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

Feeling his strength rapidly fading, Wilbur barely managed to raise one hand and reach out to Ruth.

He seemed to beg for mercy, but he could no longer speak.

“You say I never gave you a chance, so you’ve come to this point because you couldn’t have me. But Wilbur,” Ruth looked intently at Wilbur, “my husband isn’t exactly a man of high status either, but I still chose him because he’s a kind-hearted person. And you, you’ve never cared about ordinary people, have you? You’ve always considered the vast majority of people as inferiors, haven’t you?”

Wilbur was vomiting and coughing and could not answer.

Ruth continued, "I made you the Knight Commander in an attempt to change you, to make you focus more on the people. But now it seems I've been a complete failure."

Wilbur collapsed in the snow, his body twitched once, and then he lay still, his blood staining the snow crimson.

he died.

Seeing this, Ruth withdrew her gaze, no longer looking at Wilbur's corpse. Now that she knew what kind of person Wilbur truly was, she no longer cared about him; to her, he was nothing more than a damned enemy.

Ruth started walking towards the alley where Amelia and Barrett had left, intending to catch up with them and help Amelia deal with Barrett.

However, as soon as Ruth entered the alley, she saw Amelia staggering towards her, the half-mask on her face removed, revealing a beautiful face.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Ruth asked instinctively, and quickly stepped forward to support Amelia.

“Oh, it’s Ruth. Are you alright too?” Amelia glanced at Ruth.

“Yes, I am, after all, a mid-level apostle, and Wilbur cannot threaten me,” Ruth replied.

As she spoke, she glanced behind Amelia but did not see Barrett.

"You don't need to look anymore. That guy went the wrong way and didn't catch up with me," Amelia said slowly, her breath sweet as orchids.

Ruth nodded knowingly, feeling that Amelia was quite lucky to have escaped from the clutches of Barrett, a mid-level apostle. This was probably related to the dark environment of the alley and the relentless snowstorm.

At this moment, Ruth noticed Amelia behind her, gently wrapping her arms around her waist, and a question mark appeared above her head.

What is Your Majesty trying to do?

Despite having given birth, Ruth still has a great figure, with an exceptionally slender waist that Amelia can easily wrap her arms around with just one hand.

She rested her rounded chin on Ruth's shoulder, her breath, warm and moist, falling on Ruth's neck, making Ruth feel a little ticklish.

"His Majesty?"

Ruth spoke instinctively.

Amelia didn't speak. Her fingers then landed on Ruth's stomach, gliding gently across it as if drawing circles.

Even through her clothes, Ruth could clearly feel the sensation on her stomach, and a strange feeling welled up inside her, causing her to instinctively squeeze her legs together tightly.

She had no idea what Amelia was going to do, but since it was Amelia, she couldn't resist whatever she was about to do. She could only stand there, frozen, and let Amelia do as she pleased.

"Whoosh..."

Amidst the wind and snow, a figure quickly approached and disappeared into the alley.

Amelia and Ruth both looked over upon hearing the sound.

In the alley, the girl's long silver hair was blown by the wind, and her black and white maid outfit outlined her graceful figure.

The person who arrived was Eileen.

Upon seeing Eileen, Amelia regained some clarity and quickly released Ruth.

"Eileen, how are things going on your end?"

"Things went very smoothly over there. Everyone was rescued, and the fire in the clock tower has been extinguished."

"That's good."

Amelia said as she walked toward Eileen.

After walking a few steps, Amelia turned back to Ruth and said, "Ruth, Eileen and I will go after Barrett. You go and take care of the rest."

"I understand, Your Majesty."

Ruth breathed a sigh of relief and quickly withdrew.

Although she didn't know what Amelia had just been doing, at least for now, His Majesty seemed to have returned to normal.

As Ruth left, Amelia came to Eileen's side, took Eileen's arm, leaned against her, and rested her head on Eileen's shoulder.

"Your Majesty?" Eileen noticed that Amelia was acting strangely.

“Eileen, I’ve actually already taken care of that Barrett. Although he was a mid-level apostle, just like me, he was no match for me at all,” Amelia said softly.

"With Your Majesty's abilities, the enemy is naturally not a concern."

"So, Eileen, you don't have any thoughts on this?"

"Thinking?"

Eileen was somewhat confused.

Amelia's voice carried a hint of coquettishness: "Why don't you praise me? I won the fight!"

Eileen: "..."

When did the Emperor she knew ever act coquettishly and try to curry favor? This was so unlike the Emperor.

While Eileen was still somewhat dazed, Amelia raised her head and stood in front of Eileen, her face very close to Eileen's, almost touching hers.

Chapter 140 Pretending nothing happened, doesn't it look like a family of three?

Seeing Amelia approaching, Eileen was startled and instinctively tried to take a step back, but then realized that her waist was being held and she couldn't move away at all.

"Tell me quickly, shouldn't you praise me?" Amelia said coquettishly.

Speaking at such close range, Amelia's breath was fully exhaled, which Eileen could clearly feel.

Amelia naturally didn't have bad breath; in fact, her breath had a pleasant fragrance, giving one the feeling of smelling flowers in the mountains and fields—a truly captivating scent.

Looking at Amelia's beautiful face and dreamy eyes up close, Eileen felt her heart beat a little faster.

'His Majesty seems to have been affected by some strange influence.'

At this moment, Eileen also realized what was wrong with Amelia.

“Eileen…”

Amelia spoke again, her voice even more coquettish, her sweet and endearing tone melting anyone's heart.

Eileen quickly replied, "Your Majesty is extremely capable and outstanding; it is only natural that you won."

"Yes, there's more."

"Your Majesty is very beautiful and smells wonderful."

"This isn't about fighting."

"Your Majesty's combat skills are superb; Your Majesty is truly outstanding."

Eileen wasn't particularly good at praising people, but looking at Amelia's exquisite and beautiful face, she still racked her brains to think of all sorts of compliments.

However, we can't keep praising them like this forever.

Eileen bent her right thumb and forefinger, and lightly scratched her forefinger with her thumbnail, leaving a bloody mark.

She decided to try and see if her blood-activating ability could restore Amelia to normal.

"Your Majesty, come, have a taste of my blood."

Eileen raised her hand, her fingers dripping with blood, and extended them towards Amelia, intending to drip a drop of blood into Amelia's mouth.

"Eileen's fingers? Hehehe."

Amelia gave a silly smile that she wouldn't normally show, then opened her mouth and took Eileen's entire finger into her mouth.

When Eileen realized that her fingers were surrounded by something damp, she was taken aback. At the same time, she felt Amelia's tongue playing tricks on them, sliding around.

This situation stirred up many strange feelings in Eileen's heart.

This is His Majesty.

At this moment, why would His Majesty act like a little pet and fawn over him?

No, what am I thinking? How could I possibly think of His Majesty as a little pet? Such thoughts are absolutely wrong.

At this moment, Eileen's mind was in turmoil.

Fortunately, Amelia's mind gradually cleared up.

As Eileen's blood took effect, the effects of the lust potion in Amelia's body quickly subsided, and she returned to normal in a short time.

But after returning to normal, Amelia's delicate body froze.

What am I doing?

Amelia remembers everything that has happened from the beginning to the present.

The thought of flirting with Ruth and acting coquettishly towards Eileen made Amelia's face burn with embarrassment.

Especially now, with Eileen's finger still in her mouth, she felt incredibly ashamed and indignant.

'That damn Barrett! He actually used that potion to ambush me and make me look foolish.'

Amelia wished Barrett would come back to life so she could kill him again.

But now that what was going to happen has happened, she can only pretend nothing's wrong and try to let things pass quickly.

Thinking this, Amelia released Eileen and stepped back.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Eileen asked upon seeing this.

This question almost made Amelia lose her composure. She tried her best to suppress the change in her expression and said calmly, "I was affected by the lust potion that Barret used before he died, but I have recovered now. Eileen, you did a great job."

"It's good that His Majesty is alright." Eileen breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Her Majesty just now really took a toll on her; it's good that she can recover. But... to be honest, Her Majesty looked much cuter than usual just now.

Amelia tried her best to remain calm, pretending nothing had happened, and changed the subject, saying, "Let's go back now."

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Eileen nodded.

Amelia took out the half of her mask that she had removed, put it back on her face, and headed back the way she came.

Eileen also put on her half-face mask.

The fire that broke out on the nearby clock tower has been extinguished, but the commotion still attracted a lot of people. At this moment, there are still many onlookers around the clock tower, pointing and talking about it.
