At that very moment, a small, fair foot stepped on the spot where she had just been resting her head. If she hadn't dodged it, she would have definitely been stepped on in the face.
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I almost stepped on you."
A soft, gentle voice whispered in her ear. Eileen slowly opened her eyes, looked at Iris sitting on the edge of the bed, swinging her legs, and said with a displeased expression, "You did that on purpose, didn't you?"
"How could it be zero? I just got used to leaving the bed here and removing the appliances." Elizabeth looked apologetic, her eyes full of sincerity.
After being teased by Iris, Elena was no longer sleepy.

She slowly got up, moved her slightly stiff body, and then found herself lying on the bed with the little maid who had been stealing from her.
She clearly remembered last night that the little maid said she had to keep an eye on her, and then she made a makeshift bed on the floor on the other side of the bed.
Then, when she woke up, she found herself already lying in her mistress's bed.
What else could this be but embezzlement by someone in charge?
Is it for close-fitting protection?
4 The sound of the two talking woke the little maid up. She sat up groggily, and when she found herself lying on her mistress's bed, a look of panic appeared on her face.
"Miss! How did I get here?"
"I was sleeping soundly last night, and then you climbed up here. Do you want me to demonstrate what happened?" Elise said, somewhat amused.
"No, no need, I'll go make preparations now!"
Watching the little maid's hurried departure, Elise didn't care. She simply said to Elena, "Something dangerous might happen today. If there's anything you can't handle, don't hesitate to abandon me and run away."
Elena felt like she'd heard those words somewhere before, perhaps in a dream last night.
What was the content of the dream again?
It was as if he had stumbled upon a dream where a girl whose face he couldn't quite make out was being hunted by the authorities, and he was leading the dream to escape with her. Then the girl said something similar.
"Am I so beautiful that I'm mesmerized?" Elise gently poked Elena's cheek, bringing her back to her senses.
"There should be limits to narcissism."
"But you were clearly staring at me the whole time. Did I misunderstand?"
Elena opened her mouth, but when she was recalling her dream from last night, she hadn't paid any attention to her surroundings, and naturally, she hadn't noticed Elise in front of her.
(One?) l ng伊『G气?y 揪死疚芭梦
It was clearly a misunderstanding, but even if she could explain, it seemed there was no way to avoid being teased by Elise, so she chose to pretend she hadn't heard it.
Tumor-like, tightly wrapped, cold, dead phosphorus. #
But Elise clearly wasn't going to let her off so easily. She got off the bed and walked lightly to Elena's side: "Why aren't you saying anything? Did I hit the nail on the head? Don't worry, I definitely won't tell anyone."
Just as Elena was about to teach this woman a lesson, Elise took a half-step back at just the right moment to create distance between them, as if she knew Elena was about to explode.
At the same time, the little maid returned to the room, and her previously disheveled maid outfit became neat and tidy.
She glanced at the young lady and the white-haired girl with some doubt, sensing that the atmosphere between them seemed a bit strange.
"Misha, I need to change my clothes."
"Yes."
The little maid approached Iris with light steps and began her daily service.
……
"Miss, Miss Belinda wishes to see you."
When Elise, who was making preparations, heard Michael's words, a look of doubt flashed in her eyes.
The Belinda the maid mentioned was also a noblewoman, the daughter of Viscount Vaughn.
This is only her public identity. In reality, like Elise, she is also a follower of an evil god. The reason Elise became a priestess of the evil god is because of her.
Her arrival at this time is likely due to the clearing out of the base.
However, based on previous experience, she should have come on the fifth day after her rebirth. Is the reason for her coming early now due to unforeseen circumstances?

"Misha, have someone invite her to wait in the reception room. I need to change my clothes."
"Yes."
Elena glanced at Elise's dress and asked curiously, "You weren't this particular about your attire when you met me before, were you?"
“You are different. For nobles, social interaction is like a battlefield. Everything from clothing to speech and behavior is a weapon.”
"In other words, I am completely unprepared when I'm with you."
"Should I be so moved that I burst into tears and then choose to work for you for free for the rest of my life?"

"If you want, I don't mind."
"Don't dream as soon as you wake up."
After instructing the servants, Misha returned to the room and began helping Iris change her clothes.
A gorgeous and elaborate dress is quite troublesome to put on. I wonder when Elena's sister will be able to develop a magical device that allows for one-click dress-up?
Having that thing would make things much more convenient.
After resolving the troublesome matters in Shan, I'll start nurturing Wu again, even if it means abandoning my previous relationship.
"What do I need to do?"
"Change your image and dress up as a maid. Your hair is too eye-catching."
"Have it?"
"The person I want to see is someone who slipped through the net."
At this moment, Irene understood that the person in the cage had seen her sister before, so she had to pretend to be someone else.
Elena activated her disguise magic device, instantly transforming into a tall, ordinary-looking maid with little presence.
"Okay, let's go."
Elizabeth left the room with her hair down and went down to the reception room.
In the reception room sat a thin, brown-haired girl, with an equally thin servant standing behind her.
Upon seeing Elise, the thin girl stood up and greeted her with a smile: "Long time no see, Elise."
"Let's skip the pleasantries and just tell me what you need from me."
Volume 1: Chapter Twelve - The Favored One is Purged of Traitors
Belinda glanced at the two maids standing next to Elise, but did not speak.
"Don't worry, these are all my men."
"Then I'll be frank. There's a problem with our base. The bishop has disappeared, and the offerings are gone too."
"Is there such a thing?"
Belinda sighed softly, "So I contacted the rest of the people and moved to another place to discuss our next steps. You should come along too."
Elise frowned slightly: "Is that place you mentioned safe? I don't want to suddenly disappear."
"Absolutely safe."
"Okay, tell me the location and time, and I'll be there."
“This afternoon, at 147 Soth Street, there’s a food club. When you get there, show them this membership card, and someone will take you there,” Belinda said, handing Elise a membership card.
Although she came to see me earlier than expected, her actions remained the same; she simply suspected there was a traitor among them and was preparing to test the waters.
Regardless of whether they are traitors or not, they will choose to participate in order to avoid suspicion.
In other words, the gathering is when everyone is most present. Once those who know her identity disappear, no one will know that she is a follower of an evil god.
"I've delivered what I needed to say. See you this afternoon."
"Okay, see you this afternoon."
After Belinda and her entourage left, Elise said softly, "It looks like I'll need you to come with me this afternoon."
"Are you sure we can go in with you?" Elena removed her disguise and sat down on a chair nearby.
“I didn’t ask you to come in with me. You’ll go in from another place and clear out everyone inside. Don’t feel guilty; they’re all cultists.”
"how about you?"
"I'll take care of the rest."
"Miss!"
The young maid, Mio, was filled with worry. Although she shouldn't doubt her master, she knew very well that Miss Jiu was only a first-tier mage. Even if she were a follower of some evil god, her strength would never exceed the second tier.
Belinda was already at the second tier, and her follower was even at the third tier.
Elise ruffled Misha's hair: "Don't worry, I won't confront you head-on. As long as you don't reach the middle rank, I'll find a way to take you down."
This is her confidence as a gamer, a gamer who has died and been reborn countless times in this world.
……
In the afternoon, in front of 147 Soth Street.
Wine-soaked mountain, scarred mountain, group teasing
A woman with dry, yellow hair and a thin figure walked into the No Good Club.
A well-dressed waiter approached and said, "Hello, this is a private club and is not open to non-members. Please show your membership card if you wish to enter."
The woman took out a black membership card and handed it to the other person.
After checking and confirming that there were no problems, the waiter became much more respectful to the woman: "Please come with me."
Led by a waiter, the woman walked through a long corridor and came into a large room.
This place is like a banquet hall, with tables laden with all kinds of delicious food. Many people dressed in different styles are gathered here, chatting or eating.
The woman's appearance also attracted a lot of attention.
Just then, Belinda pushed through the crowd and stood in front of the woman, saying warily, "I haven't seen you before."
The ring on the woman's hand shimmered, and her image shattered like a mirror, revealing Elise to be standing before Belinda once more.
"It's broad daylight, we can't just come over without any disguise, can we?"
Seeing that it was Elise, Belinda's wary gaze relaxed: "When did you become so wary?"
"After learning that there was a problem at the base." (Wu)
"Yes, we definitely need to be careful at times like this." Qi
Elise casually found a seat and sat down, observing the actions of those around her.
Pomegranate without scars, zero neighboring 6
Those attending this gathering were all followers of the King of Gluttony, and the vast majority of them were extremely thin, constantly eating.
Elise sat there for half an hour, and those people ate there for half an hour. After the food was finished, waiters would bring out freshly baked food.
This is the effect of becoming a believer in the King of Gluttony: if sacrifices do not elicit a response from Him, the appetite grows ever stronger, as if the empty stomach can never be filled.
But the body will become increasingly thin, as if the food consumed is going into someone else's stomach.
Because Elena and Elise had taken the offerings away, the sacrificial ceremony could not be held as scheduled, which affected many believers.
If a sacrificial ceremony that satisfies Him is not held within a week, Elise estimates that these people will completely lose their minds and become monsters that devour everything in their path.
As for those believers whose bodies remained normal, they either performed sacrifices themselves or, like Elise, had only recently joined the cult, so the King of Gluttony did not have much of an effect on them.
Just then, the leader of the organization spoke.
He was a well-dressed middle-aged man with a gentle and refined voice, like an elegant gentleman.
"Everyone, I think you all know what happened. Someone attacked our altar and stole our offerings."
"Find that despicable thief, and then eat him!"
"Of course we need to find the thief, but before that, we need to appease His anger and find a suitable sacrifice before the next red moon night arrives."
