Should I raise you too?

I only cheated you out of a few hundred pounds using the Magic Mirror Q&A, and you suddenly dumped a debt of 25 pounds on me!

Heh, I'm in debt, so you won't have it easy either! I'm going to be like the teacher, making you pay off my debts. I'll squeeze you dry at one-sixth of the market price!

Thinking of this, Elisa's mood immediately improved.

She sat up and began to plan how to get the male servants to work for her.

"Simon paid the money and got the collection. It was an artifact from the old dynasty, the only extraordinary item in the [Sun] realm that he found through intelligence from the Lighthouse."

"The fact that this item is a cultural relic gives it a premium price, but at the same time, it also makes it easy to sell; you won't lose too much money if you resell it."

It turns out they were buying extraordinary items and had already considered reselling them after using them.

In that case, we'd only lose a few tens of thousands of pounds at most, enough to break even, and neither the manservant nor I would have to be slaves anymore. I don't know why, but I feel a little regretful.

Elisa then thought that the "Scarab Badge," a transcendent item from the "Sun" realm, also possessed the power of "purification," a major effect of the Sun realm. The Scarab Badge's glowing side effect originated from the Sun realm.

What does the male servant want from the "Sun" realm of extraordinary items?

Because of "finger bones"?

"Finger bones" are clearly from the "spirit realm," and are restrained by the "sun" realm.

Did the male servant sense something was wrong with the "finger bone" and thus prepare in advance?

Sigh, it's my fault for not telling him that the archipelago is already in talks with the kingdom, and we won't have a conflict.

Elisa continued reading the log.

"Having obtained the 'Sun Disk,' Simon and Mabel left the field early."

Simon sent a new message to Elisa and boarded the carriage with Mabel. The scoundrels who were spying on the "Sun Disk" gave up their plans after seeing the Percy family crest on the carriage.

Sitting in the carriage, Simon stroked the "Sun Disc," a ritual object from the old dynasty, possessing the power to communicate with the sun, but only the priests of the old dynasty could use it, and that priestly lineage had been severed.

This is why this extraordinary item will circulate at auction as an antique.

Simon had neither priestly blood nor the need for it. He decomposed the power of the "Sun Disk" into data, leaving half in the background and injecting the other half into the surface of the "Scarab Badge".

Mabel sat opposite Simon, her chin resting on her hands, her cheeks puffed out as she stared at him.

"I thought Mr. Simon called me out to relax with me, but it turns out he just wanted me to be his wallet!" The red-haired girl had already figured out the truth before lending Simon the money, but she still took out the money.

“I’ll return it to you in a month.” Simon picked up the “Scarab Badge” and handed it to Mabel. “Keep this as collateral. Remember to keep it close to you.”

“I don’t like insect-shaped jewelry,” Mabel protested softly, taking the “Scarab Badge” and casually stringing it onto the necklace in front of her chest.

She was not a supernatural being, nor even a member of the mystical community; she simply regarded the "Scarab Badge" as a piece of gold jewelry.

Simon put away the "Sun Disk," which was now just a shell, and asked with a smile, "I'm on vacation today. Where would Baron Mabel like to go?"

“I’d like to visit the Parliament building, but only members of parliament can go in,” Mabel suggested, citing a difficult location. “I tried to sneak in before, but I got caught very quickly.”

Simon thought for a moment: "Since sneaking in won't work, how about we go in openly?"

……

"Simon and Mabel, posing as members of parliament, swaggered into the Houses of Parliament. The Percy coat of arms and their impeccable manners served as the best disguise."

Elisa sighed deeply.

With a cunning and treacherous male servant and the audacious Mabel, this group has the potential to make the front page of the "Sergei Daily".

After closing "Simon's Log", Elisa removed the "finger bone".

The teacher said that once the agreement is reached with the kingdom, the "finger bone" will be handed over to them. However, the "finger bone" is also related to the "Forest Gate" ceremony; without the finger bone, the gate cannot be opened.

Fortunately, I have the divine artifact "Fire Thief".

Elisa raised her hand, and a phantom flame flickered in and out.

In addition to the abilities shared by the artifacts, the "Fire Thief" also possesses two other abilities: "stealing" and "fate".

I am skilled in using the "Steal" ability to steal other people's items and even spells. This is why my Stealing feat is at a high level.

I cannot use the "Destiny" ability independently; I can only use it in combination with "Theft" to steal my future self's abilities, which temporarily and significantly boosts my strength, bringing me to the level of a demigod.

Using "Steal" alone, aside from the side effects of the artifact, will only consume some spiritual energy. However, using "Steal" in combination with "Fate" for a longer period of time will harm oneself.

It is said that one of my ancestors, a former user of the "Fire Thief," died because of the artifact. She "stole" too much of the future, causing it to collapse. Without a future, she suddenly fell into death.

Fortunately, all I need to do now is "steal".

Elisa took out the prepared silver finger bone, extracted some of the energy from "Alysander's Finger Bone", and poured it into the silver finger bone.

After stealing one, there's another one left; after stealing one, there are three left.

Elisa made five silver fingers, sparing the "finger bones." If she hadn't been afraid of extracting too many and causing the "finger bones" to crack, she would have collected at least ten.

Give one to the servant, and he'll be able to explore the "Forest Door" on his own. Give one to Eleanor, and she won't have to bother her servant anymore.

Give the teacher one more, there are only two left. Miss Elisa will have two for herself. If Mabel becomes a superhuman, give her one more.

Having decided on the division of the silver finger bones, Elisa put them away and reopened "Simon's Log".

Simon and Mabel arrived in the parliament hall. Mabel went to the podium, slammed her hand on the table, and shouted, "Court is in session!"

"...?"

You sneaked into the Parliament building just to shout for court to start in the Parliament hall?

The Supreme Court is right next door!

Damn it, I wanted to shout that too, why didn't you take me with you!

Elisa felt ostracized, but thankfully, Eleanor felt the same way.

Sigh, I'll go out to the charity association and then go see Eleanor.

Chapter 80 What Does It Mean We're Sisters? (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

Before receiving new instructions from her teacher, Elisa had nothing to do. This was the first time since arriving in the capital that she felt like she had nothing to do.

The etiquette has been learned, and the male servants have been successfully won over and things are on track.

In terms of social connections, she has two good friends, Eleanor and Mabel, as well as Princess Ophelia. However, she still doesn't know what kind of power Eleanor and Mabel's families actually possess.

On another ordinary day, Elisa received an invitation from Ophelia to stroll through the royal capital's botanical garden with the fourth princess.

They talked about Mabel's coming-of-age ceremony, when Crown Prince Fred said that Elisa resembled one of his juniors, and Ophelia went back to investigate and identified the person.

“Evangeline, the daughter of Duke Scarlett who was assassinated fifteen years ago. If the Scarlett family hadn’t been destroyed, they would be on the throne now,” Ophelia said.

This was the first time Elisa had heard her sister's name from someone else, and she was momentarily dazed. Her sister's face briefly flashed through her mind.

In her few memories, her older sister was the most frequent figure, more so than her father and mother. Her father was too busy, and her mother suffered from neurasthenia and needed to meditate.

When she was playing, crying, or feeling anxious and afraid, her older sister was always by her side. Her bright red hair was her deepest memory of home.

She observed Ophelia, and when the Duke's family was mentioned, Ophelia's expression was natural, as if she were talking about a complete stranger.

Is the current royal family unrelated to the conspiracy of fifteen years ago? No, Ophelia was only three or four years old fifteen years ago and wouldn't have known anything about it.

“The military has been trying to start a war lately, but most of the lawmakers are against it. Eleanor and Mabel might be in a rather awkward situation,” Ophelia said mysteriously, gossiping.

Elisa was completely confused; all she knew was that the Eleanor family was a military force and that Baron Percy was a senator.

Ophelia had to explain: "Eleanor's grandfather is General Miles, and Baron Percy is almost certain to be the next House Whip. Interestingly, General Miles is a pacifist, while Baron Percy is a hawk."

General? A strong contender for the party whip?

Even though she had already guessed that Eleanor and Mabel's families were of high status, Elisa still didn't expect their families to be in such a high position.

Although there is a marshal above the general and a parliamentary leader above the party whip, these two positions undoubtedly represent the power holders in the military and parliament, respectively.

The Eleanor family, who are in the military, are pro-peace, while the Mabel family, who are in the parliament, are pro-war, which is quite peculiar.

Elisa followed up on this topic and struck up a conversation with Ophelia.

She thought of her teacher's letter, about the islands exchanging "finger bones" for the old king. Could this be it? As long as the royal family supports peace, the flames of war can be extinguished.

During the conversation, Ophelia brought up another matter.

“When I was investigating the Scarlett family, I also discovered something interesting: the Scarlett family and the Percy family are distant relatives, and they share the same ancestor.”

Ophelia paused deliberately, waiting for Elisa to look confused before continuing, "They all have royal blood from the old dynasty, and in terms of blood purity, the Percy family is even stronger. Mabel's red hair is exactly the same as that of the Mad Queen Alysander."

The bloodline of the old dynasty? Alysander?

Elisa never expected that her family would be associated with the Mad King.

On her body are four of Alysand's finger bones. Could this be considered a kind of ancestral remains?

The cold remains of our ancestors are about to be transformed into warm achievements.

Ophelia had done a lot of research, and it was clear that she loved history. As Elisa listened, she opened "Simon's Journal".

Simon used the silver finger bone given to him by his teacher to complete a game of exploration with Eleanor.

After seeing Eleanor off, he asked Lady Maria for leave and went to Susanna's residence.

You beast! You just saw Eleanor off and then went to Susanna's place!

You went out for a night stroll with Mabel yesterday!

Speaking of which, on the day of her coming-of-age ceremony, Mabel was quite restrained and even warned the valet not to stay outside for too long, otherwise Eleanor would get upset... Oh right, Eleanor didn't know about the night out.
