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

"puff!"

The sword pierced Rita's chest.

With a dull thud, Rita's hammer also struck Eileen in the back.

At the moment of impact, Eileen used the force from the attack on her back to transfer that power to her arm with a light leap, gripped the sword firmly, and slashed upwards, tearing Rita's chest open, slicing through her collarbone, slicing through her neck, and slicing through her head. In this clean and decisive manner, Rita was cut in two from the chest upwards, spraying blood everywhere.

This was an outcome that Rita never expected.

Normally, when someone is hit hard in the back, their body should stop or stiffen due to the attack. So why is the opponent able to use the force to launch a counterattack?

why?

Rita stood there in a daze, watching Eileen draw her sword and step back, watching Eileen tear open the fabric of her clothes on her back, watching the flesh there rapidly heal.

It's blood activation!

Rita, who also possessed the ability to activate blood, recognized him immediately.

It turns out the other party also possesses this ability!

With blood activation, any injury can heal quickly, but... even though she also possessed blood activation, she was still momentarily stunned when attacked, otherwise, how could she have been counter-killed in that instant?

'Turns out, she's much better than me!'

Rita only understood this truth when she died.

She had always longed to meet him and defeat him, never considering the possibility that she was no match for him, simply because he had once fled from her. Now it seemed that it wasn't that he was no match for her and ran away, but rather that he had someone he needed to protect.

But I only realized this now, and it's too late.

Rita collapsed, her entire body sinking into the snow, her bright red blood flowing out and quickly staining the snow red.

It's snowing again...

This was the last thought that flashed through Rita's mind before she died.

Yes, it's snowing.

Snowflakes began to fall from the sky, covering Rita's body.

Amelia was not surprised by the result, but she was a little worried about the injury on Eileen's back.

She took off her coat and came to Eileen's side, draping it over Eileen's shoulders.

“Alright, we should go back now,” Amelia said next.

==========

The matter with the Kingdom of Akti has come to an end. Amelia and the others did not expose anything, and the Kingdom of Akti will definitely not be able to find anything about them afterward. They can now go on to handle other matters with peace of mind.

They still have many things to deal with. The Star River Territory is being coveted by the Kingdom of Bagos, which is something that cannot be ignored. However, how to deal with it has become a question worth pondering.

That evening, Amelia and the others returned to the lord's mansion in Star River Territory.

It started snowing again when they left Misty Mountain, and by the time they arrived at the lord's manor, the snowfall had become a heavy downpour, making it difficult for the carriage to move.

'The arrival of heavy snow might be a good thing.'

Amelia looked at the snow-covered sky under the night sky.

With heavy snow falling, it would be difficult for anyone to travel. Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for the Kingdom of Bagus to launch any attack on the Star River Territory. Everything would have to wait until the snow stopped and spring came.

Amelia and her two companions entered the lord's manor and disembarked from the carriage.

"Mother!"

The three of them had just gotten off the carriage when Phoebe, wearing a little cotton-padded jacket, ran out from not far away and happily ran towards Ruth.

Ruth quickly ran over and picked up her daughter.

Seeing the mother and daughter embracing, Amelia felt a profound sense of peace.

Then she looked at Eileen beside her and asked softly, "How is the injury on your back?"

“It’s fully healed, Your Majesty,” Eileen replied softly.

"Really? Let me see."

Amelia lifted Eileen's coat.

Because of her previous injury, Eileen had torn off the back of her clothes to avoid mixing clothing scraps with blood and flesh, so Amelia could see Eileen's back when she lifted her coat.

At this point, Eileen's back wound had indeed healed, and the skin there was smooth and fair, just like the skin of a newborn baby, without the slightest blemish.

Seeing this, Amelia was relieved and put her coat down again.

“Let’s go. Let’s go back and get some rest tonight. Tomorrow we’ll start thinking about how to deal with the Kingdom of Bagus and the issues with the spies within the Star River Territory.” Amelia took Eileen’s hand and led her towards the house in front.

Volume 4 Chaotic Realm

Chapter 130 Eileen, I dreamt of you, on Stranger Day and Paradise Day

Outside, snow was falling heavily, while inside the house, the fireplace provided warmth, allowing one to have a comfortable and restful sleep.

When Amelia opened her eyes, it was already the morning of the next day.

She woke up early today, and the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was the heavy snow still falling outside the glass window.

'Did it snow all night? The snow must be quite thick now.'

Amelia thought to herself, then turned her head to look at another person beside her.

The only one who could sleep in the same bed as Amelia was undoubtedly Eileen. Eileen usually woke up earlier than Amelia, but today Amelia woke up earlier than usual.

However, when Amelia turned to look at Eileen, Eileen seemed to sense it. Her eyes, which were half-hidden by her silver bangs, opened, and her bright red eyes fell on Amelia.

"Your Majesty, you're awake."

Upon meeting Amelia's aquamarine eyes, Eileen quickly straightened up.

Amelia, her petite body nestled in the warm blankets, said with a touch of languid sleepiness, "Eileen, I dreamt about you yesterday."

Eileen was taken aback.

“I dreamt that you weren’t wearing underwear. Eileen, you’re wearing them properly, aren’t you?” Amelia said, rubbing her eyes.

"...Yes, Your Majesty."

"Well, that's good. What a strange dream."

As Amelia spoke, she propped herself up, but as soon as she sat up, she felt the cold outside. She quickly grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around herself until the warmth of the blanket reached her, and then she relaxed.

Seeing this, Eileen thoughtfully brought Amelia a new thermal top and thermal tights. Amelia changed her clothes in bed and only after putting on the warm clothes did she feel at ease lifting the covers.

Eileen also got dressed by the bedside; she was still wearing her black and white maid outfit.

The two quickly got dressed and then washed up.

Finally, Amelia put on a half-face mask with an exquisite pattern that covered the upper half of her face.

Out of caution, Amelia decided to conceal her appearance somewhat, since not everyone in Star River Territory could be trusted.

As for hair color, since there are many blondes, even Ruth and Phoebe are blonde, it doesn't attract much attention.

Although Amelia had visited the lord's manor without concealing her presence before, she had been in contact with Ruth and hadn't had any close encounters with the others, so it's not too late for her to start covering up now.

Besides, only Amelia needs to conceal herself; Eileen doesn't, since hardly anyone recognizes her anyway.

As for Harold, he had already left Star River Territory by this time.

When Amelia was carrying out her plan to flood the Mist Crystal Mine, Harold realized that he didn't need to help with the matter, so he offered to contact other lords and nobles to win over their support for Amelia.

Amelia did not object and granted Harold's permission to proceed.

To protect Harold, Nicole and some others followed him away.

With key figures like Harold and Nicole gone, Amelia will have to handle the issues in Star River Territory on her own.

Amelia wasn't too worried about this, after all, she wasn't alone, she had countless people who would help her, even if they themselves didn't know it.

Thinking this, Amelia glanced at the comments scrolling by. Everyone was saying good morning to her, even though to them she was just a character in their own anime.

Thinking of this, Amelia smiled slightly: "Good morning, it's a new day again."

As she finished speaking, even more comments saying "Good morning" appeared in the live chat.

Amelia smiled even more at this sight, her smile so bright it seemed to melt the winter snow.

Next, Amelia and Irene went to the lord's manor restaurant.

The ceiling with a crystal chandelier, the brown and white checkered floor, the elegant white dining table, and various other decorations and embellishments on the walls and in the corners make the restaurant look anything but monotonous.

Here, Ruth was sitting at the dining table with Phoebe, who seemed to be awake but not quite. Next to them, maids were serving various exquisite breakfasts, and the rich aroma filled the dining room.

Upon seeing Amelia's arrival, Ruth greeted her politely, "Miss Lily."

In the presence of outsiders, Ruth would certainly not call Amelia "Your Majesty," but rather "Miss Lily."

Amelia sat down and said, "Let's have breakfast first."

Ruth nodded.

"Eileen, sit down too," Amelia said to Eileen beside her.

Eileen hesitated for a moment, but still sat down next to Amelia.

She figured Amelia would leave after she finished eating, and she would definitely follow her, so she had no choice but to eat together.

After they were seated, Ruth dismissed the maids around them so that they could discuss more confidential matters during the meal.

"Your Majesty, what should we do next?" Ruth asked earnestly.

Amelia took a sip of milk and said slowly, "There are two main directions: one is to increase our own strength, and the other is to weaken the enemy's strength."

Ruth nodded knowingly: "Does Your Majesty have any specific ideas?"

“Ruth, you should be the one to think about this. As the lord of Star River Territory, you are more familiar with the situation there. What are your thoughts?” Amelia asked.

"I don't have any particularly good ideas," Ruth said, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Ruth, just say what you're thinking," Amelia said, noticing Ruth's changing expression.

"Your Majesty, what I'm thinking about might not be considered important," Ruth said hesitantly.
