witches saved the world—humanity was able to survive in the situation of being surrounded by monsters because of the protection of the witches."
Li En described in detail the three world-saving contents recorded in the book. This was actually something compiled by the higher-ups to brainwash the witches, not an established fact, but no one dared to overturn Li En's statement on this occasion.
Because this would prove that the higher-ups were lying to everyone, treating the people of the empire and the witches as fools.
This was a conspiracy, a prelude to laying the foundation for the entire argument.
The faces of the judges turned blue and white. One or two of them knew the truth, but they couldn't say it directly at this time.
"So humans should be grateful to witches, right? Judges."
Li En suddenly asked.
The old judge nodded, "Yes, we should be grateful for the contributions that witches have made to mankind."
Li En nodded and continued,
"Article 3 of the "Witch Covenant" stipulates that the duty of the guardian witch is to guard the high walls and resist monster attacks,
protect mankind. In the 531 years of history, no witch has violated her duty or left her post without permission. They have been diligently guarding the high walls. The meaning of their lives is to guard. So, they are the heroes of mankind, am I right?"
Li En asked again.
The judges frowned and admitted this.
"Yes, witches are the heroes of mankind."
Li En continued,
"Article 214 of the "Witch Covenant" supplementary regulations stipulates that, in view of the outstanding contributions of witches to the empire, guardian witches have supreme rights before they are about to lose control and must enjoy the same rights as barons. The rights of barons mainly include the following aspects:
Right to manage territory: Barons are usually granted a certain range of territory, which may include land, forests, rivers, and other resources. Barons have the right to manage and use these resources and can allocate them to subordinate knights and farmers.
Taxation and financial rights: Barons have the right to collect taxes and other fees within the territory. These revenues are used to support the baron's daily life and military activities. Barons can also obtain additional income through bazaars and market transactions.
Judicial power: Barons have certain judicial powers within their territory, and they can hear civil and criminal cases and even have the right to execute criminals. This power, to a certain extent, guarantees the authority and order of the baron within his territory.
Military command: In wartime, barons need to organize and lead the knights and farmers in their territory to participate in the war, responding to the summons of the king or higher-level nobles. Barons usually act as commanders on the battlefield, responsible for coordinating and directing battles.
Vassal relationship: There is a clear vassal relationship between barons and their subordinate knights and other vassals. Barons have the right to require vassals to provide military support and service, while vassals rely on the protection and resource allocation of the barons.
Social status and cultural activities: Barons enjoy a high status in society and usually participate in local social and cultural activities. They can hold banquets, bazaars, and other activities to promote economic and cultural exchanges within the territory.
Freedom of marriage: Barons have the right to marry no less than 1 wife and 3 mistresses.
This regulation itself contradicts Article 31 of the "Covenant."
So I think Article 31 should be abolished and implemented in accordance with Article 214 of the Covenant, restoring the marriage rights of witches."
After Li En finished speaking, the judges were dumbfounded.
How could they have thought that someone would have also read Article 214 of the supplementary regulations of the Witch Covenant? These supplementary regulations were nothing more than empty clauses used to brainwash witches, proving that witches had high status and noble status. From ancient times to the present, no witch has had a fief and married, except for Dorothy.
After a brief silence, the judges were like popcorn that had been exploded in a pot. Voices questioning Li En came one after another,
"Do you know what you are talking about? How can witches have fiefs?"
"According to you, witches can not only marry, but also have no less than three lovers after marrying?
This is simply blasphemy against God."
"Simon Moria, do you even know what you're saying?"
Li En waited for all the judges to finish their questions before politely speaking,
"Yes, historically, there has never been a witch with the right to own land or marry, but since the 'Covenant' records it, it proves that it is our human dereliction of duty, that we have not fulfilled our obligations, and we cannot therefore prevent witches from exercising their rights."
Faced with Li En's words, the old judge, who was re-examining the 'Witch Covenant' articles, was speechless. He was the one who respected the law the most.
He pushed up his thick-lensed glasses and said,
"Indeed, there is such a record, but witches have short lifespans. They simply cannot enjoy such a life.
Witch service is an iron law. Witches who have served have only two outcomes: magic out of control, or glorious death without losing control. Apart from witches like Her Excellency Dorothy, when do others have time to marry?"
"Whether they have time to marry is a matter for the witches, and what we have to do is to try to meet their needs as much as possible,
Because they are our heroes, not slaves of the empire. They protect all of humanity, to protect the rights and interests of all mankind, and they themselves belong to mankind. We cannot treat witches as aliens. This is a petition jointly signed by the noble women of the imperial capital. They all hope that witches, like them, have the freedom of love and marriage."
Li En said, handing over the petition signed by Ophelia and others. This move also imitated the High Priestess Fia back then.
The judges circulated the document, which even contained the signatures of many of their own family members.
Their faces became even more unsightly.
Damn Moria, when did he get involved with our own backyard?
They felt a green grassland growing on their heads. Who doesn't know the reputation of the Moria family?
Which noble woman who has been in contact with Moria can resist the temptation of the golden retriever?
So this petition is less a petition for the rights and interests of witches, and more a list of the Green Hat Association.
At least that's what the judges thought.
Li En didn't think so much. He had no intention of hooking up with those noble ladies. They all heard that this was a major event Li En was doing recently and volunteered to sign.
Moreover, the person who came forward was Parker, what does it have to do with Li En?
"If witches all go to love and marry, who will defend the high walls?"
A judge asked angrily after seeing the names of his wife and daughters.
He obviously regarded Li En as an imaginary enemy.
"I said, witches will still fulfill their obligations and defend the high walls, but obligations and rights are equal. If there is an obligation, there must be a right. If only obligations are fulfilled without any rights, then the witch is not a God-chosen one, but a slave, a tool."
Faced with the aggressive judge, Li En was no longer gentle and showed a tough attitude.
"Or is the 'Witch Covenant' not for witches, but for the selfish desires of humans? Are witches actually tools manufactured by the empire? Does the daughter of destiny not exist at all?"
Li En's question made everyone silent.
Augulas frowned. This guy accidentally spoke the truth.
Li En said this on purpose, not because he knew the truth, but as a reasonable guess, so he would not be suspected by Augulas and Randell.
But for Randell, even if he didn't suspect Li En, it was impossible to let go of this lifelong enemy.
The nobles in the audience were in an uproar. They were talking and pushing the legislative conference to a climax.
Bang, bang, bang! An old judge struck the gavel three times in a row to quiet the noisy environment.
"Recently, the Guardian Bureau has had the worst escape incident since its establishment. A witch who has not yet served has actually escaped."
Li En said with heartache, "She may be the first rebellious witch, but she will never be the last. If we still let the rights of witches remain on paper and do not implement them, if we continue to treat witches as beasts of burden, so that they cannot see hope in life, there will only be more and more witches who choose to defect like the Time Witch Milian. Let us not drive our friends to desperation, and do not turn our guardians into destroyers."
Ophelia's eyes widened. She didn't expect Li En to use Milian's case as an example.
The nobles in the audience were in an uproar again, especially the noble ladies.
"Oh my god, a witch has defected."
"The Guardian Bureau has concealed this matter. If Master Simon hadn't said it, we wouldn't have known."
"Witches are so powerful. If she escapes, won't she defect to the monsters and destroy the high walls?"
The judges also discussed it. The old judge looked at Ophelia, "Your Excellency Ophelia, Director of the Guardian Bureau, is what Simon Moria said true?"
Ophelia said with a straight face, "Yes."
The scene boiled again.
Li En continued, "We can only win the respect of witches by respecting them. We must prevent such tragedies from happening again, so that witches will always be our guardians, not defectors."
The nobles, especially the female nobles, deeply believed in Li En's words. They couldn't escape Li En's [Noble Girl Savior] entry halo at all. If it weren't for the guards stopping them, they might have turned the Supreme Legislative Court into a fan meeting.
"Yes, we support Li En, oh no, Lord Simon."
"Yes, what Lord Simon said makes so much sense. Witches should be respected."
"Witches can fall in love! They can marry."
I don't know who took the lead in saying this, and then the ladies followed suit and shouted, as if they had started a movement to awaken female consciousness.
"Witches can fall in love! They can marry!!!"
In order to stop people from continuing to make noise, the old judge knocked the gavel again, and said with a serious face,
"Witches are supreme, they are the guardians of mankind, and they are also human beings, but they are even more God-chosen ones. All our legislation must follow God's will, and we must listen to the opinion of His Holiness the Pope."
The old judge directly threw the question to Randell, just to avoid being scolded.
The judges also cherish their feathers extremely.
They neither agree to amend the 'Witch Covenant', nor can they admit that the current situation of witches is similar to that of slaves, like tools, just machines that can be moved wherever they are needed.
Although the residents of the Holy Empire fear the power of witches, they also generally worship the power of witches.
In addition, with Li En's influence among the people, they have no doubt that after this Supreme Legislative Court meeting ends,
They will become the target of public criticism.
Thinking that it is this group of judges who are not doing anything, so that the noble witches cannot enjoy special privileges, resulting in some witches beginning to defect.
They don't want to carry this blame.
Randell doesn't mind being this villain. He doesn't know what Li En is doing, wanting to amend the covenant, but he will only do things according to his personal preferences.
"God needs pure servants."
Randell said lightly.
These words undoubtedly blocked the path of witches' marriage.
Witches, as God-chosen ones, daughters of destiny, are also known as God's servants, and like nuns, they are not allowed to marry.
But Li En was prepared, "What His Holiness the Pope said is correct, but marriage is also sacred. It is a sacred ceremony witnessed by the God of Tiger for humans to reproduce and cannot be equated with filth."
Li En knew that even if what he said made sense, Randell would not agree.
Randell's eloquence is no less than that of Li En, and with his superior status, what he relies on to defeat him is not debate, but higher power.
"As pure as a nun."
Randell simply used one sentence to make Li En unable to continue arguing.
The judges breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, someone could stand up and deal with Li En.
But Li En was not flustered. He began to make a praying gesture.
"If that's the case, let God give us enlightenment."
Randell frowned slightly. He didn't believe that angels were so idle. Li En could summon them whenever he wanted. Is this his family's summoned beast?
Augulas remembered what Li En had said before. He was studying how to establish a fixed connection with angels, a fixed connection that could respond as long as it was summoned.
Thinking of this, he leaned forward with an expectant look.
The nobles in the audience also held their breath and looked at Li En expectantly.
As Li En's prayer ended, a green light appeared in the Supreme Legislative Court, just like in the Supreme Court, an angel descended!
Soraya looked down on everyone with pity.
"Great angel, can witches marry?"
Li En asked.
Soraya nodded slightly.
Randell's face was gloomy. He had never hated seeing angels so much.
Li En summoning angels twice will undoubtedly cause a great response within the Holy See and increase a large number of supporters.
The judges no longer had the will to continue the debate. They had to obey the oracle.
Soon after, the nationwide 'Witch Covenant' amendment bill was promulgated, abolishing Article 31 and stipulating that witches can freely fall in love and marry!
Simon Moria's name was also recorded in the history of the Legislative Court, becoming the first successful case of appealing a law.
For a long time in the future, everyone's discussion topics revolved around the topic of "witches can marry".
All the witches in the Guardian Bureau also remembered the name Simon Moria because of this.
Although they don't understand why Simon Moria wants to fight for their right to marry, and they don't know what love is.
