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

"Although there was a slight mishap during the process, the outcome shouldn't change." Elise turned to Vivian, smiling, and said, "Are you ready?"

"Yes, but if we want to secretly develop during this war, we need to cross the three forbidden zones and build a stable spatial passage."

"I'll meet up with Eve tomorrow."

Staying in Seria wouldn't help Iris, and time was running out for the World Tree. If they didn't go soon, Lily might start to panic.

Speaking of which, she really wanted to see Lily become King Hasty; it seemed like it would be quite interesting.

"I'm very busy today, so I'll be leaving now." With such a big thing happening in the empire, she certainly couldn't stay out of it.

After Vivian left, Nora asked curiously, "You just said you were going to meet up with Eve? What are you planning to do? Can I come along too?"

“Okay, we still have one day. Let’s all prepare for our departure.” Elise said, and handed Elena a list and a card: “These are all the things we might need this time. Could you go to the Abandoned Street for me? The extra gold coins will be your errand fee.”

"Really?"

"of course."

Elena took the things and went to work excitedly.

The maidservant also asked at the opportune moment, "Then, Miss, what are we going to do?"

“Buy her some clothes.” Elise pointed to Theresa, who was still wearing her own clothes.

Volume 1: Chapter 303 You'll find out then.

"I... I don't need it."

Feeling the many eyes on her, Teresa shrank back a little, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

"You can't keep wearing my clothes all the time, can you? I don't mind, but it's hard not to suspect that you have some strange fetish."

If it were anyone else, they might have already started to defend themselves, except for Rumia, of course. But Theresa looked at Iris with a puzzled expression, seemingly not understanding what she meant.

Elise forgot that Theresa's awakened memories were those from after her death, so it's normal that she didn't know those terrible things. Otherwise, given Theresa's personality, she should be blushing and trying to explain herself right now.

It's a pity we won't get to see the shy Teresa.

Elise pouted, thinking with a hint of regret.

"Forget about it, don't worry about those things, just come with me."

Iris waved, and before Theresa could react, the little maid had already pushed her to catch up with Iris.

It was still on Golden Street. Although a major event had occurred last night, the area remained bustling and seemed completely unaffected. However, if you listened carefully, you could still hear people discussing the assassination of the kingdom's prince.

"Do you think the two countries might go to war if this matter isn't handled properly?"

"It's unlikely. After all, the prince isn't dead. They'll probably drag things out for a while, but a fight is probably out of the question."

Hearing the two passersby's conversation, Elise chuckled softly. If she hadn't known what was going to happen next, she might have thought the same thing.

She ignored all that nonsense and pushed open the door to Mrs. Mary's clothing store.

As soon as she entered, she heard Mrs. Mary's sweet voice: "Miss Elise, welcome!"

"I'm here to buy clothes for her. Could you please help me choose some?" Elise pushed Theresa in front of Mrs. Mary, and then casually looked at other styles of clothes in the store.

Nora had previously won her that long dress that could be transformed at will. Although it could be transformed at will, the transformation needed to be recorded in advance, and now was a good opportunity to record it.

Lady Mary frowned slightly as she looked at Theresa. She didn't know why, but despite how beautiful the girl was, she couldn't muster any interest in her.

However, since it was business after all, she didn't think too much about it and started picking out suitable clothes for Theresa.

Having never experienced anything like this before, Teresa stood there stiffly, watching Mrs. Mary compare each piece of clothing against her body.

These clothes look incredibly expensive; if only that money could be used to buy items to break the curse…

The thought of the memories that would flood back after the curse was lifted made Theresa shudder involuntarily.

It was a feeling of fear and anticipation; she didn't know why her heart was so complicated.

"What are you still daydreaming about?"

Hearing Iris's voice, Theresa came to her senses. She realized that the other woman had somehow gotten close to her. The faint scent of morning dew and flowers made her want to get closer, but she couldn't help but feel a little resistant.

"You, you shouldn't get so close."

Theresa clearly didn't realize that Elise was the kind of wicked woman with a wicked sense of humor, and the more you tried to keep her away, the more she would cling to you.

In the blink of an eye, she had already wrapped her arms around Theresa's slender waist.

Feeling Iris's restless hand, Theresa asked nervously, "What... what are you going to do?"

"I'll change your clothes. How will you know if they fit if you don't try them on?" Elise said matter-of-factly.

"I can do it myself!"

Seeing Theresa's wary expression, a bright hint of disappointment flashed in Elise's pale blue eyes, but it was quickly masked by a faint smile: "I know, go ahead and change your clothes."

Noticing the fleeting look of disappointment on Elise's face, Theresa suddenly felt a pang of heartache.

Could it be that my relationship with Elise had reached such an intimate level?

A faint blush appeared on Theresa's slightly pale face.

Elise, who had already closed the door, no longer felt any disappointment; in fact, a pleasant smile even appeared on her lips.

If Theresa had awakened her memories of the time before her death, she might have seen through her disguise at a glance, but now she was easily outmaneuvered.

Just then, the little maid slowly walked up to Elise's side and asked in a low voice, "Miss, I've never seen you interact with Theresa before, but why do you seem to know her so well?"

Not only Teresa, but she also felt a similar sense of déjà vu with Elena, Nora and others. Moreover, that feeling of familiarity was clearly not a simple contact, but more like a familiarity born from living together for a long time.

She had this question for a long time, but she never asked it, since she was just a maid and maids were not allowed to ask about their masters' affairs.

If her young mistress hadn't recently encouraged her to be bolder, she wouldn't have dared to ask such a question.

"Well, you'll find out when the time comes."

Although the little maid hasn't awakened her past life memories yet, her current fighting power is clearly influenced by those memories. She'll understand when she awakens them.

I wonder what kind of behavior the little maid would exhibit if she were to awaken those memories. If possible, Iris would not want her to awaken those painful memories.

The little maid was clearly not satisfied with the answer, but since it was her mistress, she could only pout to express her dissatisfaction.

But soon, Elise came over and rubbed her cheek against hers.

The maid, who was initially somewhat dissatisfied, was instantly won over after feeling her mistress's soft and smooth cheeks.

Of course, only Elise could so easily control the little maid.

Not long after, Theresa, having changed her clothes, emerged from the dressing room. Theresa gave off a somewhat gloomy and introverted vibe, but whether it was because of changing clothes or because of Elise, a hint of shyness appeared on her face. Combined with the clothes that Lady Mary had carefully chosen, Theresa exuded a unique charm at that moment.

The feeling of closeness brought by beautiful things, coupled with the feeling of disgust brought by hatred and curses, creates an impulse to bully Theresa when these two completely opposite feelings act on one person at the same time.

This impulse even affected Elise, but it had little impact on Elise and the others.

But Elise did not resist, which caused her to look at Theresa with a slightly morbid twist in her eyes.

At the same time, Theresa was also restraining the urge to merge Iris with herself.

Volume 1: Chapter 304 You Are the Most Important One

It took Elise most of the day to get back to the manor.

A few pieces of clothing certainly wouldn't take her too much time, but Theresa's profession was somewhat special; she was a curse sorceress.

Only in Zero Curse - Weeping Land can a similar profession be born, and the required equipment is also relatively rare. However, after browsing the black market in the ruined streets, I still managed to find something that Theresa could use.

In fact, Elise knew very well that Theresa's strongest methods were the abilities of the Pain Followers, but sacrificing pain was just too torturous, and she would not let Theresa offer pain unless necessary.

It's worth noting that Elise once followed the faith of the Goddess of Pain, and she doesn't even know how she managed to persevere back then.

Anyway, there wasn't much good flesh below her neck that time.

Shortly after Elise returned to the manor, Elena also returned after shopping. After buying her things, she still had about one hundred gold coins left on the card, which made her happy for most of the day.

The next day arrived quickly, the day Elise and her group were to set off.

This morning, Elise heard the news that the sixth princess, who was studying in the kingdom, had been assassinated in a foreign land.

All of this was within Elise's expectations. After all, if the prince hadn't died, then it was naturally the empire's people on the kingdom's side who had died.

However, these things are temporarily no longer relevant to Elise.

She glanced at the prepared crowd, then said to Sally, "It's your turn to shine."

"I see."

Recently, Elise gave her a special item that could increase her magic power. In addition, with her further control over spatial power, teleportation is no longer as difficult as before, and the teleportation distance has also increased significantly.

However, in order to lay out the insect nests, Sally did not teleport everyone to the destination all at once. Instead, she chose short-distance, high-frequency teleportation, dropping an insect egg at each location before continuing to teleport.

The insect nest can be built in just one day.

The consequences of the high-frequency teleportation were also obvious: everyone experienced motion sickness-like symptoms. When they arrived at their destination, everyone looked terrible, and some even felt nauseous.

Elise and her group's destination was a high mountain.

As soon as they arrived, they felt the biting cold wind, but they all had changing rings and instantly changed into their winter outfits.

"You finally came."

Hearing the sound, Elise turned her head and saw Eve, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, jogging towards them, her pointed ears slightly red, perhaps because of the cold.

"Long time no see." Upon seeing Eve, Elise immediately leaned over and reached out to touch her ear.

Eve was clearly surprised by Elise's actions. She paused for a moment before blushing and taking several steps back, since elves are known for their sensitive ears.

"It's only been a short time since we last met, and we're already so distant? You won't even let me touch your ear anymore," Elise said, sounding a little aggrieved.

"It's not like I ever touched your ears before," Eve said, giving Iris a disapproving look.

Isabella came along this time too. Seeing Iris touching Eve's ear, she cautiously moved closer to Iris and said, "Miss, you can touch my ears."

Seeing Isabella's slight nervousness, Elise smiled and reached out to ruffle her hair: "Okay."

Although her head was patted, Isabella, whose ears weren't touched, showed a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

The main problem was that Iris couldn't bring herself to do it. Although Isabella was quite old, she still looked like a little girl, and I felt guilty about actually touching her.

Where are your people?

"It's down the mountain; it's too cold up there." After saying that, Eve exhaled a puff of white breath, as she, being an elf, really wasn't used to this kind of place.

“Then let’s go to your camp first.” Elise snapped her fingers, and Sally activated the teleportation without hesitation. In the blink of an eye, everyone appeared at the camp at the foot of the mountain.

"Although the temperature at the foot of the mountain is not high, it is much more comfortable than up in the mountain."

The appearance of the group aroused the elves' vigilance, but when they saw that it was Elise, they lowered their guard, and many even cast expectant glances at her.

Sensing the gazes around her, Elise smiled and said, "Let's go, I'll tell you about the situation there."

Following Eve into the temporary wooden hut, which was created by the elves using magic, all that's needed is a seed, making it a very convenient ability.

As soon as Eve entered the cabin, she said impatiently, "Our people have already searched this mountain range once during this period of time, but they haven't found anything special. Is the World Tree sapling really here?"

“Of course, the World Tree is rooted in the void. As long as we find the weak point in the space, we can enter that space. However, it is extremely dangerous inside, and we cannot let too many people in. You choose a few of your clansmen to go in with me.”

"Just a few?"

"That's right, and the strength cannot exceed the seventh level."

"why?"

Eve was just about to say that several seventh-tier beings had come to the clan, and there was even an eighth-tier elder.

An elderly elf said slowly, "The space that Miss Elise mentioned may no longer be very stable, right? Too much power will accelerate the collapse of the space."

“That’s right.” Elise nodded, then continued, “The space there is very unstable; even a slight disturbance could cause a large-scale spatial collapse.”

“I understand.” Eve nodded and began to consider the candidates.

"How many of us should go in?" Nora asked curiously.

"There are three of us, including me."

"Then I'm sure I'll get one, right?" Nora's eyes sparkled with anticipation.

Elise rolled her eyes at her: "Your fighting style is a bit too reckless. I'm afraid I'll die in there with you as soon as I go in."

Nora instinctively wanted to refute, but Elise's words made so much sense that she couldn't refute them at all.

"I plan to take Elena and Sally in with me."

Elena's fighting style is versatile and she can fight both at close and long range, making her a very suitable candidate. Sally, on the other hand, is a space-type mage with strong survival abilities in that place. If anything unexpected happens, she can help them escape together.
