Let them live with that regret for the rest of their lives!

Just now in that clothing store, after she found the young lady crying, she immediately suspected that Elise had done something to her. After all, that bitch liked to bully the young lady, and if the young lady hadn't stopped her, she would have killed Elise long ago.

Vivian gently shook her head: "I'm fine. Please check Elise's recent movements for me. I need the most detailed report."

Mara nodded in agreement, then left the carriage to explain the young lady's tasks to someone.

Vivian instinctively placed her hand on her chest, the stinging sensation still lingering. She needed to figure out why she had such a sad reaction when she saw Elise.

She had also suspected that it might be a curse, but she had a special tool to detect curses. If it were a curse, there would be a reaction. It was more like a subconscious reaction of the body after receiving some kind of stimulus.

“Elise…”

It was a name she should have hated, but for some reason, it made her feel nostalgic.

"Miss, I've already sent someone to investigate. Should we go back now or..."

"Let's go back."

At this moment, Vivian Lin had no other thoughts; she only wanted to know information about Ivalice.

……

Night falls.

At Elise's manor.

Elise, who had just finished dinner and was about to take a shower, instinctively called out, "Misha, help me..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Elise remembered that her little maid had asked for leave. She sighed with some melancholy and then said to Elena, "My personal maid, help me take a bath in a bit."

"Huh?" Elena pointed to herself, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Helping the master bathe is one of the duties of a personal maid."

"I don't know anything about this. Are you sure you want me to help you?" Elena scratched her head; this touched on an area where she had no knowledge.

"If you don't understand, I'll teach you," Elise said to Elena with a smile.

Elena was conflicted. Since she had accepted Elise's gold coins, she should try to meet her reasonable requests.

After a moment's hesitation, she nodded in agreement and then went to the bath with Elise.

She knew the manor existed, but had never been there; she usually bathed in her room.

The bathtub is so big, you could practically swim in it.

"Want to swim in there?"

"How did you know what I was thinking?" Elena, whose thoughts had been read once again, silently distanced herself from Elise.

"Of course it's a guess, your expression is just too easy to read."

"Really?" Elena, as a veteran adventurer, considered herself quite good at managing her expressions. How did this woman figure it out?

Ignoring Elena's confusion, Elise casually took off her clothes.

Her flawless, fair skin and near-perfect figure were so stunning that even Elena was momentarily stunned upon seeing this scene.

She just couldn't understand why a woman's body could be so alluring to her.

"Is it pretty?" Elise's soft voice rang out.

"Well, it's just so-so." Elena avoided eye contact with Iris, suddenly noticing that the bathtub's decorations were quite exquisite.

"Then why don't you look at me?"

"I..." Elena was about to say something when she noticed that Elise had somehow moved closer to her, looking at her with adoring eyes.

The other person's sudden approach made her forget to retort for a moment, until Elise's crisp laughter rang out, bringing her back to her senses: "Is it fun to tease me?"

"Of course it's interesting."

Teasing the protagonist is one of Elise's favorite things to do.

However, Elise also had a good grasp of Elena's patience, always managing to stop before Elena got angry.

Just like it is now.

"Okay, I don't need you to help me take a bath. To express my apology, you can go for a swim in the bath."

"Really?"

"Of course, but you have to take a shower before you go in."

"Then I won't be polite."

Unlike the maid Xiao Ba, Erinna never stood on ceremony. She immediately took off her superior maid outfit and began to wash herself. Then, she eagerly jumped into the bath, splashing a large amount of water.

In Wendy's room while Elise and Elena are taking a bath.

She was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding the clothes that Elise had given her, a faint smile on her face.

Just then, Wendy seemed to sense something, and slowly closed her eyes. A strange mark resembling a spider appeared on her forehead, and there seemed to be faint sounds of insects chirping.

The mark flickered a few times before disappearing again, and Wendy opened her eyes again. The smile on her face remained unchanged, but a joyful imprint had quietly appeared in her light green pupils.

Volume 1: Chapter 51 Laugh at you, laugh at me

Outside Star City, in front of the ancient city ruins.

The once magnificent ancient city has been enveloped by divine energy, like a giant cocoon that encompasses the entire city. No one can enter the ruins now.

A group of stunningly beautiful young women dressed in nunneries stood quietly outside the city, their golden eyes gazing at the giant cocoon formed from divine energy.

Just then, a knight in pure white armor slowly approached the young lady from a distance, bowed respectfully, and said, "Your Majesty, the Empire's investigation team is about to arrive, and we should leave now."

The girl responded softly, then turned and followed the knight: "Any clues about the battle that took place in Starlight City four nights ago?"

"I'm sorry, that battle was covered up very well, and our people didn't find any clues. Do you think that battle is related to the anomalies in the ancient city?"

"Perhaps. I can sense that something has left the ancient city. Whether it's the insect queen's retinue or Gaia's followers, it's not good news for the world's stability. Find the clues as soon as possible, and then have the Executioners clean it up. If necessary, we can apply to use 'Heroic Spirits'."

Yes, all for eternity!

"Everything for eternity."

……

Imperial Magic Academy, Teleportation Hall.

With a flash of light, Elise's graceful figure appeared here.

Although she has a bad reputation in the college, her good looks are undeniable, and she doesn't lack attention wherever she goes.

^尔霖捌捂O九删六氿QunN

Moreover, her family actually owns a gold mine, so many people try to win her favor, hoping that success will allow them to avoid decades or even more of hard work.

Fortunately, Elise has always been very self-important and has never even considered this matter.

Ignoring the stares of those around her, Elise thought for a moment, then walked toward the classroom for her magic theory class.

She's not going to attend classes; she's already a professor here. She's only here to see two people and make a brief appearance.

Upon arriving at the classroom for the magic theory class, Elise glanced around casually before sitting down next to Nora.

Seeing Elise's actions, many people showed expressions of watching a show.

Ignoring the stares of those around her, Elise sat down and smiled at Nora, saying, "What a good student! You came to the academy on your second day back."

So, have you prepared my gift?

"You came to the academy just to urge me to buy you a gift?" Nora asked, propping her chin on her hand, her tone somewhat helpless.

"Actually, I came here to see you. Even though it's only been a day since we last met, I still miss you a lot."

Elise's voice was soft and sweet, with a touch of playfulness, like a lover whispering in your ear.

Nora unconsciously shifted her position. Even though she knew the woman was flirting with her, there was nothing she could do. After all, she hadn't prepared a gift for Elise.

She made up her mind: after class, she would go to Golden Street and buy the woman's gift first.

The classroom was bustling with activity, as most people were discussing the upcoming Spark Festival next month, one of the Empire's traditional festivals commemorating the victory in the Magic War.

On that day, the entire city of Seria will become very lively. It is also one of the merchants' favorite days. Countless shops will launch various promotional activities, and there will be a grand magical special effects show on the evening of the festival.

To put it simply, it's a fireworks display before time travel, except instead of gunpowder, it uses magical devices.

"Have you heard? It's said that the Holy Maiden of the Eternal Church will be attending the Spark Festival this year. Do you think I have a chance then...?"

"Don't even think about it. We're not qualified to get close to the Saintess, but we can still catch a glimpse of her from afar. I've heard she's very beautiful. I wonder who's prettier, the Saintess or Elise."

"I think she is a saint."

I still think Elise is prettier.

Hearing the conversation between the two students not far away, Elise couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. The saintess of the Eternal Church was actually coming to participate in the Spark Festival?

It's unclear whether this news is true or false. If it is true, then it's another variable for her.

In the past, no saints participated in the Spark Festival, but the Eternal Church would send people over, since they desperately wanted to preach in the Empire, but unfortunately the Empire never agreed.

"what happened?"

"You'd better not stay in Seria next month."

"why?"

“The Eternal Church has agents, and the Third Princess will also become more active. Right now, you're going to die no matter which side you face. The best option is to leave Seria for the time being.”

"The Eternal Church also has agents?" A look of surprise flashed in Nora's eyes.

“That’s right, and it’s also a seventh-tier being, so there’s a possibility of conflict with the Third Princess.” Elise hadn’t experienced anything like this before, so she could only make inferences based on her experience.

Is there a possibility of both sides suffering losses?

"It's unlikely. Those two are quite rational; they're unlikely to fight to the death at this time. You have to listen to me," Elise said to Nora, her smile fading and her expression turning serious.

Although Nora and Elise haven't spent much time together, every time Elise shows such a serious expression, it means things are already quite serious.

"I'll be leaving before the end of the month. Are there any suitable places for me to gain experience?"

"Yes, but I can't remember right now. Maybe I'll remember after someone gives me the gift." Elise, who had just been looking serious, smiled again on her beautiful face.

Nora rolled her eyes, not wanting to pay any attention to Elise; this woman's change of attitude was just too fast.

But Elise is the type who will pester you if you ignore her, and Nora's torment only ended when class started.

She vaguely heard an ethereal laugh in her ear. Nora twitched the corner of her mouth and said to the person inside her, "What's so funny?"

"I'm laughing at how Elise has you completely under her thumb."

"How could that be? I was just going along with her. After all, I haven't prepared the gift I promised her yet."

Do you need me to help you choose?

"Thank you, but no need. If you're so kind as to do that, you should teach me how to use sword dance."

"Go find Elise and have her teach you to dance. Once you learn the steps, you'll have mastered sword dance. It's that simple."

Nora was initially resistant, but when she thought about what Elise had just said—that the other agents were already so powerful—she realized that if she didn't hurry up and improve her strength, she would eventually end up like Elaine.

"Wait until I've prepared the gift. I'll try my best to learn it before I leave Celia."

Volume 1: Chapter 52 Someone is getting anxious

After the magic theory class ended, Nora didn't even stay for the next class and went straight to the teleportation hall.

Feeling a sense of urgency, she immediately went to prepare a gift for Elise.

As for the courses at the magic academy, what's the point of a warrior learning them? She can just buy a magical device that makes her sword glow to look good.

Watching Nora's hurried departure, Elise lazily got up and slowly left the classroom.

She strolled to the college library.

Elena's younger sister, Flora, works as a librarian here. Last time, I asked her to help me collect information about Eloise. I wonder how well she's done with it.

She slowly walked to the library's front desk, where she could see Flora sitting there, intently copying something, so engrossed that she didn't even notice Iris standing right in front of her.

"Cough cough."

Upon hearing the voice, Flora looked up in confusion. The moment she saw Iris, the confusion in her eyes quickly disappeared, replaced by tension and panic.
