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

As she finished speaking, the burning church began to collapse, and Elena awoke from her dream.

She raised her hand to shield her eyes from the glaring sunlight and began to recall everything that had happened in that memory. Besides Nora, she felt that Elise was also a bit strange.

Elena felt that Elise, like herself, should be able to recall her past memories, and that the information she received might have been obtained through those memories.

If that's the case, she must remember a lot of things.

And those jokes that she always thought were just that—jokes—maybe she wasn't joking at all.

A flicker of confusion crossed Elena's eyes. She then got up, drew the curtains, and lay back down on the bed to begin preparing herself.

In her dream, Elena frowned and looked at her other self: "Why are you here again?"

Elena didn't speak, but directly controlled more than a dozen flying swords to attack her other self, each of which was coated with poison.

After being killed countless times, she came to a profound understanding that if she didn't launch a sneak attack, she would be attacked by another version of herself.

"How despicable," Elena murmured in her dream, easily releasing an equal-sized flying sword to block the sneak attack.

"But why do you think I haven't prepared anything?"

Elena suddenly felt a surge of magical energy beneath her feet, followed by the instant burst of a fiery red magic circle that blasted her into pieces.

……

At the headquarters of the Eternal Church, Elise slowly opened her eyes. She slowly propped herself up, and the blanket slipped down with her movement, revealing her alluring figure.

She just had a dream about when she bet on Elena. Back then, she died many times before she managed to survive Nora's clutches.

Unlike this time, she persuaded Nora so easily. You know, she had put in a lot of effort before when she bet on Nora.

Elise shook her head gently, not knowing why she had suddenly dreamed about this.

On another note, I actually slept in until this time today. I was originally planning to take Lumia to see the morning dew flowers, but unfortunately that didn't happen.

However, the Pleasure Mark has now deeply influenced Rumia, and she can even use its power to switch places with Rumia.

To achieve this level of influence, the branding must reach a certain degree.

Just to be on the safe side, she felt the mark needed to be deepened further.

With that in mind, Elise got up and started preparing.

After changing into a pretty dress, putting on beautiful makeup, and getting herself in the right mood, Elise left her room and came to the door of Rumia's room.

She knocked gently on the door, but instead of Rumia's usual clear and calm voice, Iris heard some strange noises.

After a while, Rumia's voice came: "Iris? Please wait a moment."

"Ok."

About ten minutes later, Lumia's room door was finally opened.

Rumia is wearing a simple white dress, just like usual, but if you look closely, you'll notice that there seems to be an unusual blush on her face.

With her pristine beauty and alluring blush, Rumia possessed an irresistible allure that made one want to defile her.

Even Elise couldn't help but feel a little moved after seeing this scene.

However, having experienced so many near-death experiences, she quickly regained control of her emotions.

Then Elise felt that something was wrong. No matter how tempting the other person was, it was unlikely that they could move her heart. It was very likely that there was something wrong with Rumia's 'holy face'.

Thinking of this, Elise also revealed a burning gaze, as if she were bewitched, her eyes filled with desire.

Iris's reaction surprised Rumia for a moment, then she quickly composed herself and reached out to pinch Iris's cheek: "You came to see me so early, is there something you need?"

Rumia's gentle voice made Iris's eyes clear again. She said shyly, "I originally wanted to ask you to go see the morning dew flowers, but I accidentally overslept, so I thought I'd come and see what you're doing."

"I was just taking care of some things, and now I'm done. Let me take you downstairs for breakfast."

Instead of letting Iris enter the room, Rumia grabbed Iris's hand and headed downstairs.

As she left, a hint of curiosity flashed in Elise's eyes. She wondered what Rumia had been doing in the room, which was why she wasn't even allowed to enter.

Could it be that they're doing something indescribable inside?

After the two finished their meal downstairs, Rumia had completely composed herself and acted as if nothing had happened. She said to Iris, "I have some time this morning, so I can accompany you around. I need to take care of other things this afternoon."

"It's okay, I'll wait for you to come back here." Although she said that, Elise's reluctance was also undisguised.

Seeing this made Rumia almost want to cancel her afternoon plans and come spend time with Iris.

However, the saintess's sense of responsibility prevailed. She touched Iris's cheek and said, "I will be back as soon as possible."

At this moment, Rumia did not realize that she was making more physical contact with Iris.

Book 1: Chapter 96 God, please forgive me

In the evening, the support from the Eternal Church arrived.

The support that came this time was not much, only a small squad of executioners, as well as the heroic spirits requested by Lumisia.

Iris, whose room was on the second floor of the compound, didn't bother to hide. She simply leaned over the balcony railing on the second floor and watched the group of people enter the compound, also getting a clear look at the heroic spirit's appearance.

A seventh-tier demon hunter possesses extremely powerful location tracking abilities when pursuing specific targets, and is also highly skilled in combat.

B-fin bell dad Siluqi'9 Qi Qun

Normally, Witchers can only demonstrate their strong combat power when facing targets such as demons and evil spirits. However, when a Witcher advances to the seventh rank, they gain the ability to target demons.

This allows Witchers to demonstrate formidable combat prowess against any opponent.

The downside is that this is a single-target attack with an extremely long cooldown, making it somewhat weak against multiple enemies. The only way to improve this is to wait until Tier 9.

However, with Vanessa around, this weakness will be compensated for.

It's a pretty good combination of Heroic Spirits, which is pretty much what Iris expected.

In fact, the most capable people are the chosen ones of the Eternal God. These chosen ones possess abilities similar to a God's-eye view, giving them a unique advantage in finding people.

However, this is the capital of the empire after all. If one were to use God's perspective here, the moment the ability was activated, one would probably be blasted into dust by the magic cannon.

That is why Elise dared to appear so boldly at the headquarters of the Eternal Church.

As for the executioner squads, they are basically led by a fifth or sixth-tier leader, supplemented by several fourth-tier fanatic squads, making them very well-coordinated.

If they faced each other head-on, it would probably be very troublesome, but here, Elise has a way to erode this squad in a short time.

The Executioner squad also noticed Elise on the second-floor balcony. Even as fanatics, they were momentarily stunned upon seeing her, as if a goddess had descended upon them.

Just then, Rumia's voice rang out: "Thank you all for your hard work. Get some rest tonight."

Upon hearing the saintess's words, the members of the executioner squad all displayed fanatical expressions.

After settling everyone in, Rumia arrived at Iris's room and gently knocked on the door.

The door was quickly opened by Elise.

Seeing the longing and admiration in her eyes, Rumia's mood brightened: "I hope I haven't disturbed your rest?"

"Of course not. By the way, I think I just saw someone come in."

“Those are all my colleagues.”

"So this is ah."

After showing appropriate curiosity, Elise didn't press the matter further, but instead pulled Rumia aside to chat about other topics.

The moonlight was beautiful tonight. Rumia watched as the silvery moonlight shone on Iris, as if draping her in a white veil, making her both holy and alluring.

As time passed, Elise suddenly covered her mouth and yawned.

It was only then that Rumia was surprised to find that it was almost midnight. She had come to find Iris at just before 10 o'clock. Time had flown by.

"You seem a little sleepy, so I won't disturb your rest."

“Um…” Iris instinctively grabbed Rumia’s sleeve, her expression a mix of nervousness and shyness: “Rumia, do you want to stay and sleep with us tonight? We can chat a bit more before bed.”

Faced with Iris's expectant gaze, Rumia instinctively wanted to agree, but she held back and didn't say it.

"Maybe next time, I have some things to take care of tonight."

"It's so cold, Dad. You should get some rest earlier." Nine Elizabeth showed a hint of disappointment, but then cheered up and gave Rumia a gentle smile.

"Ah."

Rumia nodded, then walked out of Iris's room, her steps quicker than usual. She was worried that if she stayed any longer, she might not want to leave.

After leaving Iris's room, Rumia sighed softly and then returned to her own room.

She didn't actually have anything else to do tonight, but staying by Elise's side made her restless.

Rumia thought that she could calm down if Iris wasn't around, but she tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep. She felt that Iris's image would always appear in her mind when she closed her eyes.

In the dimly lit room, Rumia slowly opened her eyes, a struggle flashing in her golden pupils.

The struggle didn't last long. A dazed look appeared in Rumia's eyes. She curled up and then tucked her hands under the covers.

Suppressed, sweet panting sounds then filled the room.

God, please forgive me.

……

A puddle of water was spilled on the ground.

Then the maid's nervous voice rang out: "I'm sorry, Your Holiness, I'll go and dry the floor right away."

Rumia looked at the water on the ground, then at the flustered maid, and said calmly, "Don't rush, take your time."

"Yes."

Shortly after the maid finished cleaning, Iris also pushed open the door and walked into the dining room. When she saw Rumia, a happy smile appeared on her face: "Good morning, Rumia."

Upon hearing Iris's voice, Rumia's lips curled into a faint smile. However, when she saw Iris, a look of disbelief flashed in her eyes, as the events of last night were still vivid in her mind.

Thinking about those things, Rumia's gaze darted away from Iris.

"Okay, you're up."

"Yeah, you look like you have dark circles under your eyes. Didn't you sleep well last night?" Iris leaned closer to Rumia, looking at her with some concern.

Faced with the sudden approach of Iris, Rumia instinctively dodged to the side, losing her usual composure.

Her movement seemed to make Elise realize what was happening, and Elise nervously took a half step back: "Yes, I'm sorry, I was a bit abrupt."

"No, it's not your fault." Seeing Iris looking somewhat aggrieved, Lumia felt a pang of sympathy.

Upon hearing her words, a smile bloomed on Iris's face again. However, this time she did not abruptly move closer to Rumia. Instead, she approached slowly and, after confirming that there were no problems, sat down beside her: "Rumia, tomorrow is the Spark Festival."

"Yes, I should be able to finish all my things today, and then I can spend the Spark Festival with you."

In Iris's eyes, Rumia, who said those words, was like an old general on a theatrical stage.

Volume 1: Chapter 97 Because she was kind

The garden, the residence of the Eternal Church.

Elise strolled among them like a flower fairy, attracting the attention of many servants. One could see the fervor in their eyes, and a strange heart-shaped mark faintly appeared deep within them.

A butterfly fluttered down onto Elise's shoulder, creating a beautiful scene in the garden.

Elise certainly wouldn't just wander around here for no reason; this butterfly was a gift from Wendy and could be used to contact her.

Contacting Wendy at the Eternal Church's headquarters is extremely dangerous, but with all the high-level combatants away, she only has Vanessa, a Heroic Spirit, by her side, and the servants and guards around her have all been bewitched by her.

Now, they have gone from being followers of the eternal God to being followers of her.

You should know that she didn't just sit idly by during the few days she was here. As soon as Rumia led her people away from the camp, Elise would find an opportunity to seduce the people here.

If you can successfully charm one person, you can definitely charm a second one, like a chain reaction.

In just a few days, she had charmed most of the people here. The only ones she hadn't charmed were those above the fifth rank and the executioner squad who had just arrived at the camp last night.

If given more time, turning this place into her base wouldn't be a problem.

When the butterfly appeared, Vanessa's gaze fell on it. However, as the butterfly emitted the aura of the earth goddess, Vanessa's gaze returned to its lifeless state, as if nothing had happened and she had seen nothing.

A faint smile appeared on Elise's lips. Just as she had thought, the aura of the Earth Goddess could affect Vanessa.

Although it's not easy for her to conduct the experiments, Wendy can do it. Even if she's discovered, it will be considered an attack, and no one will suspect her.

Unfortunately, even if the power of the Earth Goddess was injected into Vanessa's body, it would not be able to wake her from being controlled; at most, it would just make her ignore her strange behavior.

Otherwise, if she could add a seventh-tier combatant, she would have a better chance of winning tonight's battle.
