But this time, all that could be heard was the knocking on the door; no breathing or heartbeat could be heard.

Who is this person?

Eileen immediately became alert and instinctively turned to face Amelia.

Just as Eileen chose to do this...

"boom!"

The room's window was suddenly flung open with a loud bang, and a dark figure swept in through the window.

Amelia was startled when she saw Eileen, who was about to open the door, suddenly turn back. She looked up in confusion and heard the sound of the window being smashed open.

"who?"

Amelia spoke instinctively, while simultaneously using the Wind God Dance Steps to try and retreat.

But I can't back out!

After the figure entered through the window, it pounced on her with astonishing speed, a speed that Amelia had never seen before. Even though she subconsciously used the Wind God's Dance Steps, she still couldn't dodge it.

Just as the shadowy figure was about to touch Amelia, Eileen flashed and stood between Amelia and the shadowy figure.

"what?"

This situation surprised the shadowy figure.

She knocked on the door to lure the person away, then came in through the window, intending to catch them off guard and achieve her goal in one fell swoop. But why wasn't the person lured away?

And wasn't the other party moving too fast?

Just as she stood between Amelia and the shadowy figure, Eileen picked up a sword, its surface gleaming with a faint silver light, and slashed it forward.

High-ranking apostle!

Upon seeing Eileen make her move, the shadowy figure made this judgment.

She wasn't surprised by the existence of high-ranking apostles, after all, Buck from the Kingdom of Bagus and Rita from the Kingdom of Akti were both high-ranking apostles, but they died because of the Star River Territory.

Galaxy Territory naturally has high-ranking apostles!

But why is this high-ranking apostle different from the other high-ranking apostles she has seen? He seems... to be more powerful?

As the thought flashed through his mind, the shadowy figure swiftly struck out, slapping the blade of Eileen's sword with a palm. Though it was just a bare palm, it produced a crisp sound.

Eileen felt an immense force emanating from the sword, making it almost impossible for her to hold onto it.

'No, I should let go. If I hold on, my body will be pulled off balance by the sword, making this person a threat to His Majesty.'

Eileen's mind was very clear, and she judged the situation almost instantly, letting go of his hand immediately.

"Whoosh!"

As Eileen released her grip, the sword flew out with the force of the shadow's strike, embedding itself deeply into the wall.

Irene herself was unaffected. With a slight movement of her feet, she arrived beside Amelia, hugged Amelia, and leaped away from her original position, choosing not to fight the enemy head-on.

Because of just a simple collision, Eileen realized just how terrifying her opponent's strength was.

This is an apostle beyond the rank of apostle!

"A truly unexpected high-ranking apostle."

The shadowy figure sighed again, then nimbly leaped closer. The body under the cloak looked very petite, but it brought an extremely strong sense of oppression.

Eileen's gaze narrowed.

She bent her knees slightly, intending to hug Amelia and continue retreating, but there wasn't much space for her to dodge in the room. What seemed like a simple approach from her opponent actually occupied a very good position. No matter which direction she dodged, her opponent could catch up with her in the shortest amount of time.

What should I do?

Even Eileen sensed trouble at this moment.

“Miss Renee, what are you trying to do? Just because we can't reach an agreement, are you going to kill people and take the supplies?” Amelia spoke up at this moment.

She couldn't tell the shadowy figure's true identity from its appearance, but she could tell that Eileen seemed to be outmatched.

Amelia has always been very confident in Irene's strength. If an opponent can make Irene feel inferior, then the opponent must be a transcendent apostle.

When it comes to super-ranking apostles at this time, the only person Amelia can think of is undoubtedly Renee.

As Amelia spoke, the approaching figure paused.

How did you know it was me?

The shadowy figure... no, it should be Renee, very decisively lifted her hood, letting her long gray hair flutter in the wind, and at the same time removed her mask, revealing her beautiful face.

Renee was surprised that her identity was discovered, but at this moment she felt that it didn't matter even if she was recognized.

The reason I concealed my identity before was simply because I thought that if I mistook someone for someone else, I could hide my identity and retreat without letting anyone know that it was me who made the move.

But now that she has confirmed Amelia's identity through some details, she naturally no longer needs to hide it.

"Because I smelled Miss Renee's fragrance. Miss Renee smells really good," Amelia replied casually, making up an excuse.

The fragrance on her body?

Renee was a little surprised. Did she smell nice?

She resisted the urge to sniff herself and looked at Amelia, saying, "Now that you've discovered my identity, I won't hide it anymore. Let's have a proper talk."

“Miss Renee, perhaps you could have had a proper talk from the start instead of taking action,” Amelia said, hugging Eileen’s neck.

At this moment, Eileen was still holding Amelia in a princess carry, ready to leave at any time. Although Renee had shown a peaceful demeanor again, no one would be careless when facing a super-ranked apostle.

“You’re right, my actions were a bit rough, and I’m very sorry for the offense. I just had something I urgently needed to confirm,” Renee readily admitted her mistake.

She looked at the half-mask on Amelia's face.

She secretly made her move, intending to directly lift Amelia's mask to see what Amelia actually looked like, but she didn't expect that this action would not be completed immediately.

This made Renee take a few more glances at Eileen. Her inability to succeed immediately was undoubtedly due to Eileen's unexpected abilities.

Although she was unable to quickly remove Amelia's mask, she became increasingly certain of Amelia's identity because she noticed the abilities Amelia had displayed when she tried to avoid her.

That's the Wind God's Dance!

This is a skill that only a bard with faith can master; how could a human possibly possess it?

The other party is undoubtedly a half-elf!

Adding to previous speculations, the identity of the other party is becoming increasingly clear.

"So eager to confirm? What is it, Miss Renee? Please feel free to speak your mind," Amelia asked, with a hint of wariness.

“Then I will speak frankly.” Renee looked intently at Amelia and asked, “Miss Lily, is your real name Amelia Steele?”

When the name was uttered, the entire room seemed to fall into an unusual silence.

Amelia's gaze narrowed, her body stiffened, and the speed of her blood flow seemed to quicken. Her breathing accelerated, and her chest heaved slightly.

As for Eileen, she tensed up as well, never expecting that this difficult elf would actually reveal her own king's name.

Sensing the sudden shift in the atmosphere, Renee added, "Don't misunderstand, I mean no harm. I came here in good spirits. If you are Amelia, I think we can have a lot of collaboration."

"Coming with a friendly attitude?" Amelia looked into Renee's eyes and knew that her identity could no longer be hidden.

“Yes, I am a member of the Nature faction of the Elven Court. I don’t know if you’ve heard of it, but the elves of the Nature faction are very friendly, unlike the Falcon faction, the Gale faction, and the Beast faction…” Renee said slowly.

The system of the Elven Kingdom is very different from that of human countries. Although they all obey the Elven Queen, there are factional infighting, each ruling its own way, and many conflicts between them.

"The Nature faction... Well then, let me ask you something." Amelia looked at Renee seriously and asked, "Which faction did the elves who led the three kingdoms to destroy the Kingdom of Steel belong to?"

"You even know about this kind of thing?" Renee seemed a little surprised.

There are no secrets that stay hidden forever.

"It seems that Miss Amelia is much more outstanding than people imagine."

"No need for such praise. Please answer my question, Miss Renee from the Natural School."

Amelia looked intently at Renee.

Renee no longer hid the truth and answered, "The Gale Party."

The Gale School?

Amelia nodded knowingly.

In fact, she already knew about this matter. She had learned about it through the comments from viewers in the past. Asking about it now was just to verify whether Renee would tell the truth.

If the other party is willing to tell the truth, then they can have a better follow-up communication.

If the other party is lying, then you need to be careful.

Fortunately, Renee was not lying. It was the Storm Faction that instigated the destruction of the Kingdom of Steel by the three kingdoms!

Eileen was learning for the first time about the fall of the Kingdom of Steel, and that elves were behind it all. Her expression changed slightly, and she felt a great deal of turmoil in her heart.

No wonder His Majesty used to say that elves were enemies...

Eileen thought to herself, pursing her lips and trying her best to control her expression and emotions.

Regardless of the nature of the conflict between the Kingdom of Steel and the elves, she knew Amelia would handle it well. All she needed to do was protect Amelia; she didn't need to think about too many other issues.

Amelia had no idea how many thoughts were flashing through Eileen's mind at that moment.

After receiving an answer from Renee, she raised her hand and removed the half-mask from her face.

“Miss Renee, thank you for your answer. Then I will no longer hide it. Yes, I am Amelia Steele, a poor woman who has lost her kingdom.”

Beneath the mask was a fair and beautiful face.

Although Amelia's identity had long been confirmed, Renee was still overjoyed to receive Amelia's confirmation.

She thought her plan, which had been aborted, could finally continue.

“I’m sorry, Miss Amelia. Although the destruction of the Kingdom of Steel had nothing to do with the Nature Faction, it was ultimately the work of the Elves, and I am saddened by it.”

The Wind Faction and the Nature Faction are two deeply conflicted factions, and Renee will not truly consider the Wind Faction as one of her own, nor will she have any identification with them.

“Since this matter has nothing to do with the Nature Faction, I won’t hold a grudge. Of course, I don’t have the ability to hold a grudge either,” Amelia said with a self-deprecating tone, then said to Eileen, “Put me down.”

Eileen nodded and put Amelia down.
