Should I raise you too?

Ignoring the photo, Elisa was quite pleased to see the male servant doing something productive, which was a rare treat.

She put down her teacup and sighed, "Life in the capital is truly peaceful and tranquil."

Chapter 82 Flirting and Running Away is Really Exciting

Simon and Maria were indeed discussing work-related matters, but not specific cleaning or management tasks; rather, they were talking about their workplace.

Simon repeated what he had said to Eve to Maria, asking if Maria would be willing to switch jobs with him if there were any changes to the work at the manor.

“Mr. Simon, in what capacity are you asking me this question? What emotional relationship do you expect me to have?” Maria raised her face, adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses, and asked Simon in return.

Her words were loaded with meaning, and her attitude was straightforward and sharp—truly befitting of the manor's housekeeper.

"Of course we're colleagues and friends," Simon said, feigning ignorance.

“If they are colleagues and friends, I don’t plan to leave unless Miss Elisa fires me,” Maria paused, “but I have agreed.”

This older sister-type housekeeper was much smarter than the younger sister-type maid; she knew that Simon's problem was not a hypothesis, but a plan.

She also took this opportunity to verbally humiliate Simon. If he were thin-skinned, he would have blushed with shame at this point, but Mr. Simon was thick-skinned.

Pretending not to understand the implied meaning, Simon welcomed Maria to his room and got up to return to his own room.

Eve and Maria were both taken care of, all preparations were complete, and now all that was left was to wait for the event to happen. After the event was over, he would take Eve and Maria and head far away to the southern continent.

In short, Mr. Simon is going to run away.

It wasn't that he wanted to run away; he had to. The first time he distributed the system to someone, it was riddled with vulnerabilities. Elisa exposed too much, and so did he.

Although he managed to fool her by playing dumb and being a riddle teller, over time, Elisa would definitely become suspicious. Once she became suspicious, she would seek confirmation, and once she did, alas, he was doomed.

In fact, Elisa had no doubt that Simon would make a move in the upcoming events, and Elisa would definitely find out.

Although Elisa is a bit slow-witted, she is not stupid. After discovering the flaws, she quickly figured out the truth, discovered the origin of the light curtain, and realized that the male servant had been toying with her and even misled her into thinking that she was toying with the male servant.

If it were any other owner, knowing the truth wouldn't be a big deal, but Mr. Simon has a thick skin and doesn't care about his owner's barking and grumbling.

But Elisa is different. In the future, she will be known as the "Blood Queen" and will be a powerful person.

Even now, with his awe of the light screen and concerns about his loyalty, Elisa is already exploiting him, reaping his gold pounds while assigning him various tasks.

Once the awe and worry have faded, Mr. Simon will be faced with endless work.

If he's busy with work, it's not so bad; Mr. Simon always finds a way to slack off.

What's more troublesome than the job is that Miss Elisa is a yandere.

This conclusion is easy to reach. It is known that Miss Elisa has the ability to turn her emotions dark, and "Blood Queen" is her dark state. It is also known that romantic love is a kind of emotion. Therefore, it can be concluded that Miss Elisa will also turn dark in romantic love. She is a yandere woman!

Miss Elisa may not have those feelings for Mr. Simon yet, but after the upcoming events, things may change.

That was the second most emotionally devastating event in Elisa's life after the massacre plot, and it was also a continuation of the massacre plot. Even if Simon tried to downplay his role, Elisa's favorability rating would skyrocket after the event ended.

Simon couldn't imagine what kind of things his master, who was stronger than him, had a domineering personality, and was also a yandere, would do to him.

Although he enjoys being a gigolo, gigolos also need freedom!

This is also why he has been constantly flirting with the maids—to hinder Elisa's romantic progress. Who would like a philandering male servant?

But he didn't dare to get too involved, fearing that Miss Elisa would settle scores with them later.

At the same time, his feigned liking for large breasts and disdain for women with small breasts was also a way of distancing himself from Miss Elisa.

He had good intentions.

In short, after the upcoming major event, and before Miss Elisa exploits and imprisons Mr. Simon, Mr. Simon is going to run away to the Southern Continent.

Just then, the crucial plot of the Southern Continent is about to begin, which will be more conducive to improving strength there, and there are also two other female protagonists there.

Traveling alone is too lonely, so taking Eve and Maria along is perfect. Maria doesn't have many relatives, and Eve only has a married older sister, making it ideal for a long journey.

Moreover, Eve is very good at taking care of people, and Maria is very good at handling affairs. Hehe, after being a manservant for so long, Mr. Simon is finally going to turn the tables and become the master!

Eve and Maria could never have imagined that Mr. Simon would take them to his own estate.

Unfortunately, Susanna has parents who can't take her with them when she leaves. In the game, she's the most famous inventor, a true money-printing machine.

Mabel and Eleanor also have large families, so let's leave that to Elisa.

Simon pondered for a long time, making sure nothing was overlooked, then asked Maria for leave and left the manor.

Today was the day he and Mabel had arranged to go shopping together.

……

After saying goodbye to Elisa, Eleanor took a carriage and returned to her manor.

She strode into the room, dismissed the maids, and closed the door.

Sitting on the soft sofa, Eleanor stretched, unbuttoned her collar, and took out the sapphire necklace.

"How is it, madam?" she asked about the necklace.

“My strength has recovered somewhat; that spirit realm ritual was of great help to me.” Lady Necklace’s voice was gentle. “Thank you, Eleanor.”

During the "Gateway in the Woods" ceremony, Eleanor gave all the spirituality she had received to the Lady of the Necklace.

“Hehe, Madam has helped me far more than that.” Eleanor picked up her tea and asked curiously, “How is Madam’s recovery going? What level are you at? Have you regained your memories?”

“It allows for the brief use of demigod-level power,” Lady Necklace replied.

"A demigod!" Eleanor exclaimed in surprise.

Lady Necklace's injuries have clearly not fully recovered, yet she is able to use the power of a demigod. What rank was she in her previous life?

He is at least a powerful demigod, and perhaps he has already come close to becoming an angel.

"In terms of memories, I recall that when I died, a skeleton attacked me, perhaps from the adjacent realms of 'calamity' or 'the undead.'" Lady Necklace fell into reminiscence.

“Skeleton? Mr. Simon said that the clue Susanna gave was a ‘finger bone.’ Could it be related to the skeleton?” Eleanor guessed.

"I can't be sure until I see that finger bone."

“Well, there’s nothing we can do about it. Mr. Simon has already given the finger bone to his teacher. Perhaps we can borrow it to take a look,” Eleanor said.

"Wait a while. I've been feeling a bit uneasy lately, like I've forgotten something important, and that important thing is about to happen."

“We’ll have to tell Mr. Simon, he’ll definitely have a way! Ah, aside from his tendency to flirt with maids, he’s very reliable.” Eleanor’s words carried a hint of resentment.

She stood up, looked at her skirt, and prepared to go out.

Lady Necklace paused for a moment, then tentatively said, "We can communicate using paper cranes."

“That won’t do. We can’t miss any details if we talk face-to-face.” Eleanor refused naturally. “Besides, we can go shopping when we get back and look at new jewelry and dresses.”

“Going there again now would be too deliberate,” Mrs. Necklace said again.

“That’s true, we’ll go tomorrow.” Eleanor sat back down on the sofa.

Chapter 83 Elisa's Disdain (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader)

Simon enjoyed a hearty breakfast and remarked on the peace and beauty of life.

"Intimacy +3"

"When intimacy reaches 250, new features are unlocked: Manor Memory Album and Simon's Message in a Bottle."

"Simon's Message in a Bottle: A Letter from Afar"

"The Manor Memories Album: A picture album containing Simon's memories of the manor."

"...?"

Two very strange functions were suddenly unlocked.

Elisa woke up feeling a little disoriented.

She clicked on the message in a bottle first.

Simon's Message in a Bottle: Empty

Is it empty? In the archipelago, a message in a bottle generally refers to an empty bottle filled with a letter expressing longing for a deceased loved one, which is then thrown into the sea, hoping that the mysterious misty sea will carry this longing to the loved one.

As more mainland tourists arrived, they rudely altered the purpose of drifting bottles, turning them into tools for writing down mailing addresses and hoping to be found by strangers far away, thus becoming pen pals.

Does the male servant's message in a bottle mean the above or the below?

You'll know when the first message in a bottle arrives.

Elisa opened the "Manor Memory Album" again, which contained many hand-painted oil paintings, including buildings, people, and many scenes with a sense of story.

Next to each picture is an introductory paragraph from the perspective of a male servant.

For example, the carriages on the estate.

"Two-Horse Landau Carriage.jpg: A Landau carriage pulled by two horses, with a folding canopy, suitable for both sunny and rainy days. This Landau carriage is a second-hand item, but in excellent condition. Simon loves this carriage very much and has used it to carry Miss Elisa, Miss Mabel, Miss Eleanor, as well as Eve and Maria. When he first set foot in the East End, Simon had to leave the carriage at the shop, specifically choosing a shady and spacious spot..."

What are you babbling about? It's so long! And it's all information I already know!

Elisa grumbled and complained, expressing her dissatisfaction with the feature and finding it utterly useless.

What a waste of busy Miss Elisa's life!

She turned off the light screen, sat up, pretended to yawn, and said to Eve who came in, "I didn't sleep well last night, I need to sleep a little longer, come and wake me up this afternoon."
