Miss Witch, please don't leave your fragrance everywhere

Valena was slightly startled.

"Of course it's because... Huh? Albion Island is the island of our elves... How strange, fighting with humans here... Ugh...!"

Varenna suddenly covered her head and groaned in pain.

"it is as expected."

Angelica used central nervous system suppression magic to relieve Valena's pain.

"You are cursed, Miss Elf."

【Witch TIPS】

"Let me describe the feeling that other Beyonders give me? Well... it's not impossible. Let's put "Bai" last.

Then first of all, there is "Zi", the youngest among us. He is the kind of person with a strong sense of responsibility. He feels that since he has been given almost eternal life, he should do things that humans cannot do in a short lifespan.

I don’t hate Purple, after all, I was also a fool at first.”

290 The Endless Wait

"Curse? How did Miss Angel ..."

"Judging from her magic chants."

Angelica shrugged, as if it was just a trivial skill.

People who are familiar with music can tell if someone is making a mistake from their performance, and so can magicians. Experienced instructors in magic academies can tell if a magic apprentice has mastered magic from their chants, but there are only a handful of magicians in the world who can tell if a magician is under the influence of a curse from their chants.

Angelica happened to be among them.

When Valenna was chanting magic, Angelica noticed that there were discordant bytes in her magic chanting. This phenomenon occurred because she was carrying a curse.

Angelica came in front of Valena and half squatted down because of pain, so that even after her height was reduced, Angelica could still touch Valena's forehead.

By strengthening the central nervous system to suppress magic, Valena calmed down, and then Angelica began to break the curse on Valena. Although curses always set up some defensive measures similar to firewalls to prevent them from being resolved, they were nothing in front of Angelica. Having said that, Angelica was still very cautious. After all, it was impossible to judge the intentions of the curser. It was a common practice to cast a curse to torture the victim and set the protection program to self-destruct.

"……oh?"

"Miss Angel?"

Angelica did not answer Sister Alice right away. She first checked Valena's condition. Valena's eyes were dull, like a puppet being reprogrammed, basically in standby mode.

"I roughly understand what's going on with her... In short, Valenna's lover is actually dead."

"Eh?!"

"In the past, Valenna had read novels about human knight literature and developed a longing for the knight culture on the human continent. Elves generally don't like to be far away from their homeland, but there are always one or two exceptions. Valenna chose to leave her homeland and sail to the human territory to pursue her dream."

Perhaps Valenna would be disappointed. The kind of knights fighting for honor in the chivalric literature that Valenna longed for did exist, but more often than not, knights were nothing more than top thugs under the lord, and their status was below that of nobles with titles. When commoners saw them, they had to respectfully call them "Sir Knight", and that was all.

However, Valena's journey did bring her rewards after all.

"She experienced many things in the human territory. By chance, she was saved by a human magician. After that, the spark of love ignited between the two and they became lovers who transcended race."

"So... Lady Valenna's lover is a human?"

"Yes, Valenna's lover was nearly forty years old when they met."

It is difficult to say how to calculate the age difference between the two, but what is certain is that the average human age is only around sixty years old, so the time left for this odd pair of lovers is not sufficient.

"A few years ago, Valenna's lover passed away from natural causes. But Valenna still had a long life ahead of her. The life span difference between elves and humans is about three generations. Valenna loved her lover very much...she loved him so much that she decided to end her life together with her lover."

“There’s no way to get to heaven doing this.”

"This is where the contradiction arises. According to the beliefs of the elves of Valenna, if one ends his life hastily, he will not be able to be reincarnated."

Angelica believes that the elves' belief in reincarnation is just an idea, and there is no real evidence to prove that reincarnation really exists, but most magicians will hold a respectful attitude and would rather believe it than not.

"Valenna's lover tried to persuade her to continue living. He didn't want to drag her down. However, Valenna's love for him was beyond his imagination. No matter how he persuaded her, Valenna decided to die together. So, Valenna's lover cursed Valenna before he died."

"In other words... what Lady Valenna said about returning with honors was a cursed lie from the beginning?"

Angelica nodded. Valena's lover's curse tampered with Valena's memory, making Valena mistakenly believe that her lover was still alive. This was also the case with Valena's so-called agreement for honor. There was no agreement from the beginning. Everything was a lie deliberately created by Valena's lover in order to keep Valena alive.

Valenna herself is not a powerful magician, and she cannot discover that she has been deceived by herself. If a powerful magician tries to break Valenna's curse, he will receive the message left by Valenna's lover, which is what Angelica just said.

Reading memories is a very complicated magic, even Angelica cannot do it in a short time, so Angelica just narrated the information she received.

Sister Alice thought for a moment.

"Human life span is short, so he wants his elf lover to continue living... But Lady Valena's lover doesn't seem to have considered that Lady Valena will find out that she has been deceived sooner or later, as long as she continues to grow older."

Valenna's own magical aptitude is indeed not enough to discover that she is cursed, but one day she will find that her memory has been modified, because Valenna is always getting older, and when she is old, she will definitely realize that the so-called agreement contains something strange.

Did Valena's lover make a mistake? The answer is not entirely, Angelica has other opinions.

"I think Valena's lover's plan is to make Valena forget him."

“Forgotten…?”

"Valenna still has a long life ahead of her... Although her lover tampered with her memory, in the final analysis, it only made Valenna mistakenly believe that her lover was still alive and was fulfilling their agreement. But Valenna's lover will no longer contact her. As time goes by, can Valenna really continue?"

If she stayed on Albion Island to challenge the human knights, the curse that her lover had cast on her would never be fulfilled. If she waited for such a long time, her love would sooner or later wear out. Time can always change a lot, especially when it comes to feelings.

"Valena's reason for seeking death is based on her love for her lover. Therefore, if Valena wants her lover to live, he must destroy this relationship with his own hands and become a scum who deceives her with lies. As long as Valena hates him, she will no longer be obsessed with the two of them going to hell together."

291 Redemption from the Nun

The conflicts and differences between Valena and her lover are very simple. Valena loves her lover, but cannot accept that she will live alone in the world after her lover's death. Valena's lover is just the opposite. Due to his life span, he will definitely leave before Valena, but he hopes that Valena will continue to live, so he curses his lover for this.

Perhaps no one is right or wrong in this matter, it’s just that the forms of expression of love are different.

Angelica didn't have any intention of making any suggestions. She didn't want to get involved in it. Since Sister Alice was willing to redeem, it would be better to leave it to Sister Alice.

"I think... that's not good."

"Well?"

"Lady Valenna's memories belong not only to her lover, but also to herself, so I think the treatment of Lady Valenna's lover is against God's will."

"So you plan to redeem Valena?"

Angelica looked at Sister Alice with interest, and Sister Alice clapped her hands happily.

"Yes, please let me guide her. But I have a favor to ask of you. Can Miss Angel remove the curse?"

"Easy as a piece of cake."

Angelica can still remove the curse on Valenna without any side effects. Next, let's see what Sister Alice is going to do.

Sister Alice knelt down devoutly, made the sign of the cross on her forehead and chest, and muttered something.

"The promises of God cannot be abolished, and every word is firm. Faith never needs to be proven, because God will do what He says... Even if the heavens and the earth are burned, and the hills and mountains are overturned, those who believe in the Lord will see the fulfillment of the Lord's words..."

then……

She aimed at the still unconscious Valena's neck and bit it.

"Ugh...!"

Sister Alice hugged Valenna's delicate body from behind. She closed her eyes and her face was solemn, as if it was as pure as her first kiss with her lover, instead of using her sharp fangs to pierce the elf's tender skin.

Valena's face was very painful at first, but soon it became covered with sweat and flushed as if she was receiving a foot massage, and she made strange moans inarticulately. Sister Alice's sudden bloodsucking did not end. No, was this really a bloodsucking behavior?

"Master, that is..."

"First Embrace."

Angelica recognized what Sister Alice was doing. She was actually producing offspring in front of others... What a bold woman...

The first embrace is the only legitimate way for vampires to reproduce and expand their clans. It is essentially a very tedious and dangerous process. Sister Alice sucked blood out of Valena's body through her teeth and injected her own blood into her body. Anyone with medical knowledge knows that blood transfusion itself is risky, not to mention this kind of large-scale blood transfusion that is completely lethal.

The First Embrace of a vampire could also result in failure, directly turning the opponent into a mentally retarded walking corpse, but Sister Alice seemed to be very skilled, and nothing unexpected happened until she completed the blood transfusion for Valenna.

“I… eh…?”

Valenna was at a loss. When she opened her eyes, the color of her pupils had turned blood red, which was undoubtedly the proof that the First Embrace was successful.

Sister Alice still had a smile on her face, but it was a weak smile, which was the aftereffect of the First Embrace.

"You're awake. Lady Valenna."

"……………………"

Since the curse of tampering with memory was broken by Angelica, Valena is no longer deceived after recovery. Memories keep coming back, and the scene of her old lover ending his life in bed once again floats into Valena's mind.

She regained her memory and realized clearly that there was no agreement and her lover was long gone.

Tears rolled down Valena's face. Valena's lover might not have expected that even though the person he loved knew he was cheating, she still loved him unwaveringly and even her original thoughts had not changed.

Valena picked up the rapier without hesitation and slashed it at her throat, blood spurting out. Anna had the ability to save Valena, but she did not move after confirming with her master. As for Angelica, she had already vaguely guessed what Sister Alice was doing.

The wound was enough to kill an elf, but Valenna did not die. The shocking wound on her neck healed itself.

“………………I, what’s wrong with me?”

"You can't end your life, Lady Valenna."

"what did you do to me?"

"Redemption. I am saving a lost soul. This world will eventually be made into a paradise by God's most loyal servants. I will let Lady Valenna see it, so...how can you give up your life so casually?"

"I don't understand what you're saying!"

Valenna pushed Sister Alice away roughly, and she committed suicide again with a rapier, piercing her heart and crushing her skull... She couldn't die no matter what she did, and the pain of death forced her to stop.

"Let me explain, Valenna. The nun is actually a vampire. After I lifted the curse from you, she gave you the First Embrace."

"The First Embrace? A dirty ritual of vampires?"

"It doesn't matter what you think. What matters is that you are no longer an elf, but a servant of blood, a follower of Miss Nun. In this way, your life and death will be decided by Miss Nun. As long as she is alive, you cannot die."

The vampire's followers will be deeply bound to their masters. Theoretically, the relationship between Sister Alice and Valena has become that of master and servant. Valena will only declare herself dead when Sister Alice dies, or when Sister Alice wants to kill Valena, Valena will end her life. The church has a special method to deal with blood servants, but Valena probably doesn't know that method.

Valena wants to be with her dead lover, and Sister Alice wants to save Valena. There is only one solution: allow Valena to end her life, but not allow her to die. You have proved that you love that person, which is good, but you can't die like this, because you haven't witnessed the coming of heaven yet.

Valena, who was furious, began to attack Sister Alice with her rapier. As long as Sister Alice gave an order, Valena would not be able to do anything to Sister Alice anymore, not even the thought. But Sister Alice did not do so. She let Valena pierce her body over and over again like crazy.

Sister Alice was smiling, like the Virgin Mary who always loved everyone; even if blood splattered on her face, she kept smiling until Valena's fear overcame her anger and madness.

The fanatic embraced the elf who had once wished for death, and whispered softly in her ear.

"Don't waste the body God has given you... You have proved your love for people with your actions, but you must survive to verify your love for God. Only in this way, when the kingdom of heaven is completed, will God promise you everything..."

Those who believe in the Lord will see the fulfillment of His words.

The elf nodded mechanically, as if receiving an oracle.

292 [The Witch and the Villain]

It doesn't take much complicated procedures to get from the north to the south of the Elf Island. After all, although the elves on the Elf Island are divided into north and south, they all essentially belong to the Island of Albirene.

Therefore, including Camlann where the high priest Gwenhwyfar lived, they were actually built near the south, that is, the center of Albion Island. As time went on, the contradictions between the northern and southern elves accumulated. The then high priest Gwenhwyfar seemed to have her own ideas. She used Camlann as the dividing point and drew a cordon that almost cut off Albion Island.

Since Albion is an island country, the southern elves can actually still bypass it by sea, but at least the land route is basically controlled by Gwenhwyfar.

Angelica and her group continued to travel southward, often resting in the shade of trees on the roadside. Because the elves refused to overdevelop the Elf Island, they often found themselves in the middle of nowhere. Angelica was quite good at hiking, but she also took good care of her feet. She would stop and rest after walking a certain distance, so the pace of the trip was always controlled by Angelica.

When there was no town in sight for a long time, Angelica would sometimes just sit on a broom, or sleep outdoors. With her ability, she didn't have to worry about encountering any danger. However, after picking up Anna, Angelica would arrange for Anna to explore the way, and she enjoyed sending Anna out.

"Owner."

Anna returned from exploring the route. Although the weather was a little hot, Anna did not sweat at all after the round trip.

"Seven kilometers ahead we will reach the town of Rosebury. Compared to the towns we passed before, Rosebury has some armed elves patrolling, a bit like the border pass of Slemish."

"It should be that the high priest of the northern fairy island that Naomi mentioned is making a big move."

Angelica didn't take it seriously. When they entered the island of Albion, they were warned by the kind-hearted high elf Naomi that the high priestess Gwenhwyfar might be planning to overthrow the current Elf King Oberon.

To put it bluntly, the Elf Island might be facing the danger of a civil war. But Angelica had experienced war and was somewhat numb after years of experience, so she had no intention of stopping it nor was she afraid.

The seven-kilometer journey was still achievable. Angelica stood up from the resting stone and her eyes met Anna's.

"What's wrong? Anna."
