As a queen who has lost her kingdom, I can see the comments section.

Amelia frowned slightly upon hearing this, but just then a comment that flashed by gave her an idea.

I remember there's a lake at the top of Misty Mountain, right? And it's quite large. If the lake water flows down, could it flood the entire Misty Crystal Mine?

Upon seeing this comment, Amelia immediately asked Ruth, "Ruth, is there a lake at the top of Misty Mountain?"

Ruth recalled for a moment and replied, "There are indeed lakes, and they cover a large area."

"Do you think it's possible for us to let the lake water flow directly down and flood the mist crystal mine? Although the lake is likely to freeze in winter, the toxins you made can melt the ice, right?" Amelia said with a smile.

Hearing Amelia say this, everyone present began to ponder.

Ruth thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure if this can be done; I might have to go and see for myself. The only thing I'm sure of is that a type of poison I'm researching can indeed prevent water from freezing."

“Your Majesty, if the mist crystal mine is flooded, it will be completely ruined. Draining it is no easy task,” Harold couldn’t help but remind him.

“That’s precisely why we can make the other kingdoms give up on the Mist Crystal Mine, isn’t it?” Amelia glanced at Harold: “Harold, do you really think we have the resources to develop the mine right now? Do you still want to take over the Mist Crystal Mine?”

Harold was speechless.

They currently lack the ability to occupy the mist crystal mine; the conditions in all aspects do not permit it.

So destroying it is also a method.

“Let’s get started.” Amelia had made her decision and instructed, “For the first question, we’ll do it the way Ruth told us before. As for the second question, let’s go to the top of Mist Mountain and take a look first.”

Regardless of whether flooding the mines was feasible, Amelia decided to rescue the people forced to work in the mines first.

Then Amelia thought of something else and said to Harold, "Harold, from now on we will use Star River Territory as our base, so we can tell the Principality of Luban to send the supplies here."

“I understand, Your Majesty,” Harold nodded.

==========

The next day, Amelia's side took action.

Under her orders, Ruth had many of her subordinates quietly leave Star River Territory and begin traveling to city after city in the Chaotic Realm to prepare for the news of the Fog Crystal Mine.

As for Amelia herself, she set off for Fog Mountain with only Eileen and Ruth.

Ruth was reluctant to leave Phoebe, after all, Phoebe had been gone from her side for a long time, and leaving Phoebe would make her feel uneasy. However, she also needed to go to Fog Hill to check on the situation herself, so she could only put aside her reluctance for the time being.

Amidst the swirling snow, the carriage gradually disappeared into the distance.

"You're really that reluctant to part with it?" Amelia glanced at Ruth beside her.

At that moment, Ruth was looking out the rear window of the carriage at the outline of the lord's manor, her reluctance all too obvious.

Hearing Amelia's words, Ruth looked away and sat down, saying apologetically, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I do miss Phoebe a little."

“If you can’t live without Phoebe, what will happen when she grows up? Phoebe will get married, right? She might not still be by your side then,” Amelia said with a smile.

"That's a long way off in the future. It's too early for me to worry about that now. We'll have to deal with it when the time comes." Ruth glanced at Amelia as she said this: "But Your Majesty, you've reached the age where it's appropriate to settle down. What does Your Majesty intend to do?"

"Get married? Me?"

"Yes, sixteen is the age of adulthood, and Your Majesty should also have your own happiness."

“Ruth, Ruth, do you think I have time to think about such things right now?” Amelia shook her head. “These things are not something I need to force. Some things, the more you look forward to them, the slower they come. When you stop forcing them, perhaps they are already by your side.”

"Your Majesty's insights are truly admirable," Ruth remarked with some admiration.

Although she didn't spend much time with Amelia, she discovered that Amelia had a maturity beyond her years, and that maturity was reassuring.

But must His Majesty's happiness really be delayed like this?

Looking at Amelia, Ruth knew that Amelia didn't want to discuss this topic, so after opening her mouth, she ultimately didn't say anything more.

==========

Fog Mountain.

Just like Amelia had seen it last time, a misty fog still lingered here, which even the raging snow could not dispel.

When she left last time, even Amelia didn't expect to return to this place so soon.

Visibility in the mountains was very poor, and the ground was white with snow. Fortunately, the snow was not deep, and only the soles of our shoes sank in a little bit when we stepped on it.

After arriving here, Amelia and her two companions moved quickly.

After a short while, Amelia stopped under a bare tree, took a breath, and said, "I'm a little tired. Eileen, please carry me."

“No problem.” Eileen nodded.

She knelt down slightly in front of Amelia, who then leaned over her and wrapped her arms around Eileen's neck.

Feeling Amelia behind her, Eileen's eyes flickered.

It was only at this moment that she realized a problem: among the people still alive, only she and Verna knew that Amelia was an apostle. Even Harold and the others did not know this, because Amelia had never made a move in front of Harold and the others.

Why is Your Majesty so cautious?

At this moment, Amelia, as a mid-level apostle, was obviously not tired, yet she still chose to let him carry her, which was clearly a way of concealing her own apostle status.

'Does Your Majesty distrust the others?'

Eileen thought to herself.

Verna knew Amelia's identity as an apostle because of the circumstances at the time, and because Amelia and Verna had signed a contract that prevented them from harming each other.

Apart from that, Amelia's secret was never revealed to a living person—except for her.

She was the only one outside the contractual restrictions.

Thinking about this, Eileen felt a strange feeling in her heart. The trust she received from Amelia made her subconsciously grip the thigh of the person she was carrying.

Before long, the three of them finally arrived at the top of Wushan Mountain.

"Eileen, put me down," Amelia said, looking around.

"I see."

Eileen put Amelia down.

The fog was even thicker here. After arriving, the three of them groped their way forward and walked for about five or six minutes before stopping in front of a row of trees.

Looking beyond the trees, although they couldn't see everything in the fog behind them, they could tell that the bare trees ahead were gone, and it looked like a wide expanse of snow.

However, there are many trees on this mountain. When a large area has no bare trees, it can only mean that there is a problem.

"Is that lake here? Let's check the situation."

Amelia rubbed her hands together, exhaled a breath of hot air, and walked forward.

Eileen and Ruth followed.

They quickly cleared away the snow in one area and stood on the thick ice.

"Ruth, can you tell how thick this layer of ice is?" Amelia asked.

"I'll give it a try."

As Ruth spoke, she took a bottle of black liquid from her waist pouch, opened it, and poured it onto the ice.

As the liquid came into contact with the ice, the ice immediately melted at a visible speed, turning into water that flowed down and formed a large cave.

Ruth looked at the cave and replied, "Your Majesty, the ice doesn't seem too thick. Melting a large area of ​​ice shouldn't be a problem."

Amelia nodded: "Then let's find a suitable outlet and see where the water can flow down the mountain to flood the mist crystal mine."

She glanced at the comments while speaking, but unfortunately, the audience could only watch the spectacle, as there was no plot related to this in the original storyline, and the audience lost their prophetic abilities.

Turning their gaze away, Amelia, Eileen, and Ruth went to the edge of the mountaintop and looked down.

“Although we can’t see clearly below because of the fog, this is where the mine is located. If we can open an opening here to divert the flow, our plan should be able to be completed,” Amelia concluded.

“Your Majesty, this is a rocky area, and the cliffs are some distance from the lake. If we want to divert the water, we will have to break the ground, which is not easy to do,” Ruth reminded her.

“It’s alright, Eileen can handle that,” Amelia said confidently.

Eileen nodded as well.

Upon hearing this, Ruth was taken aback, glanced at Eileen in surprise, and then smiled wryly, "If Miss Eileen can do it, then breaking the ice layer will not be a difficult thing for Miss Eileen either, so it seems that I didn't need to come."

“How can you let Eileen do everything? Destroying such a large area of ​​thick ice will tire her out. I’ll leave the ice work to you,” Amelia replied without hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Ruth couldn't help but glance at Eileen again.

Is Your Majesty concerned about Eileen?

Chapter 127 The Plan Takes Action, Public Opinion Spreads

After surveying the terrain on Fog Mountain, Amelia and her companions began making further preparations.

Of course, Ruth is the one who needs to make the preparations. To melt a large amount of ice, she also needs to make more related potions.

The necessary materials for making the potion have been brought over by carriage. For the next few days, Ruth can simply stay in the carriage and make the potion. There are also enough daily necessities stored in the carriage.

As for Amelia and Eileen, they temporarily left Fog Mountain and came to the nearest town, Fay Town.

This was their second time visiting this town. The last time they came, they only passed through quickly, dealt with the people from the Akti Kingdom in the town, and left. Their impression of the town was that it was desolate and cold.

However, Faye Town is now very lively.

When Amelia and Eileen arrived, they could see many people marching in the streets of the town with expressions of discontent, protesting the actions of the Akti Kingdom.

After Amelia and Eileen dealt with the people from the Akti Kingdom who left the town, the Akti Kingdom sent people again to manage the town. However, the people sent by the Akti Kingdom were no longer able to win over the people.

Besides killing the damned people of the Akti Kingdom, Amelia and Eileen also released the ordinary people who had been captured. This had already made the people of Fay Town aware that the disappearances of people in the town were related to the Akti Kingdom.

And just today, another piece of news spread like wildfire in Fay Town: that the people who were captured by the Kingdom of Akti were actually taken to mine.

The message emphasized the dangers of mining and stated that many people had died due to mine collapses, which immediately made the residents of Fay Town feel insecure.

Needless to say, those whose missing family members haven't returned are also getting restless, as no one knows if they will be the next one to be forced to mine.

"The lives of ordinary people are also lives, and they cannot be trampled on casually."

"The Kingdom of Akti must give us an explanation."

"I've heard that large numbers of people in other towns have also been forced to mine. Is this how the Akti Kingdom treats life?"

"We want an explanation! We want our families back!"

Many people marched in the streets, holding up various signs and expressing their indignation.

This is just the situation in Fay Town; in the other towns, as news spread, there is no doubt that many similar situations exist.
