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

“I can indeed help with this, but I can’t remove many curses. The curses on her are too high-level, and there are many that I can’t even tell what type they are, so I can’t forcibly remove them with my purification power.”

"I don't expect you to solve much, just do your best."

Theresa's curse originated from the Cursed Fertile Soil, which in turn was born from the fall of the God of Curses.

Therefore, the curse on Theresa is of an extremely high level, and it is basically impossible to remove it by force using the power of purification, unless a powerful figure from the Eternal Church or even the Eternal God can be found.

To resolve curses normally, one must first determine the type of curse and find a way to remove it. For example, some curses require collecting various materials to make a potion to remove them, while others require certain rituals to be performed.

Although it's troublesome, Teresa's strength increases with each curse she breaks.

Finding a way to break the curse is the core gameplay element and main quest of the game when you choose Theresa as the protagonist.

If the game progresses to a certain stage and the number of curses removed is insufficient, the God of Curses may revive within her body.

When Elise bet on Theresa, she had already removed most of the curse from Theresa's body. However, in order to save her people, Theresa was tainted with countless curses again. In the end, it was Elise who helped her bear most of the burden, so that the God of Curses would not be revived in her body.

Of course, Elise paid the price for doing this with her life; it was Theresa who killed her with her own hands.

“That won’t do. I failed to help Master, so Master should punish me.” Rumia looked at Iris with expectant eyes, her desire undisguised.

Theresa had clearly never encountered such a perverted person before. A look of confusion appeared on her pretty and lovely face, as if she didn't quite understand why anyone would expect punishment.

Compared to the astonished Theresa, the others were clearly used to Rumia's shamelessness and didn't even give her a second glance.

"This time I won't extend the duration of your magic runes. Instead, I'm going to take out the power of pleasure you've accumulated. What do you think of this punishment?"

"what?"

Upon hearing Elise's words, Rumia's fever instantly subsided, and her entire demeanor transformed from that of a perverted, infatuated woman to one of noble purity.

The speed and magnitude of the transformation are astonishing.

Just kidding. She's been saving this up for so many days. If Elise takes it away, then all the torment she's endured during this time will have been for nothing.

Volume 1: Chapter 295 Iris, the Disliked One

"This is all I can do."

Rumia wiped the sweat from her forehead. She had basically converted all her power into purification power, but even so, she had only managed to remove a few insignificant curses from the other party.

While helping to lift the curse, Rumia also discovered that despite enduring so many curses, the other party still possessed the combat power of a third-tier being. If it were her, even if she didn't die, she would probably be weakened to the point where she couldn't even defeat an infant.

She's currently afflicted with a level three curse. If we could remove all the curses from her, I'm afraid...

This kind of thing shocked Rumia just by thinking about it, and she didn't know where Iris had found this person.

Just then, Lumia noticed that Theresa was crying.

She blinked and said, "Even though I helped you remove a few minor curses, you don't need to be this happy."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Elise tapped her on the head: "Are you blind? No matter how you look at it, this isn't tears of joy, it's tears of excessive sadness, okay?"

As Elise said, after the curse on Theresa was lifted, another memory appeared in her mind, a memory that was also a memory after Elise's death.

In that memory, countless years had passed since Elise's death. The traces of Elise were being gradually erased by time, and even the number of people who remembered her was decreasing. She even felt that she was the only one in the whole world who could remember her.

Having just snapped out of her reverie, Theresa looked at Iris in a flustered manner, her gaze as if she wanted to etch Iris's image into her soul.

“I’m here.” As Elise spoke, a look of pleasure appeared in her eyes.

Under her hypnosis, Teresa's emotions gradually calmed down.

She lowered her head and said softly, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure."

"It's nothing, I can still help you remove the curse, but looking at you, you should rest first. Anyway, there are still many days ahead, so take it slow."

"Ah."

Theresa did not refuse Igulis's suggestion. Although breaking the curse was just a matter of a moment to others, in that moment, she felt as if she had spent a very long time in her memory.

Seeing Theresa's still somewhat downcast mood, Elise smiled helplessly. It seemed that her death had really affected Theresa, and it looked like she was recalling those memories after her death.

Elise wondered if this was because Theresa possessed an immortal curse, which meant she had an enormous amount of memories, leading to this situation.

Speaking of which, since Elira is still here in Seria, I should invite her over for a chat tomorrow, and see if she knows anything about Theresa.

"Then you should get some rest. I'll head back now."

Just as Elise was about to leave Theresa's room, her clothes were suddenly grabbed.

Feeling the tugging, Elise instinctively turned around and saw Theresa hurriedly letting go. She had just seen Elise about to leave and somehow instinctively reached out her hand.

She felt subconsciously that she didn't want Elise to leave.

"Does this mean you don't want me to leave? Then I'll stay here and keep you company tonight."

"No, that's not the case."

“I don’t care, you were the one who stopped me anyway.” Elise said, walking to Theresa’s bedside, lifting the covers and getting into bed.

Theresa was stunned by Elise's smooth and effortless movements. When she came to her senses, Elise was already lying on her bed, looking at her with expectant eyes.

So the question is, what should I do now?

Theresa blinked, then looked at the clean, pretty carpet and figured she could probably make do on the floor for the night.

Seeing Theresa lie down on the ground, Elise was stunned for a moment, then sat up with annoyance: "Am I that scary!"

“Yes,” Theresa said softly.

Although her voice was soft, Elise's hearing was very sharp. After hearing Theresa's words, a barely perceptible stiffness appeared on her delicate and beautiful face.

She was actually rejected!

You know, even Theresa had never looked down on her before, but this time she was the one being looked down on!

After a moment of stunned silence, Elise got out of bed, picked up Theresa, and threw her onto the bed: "You have to sleep in this bed tonight!"

After saying that, she lay down next to Theresa and hugged her tightly with both hands and feet to prevent her from falling to the ground again.

Feeling the warm embrace and the familiar yet strange scent of morning dew and flowers, Teresa felt a sense of peace even as her body stiffened.

She instinctively wanted Elise to let her go, but seeing Elise's sullen expression, Theresa couldn't say anything.

Or... let's just forget about it, it's getting late.

Thinking of this, Teresa's body gradually relaxed. Despite being cursed with insomnia, she felt tired for the first time tonight.

……

The next day, early morning.

When Elise woke up, she was still holding Theresa tightly.

However, compared to last night, Theresa now seemed to be nestled in her arms more willingly than Elise, clinging to her even more tightly.

Looking at Theresa's sleeping face, Elise's lips curled up slightly. That little Theresa dared to look down on her last night, but now she's completely under her thumb.

Iris had intended for Theresa to sleep a little longer, but before she could even close her eyes again, Theresa had already woken up.

When Theresa woke up, she found Elise smiling at her. At first, she didn't know what was going on, but then she realized what was happening, and a faint blush rose on her fair cheeks.

"Who was complaining about me last night?"

"I...I don't know." Theresa struggled to get out of Iris's embrace. For some reason, she felt a little lost and even had an urge to go back into Iris's arms.

However, Theresa managed to restrain her impulse.

"Now that you're awake, I should get up too." Elise stood up and stretched lazily by the window.

At this moment, Theresa could even see the outline of Elise's body through the thin nightgown, but as the changing ring was activated, the nightgown on Elise was instantly replaced by an elegant long dress.

Elise turned around and smiled at Theresa: "Come for a walk with me."

Volume 1: Chapter 296 A Ghostly Encounter

The morning air was cool and refreshing.

Eliza led Theresa to the garden, since at this time of day, this was the only place to take a walk.

However, this is a good time to visit, as it's the peak blooming season for the morning dew flowers.

"Isn't it beautiful?" Elise pointed to the blooming morning dew flowers as if they were her precious treasure. Although she could force them to bloom with her life force, the ones that bloom naturally in the morning are still the most beautiful.

Looking at the beautiful flowers swaying in the wind, Theresa's eyes flashed with a sense of daze. In those suddenly added memories, she remembered that she seemed to have been growing these flowers for a long time, and she would come here almost every morning to see the flowers blooming with morning dew.

So, it was because of Elise?

"You really like morning dew flowers."

"Yes, because they are beautiful and extremely resilient. Once planted, they don't need much care. Although they bloom for a short time, you can see them again the next day."

The two stood there quietly admiring the flowers until the first rays of sunlight fell, and the blooming flowers began to wither and die.

Seeing the morning dew flowers turn back into weeds, Elise covered her mouth and yawned. Just as she was about to call Theresa back to the manor, she noticed Theresa still squatting there, staring intently at the morning dew flowers.

"There's nothing more to see, let's go back."

Hearing Iris's words, Theresa was jolted out of her reverie.

She found that in this place filled with familiar memories, she always seemed to unconsciously fall into those strange recollections.

Just as Iris was about to say something, the little maid appeared out of nowhere and approached Iris, saying, "Miss, Miss Vivian is here."

"Oh?" Elise was a little surprised, considering it was still quite early, and she wondered what Vivian wanted from her.

Although somewhat puzzled, Elise nodded and said, "Then I'll go to the reception room and wait for her."

"No need, I'm already here."

Following the direction of the sound, one could see Vivian's personal maid pushing a wheelchair into the garden.

Upon seeing Vivian, Elise smiled faintly: "You came to see me so early, did you miss me?"

The personal maid pushing the wheelchair couldn't help but twitch her lips after hearing Iris's words. Only she dared to speak to her young mistress like that, and most importantly, her young mistress not only didn't refute it after hearing it, but even nodded in agreement.

Is this still the same lady I know?

Vivian waved her hand, signaling her personal maid to go and rest.

The personal maid knew that the relationship between Vivian and Elise was not simple, so she bowed and turned to leave.

Vivian raised an eyebrow as she looked at Theresa standing next to Elise: "And who is this person next to you...?"

"My newly recruited guards."

"It seems she gets along very well with you." Vivian gave Elise a meaningful look, then glanced at Theresa.

If she remembered correctly, she seemed to have seen Elise wear the same clothes the other person was wearing some time ago.

Based on her understanding of Elise, she would never lend her clothes to a regular guard unless there was some special relationship between the black-haired girl and Elise.

Vivian didn't try to hide her gaze, so Elise could naturally sense the danger in her eyes.

Although Elise knew Vivian was a little unhappy, she remained very calm, even a little excited. She never expected Vivian to be jealous; she had never seen Vivian jealous before.

"Our relationship is indeed quite good," Elise admitted very directly.

When Teresa heard her words, she instinctively wanted to refute them, since the two had only met yesterday, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.

After all, in his memory, he and Elise had a pretty good relationship; otherwise, he wouldn't have been so saddened by her death for so long.

“And she’s also the key I mentioned before,” Elise added.

Vivian raised an eyebrow. She had heard Elise mention before that to find the most suitable place to establish the capital, one needed to pass through a forbidden area, and passing through that forbidden area required a person, who was the so-called key.

"A key? What is that?" Theresa asked, puzzled.

"I need you to take me across the cursed fertile land."

“No.” Theresa objected instinctively. As someone who had come from the cursed fertile land, she knew very well just how dangerous it was there.

"Don't worry, Lu. I know it's dangerous there, but I have a way. Trust me."

Theresa wanted to say something more, but seeing Elise's serious expression, she ultimately gave up.

If Elise insists, she can first take Elise to the outer area to see if her so-called method works. If it does, she can take her deeper; if it doesn't, she can just leave.

"So, you came to see me so early, there must be something important about it, right?"

“Hmm.” Vivian nodded, then looked at Theresa.

"We're all on the same side, so just say it directly."

"The elves are asking when you're leaving."

"Let's wait a few days. After all, someone is still alive. It'll probably be tonight. We'll talk about it after that person dies." Elise was still waiting to see a good show, and with Sally as her tool, it wouldn't take long to get to that place.
