Vivian tilted her head: "What you're trying to do is so obvious, how could I not guess it? Or do you want me to pretend to be a little stupid to satisfy your vanity?"
Elena, who was diligently performing her duties in the distance, suddenly felt a tickle in her nose.
“Forget it, there’s no need for that.” Elise continued, “If nothing unexpected happens, the elves will owe us a favor this time. In addition, the World Tree is about to wither, so she can make a deal with the elves, giving them protection and making them fight for you. This will be of great help to your struggle for the throne.”
Vivian lowered her head and chuckled.
"what happened?"
"It's nothing, I just suddenly feel a little cold. Can you carry me back?" Although she was asking, Vivian had already reached out her hand to Iris.
Seeing that Vivian had already sat down to this extent, Elise had no choice but to pick her up by the waist and turn to walk into the room.
"It looks like you're staying here for your meal."
"It's not just about meals. Since it's a newly bought house, it needs some time to be set up, so I guess I'll have to stay here tonight. You won't refuse me, will you?" Vivian, who had just been so calm, suddenly became gentle again.
Seeing that Elise hesitated, Vivian added, "Didn't you say we were lovers?"
Suddenly, Elise felt as if she had been hit by a boomerang.
Since Vivian had already said that, what else could she say? Fortunately, her manor was large enough that she didn't lack accommodation, so she nodded in agreement.
But she soon discovered that Vivian was starting to take advantage of her.
Just after dinner, as she was preparing to take a shower, Vivian looked at her again.
"You're not going to come showering with me, are you?"
"My personal maid has taken leave, and I'm having trouble getting around on my own, so it seems I'll have to trouble you."
Elise was about to complain about the idea of personal maids taking leave, but then she suddenly remembered her own little maid, and the words stuck in her throat.
"Then shall I find two maids to help you?"
"You should know that I don't like people touching my body, except for those close to me."
"Then I am truly honored."
Iris sighed helplessly, then picked up Vivian and carried her to the bath.
Vivian kept observing Elise's every move, even while she was taking a bath.
She noticed that although Elise seemed somewhat reluctant, her movements were very practiced, as if they often bathed together.
These familiar feelings made her want to acquire more memories even more.
The only way to gain more memories is to continue staying with Elise.
After helping Vivian bathe, Elise looked at Vivian's somewhat thin body and said, "You're too thin. Have you not been eating properly lately?"
"That's just how my body is, there's nothing I can do about it."
"It's alright, you'll be back to normal soon." As long as he gets the World Tree Leaf, Vivian's health problems will be resolved.
In a daze, Vivian felt as if someone had said something similar to her.
After taking a shower, Elise intended to show Vivian around and let her choose a room, but Vivian said at that moment, "Since you said we are lovers, shouldn't we sleep in the same room?"
"Are you sure?" Elise raised an eyebrow.
“Of course,” Vivian replied without hesitation.
Without saying a word, Elise pushed Vivian's wheelchair into her room, then gently picked her up and placed her on the bed.
Just as Vivian's lips curled into a victorious smile, she found herself pinned down on the bed by Elise.
Her pale golden hair fell across Vivian's cheeks, and the faint scent of morning dew and flowers lingered around her nose, making her feel a little itchy.
"Do you know what happens when lovers sleep in the same room?" Elise lowered her body again as she spoke.
At this moment, Vivian could almost feel the other person's breath. A feeling of tension and shame welled up in her heart, causing an alluring pink blush to rise on her fair cheeks.
It was a feeling Vivian had never experienced before, and it even made her unconsciously grip the sheets tighter.
Elise hadn't expected Vivian to show such an expression. Her eyes shone with obvious pleasure and excitement, and even her face flushed, making the already beautiful Elise even more alluring.
Book 1: Chapter 67 She Saw Elise
"Wait, wait a minute."
Five-point introduction $q Qiba: Pa X Ling Qi% Lu Yi Hui
Feeling a slight pain in her neck, Vivian subconsciously pushed Iris, but her strength was no match for Iris, who was a follower of the Gluttony King. Moreover, her body was numb and she couldn't muster much strength.
She subconsciously concentrated her magic on the ring, and as a faint magical glow appeared, just as the energy charge was about to end, Elise grabbed her hand and severed the connection between her and the ring.
“It’s best not to do anything dangerous at a time like this.” Elise propped herself up and looked at the frail Vivian in front of her, a pleased smile playing on her lips.
Elise's fingertips gently traced Vivian's neck, leaving a mark there, like a rose petal falling on her snow-white skin.
Although she really wanted to continue, Vivian seemed somewhat resistant; she didn't like to force others on these kinds of matters.
"I'll teach you a lesson this time. If you push your luck again next time, I won't hesitate to give you a deep, bone-deep pleasure." Elise slowly got up, and just as she was about to straighten her clothes, she suddenly felt her clothes being gently tugged.
Vivian tilted her head, gently tugged at her clothes, and whispered, "I... I just didn't realize what was happening. You can... you can continue, it'll be fine."
Elise was originally prepared to let Vivian go, but unexpectedly, the other party took the initiative at this moment.
"Are you sure?" Elise licked her lips.
"Ah."
This time, Elise didn't hesitate at all and kissed Vivian on the lips.
Vivian's eyes gradually became hazy. Although it was her first kiss, it felt strangely familiar to her.
It seems like sometime...
A fragmented memory suddenly flashed through Vivian's mind.
She saw herself sitting on a cold throne, she saw herself gazing tenderly at the head in her arms, she saw herself raising the head in her hands and kissing it deeply.
She saw... Elise.
My heart seemed to stop beating at that moment, followed by endless pain.
Just as Elise was about to proceed to the next step, she discovered that Vivian had fainted. She blinked and immediately gave Vivian a full-body check, finding that she had simply fainted and there was nothing else wrong.
This relieved her, but also gave her a wry smile.
Vivian's body is too weak; she fainted after just one kiss.
It seems we don't need to consider this matter until we obtain the World Tree Leaf.
Elise sighed softly. Who should be responsible for the desires that had been aroused within her?
She glanced at her slender, long fingers, as if she had made up her mind.
……
the next day.
Vivian opened her eyes in a panic. The first thing she saw when she woke up was Elise lying next to her. She instinctively placed her hand on Elise's neck, feeling the delicate skin and warmth of a living person.
The warmth gradually calmed the panic in Vivian's eyes.
"You started touching me first thing in the morning. I thought you weren't the kind of person who was so sexually frustrated, were you? Or is it that I don't know you well enough?" Elise opened her eyes and looked at Vivian with a tender gaze.
Without responding to Elise's question, Vivian asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "What happened last night?"
"What do you think? She fainted after just one kiss, and in the end, I had to... Never mind, let's talk about that kind of thing after you've recovered." Elise yawned lazily, then slowly got out of bed and walked to the window to stretch her body.
The thin nightgown, illuminated by the sunlight, allowed Vivian to clearly see some of her silhouette.
Returning to the bedside, Elise reached out and gently pinched Vivian's cheek: "Why aren't you saying anything? Was last night too much of a shock for you?"
Looking at Elise, who was so close to her, Vivian also showed a calm smile: "You're overthinking it. That kind of thing isn't exciting for me."
"Your lips are soft, I just tested them, how come they're hard again now?"
"I need to get up. Please help me change my clothes while I'm at it. I need to go back and arrange the shelter you requested."
“Alright.” Elise gave up on teasing Vivian, took the clothes from her, and began to help Vivian change.
After Vivian changed her clothes, Elise nodded at the marks on Vivian's neck and said, "How are you going to cover this up? Or are you not going to cover it up at all?"
Instead of using healing potions, Vivian took out an elaborate necklace from her spatial ring and wore it around her neck, which perfectly concealed the marks left by Iris.
After pushing Vivian away from the manor, Vivian's personal maid appeared beside them instantly.
Elise gave up her seat and then said to the maid, "Vivian is all yours now."
The maid nodded, then pushed Vivian toward the house they had just bought nearby.
Once they were out of sight of Elise, the maid asked in a low voice, "Miss, you stayed at her house all night. She didn't mistreat you, did she?"
"No, and I won't."
"Have someone help me tidy up the manor on Prosperous Flower Street."
"Yes." The maid nodded gently. She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that her mistress had a kind of murderous aura about her today.
It seems she's not happy staying at Elise's house. I wonder why her mistress treats Elise differently?
She didn't understand this kind of thing, nor did she need to. As her personal maid, all she had to do was follow orders.
After seeing Vivian off, Elise returned to the manor and ran into Elena, who was up early.
Seeing the other person yawning, Elise asked with a smile, "Did you have another nightmare last night?"
"No." Elena avoided eye contact with Iris. She had become so accustomed to death that even if many people died, it wouldn't make a sound.
Otherwise, when he wakes up, Iris will be right next to him again.
Although she did feel a sense of security when she had her employer by her side, she always felt a little embarrassed about being comforted by her employer when she had nightmares.
"Really not?"
"Really, no." Elena rolled her eyes at Elise with some impatience, then headed straight for the training ground. Last night, she had gained a brand new fighting style from another version of herself, and now she was going to put it into practice.
Elise knew very well that Elena's impatience was a sign of her guilt. A pleasant smile appeared on her lips before she went back to her room to wash up.
If nothing unexpected happens, that elf lady should be coming to visit soon.
It hurts, it hurts too much!
Book 1: Chapter 68 Conditions and Preparations
“Miss, a lady named Eve wishes to see you.”
While having breakfast, Elise casually said, "Bring her here."
"Yes."
Before long, the young and adorable elven girl whom she had just met yesterday appeared in front of Iris.
She was quite direct, asking Elise immediately after seeing her, "What price would I have to pay if I wanted you to help save people?"
"Don't rush. The Govis Merchant Guild won't be dealing with those elves for the time being. Why don't you sit down and have something to eat? I don't think you've eaten anything since last night, have you?"
"Besides, we can't do anything in broad daylight. That would definitely attract the attention of other powerful figures in the city. If more people find out about the existence of those elves, guess what will happen?"
At Elise's urging, Eve hesitated for a moment but then quietly sat down.
Knowing that Eve would definitely come looking for her, Elise specially asked the kitchen to prepare extra food, making for a very lavish breakfast.
"Since you've come to me, it means you must have investigated the situation last night. If the information is correct, please give me the reward I'm asking for."
When Eve left the Forest of Sanctuary, the chieftain gave her five World Tree leaves. She has already used three during her long journey, and now she only has two left.
Without hesitation, she took out the remaining two World Tree leaves, handed them to Elise, and said, "I only have two leaves on hand right now. I will give you the last one when my people arrive, and I will also give you an extra one as compensation."
"it is good."
Elise knew that Eve only had two pieces, which was why she had asked her for three. Since Eve was so easy to talk to, she saved herself the trouble of arguing.
"Now, let's talk about rescuing people." Elise recalled for a moment before continuing, "The Govis Merchant Guild values your clan very much. Among the guards, there are two sixth-tier, seven fifth-tier, and nineteen or twenty fourth-tier, I've forgotten. As for those below the third tier, there are even more."
Actually, the Sixth Prince was too cowardly. He had a seventh-level expert by his side. If that expert were also put in the dungeon as a guard, the rescue operation would be more troublesome. But without that seventh-level expert, the rescue would be much easier.
"You should know that rescuing people is only the first step. The most important thing is how to evacuate them to the shelter silently. You know how difficult that is."
Eve bit her lower lip. She knew the difficulty of this situation. The best option was to call for reinforcements, but there wasn't enough time. By the time the reinforcements arrived, her fellow humans would probably have been dealt with. She had to hurry, which was why she had to come to Elise, the only human who knew her identity.
"So, what do you want?"
"I want to go into the Forest of Sanctuary."
