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

"Are you already eager to marry me?"

“You’re overthinking it.” Elise tapped Sera on the head, then followed her into the carriage.

Elise looked out the window at the scenery, then asked, "Have you been awake quite often lately?"

"It's alright, it's just that you're not around. If I could stay by your side more often, I might be able to wake up more often."

"There's nothing we can do about it. Once we've sorted things out here, we should have some time." However, Elise couldn't guarantee that, since things were always coming up and she couldn't just stop herself.

She had taken a break for a while, which was a relatively luxurious period in her life that had been through so much.

After some time, the carriage stopped near the Church of Aphrodite.

This kind of place attracts many visitors at any time. If it were before the time travel, this place would definitely be a popular spot for taking photos.

As soon as Elise entered the Church of Love, the once bustling church suddenly became quiet. Everyone in the church disappeared the moment she entered, leaving only Elise sitting on the pew waving at her.

"You've finally deigned to come see me! I've been waiting for you all this time." Eloise looked at Iris with a resentful expression, like an innocent girl abandoned by a heartless man.

However, her actions had no effect on Elise. Elise merely glanced at her before casually finding a seat and sitting down: "Do you know the God of Fate?"

“I knew you didn’t come here just to see me,” Eloise muttered, then said lazily, “I know, but not much. After all, I’m not the original, and even my memories are fragmented. I only know that He was one of the triggers for the War of the Gods.”

"The War of the Gods is said to be a war between the gods to gain faith and power."

"It's not that simple. The matter is extremely complicated, and the interests involved are far too complex. Even if I explained it to you, you wouldn't understand," Eloise said, feigning profundity.

"I don't think you have any related memories."

Even if Elise hadn't said anything, Elise already knew pretty much everything, after all, her life-and-death ordeal wasn't in vain.

Eloise chuckled dryly, then deflated like a punctured balloon, saying weakly, "There's nothing I can do. My original body has already perished, and I don't remember much anymore."

"But then again, why did you suddenly ask about fate?"

"Fate has its eye on us."

“Generally speaking, if fate wants you to die, you will die in a very reasonable way. But your composition is too complicated. I estimate that in its current state, it can only use some less fateful ways to make you die.”

Upon hearing Eloise's words, Elise couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, realizing that her past death was indeed related to fate.

Seeing Elise's displeased expression, Eloise couldn't help but smile and say, "If you stay in my church, I can protect you."

“There’s absolutely no need for that.” Elise could easily see that Eloise just wanted to chat with someone.

Although her plan had been seen through, Eloise was not embarrassed at all. She simply chuckled and changed the subject.

However, her conversation with Elise didn't last long. Suddenly, a rift was torn open in front of them, and Sera walked through it into the church. She glanced at Elise indifferently and said, "Aren't you two finished chatting yet?"

"Don't just trespass on other people's territory!" Eloise glared at Sera.

“She’s with me today, she doesn’t have time to chat with you about random things.” Sera put her arm around Elise’s waist, completely ignoring Eloise who was stomping her feet in anger.

"Looks like I'll have to come back and chat with you another time." Elise smiled, then disappeared into the deserted church with Sera.

As the two disappeared, Eloise also suppressed her obvious emotions, then muttered to herself thoughtfully, "The power to destroy the world? It's really interesting to see such power appear in one person."

On the other side, in a mere blink of an eye, Elise and Sera reappeared in the bustling Church of Love.

The people around them seemed completely oblivious to their sudden appearance, continuing to go about their own business.

Elise gently nudged Sera's hand and said, "When did my Sera become so domineering?"

"Perhaps it was influenced by the Sword Hero."

The Sword Hero, the first king of the Holy Kingdom, and the original user of the Holy Sword.

Happy Valentine's Day! And here's an extra update—yes, I deliberately updated after midnight!

Volume 1: Chapter 501 The Suddenly Vanished Target

"I've relaxed to this extent, and no one has made a move against me yet?"

Elise walked hand in hand with Sera down the bustling street, a faint smile on her face. If she hadn't used the power of the Holy Face to conceal her presence, her smile alone would have attracted countless gazes.

"Everything nearby is within my perception range, and I estimate that even if there is an attack targeting you, it won't come so soon."

"People were really looking forward to it."

If this had happened in the past, Elise would probably have already been thinking about how to run away, but this time it's different. Now she has quite a few main characters around her.

Looking at the darkening sky, Elise lazily covered her mouth and yawned, "It's getting late, let's go back."

"it is good."

The two didn't look for a carriage; Sera simply picked up Iris and quickly returned to Elira's house.

Upon realizing that Sera still hadn't let go of her after returning, Elise couldn't help but ask, "You don't want to let me go?"

"Yeah, I'm a little reluctant to part with it." Sera admitted it very directly, after all, her activity time was almost up, and she estimated that in another ten minutes or so, she would be back to that state.

Elise wrapped her arms around Sera's neck and whispered in her ear, "Even though there's not much time, it's still worth a try."

"Forget it, it would be too disappointing if it suddenly changed back halfway through." Sera reluctantly let go of her hand and then deliberately fell asleep.

As you can see, Sera's appearance changed to be exactly the same as Elise's in an instant. It can only be said that the influence of Elise's soul imprint on her was still too deep. Even Sera, who was once affected by the Holy Sword, did not reach this level.

Sera slowly opened her eyes, looked at Elise and said, "Little Sera, do you like me that much? You look like me every day."

Elise chuckled softly, then walked directly into the house.

You can see that Wendy is the only one in the room, sitting quietly on the sofa reading a book.

Elise, somewhat curious, leaned closer to take a look and discovered that the book Wendy was reading was just a regular history of the kingdom.

Noticing Elise's gaze, Wendy tilted her head and asked in a cool voice, "What's wrong?"

"I was wondering if you noticed I was back and changed the book you were reading?" Wendy's senses were very strong, so it was impossible for her not to be aware of her presence. Therefore, she had reason to suspect that the other party had changed the book.

“No.” Wendy’s tone remained calm, as if nothing could arouse her emotions.

Actually, Elise was just a little curious about what kind of books Wendy usually liked to read. Since the other party didn't want her to know, she didn't bother to find out.

She casually sat down next to Wendy, then summoned a butterfly and began using the insect network to contact the little maid.

The little maid said she was going to kill someone, but she hasn't returned yet. I wonder who she's planning to kill, given how long it's taken.

Iris's contact was quickly answered, and she heard the excited voice of the maid: "Miss, you were looking for me?"

Yes, I miss you.

Elise's words were very direct, and the little maid opposite her couldn't help but start to beat faster after hearing them. Even her fair and lovely face flushed slightly: "Then, I'll come back now."

"Don't rush, I happen to be in the Kingdom, at Elira's house. If you're nearby, just come over."

"Okay, I'll be right away."

Knowing that her mistress was in the same city as her, the maid didn't delay. She used her dagger to cut open space and teleported directly to Elira's mansion.

Seeing the little maid appear right in front of her, Elise couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "When did my little maid learn spatial teleportation?"

Upon seeing Iris, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, the little maid's face lit up with excitement, and she immediately rushed into her mistress's arms.

She wouldn't have dared to do something so daring before. It was only after she awakened her memories and had that kind of thing with the young lady that she gradually became bolder.

After snuggling comfortably in her mistress's arms, the little maid took out her Devourer Dagger and said, "I took some time to kill a space-type mage and absorbed the spatial teleportation skill."

The little maid was quite satisfied with this skill, since she wouldn't have to bother Sally anymore and could come back to see her mistress anytime.

Elise ruffled the little maid's hair and then asked, "You said you were going to kill someone, was it that space-type mage?"

"No, I gained the ability to teleport to better hunt down my target. The person I'm going to kill is named Valentina. Miss, you should know her, right?"

"The possessor of the blood of the True Ancestor?" Elise raised an eyebrow.

She was familiar with this name; after all, she had died many times because of him.

Although there was no enmity between the two, Valentina seemed to have a fatal attraction to his blood, which led to him being targeted and drained of his blood.

Elise had once considered nurturing Valentina, but the attraction of her blood to Valentina was too irresistible. After many failed attempts, Elise gave up on the idea.

At the same time, she also found a way to avoid being killed by the other party.

As long as you don't get too close to the other person, it's fine. After all, no matter how sensitive a vampire's nose is, there's still a limit to how far they can go.

Unexpectedly, the little maid chose to hunt her down.

Valentina should now have obtained three or four drops of True Ancestor Blood, and her strength should be close to the seventh rank.

“That’s right, it’s her.” The maid’s eyes gleamed with a chilling killing intent. Back then, the other party had drained her mistress dry right in front of her, and she couldn’t let this grudge go unavenged.

Moreover, the blood of the True Ancestor is of great use to her, and is the key to her rapid improvement of strength.

"So you did it?"

"I was ready to make my move, and I even collected the remaining True Ancestor blood as bait, but she suddenly disappeared." At this point, the little maid couldn't help but frown slightly. She had made all the necessary preparations, but Valentina suddenly vanished for some unknown reason.

You should know that she had five drops of True Ancestor's blood as bait, yet the other party was able to resist, which was something the little maid hadn't expected.

"Suddenly disappeared?" Elise's mind quickly flashed through various missions related to Valentina. Logically speaking, Valentina shouldn't have disappeared suddenly. What happened to her?

Or perhaps someone reminded her?

Volume 1: Chapter 502 Miss Nora Gradually Understands Everything

"It doesn't matter. As long as the blood of the True Ancestor is in your hands, she will come to you sooner or later."

Although I can't think of any clues for the time being, the fact that the little maid has the blood of the True Ancestor is enough.

The little maid understood this, and she nodded obediently before telling her mistress about some of her recent experiences.

As time passed, those who had gone out gradually returned.

When Elena returned, her gaze couldn't help but fall on the little maid.

Although the two didn't have any conflict because of Elise, Elena could still sense the maid's chilling killing intent.

Just then, Nora's voice rang out from behind her: "What are you standing here for?"

Nora, somewhat curious, peeked into the room from behind Elena. Upon seeing the little maid, a smile appeared on her face: "Isn't this the little maid? Long time no see!"

However, what she received in return was the maid's cold gaze and chilling killing intent.

Nora blinked, wondering why the little maid was staring at her like that when she hadn't done anything wrong.

Elena noticed the maid's gaze and glanced at Nora involuntarily, as images from her memories flashed through her mind.

She remembered that when she was experiencing the memories of another version of herself, Elise was beheaded by Nora with a single sword while trying to protect her.

Although a long time has passed, that scene still lingers in her mind.

For the first time, Elena realized that having a good memory wasn't necessarily a good thing.

Sensing that the atmosphere seemed a bit strange, Nora couldn't help but look at Elise and whispered, "Your little maid seems a bit odd, what's going on?"

Elise ruffled the little maid's hair and said, "It's nothing, you don't need to worry about it."

“How could I not care about something like this?” Nora muttered softly, then leaned close to Elena’s ear and whispered, “Do you know what happened?”

Elena could roughly guess some of it, but she didn't know how to say it, so she could only shake her head helplessly: "Find an opportunity to ask the little maid yourself, she should be able to tell you."

"Why are you all acting like riddle tellers?" Nora pouted, a little annoyed. She disliked all this kind of roundabout stuff.

However, Nora did take Elena's words to heart. So that evening, Nora found an opportunity to approach the lone maid and asked, "Little maid, I didn't bully your mistress. Can you tell me what's with your murderous intent?"

"You've never bullied my young lady?" The maid smiled brightly as if she had heard a joke, but her eyes remained icy cold.

What a joke! Nora has killed just as many of her mistresses as Elena. If it weren't for the fact that Elena is now her mistress's business partner, she would have done it long ago.

The maid initially didn't want to pay attention to the other person, but soon she seemed to have thought of something, and a sickly smile appeared on her face: "You want to know why? Well, I'll tell you then, but I hope you won't regret it."

"What are you doing?" Just as Nora was getting curious, she saw the little maid take out the Devourer Dagger and plunge it directly into her own chest.

As the maid pulled the dagger out, in addition to the gushing blood, strands of silk were also pulled out from the wound.

This is an ability that the Faceless Man once obtained using the Devourer. It can steal the memories of the other party while causing damage. This ability is also useful for corpses that have been dead for some time, so the little maid has kept this ability until now.

She casually grabbed the four bundles of silk threads and handed them to Banora: "These are my memories; the answers you seek are within them."

Nora was momentarily stunned when the maid handed her the silk thread, but she still subconsciously took it.

After handing over the items, the maid's changing ring flashed, and her bloodstained maid outfit was quickly replaced with a brand new one. As for her wounds, they had already healed after the Devourer was extracted.

Nora glanced at the departing maid's back, then turned her gaze back to the silk thread in her hand.

After a brief hesitation, she returned to her room and began to use her mental energy to interact with the threads.

The moment her mental energy came into contact with the threads, Nora's consciousness was drawn into a memory.
