"You're already very tired, so close your eyes and rest for a bit." A look of pleasure appeared in Elise's eyes. She wasn't trying to seduce Isabella, but simply giving her a subtle suggestion.
Isabella felt a moment of dizziness, followed by a wave of weariness that overwhelmed her.
Seeing her swaying unsteadily, Elise helped her into the room, laid her on the bed, covered her with a blanket, and then turned and left.
Just as Elise closed Isabella's room door, she heard Elena's voice behind her: "I didn't expect you to be so nice to her."
"She's willing to stay by my side and work for free, so what's wrong with me treating her well?"
At this point, Elise smiled and moved closer to Elena, saying in a seductive tone, "If you can work for me for free, I'll treat you very well too. Want to give it a try?"
"Not interested in."
And to be fair, Elise is usually quite good to me. Even when I have nightmares, she'll come to comfort me right away.
This doesn't feel like the kind of attitude an employer should have towards a bodyguard.
"So why aren't you asleep so late? Are you worried about having nightmares again?" Elise asked curiously.
Elena turned her head away, not because she felt guilty, but because Elise was too close. This woman always seemed to have no sense of boundaries, and for some reason, she would feel nervous every time she got close to her.
"If you're worried about having nightmares again, you can sleep in my room. At least then I won't have to go to your room."
Si said, "Alright, go back to sleep now."
"I'm a little tired from walking so far today. I wish someone could carry me back to my room." Elise looked at Elena with adoring eyes.
Then she saw Elena grab her under the armpits with both hands, lift her up and carry her into the room, put her down and then close the door behind her.
Even Elise was almost laughing in anger. Considering the current situation, she decided to remember this grudge and make Elena pay for it sooner or later.
……
The next morning, Elise, who was fast asleep, vaguely heard someone opening the door.
She opened her eyes warily, but her gaze became drowsy again when she saw Vivian sitting in the wheelchair.
Lying back down on the bed, Elise asked languidly, "Do my maids now let you into my room without permission?"
"No, I sneaked in by myself." After entering Elise's room, Vivian stopped pretending and stood up to walk to the bedside.
"Coming to see me so early, are you perhaps sexually frustrated?"
"You really only think about pleasure," Vivian chuckled, casually sitting down on the edge of the bed.
"There's nothing we can do about it," Elise muttered to herself. Using the Pleasure Mark would have an effect on her, and it was a price she had to pay.
However, it wasn't the time to give in yet, and Elise was really sleepy, so she didn't make a move on Vivian, but just pulled her onto the bed and used her as a pillow.
Vivian didn't struggle; she just silently watched Elise.
"So, what's the situation with the Govis Trading Company?"
"The Chamber of Commerce is closed, and the upcoming auction has been canceled. It's said that the Sixth Prince has been very busy this morning, receiving many important figures, including the Holy Maiden of the Holy Kingdom." As she said this, even Vivian couldn't help but smile, with a hint of mockery.
"Besides, someone is already secretly searching the whole city for the elves. You'd better deal with the elf next to you."
"Don't worry, I have a solution." For the time being, Elena's disguise ring can be lent to Isabella, but that kind of thing can only fool ordinary people. Against high-level beings, that level of disguise is useless.
But it doesn't matter, Elise has plenty of ways to solve this problem.
"You said before that the Elven World Tree was about to wither. Do you have a way to revive it?"
Upon hearing this question, Elise slowly opened her eyes: "Why are you suddenly asking this?"
"I need leverage."
"Logically speaking, you should have enough leverage right now, shouldn't you?" As the emperor's illegitimate daughter, she has considerable support from powerful forces behind her. As long as she controls the empire, she can provide the elves with a peaceful land. In Elise's eyes, this leverage is already substantial enough.
"not enough."
Elise had a feeling that Vivian was planning something big, but since she had already said so, Elise didn't keep her in suspense. After recalling some information from the game, she said, "Their World Tree is beyond saving now, but I know where to find a World Tree sapling."
"This information is very valuable; you'd better not lose out on it."
Even Vivian was shocked when she heard this information, but Elise spoke as if she were talking about some ornamental saplings.
Vivian didn't say anything more, but instead began to calculate in her mind how much value she could extract from the elves using this intelligence.
But as she thought about it, her gaze involuntarily fell on Elise's sleeping face again.
Forget it, all those calculations are pointless to think about now. I should just stay with her and get some sleep.

"Wake up, it's time to get up."
Elise gently rubbed Vivian's pretty face, a faint smile on her lips. In the past, Vivian would never have allowed her to rub her like that.
Amidst the commotion, the frail girl slowly opened her eyes, and Iris sensed sadness in them.
"Did you have a nightmare?"
“No.” Vivian turned her head away, adjusting her emotions in an instant.
After falling asleep in Elise's arms, she recalled some fragments of memories. It was a memory of standing in front of an ice coffin, and in the memory, she was looking at Elise inside the ice coffin the whole time. She really wanted to know what had happened to make Elise like that.
Why couldn't I save her?
Just as Vivian was lost in thought, she suddenly felt a delicate, soft sensation on her lips, and only then did she realize that Elise had moved closer to her without her noticing.
Vivian paused for a moment, then began to awkwardly respond to the other person.
The warmth and sweetness captivated Vivian, and her slender hands unconsciously wrapped around Elise's neck.
(鹨磷尔児@厁爸d罒灵E猛
For a long time, the lips are divided.
There seemed to be a lingering connection between their lips.
"That's strange, your lips are clearly soft." Elise looked puzzled, but the pleasure in her eyes was hard to hide.
Vivian ignored his teasing and simply said, "Aren't you going to continue?"
Lingmeng also Linqi's father
Elise, who had originally wanted to tease Vivian more, was a little taken aback by Vivian's words. Was this really the Vivian she knew? Why did she seem so proactive?
"I'd like to continue, but it's time to get up and have lunch. We still have a long day ahead."
Elise said, lifting Vivian off the bed and gently placing her on the wheelchair. "Okay, wait for me a moment, I'll be right back after I wash up."
Upon hearing Elise's words, Vivian frowned, realizing that Elise hadn't washed up yet.
Oh well, it doesn't really taste like anything anyway.
Although it was supposed to be a simple preparation, it still took Elise more than half an hour to push Vivian out of the room.
As soon as she came downstairs, Elise's head maid approached her and whispered, "Miss, here is your invitation."
"Oh?"
Scar 6 Three Forest Grab Neighbor Hq$ Nine/〖House? Dad Spirit Alliance"
Elise took the invitation and glanced at it. It was an invitation to a ball, and the person who invited her was Sofia Thackeray.
The Duke of Thackeray's only daughter is highly regarded in the social circles of young nobles, and many consider it an honor to receive an invitation from her. The purpose of this ball is to welcome the saint who has recently arrived in Celia.
Elise originally didn't want to go, but considering that the saintess was there, she decided to go and take a look anyway.

"Whose invitation?" Vivian asked casually.
"It's an invitation from Miss Sophia, the only daughter of Duke Thackeray. I wonder if you've received it?"
"Don't think about it, I'll definitely have it."
Although her official identity is that of the daughter of a minor nobleman, Duke Thackeray is one of her backers, so she will definitely accept this invitation.
Elise was a little disappointed. She had originally wanted to use the American bullying meme, but now she didn't have the chance.
So, do you want to participate?
"Of course, don't you think that saintess's arrival was too sudden?"
This was a change Elise had never experienced before, and she wanted to figure out what the other party's purpose was in coming to Seria.
"Since you're going to participate, I'll just join in too."
Elena, who happened to be passing by, heard that Elise was going to the ball, so she quickened her pace, pretending that she hadn't heard anything.
Unfortunately, before she could even get close, Elise had already noticed her presence. She grabbed Elena's hand and said with a smile, "Where is my personal maid heading?"
"I'm only temporary." Elena, who had been caught, glanced sideways, trying not to attract Elise's attention, although she knew it was pointless.
"I've made up my mind. You'll come with me to the ball."
"No way, wouldn't it be better to go to Wendy's place in a place like that?"
Wendy, who was sitting at the dining table staring at the delicious food on it, looked up and looked around in confusion after hearing someone call her name.
"Wendy isn't suitable. There are many powerful people in that kind of place. If her background is exposed, how am I supposed to survive?"
That's a ball hosted by the Duke's daughter; even members of the royal family will probably be there. It would be too dangerous to take Wendy to a place like that.
Seeing Elise's serious expression, Elena sighed wistfully, "Alright, alright, what can I do? You're my employer. Don't blame me if I embarrass myself at the ball."
"It's alright, there's still plenty of time today, so it won't be a problem to teach you some proper etiquette."
"Speaking of which, we still need to prepare a suitable dress for you." She had almost forgotten when she last saw Elena in a dress.
Elena felt that things were getting more and more complicated, but she couldn't seem to escape it... Oh well, since things had come to this, she should eat first.
Isabella Zero changed into the maid outfit that Iris had prepared for her today. The elven maid looked pretty good, but her ears were too conspicuous.
Sensing Iris's gaze, Isabella nervously clutched the hem of her skirt, seemingly worried that she had done something wrong.
7. "Relax, sit down and eat with us. Lately, they've been searching for elves, so you'll have to stay home for now. I'll get you something nice in a while, and then you'll be free to move around."
Isabella, who was initially a little nervous, gradually relaxed under Iris's gentle smile. She nodded heavily before carefully walking to her seat and sitting down.
After the meal, X Elise Ling also called Fin Elena to the training ground and began to instruct her on etiquette.
1. Although it would have been the same to ask someone else to do it, Elise really enjoyed seeing Elena's reluctant but helpless expression.
It made her desires almost overflow.
Unfortunately, Elena learns too quickly. Just like when I taught her to dance before, she could basically master it after only one lesson.
Does Lu still have residual muscle memory in her body?
While Elise was puzzled, Elena was also puzzled, because when she was doing etiquette training, some images seemed to keep appearing in her mind, as if someone was teaching her these things step by step.
Looking at the blonde girl in front of her, she couldn't help but wonder if that familiar figure was Elise.
Volume 1: Chapter 76 You're More Beautiful Than the Scenery
"That's strange. You were learning so fast just now, how come you suddenly became stupid again?"
Elise looked at Elena with some doubt. Just now she was thinking that it wouldn't take long to teach Elena some basic manners.
Unexpectedly, after only a short while, the other party's movements suddenly became somewhat clumsy.
"This is my first time learning any of this. Do you expect me to learn it all at once?" Elena said impatiently, turning her head away.
"I just find it a little strange. Are you doing this on purpose so I'll teach you for a longer period of time? Actually, there's no need to go through all that trouble. Just tell me directly, and I can fulfill any request you have."
"Stop with the nonsense and get on with it."
"How dare you yell at me? I'm your employer," Elise said, feeling wronged.
Elena knew, of course, that this was Elise's act. In situations like this, all she had to do was reach out and gently poke Elise's waist to break the deadlock.
Caught off guard by the sudden attack, Elise unconsciously shifted her body, her aggrieved expression vanishing, replaced by curiosity: "How did you know I'm ticklish?"
Elise's words stunned Elena. Right, how did she know that Elise was ticklish? That action just now was so natural, as if she had repeated it countless times. Why was that?
Could it be... that blurry figure really be Elise?
Just as Elena was in a daze, Elise had already moved closer to her again and asked, "Why did you suddenly stop talking?"
"It's nothing, let's continue."
