That town is called Snow Forest Town.
This is the closest town to Morington City, so it won't take Amelia and the others too long to get there. It only takes about half an hour for several carriages to arrive in Snowwood Town.
The town is named Snow Forest Town because of the abundance of forests within it. Although these forests appear bare and not particularly beautiful in winter, one can imagine that it will be a beautiful town in spring and summer.
Soon after, the carriage stopped outside a mansion.
Inside the carriage, Amelia looked at Ruth and asked, "What are your plans for handling this matter next?"
Ruth already had a plan, and she decisively said, "I will take action to arrest and interrogate the person directly, and I will also have someone investigate how much grain this wealthy merchant has hidden in his home, to find out the situation as quickly as possible."
Amelia nodded slightly: "Then I'll leave it to you to handle. If there are any problems, then let me and Eileen know."
She and Eileen did not intend to get off the carriage.
“No problem.” Ruth also felt that she was capable of handling such matters herself.
Ruth quickly got off the carriage and left, leaving only Amelia and Eileen inside.
"Eileen, open the carriage curtain," Amelia said, yawning.
"Why? Doesn't Your Majesty feel cold?" Eileen asked, puzzled.
"I just hope the cold wind can wake me up. I slept for a long time yesterday, but I still feel like I haven't woken up properly," Amelia said, sounding a bit sleepy.
"I understand."
Eileen lifted the carriage curtain.
Amelia also came to the side of the carriage curtain, letting the cold wind outside blow across her face, bringing a cool feeling that she found quite comfortable.
However, the drowsiness did not lessen.
She patted her cold face, but she was still sleepy.
People are like that; sometimes they feel wide awake even though they haven't slept much, while other times they feel even sleepier after sleeping for a long time.
Amelia didn't want to be sleepy, so she tried to wake herself up, but even the cold wind didn't seem to help.
Her head instinctively leaned to the side and rested on Eileen's shoulder.
Eileen: "..."
She turned her head to look at Amelia, whose pretty face was very serene, her eyes were closed, her long eyelashes blinked, and her appearance was very delicate, just like a porcelain doll.
Amelia eventually fell asleep.
Seeing this, Eileen lowered the carriage curtain, preventing Amelia from being exposed to the cold wind.
Although His Majesty wanted to stay awake by the cold wind, since he was already asleep, he should continue sleeping.
After a long while, footsteps could be heard outside.
Ruth is back.
Ruth's footsteps sounded hurried as she quickly reached the carriage and lifted the curtain: "Your Majesty, the situation... uh..."
She had intended to report some information, but she never expected that when she opened the carriage curtain, she would see Amelia resting her head on Eileen's shoulder.
“His Majesty is asleep,” Eileen replied.
“I can tell.” Ruth gave the two of them a strange look.
Even though Amelia was asleep, it still felt strange to fall asleep with her head on Eileen's shoulder.
"Is there something you need?" Eileen asked again.
"It's like this," Ruth told Eileen directly, "This matter seems to be related to elves?"
"Elves? They've set their sights on Star River Territory?"
Even Eileen frowned upon hearing the name of the Elf race.
The power of the elves has never been underestimated; it is comparable to that of an empire, making it impossible to ignore.
Furthermore, Eileen also remembered that Amelia had said that elves were enemies!
“It’s not that the elves have their eyes on Star River Territory.” Ruth organized her thoughts and explained the situation in detail.
She stated that the wealthy merchant caught this time had been buying up large quantities of grain and using force to buy it, in order to obtain enough grain to sell to the elves at a high price.
The elves have been buying up grain at high prices throughout the Chaotic Realm, prices that have tempted many, including wealthy merchants.
The wealthy merchant has even made contact with the elves, and the elves will most likely come to Star River Territory this winter to complete the transaction with the merchant.
"That's the situation." Ruth seemed somewhat helpless. "Now I don't know what to do. I have a reason to take down that wealthy merchant directly. He maliciously hoarded grain and forced others to buy his grain, which is enough for me to confiscate all of his grain. But I'm worried that if I do that, it will cause trouble when the elves arrive."
Ruth wasn't sure if losing her trading partner would anger the elves.
As for being asked to trade with the elves on behalf of the wealthy merchant, she was reluctant, because she had found a great deal of food this time, which could greatly alleviate the pressure she was facing if it could be used to provide for the poor residents of her territory.
After all, the supplies Amelia mentioned haven't arrived yet, and there's no clear news from the Harvest Adventurer Group.
“I understand the situation.” Eileen nodded and said, “Take the people away for now, and take all the food as well. As for the elves, I will explain the situation to His Majesty when he wakes up.”
"I understand. Then we'll head back to Morington City."
"Well, go back."
As Eileen spoke, she gently picked up Amelia and moved her from the entrance of the carriage to the innermost part of the carriage. She knelt down and let Amelia lie down, resting her head on her lap.
Ruth, standing outside the carriage, looked around and decided it wasn't appropriate for her to enter. She felt that her presence would disrupt the peaceful atmosphere.
"I'll take one of the other carriages."
"Ah."
Eileen didn’t care which carriage Ruth was going to ride in.
The carriage curtain was lowered.
Soon after, the carriages started moving again, heading back to Morington.
Of course, not everyone went back with them. Some stayed behind to guard the grain stockpiled by the wealthy merchants. Because there was too much grain, their wagons could not carry all the wagons back. So after returning to Morington, Ruth had to bring enough people and wagons to load the grain back.
==========
By the time Amelia woke up, a considerable amount of time had passed.
'Huh? How did I fall asleep again?'
Upon waking, Amelia instinctively propped herself up and found herself lying in her bedroom at the Galaxy Cradle Hotel.
This environment left Amelia somewhat bewildered; shouldn't she be in Snow Forest Town?
'Have I returned to the moment I woke up this morning? Is it like in those novels, where I'm stuck in a cycle of the same day for countless years? No, the dress I'm wearing is the one I changed into before going out.'
Amelia thought to herself as she glanced at the comments section.
[Amelia is finally awake! Why is she sleeping so much today? She might sleep like a log.]
I thought there would be some special plot in Snowwood Town, but it turned out to be just a scene where Amelia rests her head on Eileen's shoulder?
[And lap pillows, right? The best thing is when pretty girls are snuggling together!]
Hey, don't forget about the Pokémon! That's a crucial part of the plot!
As she watched the barrage of comments scrolling by, Amelia blinked.
Did she fall asleep with her head on Eileen's shoulder?
Eileen even gave herself a lap pillow?
Damn it, I was asleep at the time and don't remember anything about it. What does it feel like to have Eileen's lap pillow?
Wait, there are elves too?
These crucial words made Amelia's expression turn serious.
For Amelia, elves are absolutely not to be ignored, because she is a half-elf with divine blood, a status that makes many powerful elves see her as a thorn in their side and want to harm her.
However, after looking at the comments, Amelia felt a little relieved.
These elves did not come for her.
'Is it for buying grain? I remember now...'
Amelia remembered that not long after she arrived in this world, she encountered a group of elven envoys in Falcon City and learned that those elves had come to human society to purchase supplies.
According to the information provided by the comments at the time, we know that the winter in the Elf Forest will be exceptionally cold, so cold that even the elves cannot bear it. Therefore, all kinds of supplies are very important to the elves. They will send many elves to various countries in human society to purchase food. The one that Amelia encountered was just one of the elven delegations.
As Amelia pondered, the bedroom door opened, and Eileen came to the bedside.
"Your Majesty, you're awake? I have something to report."
"You say it."
"It's like this..."
Eileen was talking to Amelia about the elves. Although Amelia got a general idea from the comments, Eileen got more detailed information.
After a moment's thought, Amelia replied, "Go tell Ruth that we'll discuss the elves' matter after they actually arrive. As for that wealthy merchant who maliciously hoarded grain, don't be polite; deal with him as he sees fit."
If it were just a normal purchase of grain, that would be fine, but according to what we know, that wealthy merchant would force others to buy his grain, and would even deliberately cause trouble if they refused. So, this guy obviously can't be let off the hook.
"I see."
Eileen immediately left.
Amelia didn't stay in bed any longer. After getting up and rinsing her mouth, she began to meditate in her bedroom.
Not long after, Eileen returned.
Seeing Amelia deep in meditation, Eileen hesitated. She had something to tell Amelia, but seeing her meditating, she wasn't sure whether she should interrupt.
Although Amelia was meditating, she could still hear Irene's footsteps as she returned, and from the sound of Irene's footsteps, she could tell that Irene seemed to have something to say to her.
"Eileen, is there anything else?" Amelia stopped meditating.
“Your Majesty,” Eileen replied immediately when Amelia asked, “Ruth has received news about the Harvest Adventurers. It seems they have encountered great trouble in Springvale.”
"What trouble?" Amelia asked curiously.
"It's not entirely clear yet, but it seems to be related to thieves. Ruth is planning to go to Springvale."
"Thief..."
Upon hearing this title, Amelia narrowed her eyes.
