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

The information above is simple: Ruth has been in contact with a group of mysterious people who seem to have extraordinary backgrounds, including some former nobles of the Kingdom of Steel.

After handing the note to Ruth, Amelia asked, "Why is it taking so long for this news to spread? Wasn't the best opportunity when we weren't at the lord's manor?"

Meimi kept her head down and didn't say anything.

It was clear that she was actually very nervous; her fingers, gripping the maid outfit, were trembling slightly.

After reading the note and understanding the situation, Ruth concluded, "Snow Pigeon is probably not under her control. She only comes periodically. Only when Snow Pigeon arrives can she release information to the outside world."

“I see.” Amelia nodded in understanding, then looked at Memi and asked, “So, who are you sending the message to?”

Meimi: "..."

"Besides you, are there any other informants?" Amelia asked.

Memi remained silent.

Seeing this, Amelia shook her head and said, "If you won't say anything, then this is troublesome. Don't force us to do anything strange to you, like stripping a girl naked and hanging her in the snowy wilderness. That might kill her, right?"

Amelia's words carried a hint of threat.

The threat made Memi tremble, but she still didn't say anything more.

Amelia frowned slightly at Memi's silence. She glanced at the comments and hoped that viewers would focus their camera on Memi so they could hear her inner thoughts, thus revealing her inner feelings through the comments.

Unfortunately, the audience didn't get to see what Memi was thinking this time.

Seeing this, Ruth looked at Mamy and said, "Are you worried about the consequences of saying things you shouldn't? But don't you know that saying nothing won't end well either? Mamy, don't push my limits."

Meimi remained silent with her head down.

This situation made Ruth frown.

She turned to Amelia and said, "Miss Lily, it's probably not easy to get any useful information from her by asking directly. I'd better lock her up in the dungeon and interrogate her properly."

Mild methods often fail to achieve the desired results, and sometimes ruthless methods are necessary.

Amelia wasn't good at interrogation and thought it would be better to leave it to Ruth to interrogate properly, so she nodded immediately.

"Then it's up to you, Ruth."

"No problem, no matter how tight her mouth is, I will open it."

Next, Ruth summoned some guards from the lord's manor and had them take her to the dungeon to lock her up. She followed them there herself, wanting to begin the interrogation immediately.

Having finally found a clue, she naturally didn't want to waste time and was eager to find out more.

As Ruth left, Amelia followed Eileen outside.

In the arched corridor, Amelia shrank back.

Because of the urgency of the situation, she had just thrown on a dress and ran out without wearing warm clothes. Only after explaining the situation to Ruth did she realize how cold it was.

"Your Majesty!" Eileen noticed Amelia's coldness and quickly hugged her.

"Come on, Eileen, let's hurry back to the bathroom," Amelia said quickly.

They had run out halfway through their shower, and now, besides feeling cold, they also felt a bit uncomfortable, so naturally they wanted to go back and shower again.

“No problem.” Eileen immediately put her arm around Amelia and headed towards the bathroom.

Back in the bathroom, Amelia quickly took off her clothes and got into the bathtub.

Splash...

With the crisp sound of water, Amelia's delicate body was submerged in it.

After a while, the water temperature had dropped a bit. Although it wasn't cold yet, Amelia still subconsciously started rubbing her skin.

Eileen knew the water temperature had dropped, so she quickly added some hot water to bring the bathtub temperature back to normal.

After that, Eileen also took off her clothes and got into the bathtub.

As the water temperature returned to normal, Amelia relaxed and then looked at the comments section.

This time, the viewer saw the scene on her side, but because of the holy light, the viewer couldn't see anything and was sending comments to express their dissatisfaction.

These are the familiar bullet comments.

Amelia sighed and then pursed her lips, turning her gaze away from the comments section.

==========

After taking a bath, Amelia and Irene changed into comfortable dresses and then enjoyed a sumptuous lunch.

After lunch, they returned to their bedroom to meditate.

Meditation is something you should do every day. It's like pouring drops of water into a bottle. When the bottle is full, you can try to break through to the next level. So you can't stop meditating.

'The reason I dare not let too many people know I am an apostle is because I am still too weak and lack sufficient self-defense capabilities. Once I become strong enough, I will no longer need to hide my identity as an apostle.'

Amelia thought to herself.

Time passed by second by second in meditation.

After a while, Amelia, who was immersed in meditation, heard a knock on the door.

Amelia stopped meditating, leaned back on the bed, picked up a book from the bedside table, her beautiful eyes scanning the pages as she slowly turned them, as if she had just been reading.

Eileen got up and opened the door.

Standing outside the door was Ruth.

Ruth looked unwell. Seeing the door open, she said directly, "Your Majesty, Memi is dead."

Amelia put down her book, frowned, and looked over: "What happened? Did you accidentally kill her while interrogating her?"

“No, she died suddenly.” Ruth said with a hint of shame, “It’s all my fault for not examining her body carefully enough beforehand and failing to detect that twin worms had been implanted in her body.”

"Twin worms? What are those?" Amelia searched her memory and found that she had never heard of them.

“It’s a poisonous insect,” Ruth explained.

She explained that twin worms are a peculiar type of venomous insect. These venomous insects usually live in pairs, and once one of them dies, the other will sense it no matter how far away it is, and will die as well, secreting a large amount of toxins upon death.

Once this venomous insect is implanted into Memi's body, and the insect dies, the toxins it secretes will undoubtedly spread, and Memi, an ordinary person, will not be able to resist them.

So Memi died.

“I’ve made a judgment about the situation,” Ruth added. “It’s probably because we captured Snow Pigeon that the person Memi wanted to contact couldn’t see Snow Pigeon return, so they concluded that there was a problem with Memi’s side, and therefore killed Memi directly.”

This is the most reasonable explanation at present.

However, the fact that the person in the shadows was so decisive still sent chills down one's spine; such a resolute person was definitely not easy to deal with.

At this point, there's no point in Amelia expressing her dissatisfaction.

She thought for a moment and asked, "What are you planning to do next, Ruth?"

“If we can’t get more information from people, then I plan to use the snow pigeon.” Ruth’s thinking was still very clear: “I plan to tie the snow pigeon’s feet with a thin rope, have my people lead it, and then release the snow pigeon. The snow pigeon should return to its owner, and then we can follow it and find our target.”

The snow pigeon is currently being kept in captivity. It doesn't have any poisonous insects like Memi, and it's still lively and energetic. After Memi died, Ruth carefully examined the snow pigeon's body and confirmed that there were no problems.

Amelia said knowingly, "Finding the owner of the snow pigeons in this way is a good idea."

"Since Your Majesty feels there is no problem, I will arrange for people to take action immediately."

"No, leave this to me."

"By His Majesty?"

“If I put you in charge of this, I’m worried there might be some things you won’t be able to handle,” Amelia said thoughtfully. “Because it could also be a trap.”

“A trap?” Ruth was taken aback.

“Yes, since the people in the shadows considered that Memi might have problems and left poisonous insects in her body, why didn’t they consider that Snow Pigeon might also have problems? Is it possible that they considered the possibility that Snow Pigeon might be captured and set up a trap to counter that possibility?” Amelia explained the situation.

Ruth immediately understood: "The snow pigeon could be bait? That's certainly a possibility."

“Based on our current understanding, the forces targeting you, Ruth, are most likely from the Kingdom of Bagus. And the Kingdom of Bagus is no ordinary power; any force weak enough to fall into their trap will be reduced to ashes,” Amelia continued.

In the current snowy environment, the Kingdom of Bagus, which has long had its eye on the Star River Territory, cannot launch a large-scale invasion of the Star River Territory, but it can certainly make some small moves.

“Your Majesty is right,” Ruth said, glancing at Eileen.

Currently, the strongest member on their side is undoubtedly Eileen, and only Eileen is capable of undertaking such a risky task.

Amelia nodded and said, "Bring the snow pigeons. We should get started."

"I'll go and bring the snow pigeon over right away," Ruth said, and quickly left.

==========

The snow fell heavily, and the snow piled up thicker and thicker, while the cold north wind howled.

In the open space in front of the lord's manor, a sled was parked, with several ropes connecting two horses in front.

Because the snow is getting thicker and thicker, it would be very difficult to travel by ordinary horse-drawn carriage these days, so sleds would be the preferred choice.

In places where it snows frequently, sleds are not uncommon and can appear much more often than ordinary horse-drawn carriages.

Amelia stepped onto the sled and sat down. The seat was fairly soft, and there was a canopy overhead so the snow wouldn't fall on her.

"Is His Majesty also going in person? Would it be enough for Eileen to go alone?" Ruth asked with some concern as she watched Amelia get into the carriage.

"Don't worry, Eileen can protect me."

"But Eileen is ultimately alone."

"Even if I'm alone, Eileen can protect me."

"This……"

Seeing how much Amelia trusted Irene, Ruth didn't know what to say.

Thinking about it carefully, His Majesty and Eileen have always bathed and slept together, and their relationship is indeed very good. Under such circumstances, it would be useless for him to say anything more.

Ruth chose to keep quiet.

The snow pigeons had already been brought in, with a thin rope tied to their feet, the other end of which was attached to the sled. They were flapping their wings and trying to fly away in one direction.

When animals fly in a panic, they will instinctively choose the place that is safest for them. For snow pigeons, the safest place is only the place where their owner is.

"Is this the direction of Morington City?" Amelia asked, looking ahead at Snow Dove.

“Yes.” Ruth nodded.

"It seems our target might be Morington City."
