"Miss, you haven't washed yourself properly since you came back. How about taking a bath and changing your clothes? The hot water is ready for you."

Butler Sean said softly as he stood beside Alice, holding an ice-blue dress.

"Ah."

Alice nodded slightly, got up from the sofa and walked to the bathroom on the second floor.

Butler Sean followed closely behind.

When she reached the bathroom door, Alice, who was holding the door handle, suddenly paused, with a hint of nostalgia in her eyes.

"Butler Sean, Aunt Xue Rui and the others won't be coming back?"

They used to be servants of this villa. According to Butler Sean, they were dismissed in order to save costs.

Butler Sean was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said regretfully: "Yes, I won't come back again, Miss..."

"That's it..."

Alice looked a little gloomy. Even if she returned to her former home, everything would never be the same as before.

"Miss, please take off your jewelry before you go in. It will be bad if it gets wet." Butler Sean reminded.

"Well...my brother bought these for me, saying they can protect me..."

Alice looked down at the large and small decorations on her body, including two magic bracelets, a magic ring, a magic necklace, a pair of suction magic earrings, and a mental protection amulet tied around her waist.

There is also a magic hairpin between the hair.

They are all magic props that can automatically identify dangers and trigger protective effects, covering mental protection, physical protection, magical protection, fall protection, etc.

"It seems that Lord Claude really cares about you..." Butler Sean sighed, "However, I still suggest that you take them off temporarily. If they get wet, it may affect their stability, and it will be inconvenient for you to wash."

Alice hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but she slowly took off the magic protective gear on her body.

"Let me keep it for you."

Butler Sean took the expensive magic jewelry and then handed the ice-blue dress to Alice.

"Are you not going to take off that white ring and the little leather bag around your neck?"

Butler Sean asked as he looked at the white secret pattern ring on Alice's left index finger and the amulet leather bag around her neck.

"Especially that bag. If it gets wet, it will be uncomfortable to wear."

Alice looked down at the leather bag of the amulet around her neck and shook her head. "It won't get wet. My brother told me not to take off this ring and the bag at any time."

Upon hearing this, Butler Sean did not insist and said softly, "Okay, go in and wash up. I'll wait for you outside."

Alice nodded and walked into the bathroom, closing the door behind her.

Looking at the bathtub filled with hot water, she stood on tiptoe, hung her skirt on the clothes rack beside her, and then slowly took off her clothes.

Two minutes later, Alice silently immersed herself in the bathtub. In the past, when she was at home, her aunt would help her wash and dress, but now she had to rely on herself.

Outside the bathroom, Butler Sean stuffed the expensive magic jewelry into his pocket. Listening to the sound of water, the kind and respectful smile on his face slowly faded, and his dark gray eyes became calm.

"Miss..." He said in a voice that only he could hear, "Xue Rui and the others will never come back, never..."

"But I didn't expect you to come back... Sir Claude, you are such a good man..."

"Miss, I really hope you will never come back. Whether you are still attached to this family or want to inherit the inheritance of the master and the lady, I hope you can give up everything and never, ever come back..."

"But you're back..."

"Mr. Claude is a responsible person. He wants to investigate everything thoroughly. I... can't convince him."

"So, why? Why can't you just drop everything and go away?"

"Perhaps, this is your destiny, miss..."

Butler Sean sighed, and wisps of purple-black aura slowly emanated from his body.

"I smelled the scent of Her Majesty the Witch on Lord Claude, but... he doesn't seem to be a member of the sect. He didn't respond to my hints at all."

"Perhaps it was the guidance of Her Majesty the Witch that made him bring you back."

"I think he may just lack the ability to listen. If Lord Claude can listen to the gospel, he will surely throw himself into the arms of Her Majesty the Witch... After all, Her Majesty the Witch's love for him makes me a little jealous. It is such an honor. What reason does he have not to throw himself into the arms of Her Majesty the Witch?"

"Although, before that, he might have to survive the assassins hiding there..."

"Anyway, you finally came back, and I...finally waited for you."

At the bathroom door, Butler Sean's eyes gradually turned purple and dark. He raised his hands and tilted his head slightly.

“Everything is just right.”

"You will become a pure saint, you will become a great vessel, you will become... the end of the world."

A thick purple-black aura emanated from him, and a purple-black magic circle gradually emerged on the floor of the bathroom.

Alice lay on her back in the warm bathtub with her eyes closed, and she fell into a deep sleep without knowing when.

In the middle of the magic circle, groups of purple-black mist slowly rose up and piled up, as if they were about to transform into a human figure.

Outside the bathroom, Butler Sean, who had originally looked calm, now had an excited look on his face.

"The witch is coming, and the world will end!"

At this moment, a charming and lazy voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Hmm~ Witch Cultist, that's interesting~"

Hearing the voice, Butler Sean's movements paused slightly, then he turned stiffly, and a woman with snow-white skin and a beautiful face was reflected in his purple-black pupils.

The other party was looking at him with an amused expression at this moment, holding a black recurve dagger lightly in his left hand.

The loose white pajamas slightly outlined her beautiful figure.

"You...what do you want to do to that little girl inside? Can you tell me?"

In an instant, Elsa rushed to Butler Sean like a ghost, leaned close to his ear, and whispered softly in a sweet voice.

"Gut Hunter Elsa..." Butler Sean's pupils widened, "Aren't you lying on the bed, unable to move?"

"Oh? Is that what you think?" Elsa suddenly distanced herself from him and leaned elegantly against the corridor railing. "Unfortunately, that guy seemed to have mixed a high-level healing potion into the bowl of porridge he gave me, so I recovered very quickly~"

"You haven't answered my question yet, Witch Cultist..."

Butler Sean was silent for a while, then said, "Didn't you see everything? What else do you need to explain?"

The next second, a huge purple-black magical hand stretched out from his chest and grabbed Elsa like a catapult.

"Choose to take action directly? You are too eager~"

Elsa giggled, her body flashed, and she dodged lightly, then she held the knife in her backhand and took two steps towards Butler Sean.

The speed was so fast that even the shadow could not catch up.

"Although I really want to play with you, the little sister's condition doesn't seem to allow me to delay."

Elsa leaned closer to the butler and spoke softly.

The next second, the black kukri cut open his abdomen easily like butter, and blood spurted out.

Butler Sean suddenly lost his strength, bent his legs and knelt on the ground.

The magical hand collapsed instantly.

"Haha... it's too late..." Butler Sean forced a satisfied smile, "I can feel... Her Majesty the Witch has arrived, and soon... the lady will complete her mission. This is her destiny. I have already advised her, but since I can't stop her, let her embrace me."

In the bathroom, the purple-black mist emanating from the magic circle eventually outlined a long-haired figure whose face could not be seen clearly.

She slowly walked to the bathtub and looked down at the little girl sleeping peacefully in the warm water.

He slowly squatted down, raised his slender fingers, and gently stroked the cute and well-behaved face.

“Embrace it! Come! Let all the suffering, sorrow, and injustice end at that final moment!”

Butler Sean shouted outside the bathroom door.

The long-haired figure ignored the voice. She stayed quietly beside the bathtub for a while, then slowly stood up. The purple-black magic circle under her feet seemed to have exhausted its power and slowly dimmed.

As the power receded, the long-haired figure also disappeared.

From beginning to end, she did nothing and just left peacefully.

Outside the door, sensing the witch's aura fading away, Butler Sean's shouting suddenly stopped, and his face revealed deep fear and anxiety.

"Her Majesty the Witch... is gone. She refused to come!"

“Why! Why?!”

"Is this container not to your liking?"

"Or... are you still interested in the silver-haired half-elf?"

Amidst groans, the butler, who had become a witch cultist at some point in time, gradually died.

On the other side, Elsa inserted a knife into the bathroom door handle, twisted it gently, picked the lock, and then pushed the door open.

She looked around and confirmed that there were no suspicious people.

"Hmm~"

Looking at Alice, who was naked in the bathtub, Elsa walked over, took her out of the water, wrapped her in a bath towel, and took her out of the bathroom.

......

In the lobby of the orphanage, Li Shanren tore off the page of the file with Alice's information, clenched it in his right hand, and pinched a finger holy seal in his left hand.

In an instant, a scorching flame ignited in his palm, burning the page of the file to ashes.

The firelight was faintly reflected in his eyes.

Li Shanren grabbed the so-called gospel book and stuffed it into the storage bag, then turned around and blew the spirit horse whistle.

"Bam—!"

The next second, a handsome white horse with double horns broke open the gate, carried Li Shanren on its back, lightly crossed the wall, and quickly disappeared at the end of the street.

In less than five minutes, he returned to Alice's villa.

In the courtyard, Butler Sean had disappeared.

Li Shanren frowned and as soon as he opened the door, he smelled a strong smell of blood coming from upstairs.

My eyes drifted towards the source of the smell, and I saw the old housekeeper kneeling at the bathroom door, his eyes half-open, his abdomen cut open, revealing his bloody internal organs.

"Master, you're back soon~"

Elsa's seductive voice fell from upstairs.

Li Shanren turned his head slightly and saw the Hunter standing at the door of Alice's room.

"Where is she?" Li Shanren asked in a deep voice.

"She's lying in bed, not awake yet."

After a few breaths, Li Shanren stood in the warmly decorated room, looking at Alice who was sleeping soundly, with deep worry between his brows.

"I've tried my best. You can't expect me, a person who has just been resurrected, to protect her perfectly."

Elsa said, leaning against the door.
