Just as Lily was watching the images, Elise suddenly coughed twice and even reached out to tug at Lily's cheek.
Lily impatiently slapped Elise's hand away: "What? Don't disturb me while I'm watching the video."
"I really didn't want to spoil your fun, but I think it's best to watch these kinds of videos at home."
The image crystal that Elise prepared for Lily was a creation of Flora, and its clarity and smoothness were much better than ordinary image crystals.
Of course, the viewing experience is also much better; in layman's terms, it's the difference between a mobile phone and a computer.
On this bustling street, many people had already noticed the exquisite image and even recognized the two people in it. One of them was the chieftain of the Elven race and one of the current members of the Council of Hope, while the other was also a member of the Council of Hope, the great Miss Elise.
Many people who know about the relationship between the two have already given a kind, aunt-like smile.
Lily was stunned for a moment before she realized what was happening. She quickly put away the crystal in her hand. Although she was trying her best to keep a straight face and pretend that nothing had happened, her red cheeks betrayed her feelings.
She didn't say anything, but silently pulled Elise back to her home.
Once home, Lily couldn't hold back any longer and exclaimed, "Why didn't you remind me sooner?!"
"I warned you, but you were too engrossed to notice," Elise said, shrugging innocently.
"It's all over! My image is ruined! It's all your fault, you bad woman!"
Lily covered her face, deeply ashamed that she, as the chieftain of the elves and a member of the Hope Council, had done something so disgraceful in the street.
Elise really wanted to say that Lily was usually seen as cute and adorable, but considering that saying it would definitely make the other person angry, she kept quiet.
He simply reached out and gently stroked Lily's soft hair.
After a long while, Lily seemed to have thought of something, then stared intently at Elise: "You can use charm to make them lose their memories, right?"
"It's possible, but I've forgotten who was there." Jiu
"Forget it then, anyway... anyway, time will heal all wounds."
Lily was just saying it casually; she wouldn't actually ask Elise to erase those memories. Thinking about it carefully, it was just a memory of her date with Elise, nothing really. Zero
Elise, holding Lily, sat on the sofa and casually asked, "Do you remember who told me that I could do whatever I wanted after I finished my work?"
Lily, who had just relaxed, stiffened again upon hearing Iris's words: "I... I'm not finished yet!"
"Okay, let me know when you're done with your work." Wu
Lily hadn't expected Elise to give up so easily; she had even prepared her next words, but now they were all useless. Lu
That feeling of being stuck in the middle made Elise inexplicably uncomfortable.
"Speaking of which, has Vivian visited the Land of Hope recently?"
"She's in Hope's office right now; I can take you there."
"No need, I can go by myself."
Elise chuckled softly, then had the World Tree teleport her to Vivian's office.
Seeing Elise suddenly disappear, Lily blinked. Elise, who usually needed her help to get to the teleportation point, didn't need her help this time.
Could it be that his earlier display of embarrassment made this wicked woman feel sorry for him?
Thinking of this, Lily's face broke into a sweet smile.
Meanwhile, Elise, who had already been teleported to Vivian's office, silently breathed a sigh of relief. If Lily had really brought her over, Vivian would definitely have been jealous, and if she was jealous, she would have been severely punished that night.
Seeing Elise suddenly appear in her room, Vivian glanced at her and said indifferently, "You've finally decided to come see me."
"It's because Celia had a problem, there's nothing I could do." Iris walked up behind Vivian and hugged her from behind, her gentle and charming voice whispering in her ear, "Please don't be mad at me~"
Volume 1: Chapter 686 Witch, I Need Your Help to Awaken My Memories
The slightly scorching air and the sweet voice affected even Vivian somewhat.
She tried to calm her somewhat heavy breathing, then impatiently shrugged her shoulders: "Don't disturb my work. You'd be better off using this time to help me with some administrative matters."
"Um, I suddenly felt like going to the smelter to take a look."
"Go ahead, I hope you won't regret it later," Vivian said coldly.
They had already established communication with the World Tree, but after hearing Vivian's words, Iris obediently sat back down in her chair.
Before she could even speak, Vivian had already thrown a stack of documents in front of her.
This feeling made Elise feel as if she had returned to the past, to the time when she assisted Vivian.
Vivian initially thought Elise would mutter a few words, but she soon found that the other woman quickly became engrossed in her work.
With Elise joining the team, Vivian's work efficiency improved significantly, mainly because she had another person to discuss and make decisions with, and that person understood her very well.
Many problems can be solved by simply having a casual chat.
Vivian also liked this feeling.
In the evening, after finishing the last document, Elise lazily slumped onto the table, her posture outlining the beautiful curves from her back to her hips, alluring and seductive.
"It's finally over," Elise muttered softly.
"You've gotten like this in just one day? I've been this busy every day lately," Vivian said, giving Elise a disapproving look.
"Actually, I wanted to go find you when I was in Seria, but I was worried that the Sorcerer God would find out about our connection, so I didn't go."
"You went back to Seria?"
Vivian, who was resting with her eyes closed, opened them instantly upon hearing Elise's words, her expression turning extremely dangerous.
The current Seria is not the same as before. Since the success of the god-making ritual, the Magic God has completely controlled everything about Seria. If a dangerous person like Iris were to appear in Seria, it would be extremely dangerous.
"Let me explain first." Elise briefly explained to Vivian why she had returned to Seria.
However, Vivian couldn't help but reach out and grab Iris's ear: "You know that alchemist named Estella is dangerous, yet you still believe what she says. Do you think you're so great now?"
"Okay, okay, I promise I won't do anything risky next time," Elise said pitifully.
"Do you remember how many times you've said something like this?"
Although Vivian was still angry, seeing that Elise was about to burst into tears, she couldn't help but soften her movements.
Even now, she is still very afraid, afraid that one day Elise will suddenly disappear from her life.
She even considered imprisoning Elise somewhere, somewhere no one could find her, but if she did that, Elise might still not be able to escape her fate of death.
But no matter what, since this has happened, she's definitely going to teach Elise a lesson.
"You don't have anything else planned for tonight, do you?"
“Yes.” Elise had deliberately brought up the previous agreement in front of Lily because she knew Lily would definitely find an excuse to avoid it.
If she hadn't brought it up herself, given Lily's personality, she might have taken the initiative.
If Lily takes the initiative, she might be in trouble tonight.
"I need you to help me awaken my memories."
"Okay, but before we do anything that's physically demanding, I think we need to find a place to eat first."
"Let's go to my place, someone will be ready." Vivian snapped her fingers, directly connecting with the World Tree and teleporting herself and Iris back home.
……
"What will it be this time?"
Although she was about to awaken new memories, Vivian did not feel the slightest bit happy or excited.
Because she already knew the ending, now... it's just completing the story.
Just then, a familiar voice suddenly rang in her ear: "What are you thinking about?"
Upon hearing the voice, Vivian instinctively turned her head and found that Elise had somehow appeared beside her.
Even she couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in her eyes: "How did you get in?"
“The way you awakened your memories is similar to dreaming, so I tried using the power of sloth and then I came in~” Elise moved closer to Vivian and casually observed the surrounding environment.
"If I remember correctly, this should be the Duke Thackeray's meeting room, right?"
"Yes, they're discussing whether I should wear the crown."
As Vivian finished speaking, the memory of Iris stood up and said firmly, "Now is not the time. Although the competitors have all withdrawn, the empire is still in great turmoil. Both the kingdoms and the Holy Kingdom are eyeing us covetously."
"If Vivian were to take that position before these scumbags are brought out, it would be something she can't handle in her current state."
Hearing what Elise had said from her memory, Vivian silently looked at Elise beside her and asked softly, "Why are you so sure?"
"You can probably guess this, but I just know a little more about it than you do."
Of course, this understanding was something Elise gained at the cost of her life. If Vivian had simply ascended the throne as empress, she would have faced immense pressure from both the kingdom and the Holy Kingdom, ultimately dying in an assassination attempt.
"I think you must have foreseen a not-so-good future in some way."
Elise simply smiled, neither denying nor confirming. At this point, her answer was no longer important. Based on her understanding of Vivian, the fact that she could say such a thing meant that Vivian had a way to prove her guess.
I don't know if Vivian awakened some other memories.
However, this is undoubtedly a good thing for Elise.
Maybe I'll see Vivian crying soon. Just thinking about seeing her cry, even just the thought of it makes my head spin.
“I remember now, this seems to be the last meeting before I went to join the rebels. After this meeting, I became a traitor.”
"There must be other ways, right?"
"There's nothing left. If I keep dawdling, I'll die, and it will be a pointless death."
Elise was afraid of dying, but she was even more afraid of dying in vain.
Volume 1: Chapter 687 Iris's Little Secret and Confusion
Vivian silently observed Elise; Elise's words had perfectly explained the doubts in her heart.
If nothing unexpected happens, Elise should have experienced the future of becoming empress without dealing with those problems.
"Why are you suddenly looking at me like that? Shouldn't you be paying more attention to your memory?"
"There's no need. Once I wake up, these memories will naturally appear in my mind, and they will be much clearer than from an outsider's perspective."
"Have you ever thought that if you leave like this, you might never come back?"
"I know, but this is the best option I can think of." Elise smiled helplessly.
If she could, she wouldn't want to die either, but in the end, there will still be traitors who betray her. Even though she had a chance to be reborn and eliminated that traitor in advance, new traitors will appear.
It's as if that road is no longer passable.
If she hadn't been left with no other options, Elise wouldn't have given up on the protagonist she had nurtured for so long.
The situation is basically the same for everyone else.
After reaching a certain critical point, no matter what changes she makes, she cannot survive. Even if she uses the characteristic of death and rebirth to forcibly overcome the so-called death tribulation, a new crisis will still appear soon.
Until she was powerless to resist.
Recalling the despair she had experienced time and time again, a look of confusion flashed in Elise's eyes. She didn't even know how she had managed to persevere.
Could it be that dying so many times has improved one's mindset?
Just then, the scene in my memory changed; the scene that was just in the conference room suddenly transformed into the bustling streets of Seria.
You can see Elise pushing Vivian, who is in a wheelchair, as they mingle in the crowd.
"I think it was the time I secretly pushed you out that I did. Although nothing unexpected happened, I still got a severe scolding from the head maid when I got back."
Because her memories had just awakened, Vivian didn't have much of an impression yet. However, looking at herself sitting in the wheelchair, although she had a cold expression, her willingness to travel alone with Elise was enough to show her trust in Elise.
"My memory tells me that you practically begged and pleaded with me to come out?"
"Yeah, you're always stuck in your room dealing with all sorts of things, I'm just worried you'll get bored."
"It's always good to get out and relax occasionally."
"I originally wanted to take you to a more distant place, but it seemed a bit too dangerous, so we just strolled around the city."
Vivian's awakened memories are very chaotic. One moment she may be strolling through the city of Seria, and the next she may be the scene of an assassination.
If it were anyone else, this way of awakening memories would probably feel very confusing, but Vivian is always able to analyze the information she wants from these memories.
Despite it being just a memory of an assassination attempt, Vivian managed to deduce who her assassin was from the smallest clues.
It's no wonder she could guess the little secret behind Elise's rebirth.
She looked forward to the day when Vivian would realize that she had actually been killed by her many times. Perhaps... she already had a guess.
