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

After saying that, Elsa jogged away, worried that if she stayed in front of the teacher, she wouldn't be able to control her emotions and they would show on her face.

You know, it took her a long time to muster up the feeling of shyness when she was in the teacher's arms.

Fortunately, even though she had left, her cat was still by her teacher's side, and she could sense what the cat could sense.

The teacher's embrace is so warm.

Elsa hugged her shoulders, as if savoring something, and the smile on her face seemed somewhat morbid and crazy at this moment.

Volume 1: Chapter 437 Wanting to Make Her a Mess

Because of the unpredictable changes in the war, Elise went directly to Vivian's new mansion after dinner.

However, upon arriving at her destination, she was told that Vivian was attending a banquet and might not be back for some time.

"If Miss Iris doesn't mind, you can wait in Miss Vivian's room first."

The speaker was Vivian's butler, a seventh-level expert who had been by Vivian's side for a long time and had watched her grow up.

That's why he was also very clear that Elise was the first person who could go directly to Vivian's room to wait.

“Okay, then I’ll go to her room and wait.” Elise didn’t even need the maid to lead her; she walked into Vivian’s room with practiced ease.

Perhaps influenced by Elise, Vivian's room had a faint scent of morning dew and flowers.

Normally, Iris would see Vivian sitting at her desk handling various matters as soon as she entered the room, but now she was all alone, making her feel like something was missing.

She casually sat on Vivian's bed, then looked around, wondering if Vivian might be hiding some indescribable study materials in the room.

However, Elise quickly dismissed this unrealistic idea. Putting aside Vivian's personality, just considering the convenience of spatial rings, even if she really had one, she would probably keep it in a spatial ring most of the time.

Based on Elise's understanding of Vivian, she estimated that it would be more than an hour before Vivian got home, so she simply climbed into Vivian's bed and snuggled into her blankets.

Since accepting the mark of sloth, Elise has found that sometimes, if she doesn't control herself, she can easily be influenced by sloth.

Like now, I was originally planning to wait for Vivian to come back, but before I knew it, I was in bed with her.

She even fell asleep.

Just as Elise had predicted, a little over an hour later, a carriage stopped in front of Vivian's mansion, and she floated down from it in her magical wheelchair.

As soon as Vivian returned to the mansion, she heard the butler report that Elise had been waiting for her in her room for more than an hour.

Although Vivian's response remained as calm as ever, she maneuvered her wheelchair back to her room much faster than usual.

Vivian was initially a little worried that Elise might have to wait too long.

But when she entered the room, she found Elise lying peacefully asleep on her bed.

Even she felt a mix of helplessness and amusement upon seeing this scene.

However, Vivian did not wake Elise; she simply got up silently and went to the bedside.

But it was at this moment that Elise, who had been fast asleep, suddenly opened her eyes. Although there was still a hazy sleepiness in her eyes, she gazed at me with a captivating charm: "You came to the bedside without a word. Could it be that you're planning to take advantage of my unpreparedness, use the magic-suppressing collar to control me, and then do something indecent to me?"

"Now that you've already told me what I'm going to do, will you put the necklace on yourself or will I help you?" Vivian was completely unfazed by Elise's teasing and answered calmly as always.

Knowing she couldn't flirt with Vivian, Elise pouted in annoyance and said, "I've been waiting for you here for so long, aren't you going to do anything about it?"

Elise was just saying it casually, but Vivian leaned down and kissed her on the lips.

A flicker of surprise crossed Elise's eyes as she was suddenly attacked, but she quickly began to enjoy the familiar yet ambiguous feeling.

The intimate contact between the two did not last long. Vivian knew very well that Elise had waited for her for so long, so she must have something important to discuss.

Besides, we still have plenty of time tonight, so we can take care of important business first and then do other things.

Q: "Speak, what urgent matter do you need me for?"

U: "You should already know that the border city of Alba has fallen, right?"

As the emperor's illegitimate daughter, and supported by a complex web of powerful forces, Vivian receives the latest news, big or small, about the empire. Such a major event is no exception.

She nodded and said softly, "As far as I know, the emperor was furious about this matter. The magic academy that had just returned to Seria was once again sent to the front line, along with the Third Magic Legion."

"Even the Third Magic Legion has been dispatched; it seems the Emperor is truly furious."

Neither Elise nor Vivian showed the slightest respect for the emperor, the ruler of the empire, when they spoke of him.

"You came all this way to find me, surely not just to tell me this information?"

"Of course not. I have no memory of Alba being breached. You understand what I mean?"

"You mean there's been a change in circumstances? If nothing unexpected happens, it's probably something unexpected that's happened on the kingdom's side."

"As expected of you, it's so easy to talk to smart people." Elise pulled Vivian into her arms.

When Vivian returned tonight, she was still wearing the evening gown she wore to the banquet. Noble and elegant, these words could perfectly describe Vivian right now.

But the more noble and elegant something is, the more people want to mess it up.

Vivian, who was pulled into Elise's arms, did not struggle, but simply held down Elise's somewhat restless little hand.

She doesn't want certain emotions to affect her thinking for the time being.

"I will have my intelligence agents, who are lurking in the kingdom, gather intelligence as soon as possible."

"I've also sent people to look for the problem, and if nothing unexpected happens, we should get news soon."

Do you have any guesses?

"I suspect that the war has already begun to recover and that they want to increase the speed of a full recovery by expanding the scale of the war."

This was a conclusion Elise reached after thinking about it for a long time.

If things had continued as planned, there would have been no need for such a hasty war. However, Elise had discovered the divine realm of order in Castor last time, and had not even discovered the mastermind behind it.

She has reason to suspect that order has already begun to return.

War and order are mortal enemies. If order is restored ahead of schedule, then this war is very likely to end sooner.

It's quite normal for a war that feels threatened to escalate into petty squabbles.

If nothing unexpected happens, the side adhering to the rules should launch a counterattack soon.

If one were on the side of order, one would choose to drag the Eternal Church into the conflict, since order is definitely more appealing than war.

Volume 1: Chapter 438 Iris, who rebelled against the Heavenly Gang

Elise and Vivian talked for a long time, plotting what they could gain from this conflict.

This scheme continued until late at night before it finally came to an end.

Although there were still many details to discuss, it was getting late, and Elise and Vivian tacitly agreed not to continue the conversation.

As for the rest of the time, we naturally discussed other things.

Elise had initially thought that she had only teased Vivian casually after her return.

Just as the two were about to begin a more in-depth conversation, Vivian had already taken out the magic-suppressing collar from the drawer.

Looking at the collar on Vivian's wrist, Elise gazed at her with pure, innocent eyes and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Do you think feigning ignorance will work on me? Didn't you just arrange what I need to do tonight? I'm just following your instructions." Vivian's tone was calm, but upon closer inspection, it carried an undeniable air of authority.

Elise had experienced this assertiveness many times when she was with Vivian, but Vivian's assertiveness was usually reserved for serious matters.

"Are you planning to do it yourself, or... let me help you?"

"Actually, I think you should try it yourself and see what happens?"

A strange heart-shaped mark appeared in Elise's eyes, causing Vivian to momentarily lose her focus, while Elise had already put the collar around Vivian's neck.

Feeling Vivian's dangerous gaze, Elise also revealed a charming smile.

……

The next day, Elise woke up early and immediately ran away. She felt that if she stayed there, she might be severely retaliated against for what she had done to Vivian the night before.

To avoid that kind of thing happening, Elise decisively chose to run away.

Shortly after Elise left, Vivian slowly opened her eyes. Although she was not very strong, she could still sense when someone left her side.

She gave a soft hum, then slowly sat up. As the light from the changing ring flickered, an elaborate dress instantly covered her body, concealing most of the marks.

As Vivian began tidying up the room, she silently thought to herself that next time that wicked woman Elise came looking for her, she would definitely make her do the finishing touches.

After Vivian had almost finished packing her things, there was a knock on her door, and her personal maid's voice came: "Miss, it's time to get up."

"I'm awake."

Vivian pushed the door open and then strode out of the room.

As Vivian passed by her personal maid, the maid, who had a keen sense of smell, sniffed, vaguely sensing someone's scent on her mistress.

Although my young lady has been using morning dew-scented incense lately, the scent of the incense is still different from the scent on that person.

However, it's not strange that my young lady might have picked up a little of Elise's scent while secretly discussing things with her, is it?

Even though... a very impolite thought suddenly popped into the maid's mind, she quickly dismissed it.

She felt it was best not to overthink things.

Meanwhile, on the other side, after returning to the manor, Elise immediately contacted Elira, who had returned to the kingdom the day before.

Upon receiving Elise's call, Elira, with a somewhat melancholy expression, took out a heavy cocoon and let the butterfly that emerged from it invade her ear.

Although she had tried many times, she still couldn't get used to the feeling.

Suppressing her discomfort, Elira, having successfully connected, quickly heard Elise's voice: "How are things on your end?"

"For the time being, there are no problems. I also asked around yesterday. The kingdom's strategic change was influenced by the war faction, but I don't know the specifics yet. I may need to continue to investigate."

"And what about the Order faction?"

"As you know, because of the fall of the God of Order, His fragments have been scattered all over the world and have disappeared without a trace. Therefore, the influence of the Order faction in the kingdom has been gradually weakening. I estimate that even if they wanted to change it, they would not be able to."

“I know about the situation in the Kingdom, but don’t forget, the mastermind behind Hattie’s kidnapping is definitely connected to the Order.”

"I know that. I plan to figure out the situation first, and we can discuss the rest later."

"Okay, let's leave it at that for now."

Having confirmed that there were no immediate problems with Elira, Iris felt relieved. If the Order faction failed to act, she planned to contact the Eternal Church to further escalate the kingdom's troubles.

Just as Iris was contacting Elira, Elsa, far away in the Land of Hope, had her eyes turn a holy gold, with the holy marks of order emerging within them.

She stood quietly in her room, as if listening to someone speak.

After a while, Elsa said calmly, "According to the plan, let's contact the Eternal Church. With their involvement, things will be much easier."

After giving the instructions, the holy marks of order in Elsa's pupils dissipated, the gold gradually faded, and the inhuman feeling of looking down on all living beings also gradually subsided.

In the blink of an eye, Elsa transformed back into the pure and lovely girl next door.

"What should I do for my teacher today?" Elsa murmured to herself in a lighthearted tone.

……

"Today is another day full of hope."

Upon arriving at the Land of Hope, Elise couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the thriving place before her.

But just as Elise finished her sigh, she heard Lily's clear and melodious voice: "What brings you here? Are you going to some dangerous place again?" As she said this, Lily's eyes suddenly became wary.

"What are you thinking about? You've only been back a few days. I came to check on the Magic Workshop. Are there still frequent explosions lately?"

"I heard there are fewer of them, but they still explode every now and then." Just as Lily finished speaking, a violent explosion came from the direction of the magic workshop.

Iris twitched the corner of her mouth, then walked towards the magic workshop with Lily.

From afar, one could see the area around the magic workshop in a state of disarray. Many magic craftsmen, disregarding their faces blackened by smoke and dust, were diligently recording data, among them Flora.

She was so focused that she didn't even notice Iris approaching. It was only when Iris coughed lightly twice that Flora realized what was happening.

"Miss Iris, when did you arrive?!"

Volume 1: Chapter 439 Elsa's Little Thoughts

“I heard an explosion, so I came to check it out,” Elise said, taking out a handkerchief to wipe Flora’s smudged face.

Flora felt even more embarrassed when she saw her pristine white handkerchief gradually getting dirty because of her.

"There was just a small mishap during the test, but it's nothing serious."

"Hmm, by the way, where's Theresa?"

"Miss Theresa usually comes in the afternoon, so she should be at home now."
