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

"You...you've been here before?"

"Guess~"

Hearing this familiar answer, Lily pouted unhappily. Knowing that Elise wouldn't continue, she could only change the subject: "I'm planning to go back and get people to completely empty this place. What do you think?"

“Sure, you can set up a temporary ancient teleportation array right here.”

"I think so too."

Lily actually wanted to ask who the phantom that appeared when the winds of calamity were watching this place was.

Although it looked exactly like Elise, she felt that it was definitely not Elise.

Just as she was about to speak, Elise's index finger was already pressed against her lips: "There are some things you shouldn't ask."

Even Vivian found the artificial god that protected her strange.

"Oh." Seeing Iris's serious expression, Lily nodded obediently.

Volume 1: Chapter 743 Self-Destructive Impulse

That evening, Elise and her group returned to Castor and Elira's home.

Even Elira and Elena came back with them, as did the two-headed dragon lady who had just joined.

However, Lily stayed there. The ancient teleportation array had been set up, and she needed to stay there to oversee the overall situation, which would probably keep her busy for a while.

As soon as she got home, Elira couldn't wait to reclaim her throne.

Seeing Elira sprawled on the sofa in a completely unseemly manner, Iris chuckled and stomped on her bottom: "Get up and arrange a room for Aurora and Breel. Stop lazing around here."

Elira rubbed her bottom. Iris hadn't used much force, and surprisingly, it felt quite good; she even wanted to…

No, I don't want to!

After Elira performed a dramatic turnaround and was about to arrange a room for the two sisters, she seemed to remember something and muttered softly, "Why do you seem more like the owner of this place than I am?"

"It's your fault for not taking care of things usually. But I have been living here for quite a long time. How about I move to Elsa's manor sometime?"

Hearing Elise's words, Elira subconsciously said, "It doesn't have to be that complicated. You can just continue living here. It's quite nice to have some liveliness anyway. Besides, if we move to another place, we'll have to rebuild the ancient teleportation array. There aren't many ancient space stones, so it's better to save them. In case we need them later..."

Elira rattled off a long speech, the gist of which was simple: to let Elise continue living there.

Elise narrowed her eyes, leaned close to Elira, and whispered, "You wouldn't... be reluctant to let me go, would you?"

"How could that be? I just think it's unnecessary to go through all that trouble. You're already used to living here, aren't you?"

"do you know?"

"?"

Even the toughest lips feel soft when you kiss them.

Looking at Elise so close to her, at those glistening and alluring lips, a flicker of panic crossed Elira's eyes, and she even unconsciously took a half-step back.

"You say you have a strong will, but now you don't dare to look at me. If you looked at me, I wouldn't believe that your eyes are empty."

"I, I need to go arrange the rooms!" Elira grabbed the two sisters and rushed upstairs.

The two sisters, who were being pulled along, did not struggle; they simply felt like they were part of the two's game.

After finding an empty room upstairs, Elira took out a nameplate, wrote the two sisters' names on it, hung it up, and said, "This room is yours from now on. You can do whatever you want with it."

"OK, thanks."

To calm herself down, Elira took the two sisters for a walk around the mansion, giving her a basic understanding of the place.

It took Elira more than half an hour to calm down.

Even though Elise didn't use charm, she had the feeling that she was under her charm.

The feeling was so intense that she didn't know how to cope with it.

Why is that wicked woman, Elise, so good at this?!

Just as Elira was lost in thought, Iris's familiar voice suddenly rang in her ears: "It's time to eat, what are you standing here daydreaming about?"

"You, when did you get here?" Elira blinked, she hadn't even sensed the other person's presence.

"You're daydreaming. Are you still agonizing over that question from earlier?" Elise touched her lips, a hint of pleasure on her face. "There's still a chance, don't you really want to give it a try?"

Elira glanced at it subconsciously, then quickly looked away: "No, there's nothing worth trying. Compared to this, are you really going to move out?"

Do you really want me to move out?

“I…I still prefer you here. After all, it’s quite boring for me to live alone in such a big house.” Elira unconsciously started making up various reasons for herself again.

"Then I'll stay."

Elira, who was originally prepared to persuade her, suddenly froze, and her prepared words became useless.

"You might find this unbelievable, but I don't actually like change. I prefer a life that is unchanging, even if it's stagnant, it makes me feel at ease."

But in order to survive, she had to pursue change; only by changing could she survive.

Looking at Elise, who seemed somewhat dazed, Elira suddenly felt an urge to pull her into her arms, for some reason.

But halfway through reaching out her hand, Elise had already composed herself, and her familiar smile reappeared: "I accidentally told you something from my heart, don't tell anyone else, okay?"

Eli pulled his hand back halfway because of Elise's words: "Don't worry, my mouth is sealed!"

Watching Elise's retreating figure, Elira suddenly pinched her thigh. That was the witch who could destroy the world, and could even bewitch people without them noticing. What was she thinking?

However, the sadness that Elise had just shown was like a mark of the gods, firmly etched into her mind.

Just then, Elira seemed to sense something, and silently turned her head to look outside the fence, where Estella's familiar figure stood silently.

A hint of hesitation flashed in Elira's eyes, but she ultimately walked towards him.

Should I call her out?

Estella shook her head: "Her mental state has been unstable lately, and she may have strong suicidal urges. You need to keep a close eye on her during this time. I will bring Misha back as soon as possible. With her there... Xia, Elise should be able to stabilize again."

"Huh?" Elise's emotions were indeed a bit strange just now, but it shouldn't be related to self-destruction, right?

Besides, someone who's so afraid of death shouldn't be capable of doing something like that.

"sorry to bother you."

After saying that, Estella disappeared from the spot, leaving Elira completely bewildered.

What are you still standing there daydreaming about?

"I'm coming!"

A flicker of hesitation crossed Elira's eyes, but she ultimately decided not to mention what had just happened to Iris.

Why do you look at me like that?

“You’re overthinking it.” Elira quickly walked towards the restaurant. Even though she had been reborn hundreds of times, it seemed she couldn’t hide her thoughts from Iris.

Elise glanced at Elira with some suspicion, her intuition telling her that Elira was hiding something from her.

But... never mind, I'm feeling a bit tired.

Volume 1: Chapter 744 Why did you stop there?

"Although I know I'm good-looking, if you keep staring at me, I might misunderstand and think you're interested in me."

Elise sat languidly on the sofa, her long legs crossed, her delicate high heels swaying gently with her movements. Rumia, standing beside her, seemed to be hypnotized, her eyes constantly shifting back and forth as she watched the shoe-picking motion.

An awkward smile appeared on Elira's face. She had thought her secret observation was flawless, but she didn't expect that her little actions had been seen by Iris.

If she could, she wouldn't want to do something that could easily be misunderstood, but Estella's words kept echoing in her mind.

In her memory, Estella and Iris had a good relationship. Although she didn't know much about it, Iris's death led to Estella's destruction of the world, which shows that the two had a good relationship.

The fact that they have a good relationship means that Estella is unlikely to betray Iris.

Moreover, Estella had asked her to do this, so it was even less likely that she would do anything to harm Iris.

After all, if something were to happen to Elise this time, the world would probably be doomed very soon.

"I'm just appreciating beautiful things."

"Then be more open and honest. Sneaking around like this is bound to make people misunderstand."

At this point, Elise seemed to have thought of something, and a joyful smile appeared on her beautiful face: "How about you come to my room tonight, and I'll let you see as much as you want?"

"Let's forget about that kind of thing."

With just a simple sentence from Elise, she could already feel the gazes of many people falling on her. She wanted to live a few more years.

"It's pointless." Elise lowered her head, gently fiddling with her index finger, as if a voice in her ear was telling her to break it.

As the pulling became more intense and she felt the pain, a sickly smile crept onto Elise's lips.

But at that moment, Elira, who had been observing Iris, suddenly pressed down on Iris's hand, and a gentle water-based healing spell enveloped Iris's right hand.

Elira is now beginning to believe that Elise has suicidal impulses.

Even the most bored person wouldn't break a finger for amusement, right? She wondered if Elise had the mark of the Goddess of Pain, did she?

Iris, whose hand was being held, did not struggle. She simply watched Elira quietly as the other healed her injuries.

"Are you ready to throw yourself into the arms of the goddess of pain?"

"No, I'm just feeling a bit bored and want to find something to do."

A look of confusion flashed across Elise's eyes. She had clearly done something similar once before after becoming a favorite of the Goddess of Pain. Why did it feel so familiar?

"How about I tell you about my past?"

"Okay."

Seeing that Iris seemed to have calmed down, Elira silently breathed a sigh of relief. Now she just hoped that Estella could bring the little maid back as soon as possible. If Iris had another attack, she wouldn't be able to handle it!

However, she was also curious: Elise was such a afraid of death, so why did she have such a strong urge to self-destruct?

This doesn't fit her image at all as someone who's afraid of death.

True fear of death is like her own: staying away from all danger, hiding in an inconspicuous corner, trying not to show her specialness... just treating herself as an ordinary passerby.

Although she is now getting further and further away from the image of an ordinary person.

"Let me tell you about my first rebirth. I remember that I was reborn as a noble lady of the empire."

"As an ordinary maid, I never imagined that I would be reborn as the noble lady I admired. I thought I was about to reach the pinnacle of my life, but who knew... after only a few days as a noble lady, my family was suppressed by Miss Vivian and fell into ruin."

"Then I had to go back to the old ways and apply to be a maid at your house."

"Is that so?" Elise thought back carefully and realized that she had never paid attention to the signboard at all; it was usually the butler's responsibility.

"Well, I was all prepared to make a good impression on you, but who knew you would look so lost and nervous, as if you were being watched by some dangerous being and had no way to protect yourself."

"You completely ignored my deliberate performance."

"and then?"

"And then..." Then Elise died on the very night she started her job. Her head was cut off. She even witnessed Elise's death and saw the little maid crying while holding Elise's body.

After that, the little maid disappeared, and with Elise's death, her maid career was forced to come to an end.

Recalling Elira from distant memories, I suddenly found myself unable to continue speaking.

She tried to change the subject, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized that it ended with Elise's tragic death.

"Why did you stop talking?"

"Nothing particularly special happened after that." Elira glanced sideways, avoiding eye contact with Elise.

She actually wanted to ask Elise how she died, but she was afraid of upsetting her, so she chose to change the subject: "Um, what are your plans for tomorrow?"

"If you want to go on a date with me, then no; if you don't want to go on a date with me, then yes."

"Then go on a date with me tomorrow!" Elira was going all out, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one else in the living room.

Rumia, standing to the side, immediately showed a surprised expression. You see, Elera was usually most afraid of Iris, and she would always stay far away whenever Iris teased her. I never expected her to say something like that.

Not to mention Rumia, even Iris was a little surprised, but soon a pleasant smile appeared on her face: "Alright, if you dare to stand me up tomorrow, you know the consequences."

"When have I ever broken a promise to you?"

"That's true, Miss Superman."

"What kind of strange name is that?"

Elise didn't explain. Sera wasn't there, and no one could catch the joke she threw out. If the joke needed explanation, it would be even less interesting.
