Should I raise you too?

"The effective duration of the finger bone is about to end; Simon leaves the young lady's bedroom."

They're finally gone!

Elisa rubbed her forehead wearily.

She asked Maria, "What is Simon doing?"

You guys need to go and do something about him!

Maria replied, "Mr. Simon didn't sleep last night and is resting in his room now."

He wasn't resting at all! He was following the maid around!

He even barged into my bedroom and mocked my figure!

Now, I need to think about how to reward him!

Elisa suppressed her helplessness.

At least the servant only looked and did nothing. Thinking about it that way, the servant's conduct could be considered decent, albeit only slightly.

Not all men can resist the temptation to do whatever they want to a maid.

Elisa partially affirmed the manservant's character and said to Maria, "My father may come over in the next few months, and we need to prepare a personal manservant for him."

Maria understood what the young lady meant: "I will pass on the message to Mr. Simon."

First-class male servants are not considered high-ranking servants in the strict sense. Only when one reaches the rank of personal male servant is one a true high-ranking servant and half a master of the manor.

Maria left the bedroom, and Elisa lay on the sofa, staring at "Simon's Journal" with gritted teeth.

Simon returned to his bedroom, feeling sleepy, and quickly fell asleep.

"The Young Lady's Late Night Class" is now available, even though it's not late at night.

Elisa told her maid she needed to rest for a while and entered the dream classroom. She changed the course from "Mysticism" to "Combat".

"Die, you lecherous monster!"

In the dream, Elisa swung her fist and charged at Simon.

Chapter 25 Give it to me

"Under your grueling sparring, Simon completed a combat lesson, and his fighting skills improved dramatically."

In the evening, Elisa got out of bed and stretched.

That was awesome!

She carefully reviewed the course summary and discovered that Simon had failed to improve his "fighting" level this time.

She felt a pang of guilt.

Could it be because I was in such a hurry to settle personal scores that I didn't pay attention in class?

However, the summary clearly states that the male servant's fighting skills have improved significantly.

It should be that after reaching "LV3", it becomes difficult to level up in one lesson. That's normal, since no one can learn that fast!

She then opened "Simon's Log".

Simon woke up with a start, drenched in a cold sweat. He had dreamt that he was being beaten up by a pack of red-eyed golden retrievers and curly-haired baboons.

"His mastery of combat techniques became even more refined during his battles with the golden retriever and the baboon."

Who are you calling a golden-haired baboon?!

Elisa punched the light screen.

Outside the bed curtains, her personal maid Eve noticed the commotion, lifted the curtains, and tidied her clothes.

After dinner, Elisa pretended to be tired and went to bed early.

After the master went to sleep, the servants also fell asleep. In the quiet of the night, she quietly got up and opened the balcony door.

The clouds obscured the night sky, making the ground eerily dark—perfect for robbery… no, perfect for running errands at the police station!

Tsk, the male servant took the "finger bone," and I, the master, have to clean up his mess. Really...

When we get back, we'll go to the servant's room and take the "finger bone" away, then replace it with another extraordinary item to scare him!

When the male servant wakes up tomorrow morning and finds that the "finger bone" has turned into some other extraordinary object, he will be shocked, astonished, panicked, and terrified, just like I was this morning.

Miss Elisa felt pleased, imagining the valet's bewildered expression.

She took out a gray talisman, held it between her thumb and middle finger, and whispered "Shadow" in Hermes.

The shadow beneath her feet began to sway, creeping up her ankles and covering her entire body; she became part of the shadow.

Blood spells are not suitable for stealth; shadow spells are better.

Following the shadows, Elisa quickly arrived at the police station. She climbed over the wall into the courtyard and walked along the corners of the walls, studying the layout of the police station and looking for the location of the detention cells.

As she approached the house, she stopped, looked inside with surprise, dispelled the shadow spell, and pushed open the door.

In the lobby of the police station, two officers on duty stared at her with wide eyes and menacing expressions.

She approached the two officers on duty and looked at the bloody holes in their abdomens. The blood was still warm, and their spirits had not yet dissipated.

She took out an emerald ring, put it on her finger, and held it above the officer's wound.

"Heal," she uttered in Hermes, and the emerald ring lit up, causing the officer's chest wound to heal rapidly.

"Return to life," she said, taking out another deep purple talisman. The talisman dissipated, and the officer's chest began to rise and fall again.

Elisa wiped the sweat from her forehead, thinking that the two police officers had just stepped into the land of death, and if they hadn't met her, they would definitely be doomed.

To prevent the two officers from waking up, Elisa used a "sleep-inducing" spell.

She recalled the wounds the two officers had just sustained; the wounds were fist-width wide with jagged edges, and a hand had pierced their abdomens from behind.

No human or beast can do this; it requires an extraordinary being.

Why did they attack the police station?

Elisa cautiously walked down the corridor. There were only two officers on duty at the police station. It seemed that the killer's target was not them, or rather, not just them.

Inside the cell, three prisoners lay in pools of blood: Sheldon, Charles, and George.

Their spirits have vanished.

Elisa sighed. It was cruel. Everyone's heart had been pierced. Even in the archipelago, such murders were rare.

This capital city is probably no more peaceful than the archipelago.

That makes sense, doesn't it? I, who intended to kill the emperor, am also hiding here.

Having witnessed so much death in the archipelago, Elisa's mood quickly returned to normal after stepping out of the police station.

It's unclear what the attacker's target was—was it the "finger bone"? Yet he directly killed Sheldon and the others.

Never mind, this has nothing to do with me.

Having exceeded their goal for the night, Sheldon and his two companions had completely forgotten about the "finger bone" incident.

Next, it's time to go back to the manor to retrieve the "finger bone." Let's replace it with any extraordinary item. What should we use?

I currently possess five extraordinary items, two of which are not very useful: one is "purification," and the other is "healing." ...Actually, they are both quite useful, and I'm a little reluctant to part with them.

Why not just take the "finger bone"? What belongs to the male servant is what belongs to the master!

Elisa was troubled, one thought was "equivalent exchange," and the other was "take it."

Hesitantly, she returned to the manor and used the "Shadow" spell to slip into the servant's bedroom.

She found that she no longer needed to hesitate, because she searched the entire male servant's room and used the "object-finding ritual" to look for it, but she still couldn't find the "finger bone".

"Where did you hide it!" Elisa exclaimed, kicking at the sleeping manservant.

She opened "Simon's Log" and quickly flipped through it, looking for information. But the log only showed that Simon hid a finger bone before going to bed, without mentioning where he hid it. How infuriating!

Elisa expanded her search, looking even the servants' dining room and the butler's quarters, but still found nothing.

This unscientific!

Where did you hide it?! Why didn't the "find and find ritual" work? I clearly didn't teach you the "anti-find and find ritual"!

Elisa clutched her head, forced to accept a reality.

I couldn't find the "finger bone" at all, and I couldn't stop that servant from doing whatever he wanted in the manor!

He can spy on my life anytime, just like he does this morning... This scene seems familiar; it's like I do this to him every day.

No, can a master be the same as a servant? Elisa shook off the thoughts in her mind.

What should I do...?

Miss Elisa spent the whole night in worry, keeping a close eye on Simon's "Diary" and monitoring his movements.

Simon woke up from his sleep; it was still dark outside.

After sending the edited message to Elisa, Simon stretched and carefully examined the furnishings in the room.

Windows, tables, paper and pens... everything was as usual, with no signs of burglary. As expected of a "Level 7 thief," there were absolutely no flaws.

Although there was no evidence, Simon knew that the notorious thief Elisa had entered his room the previous night.
