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

The Redeemers Alliance is indeed connected to the Kingdom of Bagus.

Before the organization was established, the members had various identities, so they were probably not originally from the Kingdom of Bagus. But that was only at the beginning; later, they should all have joined the Kingdom of Bagus.

Amelia didn't know when the Redeemers Alliance sided with the Kingdom of Bagus in the original storyline, but she felt that by this point in time, the Redeemers Alliance had likely already taken this step.

Even the Bago Kingdom's backup plan to disrupt Star River Territory was the Redeemer Alliance!

Because besides the list, there are other things about the Redeemers that raise suspicion.

“Eileen, there’s something I forgot to ask you.” Amelia put down the list and asked, “When Howard left with that book at the Redeemer League, was someone secretly watching us?”

“Yes,” Eileen said confidently. “Actually, while everyone was talking, someone was secretly watching.”

"I see." Amelia was even more certain of her thoughts.

She never expected that her only goal was to find some helpers for her side, but instead of finding helpers, she found the enemy.

Amelia looked at Ruth, who was sitting on the opposite sofa with a confused expression, and said seriously, "Ruth, we can start now."

"Make a move? Against whom?"

"Redeemer League".

"why?"

Ruth was very surprised; shouldn't the Redeemers be the ones they were trying to win over?

Amelia said calmly, "Because I suspect there's something wrong with the Redeemers League."

[As expected of Amelia, she spotted the problem with the Redeemer Alliance right away?]

[I told you, my Amelia would definitely notice something was wrong and wouldn't fall for any dirty tricks.]

"What do you mean 'your Amelia'? She's clearly mine."

It should be mine.

Ignoring the dense barrage of comments appearing before her, Amelia continued, meeting Ruth's surprised expression, "The Redeemer Alliance's behavior is strange in many ways. I suspect they have something wrong with them. I won't go into details about what's strange; let's just go there. If everything is as I expect, then once we hold off the Redeemer Alliance, all our questions will be answered immediately."

"I understand," Ruth nodded.

Although there were still many things she didn't understand, since Amelia had said so, she naturally chose to believe Amelia.

The group immediately left the hotel.

By this time, it was already getting dark. Winter days always seem rather short. The gloomy sky grew darker and darker, while the snow seemed to be getting heavier.

The dim lights appeared throughout Morington, and the snowflakes seemed to fall even more rapidly under their glow.

After Amelia and her group left the inn, Amelia, Irene, and Ruth boarded a carriage, which Wilbur drove towards their destination.

The remaining guards who had come with Ruth stayed in the other carriages around this one.

As for the butler Sampson, who was not good at fighting, he stayed at the inn to take care of Phoebe, who was also staying there.

"Whoosh..."

A cold wind swept through the streets of Morington.

The snowflakes pattered against the carriage, creating a rhythmic, pattering sound.

Before long, the carriage arrived at its destination.

"My lord, we have arrived," Wilbur's voice came from outside.

Upon hearing the sound, Amelia and the other two came out of the carriage.

The location was still the alley I had visited during the day. Because of the continuous snowfall, the snow in the alley seemed to be even deeper. When you stepped on it, your whole foot would sink in, making it inconvenient to walk.

The streetlights at the entrance of the alley were broken for some reason, so no light shone in, making the alley dark.

"Let's just get started."

Amelia looked up at the house in front of her and said very decisively.

Eileen would carry out Amelia's orders without the slightest hesitation, and she took the lead by kicking open the door.

However, the noise of kicking the door clearly alerted the people inside, and some lights in the house quickly turned on.

Amelia strode inside, and the others followed suit.

"Everyone, take down everyone in the house! Don't let anyone escape!" Ruth commanded.

Now that things have come to this point, although Ruth doesn't understand Amelia's actions, she will still cooperate.

At her command, the twenty-odd guards quickly drew their weapons and dispersed.

“Wilbur, you don’t need to stay and protect me. Go and do it too,” Ruth said to the knight commander standing to the side.

"Yes, my lord."

Wilbur immediately turned and walked out.

Amelia gave Eileen a look, and Eileen immediately disappeared into the first room.

“Let’s go in too. Staying here isn’t comfortable.” Amelia brushed the snow off her head and walked forward.

Ruth immediately followed Amelia.

The two entered the room they had been in during the day. Now, a flurry of sounds came from the second floor, and Howard's familiar voice could be faintly heard.

Since Eileen had gone ahead, Amelia wasn't worried and continued walking up the stairs.

Ruth followed closely behind Amelia.

They arrived at the second floor and stopped outside a room whose door had fallen to the ground.

Amelia turned her head and looked into the room. She could see dozens of people crammed into the narrow room. There were no beds, no tables or chairs. It was just an empty room with dozens of people squatting there against the walls.

As Amelia and Ruth appeared, the people looked up at them in fear, then huddled there motionless.

"This is……"

Seeing the situation before her, Ruth frowned, sensing that something was amiss.

Amelia didn't speak, but walked into the room and held out her hand to a girl with freckles on her face and lifeless eyes: "Let me see the book you're holding."

The girl dared not resist, or rather, she was used to being submissive, and simply handed over the book.

Amelia picked up the book and opened it to take a look.

She turned the pages very quickly, and after reading for a short while, she handed the book to Ruth.

Ruth took the book, opened it, and looked at it. As she read, her expression changed immediately.

“This is clearly brainwashing content, teaching someone how to become a better slave.” Ruth glanced at it and immediately understood.

Are all the people here reading books like this? Are they all learning how to be a good slave?

She thought of Howard's words during the day lamenting the hardships of ordinary people's lives, and looking at the situation before her, she felt a great sense of irony.

Amelia didn't say much. The situation before her only confirmed some of her preconceived notions, but it wasn't all the information she needed to know.

She turned and walked out, just in time to see Wilbur walking towards her.

"Miss Lily." Wilbur greeted Amelia politely.

Although he didn't know Amelia's identity, he could sense that even Ruth was very respectful to Amelia, so he naturally knew that the mysterious girl in front of him was no ordinary person.

"Wilbur, have you found anything?" Amelia asked.

“We made some discoveries in the basement here and saw quite a few people being held captive,” Wilbur replied. “We also found quite a few people in the other rooms, but those people were much more docile than those still struggling in the basement.”

Amelia understood the situation.

Taking advantage of the current chaos, the Redeemers have captured many people to be slaves. Those who are disobedient are locked in basements, and various methods are used to try to make them obey.

Those that have already obeyed can be brought to the ground.

"What does the Redeemers intend to do with these slaves? Is it just for trading? If so, with whom are they trading?" Amelia asked again.

“I don’t know, I have no information on that,” Wilbur shook his head.

At that moment, Eileen walked over from one end of the corridor, carrying Howard in her arms.

Howard looked extremely disheveled, with one arm hanging limply and his face exceptionally pale.

Upon seeing this, Amelia called out, "Ruth."

Ruth quickly came out of the room, her gaze falling on Howard.

“He’s now yours to interrogate,” Amelia gestured.

“I understand.” Ruth nodded, then asked, “Did Miss Lily already figure out they were involved in slavery?”

“That’s not all,” Amelia replied. “I suspect they have connections with the Kingdom of Bagus. Remember to ask them about that during the interrogation.”

"The Kingdom of Baghs... I understand!"

Upon hearing Amelia's words, Ruth's gaze immediately sharpened.

She had Wilbur bring Howard along, intending to find a place to interrogate him properly.

As for the captured slaves, they were dealt with by the guards brought by Ruth.

Amelia and Irene didn't need to do much, so they strolled around the house and slowly made their way to the third-floor corridor.

“Not all the Redeemers are here, especially their leader, Barrett. If you spot anyone nearby, Eileen, go and capture them immediately,” Amelia instructed.

"I understand," Eileen nodded firmly.

==========

Barrett was a man with a small mustache, wearing a gray-brown trench coat and a hat. He stood in the snow, and the wind and snow blew by, making his figure look somewhat thin.

Barrett's expression flickered as he gazed at the Redeemer Alliance's outpost in the distance.

From his distance, he couldn't see what was wrong over there. Under normal circumstances, he would have just gone back and bumped into the people there, getting arrested.

But knowing there was a problem over there, he naturally wouldn't go.

Just then, Barrett noticed someone approaching from the shadows of the corner of the wall, and his gaze immediately sharpened: "Who is it?"

"it's me."

The figure in the shadows did not appear.

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Barrett breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately became angry and asked, "What's going on? What happened?"
