"Just leave it at the manor."
"Huh?" Wendy was taken aback, seemingly not quite understanding why Elise did this. If it were at the manor, wouldn't those people come knocking on their door?
Wendy's doubts were too obvious, so Elise patiently explained to her, "I did this to clear that saintess of suspicion against me."
"Just do as I say. Once the bait is made, I'll have someone prepare a safe house for you. Stay there for a couple of days and bring Isabella with you."
"When can I come back?"
"You're already thinking about coming back before you've even left? Are you that reluctant to part with me?" Elise said with a smile.
"Yes, I'll miss you." Wendy answered without the slightest hesitation, and without any beating around the bush.
Ba Shan O Jiu Qiu Cu Wu Ba Q/un:
Elise was taken aback by such a direct attitude, before she smiled gently and said, "It will be soon. Bring some books with you to keep you entertained."
"Oh."
Wendy nodded and then went to make preparations.
After Wendy left, she cleaned up all traces of herself and Isabella. To be on the safe side, Elise made sure the trash can absorbed a lot of air to completely eliminate any traces. Now all she had to do was wait for the Saintess to come and visit.
Not long after Wendy left, Rumia and her group returned to the Eternal Church's headquarters.
Rumia took out a mirror, but the mirror was completely blurry; even though Rumia was standing in front of the mirror, it couldn't reflect her at all.
She then had the silver-armored knight place the collected insects in front of the mirror. The blurry mirror gradually became clear, and finally, a manor appeared in the mirror.
You can even see the servants walking back and forth in the manor through the mirror, as well as Elise sitting by the window, staring blankly at a crystal.
Rumia recognized this crystal; it was a memory crystal. She had received quite a few from Iris when they toured Seria together, and Iris herself had kept quite a few as well.
"This manor seems to belong to Miss Elise. There's a high chance those insects are bait," the silver-armored knight said softly.
“Those damned bugs are provoking us,” Rumia said coldly.
She put away the mirror and said directly to the silver-armored knight, "Go to Elise's manor."
"Yes."
Having just returned to her post, Lumia quickly got back into the carriage.
……
"Not here yet?"
While maintaining her acting skills, Elise kept looking at the image crystal and waited for the arrival of the Saintess.
She's already shown such devotion, surely the Holy Maiden wouldn't be so heartless?
Just as she was lost in thought, there was a knock on the door. Elena then entered the room and said to Iris, "The person you've been waiting for has arrived."
“Okay.” Elise stood up, and after gathering her emotions, her face instantly lit up with joy.
Seeing this, Elena twitched her lips. This woman's face changed way too fast, didn't it? And she changed it so quickly.
Just then, Elise leaned close to Elena's ear and whispered, "My attitude towards you is never an act."
After saying that, Elise went downstairs with light steps.
Elena rubbed her slightly itchy ears. She didn't believe what Elise said, but her subconscious made her believe it, which made her feel very conflicted.
With a soft sigh, Elena did not go down with them. In Elise's words, bringing bodyguards would arouse suspicion.
Anyway, she didn't understand all these complicated details, so she just did as Elise said.
Elise is such a afraid of death, she probably wouldn't willingly go and die, right?
Thinking about this, Elena suddenly felt inexplicably uneasy, as if the other person had done something similar before.
She took several deep breaths before she regained her composure.
At the same time, Elise, who had come downstairs, also arrived at the front of the reception room. She knew that at such a close distance, the other party could sense her actions.
So Elise composed herself, tidied her hair and clothes, and after repeatedly confirming with her maid that everything was alright, she finally pushed open the door and entered the reception room.
Seeing Rumia sitting there, Iris quickened her pace, but realizing that this was somewhat inappropriate, she quickly readjusted her steps.
Approaching Rumia, Iris couldn't hide the surprise on her face and asked, "Miss Rumia, what brings you here?"
"I suddenly had some free time this afternoon, so I thought I'd come and visit your manor." Rumia revealed a holy and gentle smile. The effects of [Holy Face] were fully activated, and the bewitching effect even made Iris feel a little dazed.
"You won't be unhappy with me, will you?"
“How could that be!” Elise said instinctively, “It’s just that Miss Rumia’s visit was so sudden that I didn’t have time to prepare.”
Upon hearing Elise's words, Lumia also noticed that Elise was dressed in a casual, homey style and was not wearing makeup. Based on her previous observations of Elise, if she had known that she was coming, she certainly wouldn't have dressed so casually.
Rumia was in a good mood when she thought that Elise hadn't even had time to change her clothes before coming down to see her after she found out she was there.
It's a pity, though. With the full power of [Holy Face], Elise didn't even realize that she had spoken the truth, missing the awkwardness and cuteness of discovering that she had let something slip.
Having seen disgusting insects before, seeing Elise now feels like a purification of the eyes. How can Elise be so beautiful? I want to keep her by my side forever.
"By the way, I wonder if Miss Rumia has eaten yet? If not, please be sure to have your meal here."
"Okay, then I'm welcome."
"There's still some time before dinner, let me show you around the manor."
"it is good."
Afterwards, Elise led Lumia on a tour of the manor.
At the same time, the silver-armored knight and the woman in black robes began inspecting the manor.
Volume 1: Chapter 92 The Gradually Falling Saintess
At Elise's manor, she had already brought Lumia to the garden.
The garden here was meticulously arranged by Iris, costing a considerable amount of gold coins. Even Rumia was somewhat amazed when she saw it.
However, there was a very conspicuous patch of grass in the manor, which made her wonder, "What is this patch of grass?"
"This is the Morning Dew Flower Garden. Although it looks like a patch of weeds now, the Morning Dew flowers will bloom in the early morning, and then it will become very beautiful."
"Speaking of which, I've wanted to invite Miss Rumia to see the morning dew flowers bloom several times, but it's too early and I'm worried it might disturb your rest."
Upon hearing Iris's words, Rumia chuckled softly, then snapped her fingers, and the woman in black robes quickly appeared beside her.
"Let this flowerbed bloom."
The woman in black robes didn't speak, but simply reached out and gently touched the flowerbed, which was originally a patch of weeds, and instantly blossomed into a sea of flowers covered in morning dew.
Seeing this, Elise also showed a surprised expression. She looked at the flower garden and then at the woman in black robes, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
“That’s one of my subordinates, I guess that’s one of her abilities.” Rumia looked at the blooming morning dew flowers, which were indeed quite beautiful, but she still thought Iris was prettier.
"Miss Rumia is so amazing." Iris's eyes sparkled with admiration and a deep-seated love.
Although she hid it well, Rumia still discovered it. She felt that her "Holy Face" was indeed too bewitching for Iris, making her develop feelings of love for her.
Even though the group chat was like this, Linglu Bamiya did not lose any of the allure of [Holy Face Three], and a hint of possessive desire still flashed in her eyes.
The desire in her eyes was also noticed by Iris. Logically speaking, as a saint, Lumia should not have such desires, or rather, she should not have them before awakening. However, under the influence of the Pleasure Mark, she has undergone some changes.
Iris suppressed her excitement and continued showing Rumia the sights.
A moment later, Iris led Rumia to the door of her room and said, "This is my room. Would Miss Rumia like to come in and take a look?"
"May I?"
"Well, I hope you can allow me to go in and check first. It wouldn't be good if it were too messy."
"It's okay, I don't mind."
Elise looked dazed, then pushed open the door and went into the room.
Rumia entered Iris's room and glanced around briefly. The various expensive furniture and magical artifacts made the room look very cozy. The window was open, and the curtains swayed in the breeze.
On the table by the window, there were a few photographic crystals scattered on it.
Curious, Rumia picked up one of the tokens. Activating it revealed a photograph of her and Rumia taken on that day atop the clock tower.
"When I arrived, you weren't here looking at these memory crystals, were you?"
"Hmm," Elise said somewhat awkwardly.
It was at this moment that the maid came to inform Elise that the meal was ready.
Once she regained her senses, Elise said to Rumia, "Let's have our meal first."
"it is good."
As the two went downstairs, the silver-armored knight appeared behind Rumia without her noticing.
After letting Elise go first, she asked the silver-armored knight, "Did you find anything?"
The silver-armored knight stretched out his hand, revealing a crushed butterfly in his palm: "It's bait."
"Damn bugs." Rumia snorted coldly, then said, "Since they're bait, let's leave it at that for now."
"Yes."
The silver-armored knight responded and then disappeared from Rumia's side.
……
After finishing her meal, Rumia gracefully wiped her mouth and then said to Iris, "Speaking of which, I heard from the guards that you've been coming to the vicinity of the camp these past two days. Are you looking for me?"
With [Holy Face] fully activated, Rumia didn't think Iris would lie, after all, she was only at level three.
Not to mention those at the third rank, even those at the fifth rank would be affected by her [Holy Face].
"Yes, I was thinking of going to find you, but I was worried that I might disturb you, so I hesitated for a long time and still didn't ask the guard to report it."
"Since that's the case, would you like to come stay at my place for a few days?"
"Huh?" Elise looked surprised.
"If you stay at my place, you won't have to worry about whether I have time or not," Rumia said, her voice unconsciously carrying a hint of seduction.
In Lumia's view, the damned insect was provoking her by placing bait at Elise's manor, and when the church's support arrived, it was possible that the damned insect would take Elise hostage.
That would affect her to some extent.
After all, Elise is so beautiful, she didn't want to ruin her like this.
Therefore, the best choice is undoubtedly to keep her by your side, as this is the safest option.
Elise looked nervous, and even her voice trembled slightly: "If it won't bother you, I'd be happy to."
“Very good, then you can come back with me in a bit.” Rumia was very satisfied with Iris’s answer.
"Then I'll go back to my room and pack my things." After saying that, Iris hurriedly left the restaurant and went upstairs without waiting for Lumia's reply.
Just after Iris left, the silver-armored knight appeared beside Rumia and whispered, "Your Holiness, isn't it a bit... a bit... to bring someone who doesn't belong to the Church around?"
“It’s alright, she’ll join the church sooner or later.” Rumia’s voice was full of confidence.
The silver-armored knight knew that Rumia loved all beautiful things, and Iris's face was indeed beautiful, so he didn't try to persuade her any further and quickly disappeared into the shadows.
Back in her room upstairs, Elise smiled with satisfaction; she had achieved her goal.
Elise was looking forward to seeing what it would feel like for the Saintess to discover that the person she was looking for was right beside her.
Just thinking about that reaction made Elise unconsciously squeeze her legs together, and a blush rose on her fair cheeks.
After finally calming down, Elise began packing her things, deliberately avoiding tidying up the room that had been disturbed.
To prevent the elusive silver-armored knight from sneaking into her room.
Shortly after Elise left the room, the silver-armored knight suddenly appeared in her room, looked at the traces of the mess that had been disturbed and had not been tidied up, and then quickly disappeared from the spot.
Book 1: Chapter 93 Dirty Thoughts
"You mean she went straight to the headquarters of the Eternal Church?"
Upon arriving at (Elise Wu Family Yin's Nivivia Anba), after hearing Eileen Lingna's words, Lu Xiu's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
There were clearly safer and more effective methods, so she couldn't understand why Elise would risk her life. After all, going to the enemy's headquarters was far too dangerous.
I need to teach Elise a lesson when she gets back.
"I've already told you what happened. Elise told you not to worry and also asked you to keep an eye on things with the elves," Elena said calmly.
Actually, she didn't quite understand why Elise did this. She was such a afraid person, yet she was always flirting with death, whether it was this time or the last time at the ancient city ruins.
