After searching the entire manor, she finally spotted Hattie on the rooftop.
She grabbed the other person by the collar with her magical hand and pulled her down from the roof: "You heartless wretch, you just abandoned me here."
"Your relationship with Elise has improved, right? Besides, there are some things I can't hear about. Leaving you there would only put you in a difficult position." Hattie stuck out her tongue.
Although Hattie's words made a lot of sense, Elira still rubbed the other's cheek with some annoyance: "We should go."
"Huh!? So fast? I wanted to play with Xiaobai for a bit."
"Miss Hattie, are you looking for the Devourer?"
Hearing the sound, Hattie and Elira realized that Iris had come out at some point.
“Yes, that’s a Devourer. It’s said to be related to the Gluttonous King by blood. Does Miss Elise know where there are any more?” Hattie looked at Elise expectantly.
“I know, but what does Miss Hattie intend to offer in exchange for this information?”
"she."
Without hesitation, Hattie pushed Elira in front of her and said excitedly, "How about I give Elira to you as your maid?"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Hetty received a hard knock on the head from Elira. She wondered if she had committed some terrible sin in her past life to have such a good friend.
Volume 1: Chapter 299 Your sister Rumia is right here!
Ultimately, Elise told Hattie the possible location of the Devouring Beast. After all, Hattie was a main character, and it wouldn't hurt to have her owe her a favor.
And with Elira on Hattie's side, it feels like I can bring her to my side sooner or later.
After the two left, Elise returned to her room and saw Vivian sitting at her desk, her back to her, seemingly engrossed in something.
Elise didn't believe the other woman hadn't heard the door open, but she still walked behind Vivian, preparing to surprise her with her hand, when she heard Vivian say calmly, "You wouldn't be that bored, would you?"
"You found me, why didn't you react?"
Iris Meng, who was originally going to cover Leng Weiwei's hand, turned it (to her face) and gently kneaded her cheek a few times.
Looking back, every time I tried to do something like that to Vivian, she would ruthlessly dodge me. It's definitely good to have awakened my past life memories.
"You seem to be in a good mood?"
"Yes." Having just heard Elira's account of what happened after her death, she was in a very good mood. If it weren't for the fact that it was broad daylight, she would have liked to celebrate properly with Vivian.
"Why?" Jiu
"secret."
Iris didn't say anything, so Vivian didn't ask either, but simply handed the letter to Iris.
Elise glanced at it and saw that it described military movements at the border, a harbinger of impending war.
"Looks like it'll be tonight." (Lu)
"There's a closing banquet for the college exchange meeting tonight. Would you like to attend?"
“Of course, I’d love to see how everyone there will react.” Even though she’d seen it many times before, Elise still wanted to see it again.
"Then I'll just go through the motions too."
After saying that, Vivian prepared to leave. Although she seemed to be having a leisurely time, it was only a brief respite from her busy schedule. There were still many things waiting for her to handle.
"Take care of yourself."
"Ah."
Elise stood on the balcony and watched Vivian leave before waiting for the next guest.
The guests she was waiting for finally arrived at the manor in the afternoon.
The guest that Iris had been waiting for was Saint Miriam.
After tonight's closing ceremony, Miriam will be leaving Seria. Before leaving, she will definitely need to say goodbye to Elise, since she had previously harbored great suspicions about her.
"Miss Miriam, the master will be here shortly."
"it is good."
Miriam glanced at the maid who had led her in, feeling a sense of unfamiliarity mixed with familiarity.
I think I saw him before when I came here.
Without much thought, she began to ponder what she should say to Elise next.
Just a few minutes later, Miriam saw Elise hurriedly walk into the drawing room.
"Miss Miriam, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting," Iris said somewhat nervously.
"Not at all. It's me who should apologize for disturbing you without prior notice." Miriam's face showed a gentle smile, like a ray of sunshine streaming into the room in the morning.
Rumia, who was disguised as a maid nearby, commented that it was nothing more than a poor imitation of her.
Her thinking was not wrong. Miriam had always followed in Lumia's footsteps. After being promoted from a candidate saintess to a full saintess, she had been imitating the perfect Lumia sister in her heart.
"I wonder what brings Miss Miriam here to see me?" After Iris sat down, Rumia poured her a cup of black tea. However, while pouring the tea, Rumia very 'accidentally' spilled the tea on Iris.
"What's wrong? Can't you even do this kind of thing right?" Iris frowned slightly, looking coldly at Rumia disguised as a maid.
Hearing Iris's stern voice, Rumia trembled. Although she was extremely excited, she deliberately pretended to be nervous and scared: "No, I'm very sorry, please punish me, Master."
Seeing the trembling maid, Miriam was momentarily stunned, but she quickly remembered Iris's reputation in Seria and then felt relieved.
Elise lightly lifted her fingertip, and a flash of electricity struck the maid.
Looking at the maid who was trembling all over and even had her eyes rolled back from the electric shock, Miriam suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for her for some reason.
However, before she could even speak, Elise's punishment was already over.
Looking at Rumia slumped on the ground, Iris said calmly, "I'll let it go this time for the sake of Miss Miriam's presence. But if this happens again, you know the consequences."
"Yes." Lumia suppressed the overwhelming joy and quickly stood up beside Iris, lowering her head to use her flowing hair to cover her flushed cheeks.
The changing ring flashed with a magical light, and Iris's clothes changed instantly. An apologetic smile appeared on her face: "I'm sorry to have made Miss Miriam laugh."
"It's nothing, I think your maid did it by accident."
Iris seemed to ignore the maid, then asked Miriam with concern, "Miss Miriam, do you have any news about Miss Lumia?"
Miriam shook her head with a hint of melancholy: "Not yet, and I don't know where Sister Lumia went."
"Your sister Rumia is right here. I just punished her~"
"what?"
Miriam instinctively turned her head and found that the maid who had just been punished by Elise had turned her head at that moment. She couldn't possibly mistake that familiar face.
However, at this moment, her dear sister Rumia no longer gave off the same holy feeling as before, but instead gave off a sense of depravity.
Why, why is Sister Rumia here with Iris? Why has she become like this?
The sudden turn of events had a tremendous impact on Miriam's mental state.
It was at this moment that she saw a pair of wings covered with strange patterns grow out from behind her sister Rumia, and a strange mark appeared in her pale golden pupils.
Miriam instinctively tried to avoid eye contact with her sister Rumia, but the instant she turned her head, she saw Iris's stunningly beautiful face and the strange heart-shaped mark in her eyes.
"Relax, I'm right here with you." Rumia whispered softly in Miriam's ear, like a devil tempting one to fall, or an angel granting peace.
Under the allure of Elise and the seduction of Rumia, Miriam's tense body gradually relaxed, and a strange heart-shaped mark slowly emerged in her clear brown pupils.

"Miss Miriam."
Hearing someone calling her name, Miriam slowly opened her eyes.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Elise's stunningly beautiful face and her worried gaze.
"What's wrong with me?" Miriam asked, somewhat confused.
"Miss Miriam just fell asleep. Have you been working too hard lately? You should take care of yourself."
Logically speaking, no matter how tired Miriam was, she shouldn't have fallen asleep in front of Elise. But despite this flimsy excuse, Miriam didn't doubt it at all. She nodded and said softly, "Maybe I've been really tired lately."
“If Miss Miriam doesn’t mind, you can rest here. My manor is quite large.”
“No need.” Miriam shook her head, then stood up and said to Iris, “I came here mainly to say goodbye. If nothing unexpected happens, I will be returning to the Holy Kingdom tomorrow. If you have the chance, Miss Iris, you can visit the Holy Kingdom. I believe you will not be disappointed.”
“Okay, I will definitely go if I have the chance.” Elise got up and, together with the maid beside her, saw Miriam out of the manor.
After watching the carriage carrying Miriam drive away, Lumia, dressed as a maid, finally spoke up, "Why didn't you leave her behind?"

"If the two saintesses who came into contact with me disappeared, even a fool would know there's something wrong with me." Iris tapped Rumia's head in annoyance.
How could Rumia, as the former saintess, not see through something like this? She just wanted to be punished by Iris. It's a pity that when Miriam was around, the punishments were just so-so. If only they could be more severe and more humiliating.
Sensing the expectant gaze of Rumia Ling, Elizabeth couldn't help but twitch her lips. She could tell at a glance what this Miss Qi was thinking.
Normally, she wouldn't have paid any attention to the other person, but considering how well she had behaved just now, Elise thought for a moment and said, "I'm a little tired, can you give me a massage when we get back?"
“Yes, Master~” A look of surprise flashed in Rumia’s eyes, and then she quickly followed Iris.
Actually, seducing Miriam shouldn't have been so easy, but luckily Rumia was there to help, and the shock to Miriam's mind when she learned the truth gave Iris an opportunity.
Without Rumia's assistance, it would be quite difficult to seduce a saintess.
Of course, most importantly, Miriam is not the main character, so seduction is not difficult for her.
……
In the evening, Elise was teleported directly to the academy.
The academy was bustling tonight, as it was the closing banquet of the exchange meeting, and all the participants were dressed up for the occasion, including her.
Nora and Flora were also with Iris.
Neither of them were used to banquet occasions, especially Nora. She tugged at her thin evening gown and frowned, saying, "This dress is so inconvenient to move around in."
"Do you have any complaints about the clothes I picked out for you?" Elise narrowed her eyes, her gaze towards Nora carrying a hint of danger.
In the past, Nora wouldn't have been afraid of Elise, but ever since she had an affair with Elise, that wicked woman would drain her life force at the drop of a hat, and even with her constitution, she would definitely be weak for a while the next day.
Perhaps recalling the feeling of being completely drained, Nora glanced sideways, avoiding eye contact with Elise.
Flora glanced at Nora with some surprise. Nora had been staying with Iris for some time, and the two had seen each other quite a bit. She never expected that Nora, who was usually so carefree, would be so completely under Iris's thumb.
She seems similar to my older sister.
Although he always told her in private that he was just doing things for money and that's why he listened to Elise, how could she, as her younger sister, not know her older sister's personality? No matter what he said, he was still easily manipulated by Miss Elise.
Soon the three arrived at the banquet hall, which was already very lively. Their appearance attracted a lot of attention, and naturally, many people wanted to invite them to dance.
However, with Nora by her side, Elise didn't need to bother dealing with those problems.
"Those people are so annoying," Nora said, sounding somewhat irritated.
"You won't blame me for being too good-looking, will you?" Elise said to Nora with a smile.
Nora instinctively wanted to retort, but after seeing Elise dressed up, she couldn't bring herself to say anything.
Even she had to admit that Elise looked stunning tonight, so stunning that she wanted to hide her away and keep her to herself for a secret look.
Seeing Nora looking a little dazed, Elise extended her hand to her: "You've chased away everyone who wanted to ask me to dance, so you have to take responsibility."
"Okay." Nora was never good at dealing with Elise, so she just gave a wooden reply and gently took Elise's hand.
Elise had personally taught Nora to dance, so she didn't need any reminders from her.
In the open and prosperous empire, it's not uncommon for two beautiful girls to dance together, but what's rare is that both of them are top-tier beauties.
Nora ignored the stares of those around her; her gaze remained fixed on Elise's face, whose once awkward dance steps had somehow become practiced.
"Not bad, you didn't step on me this time."
"Don't you know who I am?" Nora's lips curled into a smug smile.
Actually, she had secretly practiced for a while last night. Of course, she didn't expect Elise to invite her to dance. It was just that the presence inside her reminded her.
For some reason, the one residing in his body seemed to care quite a bit about his relationship with Elise.
In that moment of distraction, Nora's dance steps faltered for a split second, and unsurprisingly, she stepped on Elise's foot.
"I can't help but praise him."
"I...I'll massage it for you when I get home tonight."
"it is good."
