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

Besides Sera, Elise also brought Nora and Theresa along, and with her and the little maid, the number of people was now sufficient.

Elena really wanted to go along, but Elise gave her a place where a dragon had supposedly perished, and she needed to obtain dragon crystals to improve herself, so this mission had to be abandoned.

Elise certainly couldn't travel to the kingdom using the normal means of transportation. If she chose the normal way of travel, by the time she got to the kingdom, Hattie's grave would probably already be overgrown with weeds.

Sensing Elise's gaze, Sally also revealed an expression of 'I knew it'.

Volume 1: Chapter 394 Does cuteness have anything to do with whether you can learn magic?

A butterfly landed on Sally's shoulder, providing her with positioning support.

After pinpointing the location of the other butterfly, Sally lazily called out, "The Sally Express is about to depart. Passengers, please hold on tight."

"Alright, everyone's ready, let's get going."

Upon hearing Elise's words, Sally didn't hesitate and immediately activated a long-distance teleportation spell.

Just a few minutes later, the group appeared in a courtyard, where Elira was pacing back and forth, her face filled with anxiety.

With the arrival of Elise and the others, Elira breathed a sigh of relief and forced a smile: "You've finally arrived."

Elise could tell that Elira was extremely anxious, so she didn't waste any words and went straight into the house with her.

"Tell me the details. What exactly happened? Where did Miss Hattie go before she disappeared? Who did she meet? Tell me in detail."

“Hatey disappeared yesterday. According to her sister, she just went out shopping and then never came back. I also asked the witnesses, and they did see Hattie on the street, but they didn’t know when or where she disappeared.”

"Let me think."

Elise carefully recalled the major events that might have happened in the kingdom recently, and Hattie's disappearance was very likely related to one of them.

After a moment of contemplation, Elise seemed to remember something and said, "If I remember correctly, Hattie's family supports the Third Prince, right?"

“That’s right. His Majesty abroad is getting old, and his offspring are naturally becoming more ambitious.” Elira nodded, then said, “You mean, Hattie’s disappearance is related to those royal matters?”

"Currently, the only major issues in the kingdom, besides the war, are the struggle for the crown prince position."

Actually, it's not just these things; there are other issues as well, but they're probably not closely related to Hattie's disappearance.

When she peered into Hattie's location through the Mirror of Omniscience, she was also discovered to have seen the Mark of Order, which makes it hard not to think of the kingdom's royal family.

After all, they are descendants of the God of Order, and have been dedicated to collecting fragments of the God of Order.

In a place like the Kingdom, only they could have any connection with the God of Order.

Elira was also a reborn individual, having been reborn numerous times, and quickly connected the dots with the relevant information.

She had thought about this before, but she wasn't quite sure who Elira's disappearance was related to.

“I know you’re in a hurry, but don’t rush. If it’s related to the struggle for the crown prince position, then Miss Hattie’s safety should be guaranteed.”

Upon hearing Elise's words, Elira also thought of Hattie's background. As one of the kingdom's most famous noble families, if Hattie's disappearance was indeed related to the struggle for the crown prince position, then her safety was not a concern for the time being.

But this period of time will not be long. If Hattie is not found before the crown prince contest is resolved, then she will be in danger.

"At least, there's still plenty of time, and you can try to get more clues."

"Yes, I'll calm down."

Having been reborn hundreds of times, she quickly composed herself and discussed the specifics with Elise.

After some discussion, Elira decided to first investigate the Salom family, which is the same family that Hattie belongs to.

"We might need to stay here for a while. Where do you plan to put us up?"

"You can stay here. This is my house, and everything inside is new. Please feel free to use it."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Elise yawned lazily; she was actually quite sleepy after being woken up so early in the morning.

However, Elise did not choose to sleep. After Elaira left, she also took her little maid and left the mansion. Having finally come to the capital of the kingdom, she naturally wanted to take a good look around.

Of course, Elise wasn't just going for a simple stroll; she also planned to go out and gather some information.

The kingdom's capital, Castel, is known as the city of magic. Magicians are everywhere, and magic is extremely widespread. Even shop employees may use some simple magic.

The little maid was visiting for the first time and was full of curiosity about everything around her.

She gently tugged at Elise's sleeve and asked softly, "Miss, do you think I can learn magic?"

“My Misha is so cute, she’ll definitely be able to learn it. If you want to learn, I can take you to buy some related books.”

"Does being cute have anything to do with being able to learn magic?" The little maid tilted her head, somewhat confused about the relationship between the two.

"I say it exists, so it exists."

"Oh."

The little maid nodded obediently. If her mistress said it was related, then it must be related. She was so cute that she could definitely learn it!

Seeing that the little maid seemed genuinely interested, Elise took her directly into a bookstore and bought some books on introductory and advanced magic, which could be used not only by the little maid but also by Elena.

After buying these items, Elise took her little maid and went shopping again.

Although this is the kingdom's capital, Elise is as familiar with the place as a local.

A short while later, Elise arrived at the street where Hattie had been, accompanied by her little maid.

This street mainly sells all kinds of magical beasts. Before even entering the area, Elise could smell an unpleasant odor.

She casually took out a necklace and put it on. It was a magical device developed by Flora, used to filter the air and purify the odors in the air.

After putting on the necklace, Elise immediately felt much more comfortable.

Based on her understanding of Hattie, this street should be a place Hattie frequents, after all, as a summoner, summoning is the guarantee of one's own strength.

So Hattie would come here from time to time to see if there were any rare and powerful magical beasts she could contract.

Upon arriving at the street, Elise did not immediately inquire about Hattie's whereabouts. Instead, she found a secluded corner and waited quietly for a moment before Sally appeared before her, carrying Little White.

Sally said with a resentful look, "Next time, if you're going to bring Little White out, remember to tell me in advance, or I'll be drained dry."

"I know, it was just an accident. I didn't expect to need Little White either," Elise said somewhat embarrassedly.

Seeing that Elise had already said that, Sally didn't say anything more. She just looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, and then teleported away.

This concludes my 15-chapter update streak. Happy New Year everyone!

I originally planned to release my saved chapters and do ten consecutive updates, but then I realized I was almost at 150,000 words, so I wrote a few more chapters to round it up.

Volume 1: Chapter 395 Rebellious Disciple

"Little Bai, it's your time to shine!"

Elise gently stroked Little White's head; its fluffy fur was indeed very comfortable.

The reason she had Sally bring Little White over was that Little White could communicate well with the people here. She wasn't a beast tamer, and even if she charmed those magical beasts, she wouldn't be able to get them to tell her what she wanted to know.

But Little White is different. As a Devouring Beast, Little White was born with intelligence no less than that of humans. Otherwise, it wouldn't have deliberately disguised itself as a Shapeshifter to deceive others.

If someone actually mistakes it for a shapeshifter and buys Little White, it probably won't be long before Little White is able to escape using its various abilities.

Little White snuggled affectionately against Elise, making the little maid watching from the side a little envious.

However, the thought of being able to snuggle in her mistress's arms like Xiaobai when she sleeps at night made her less envious.

After telling Xiaobai what she needed to do, Elise carried her into a Warcraft shop.

The shop was huge, with cages around it containing all sorts of magical beasts, from ornamental creatures to ferocious ones.

At this moment, Elise acted like an ordinary noblewoman, casually browsing the shop after entering.

Upon seeing the elegantly dressed Elise, someone quickly came to greet her.

Taking advantage of this moment, Xiaobai jumped down from Iris's arms and wandered around the store casually. 4

The shop assistant ignored the seemingly harmless newbie, focusing instead on explaining the various magical beasts in the shop to the noble lady, Iris.

Elise had no interest in these magical beasts; she simply browsed around, and once Xiaobai had gathered the information he wanted, she led the group away from the shop. 5

"Any discoveries?"

Little White snuggled against Elise's chest, then shared the information it had just gathered through telepathic communication. 8

Hattie had indeed been here before, but she left after browsing around the shop. The magical beast near the entrance gave her directions.

Following the clues, Elise arrived at the next monster shop.

After gathering information for some time, Elise arrived at a secluded alley. (Eight)

Little White rubbed against Elise's leg, indicating that Hattie's scent lingered there and then disappeared. (8)

Elise carefully observed the surroundings and found that there were no signs of a fight, meaning that Hattie had been taken away without resistance.

It's unclear whether the person who took Hattie away was so powerful that Hattie couldn't even resist, or whether it was because the person who took her away was someone Hattie knew.

Elise carefully searched the alley, but found no other clues.

Unfortunately, she only has two fragments from the Mirror of Omniscience. Of the three remaining fragments that she hasn't found, one fragment can recreate events that have occurred in a certain area. If she had that fragment, she should be able to find out the reason for Hattie's disappearance very quickly.

However, the fragment was in a forbidden area, and even if she knew its location, she couldn't get it.

"Forget it, let's go back first."

"Ok."

The maid responded softly and then followed her mistress out of the alley.

The moment Elise stepped out of the alley, she heard urgent shouts: "Quick, get out of the way!"

Even if the other party hadn't made a sound, with Elise's current strength, it would have been impossible for that person to bump into her, and Elise was indeed prepared to dodge.

However, when she saw who it was, she suddenly stopped dodging.

She then collided directly with the person who had come.

However, Elise did not fall down, nor did she sway at all. She even managed to pull back the person who bumped into her.

"Yes, sorry!"

The one apologizing was a beautiful young girl with striking long pink hair, who was looking at Elise with a deeply apologetic expression.

Elise never expected that when she went out to look for a clue, she would run into a protagonist, and one that she had bet on.

Elsa Stewart.

She is one of the main characters in the Kingdom side. If you choose her as the main character in the game, the gameplay will turn into a daughter-raising game.

Players can choose to guide Elsa in different directions, leading to a variety of endings depending on her development path. She can be nurtured into a world-renowned songstress, a queen of a kingdom, a savior, or even a demon king.

Elise saw Elsa's potential and, given the many enemies in the Empire, she sent her to the Kingdom to train her.

Originally, Elise intended to groom her into a savior or queen, since that direction would maximize her own safety.

However, raising a child in real life is much more complicated than raising a child in a game. Although she did eventually raise the other person to be a savior, she also raised her to be a rebellious disciple who was all sweetness and no substance.

Recalling the past, Elise couldn't help but sigh.

"Um, is there anything else?" Elsa looked at Iris with nervousness in her eyes.

After all, Elise gives the impression of being a pure and innocent noble lady.

"You hit me, and I'm wondering how you're going to make it up to me."

"I...I have no money," Elsa said softly, her big eyes filled with tears, as if she might cry at any moment.

Elise stared straight at her. Judging from Elsa's current behavior, she did indeed seem like someone who hadn't been properly trained.

However, judging from the protagonists she has encountered so far, as long as she has bet on them, they have been able to awaken some memories from before their rebirth. Could Elsa be the same?

“I didn’t say I wanted your money,” Elise chuckled, then continued, “I’m here in Castel for sightseeing, so I’d like to find a local to be my guide. If you can show me the local culture and customs, I won’t pursue this matter.”

"If you can make me have fun, I'll even pay you. Isn't that a good offer?"

Why me?

"Because you just happened to bump into me, and you're good-looking, so having you around is pleasing to the eye. What do you think of that reason?"

Elsa seemed hesitant, but Iris didn't urge her. After a while, she finally made up her mind: "Then, you have to keep your word."

Volume 1: Chapter 396 Teacher, you've finally come to find me

"I'm curious, you were just about to refuse me, so why did you suddenly agree?" Elise asked curiously.

Although Elsa still looked nervous, she spoke much more fluently than before: "I, I don't know why, I just feel a bit close to you."

Elise nodded thoughtfully. As far as Elsa was concerned, there was nothing wrong with her performance so far, and it was pretty much as she had expected.

If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to bring Elsa into my camp again, just like before, by relying on my memories from my previous life.
