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

……

Near Elise's manor, a girl with black hair and black eyes stood outside the manor, her eyes filled with doubt.

She wondered why she was there.

The girl only remembered witnessing a kidnapping. She tried to pretend nothing had happened, but she was discovered and silenced. When she woke up again, she was on a riverbank outside the city. She must have been killed and her body dumped in the river, then carried there by the current.

Based on her past habits, if she were to be murdered, she would at least find a place to hide for a few days before considering whether to go into the city. Otherwise, if the dead person reappeared and was recognized, it would be very troublesome.

But this time, she came here as usual.

Yes, habit.

Even though it was her first time here, everything around her felt very familiar, as if she had lived here for a very long time.

Is it because of a curse?

She was cursed many times, and she knew the effects of each one very well. There shouldn't be any curse that could have such an effect on her.

"Who are you, and what are you doing here?"

The manor guards had been watching this black-haired girl for a long time. Standing at the manor gate, they made no attempt to conceal their presence and stared directly at the manor.

"May I ask, who owns this manor?"

"This is Earl Noyce's manor. If there's nothing else, please leave as soon as possible."

Since they couldn't discern the girl's background, the guards were cautious and didn't feign hostility or say anything harsh; they simply advised her to leave.

Nowadays, noblemen and noble ladies often like to dress up as commoners. If you accidentally offend them, not only will you lose your job, but you will also suffer.

The girl tried to recall, but couldn't remember anything. She memorized the surname, then turned and left, quickly disappearing into the crowd.

Watching the young woman leave Fang Lingxiang, Wu Shouwei also breathed a sigh of relief. Mingming Ni looked harmless, but when she stood in front of Ling Shemeng, he felt uncomfortable all over, as if his whole body was resisting getting close to her.

This was the first time he had ever felt this strange sensation towards a beautiful young girl.

Shortly after the girl left, Elise and her group returned to the manor.

Elise returned to her room, wrote down a shopping list, and then said to Elena, "I need you to do something for me."

"Isn't it my duty to protect you?"

“Go buy me some things. The location is in the abandoned street, Old Vic’s general store. You should know where it is. Here is the shopping list.” At the same time, Elise took out a bag of gold coins. “This is the money for purchasing supplies. The money left over after buying the items is your errand fee. How much you can keep depends on your own ability.”

"What if you get killed while I'm not around?" Yue asked.

Q: "If you can't speak properly, I suggest you don't speak!" The little maid narrowed her eyes, her killing intent undisguised.

U: "The fact that it's dead has nothing to do with you. I've already spoken to the housekeeper. If I (something unexpected) happen while you're not around, you can go to him and collect an extra month's salary."

N: "That's alright."

Elena took the list and glanced at it. There were quite a few alchemical potions and... magic scrolls on it?

In empires where magical technology is advanced, few people use magic scrolls, and they are also quite difficult to find.

Even longtime residents of the abandoned street wouldn't know much about the general store in Woodwick. How did Elise, this noble lady, know about it?

Forget it, what does this have to do with her? She's just a bodyguard without any feelings.

Before leaving, Elena still reminded her, "Be careful, I don't want another stain on my resume."

"Is this how you show concern for me? We've only known each other for less than two days, and I'm really touched." Elise's expression was gentle, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned. When it came to teasing Elena, Elise never just talked the talk.

Elena twitched the corners of her mouth. She thought, "This woman should go to the theater. As a famous actress, she should be famous throughout the Lingdi Kingdom. Maybe even people from other kingdoms will come to see her performance."

After Elena left, the little maid suddenly said to Elise with a nervous yet earnest expression, "Miss, I will definitely protect you!"

"Yes, I know." Elise skillfully ruffled the little maid's hair.

Just a moment ago she was tense, but in the blink of an eye she relaxed, and now only one thought remained in her mind.

The young lady's hands are so warm.

Iris felt like she was petting a cat, and she was thinking that next time she would make a cat ear headband for Misha to wear, which would be very cute.

Volume 1: Chapter 10 How about sleeping in my bed?

"I've bought what you wanted."

Elena, having returned to the manor, put down the bag that had been carried by the deceased Ling, and began to inventory it for Elise piece by piece.

Sleeping potion, paralyzing potion, weakness potion...

Magic Hand, Flash of Light, Invisible Wall...

In addition, there are three failed-to-make space rings, which are much more expensive than those potion scrolls.

It was clearly a failure, yet it consumed most of the budget.

"Can I ask what this thing is for?" Elena asked, picking up a twisted ring.

“Space-related items all require space stones as a medium. Even if the creation fails, they can be recycled through certain methods.”

“I know about that kind of thing, but it’s very troublesome to retrieve, and it could easily cause a spatial collapse if you’re not careful…” At this point, Elena seemed to have discovered something, “You’re not going to use it as a bomb, are you?”

"That's right. With just a little modification, this thing is so powerful that even a mid-level expert would be swallowed up by the spatial turbulence if hit by it. The only drawback is that it's expensive."

Modifying this thing is very simple; you just need to add a magic circuit inside. When you use it, you activate it with magic and then throw it out. It's simple and straightforward.

In just a few minutes, Elise had finished modifying the three rings. She tossed one of them to Elena: "This is for you. Remember not to throw it away. Each one is worth at least fifty gold coins."

"Are you sure there's no problem?" Although Elena had never witnessed a spatial collapse, she had heard a lot about it.

"It's safe as long as you don't inject magic into it. Give it back to me if you don't want it."

"Never mind, I'll keep it." This thing could save her life if used properly, so she carefully placed the ring in her inner pocket.

Then Elise gave the maid a ring. The maid put the ring away at first, and only after leaving her mistress's sight did she secretly put the ring on her ring finger.

Looking at the ring on her hand, the little maid let out a strange laugh.

……

That evening, Elena also experienced the manor's large bath.

She was all alone in the huge bath. Elise even asked her if she needed any help from the maid, but she refused without hesitation.

Feeling the sensation of soaking in hot water, Elena felt much more relaxed, and even felt the fatigue of the day leave her behind, even though she hadn't done anything special today, just run errands.

Just as Elena was enjoying her bath, she suddenly heard footsteps.

Elena habitually picked up the dagger that was placed to the side and looked at it.

Elise and her little maid also came into Elena's view.

"Why did you get in?"

"Of course I'm here to take a bath. If I get attacked while I'm taking a bath, I'll have you as my bodyguard, right?" Elise, wearing only a bath towel, smiled.

Compared to the gentle Elise, the little maid beside her still had a wary look in her eyes, filled with murderous intent.

After thinking it over, Elena felt she wasn't at a disadvantage, so she sat back down, but her eyes would still unconsciously drift towards Elise.

She wasn't interested in Elise's body; she was simply curious about what it was like for a noble lady to take a bath.

However, those eight little girls (the third maid, also) didn't know whether it was intentional or not, Ni directly stood between her and Ling Iris, blocking her view.

Elena suddenly felt a little annoyed.

After the maid Xiao Qun finished bathing, Iparis also entered the bathtub and sat opposite Ai Qilina.

Elena noticed that the noble lady, Elise, seemed completely unashamed, staring directly at her, making even Elena feel uncomfortable.

Noticing that Elena had shifted her posture slightly to a more conservative one, Elise smiled faintly: "Miss Elena is surprisingly easily embarrassed."

"what?"

Elena, as if provoked, stopped avoiding eye contact and looked directly at Iris.

Until Elise heard the little maid make a dissatisfied sound.

The cold, suspicious air seemed to dance to death.

"Misha."

"exist!"

One thing is strange and fleeting (eight) unknown?

Why don't you come along too?

"I... I'm just a maid, how can I take a bath with Miss!" Misha blushed and waved her hands repeatedly, but her eyes sparkled with excitement.

"It seems that Wu only had me and Miss Ai Linglin and I took a bath together and chatted."

The little maid was successfully provoked by those words, and she immediately said, "I'll go take off my clothes right now!"

Yes, we must not let this white-haired girl take advantage of Miss. As Miss's personal maid, I should stay with her and protect her at this time!

"You really are... full of tricks." Elena realized that Elise was using her to provoke her little maid.

"Thank you for the compliment. May I ask you a question?"

"what?"

"Does it look good?"

Elise (in her seventh episode) successfully reminded Elena that she had just (it seemed, just now) been staring intently at Elise. Although she couldn't deny that Elise had a great figure and flawless skin, she was also a woman, so why was she so captivated by her?

Misha left in a hurry and returned in a hurry, without even using a bath towel, and without even testing the temperature of the bathtub, she sat down directly next to Iris.

Once she had adjusted to the water temperature and was about to confront Elena, she discovered that Elena had already gotten up and left the bath.

But this is good, because now I can take a bath with the lady.

Miss's bathwater...

Forget it, I've been corrupted by that woman.

……

Where will I sleep tonight?

Elena, whose plans to move have been temporarily put on hold because she has to be a bodyguard, is wondering where she will sleep tonight.

Elise, already sitting on the bed, patted her large bed: "How about sleeping here?"

"[It's not okay to chat in a group, it's not okay to be angry, how can you let Miss Er sleep on a cold bed, even if I delete you...~ That's not right, [anyway, this kind of thing is absolutely unacceptable!]"

Before Elena could even respond, the little maid became anxious.

Elena wouldn't take Elise's words seriously, but after a glance at that big bed, she felt a familiar softness and comfort.

That familiar feeling resurfaced, causing Elena to furrow her brow slightly.

She walked to the window, pulled back the curtain, and looked outside. Even at night, there were still many guards patrolling the manor.

Just then, Elena seemed to sense something and glanced into the distance. She thought she had just felt someone watching them.

Although it was just a feeling, her intuition was always very accurate.

But that feeling of being spied on disappeared in the blink of an eye.

At dawn, Ailenglina's plucking eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she had just opened her eyes, leaving only a few slits.

Looking at the spotless floorboards, she silently turned over, preparing to change her position and continue sleeping.

Last night, Elise gave the choice to her and the maid, and went to bed early.

She struggled with the maid for a long time, and finally had to sleep on the floor next to Elise's bed. However, she was not a delicate person. She had slept in environments that were many times worse than this during her long adventures.

For example, dark and damp caves, dense forests teeming with monsters and poisonous insects, or even abandoned cemeteries.

Besides, the bedding is quite soft, and it feels nice to lie on it.

Just as Elena was about to fall back asleep, she seemed to sense something and subconsciously turned her head to one side.
