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

"Yes, 'rustic' music, it's the kind of music that's really catchy, but you wouldn't want to listen to it in front of others, it makes you feel inexplicably embarrassed."

"Such music does exist."

Elves are a race that loves art very much, and their music has been constantly evolving over thousands of years. It's perfectly normal for some music to have a rustic or unsophisticated feel to it.

Amelia said with a grin, "Then I'll have to ask Miss Renee to collect some of these corny music scores for me. They have to be widely circulated and make people feel embarrassed."

"……I see."

At that moment, for some reason, Renee suddenly felt a little looking forward to tomorrow.

Next, Renee went to find the sheet music for the corny music, while Amelia and Irene went back to their rooms first.

In the room, Amelia took a harp from a cabinet.

The harp didn't belong to her; it was already in her room, and now was the perfect time to use it.

Amelia sat by the window, with the gray sky as her back, her slender fingers gently plucking the strings of her instrument, playing a melodious tune.

A breeze blew, causing Amelia's light golden, slightly wavy hair to flutter, her pretty face showing a captivating expression of immersion in the music.

Eileen watched Amelia quietly from the side, and as she looked at her, she became somewhat mesmerized.

Your Majesty is so charming as you play music.

After a long while, the piece of music came to an end.

"Does Eileen also like listening to music?" Amelia asked with a smile as she looked at Eileen.

Hearing Amelia's voice, Eileen snapped out of her reverie and said, "I don't usually have much of a feeling for music, but hearing Your Majesty's performance, I felt the charm of music for the first time. I think I'll like it."

"Since Eileen likes it, how about I play a few more songs?"

"It is my honor to hear Your Majesty's performance."

"One more song, 'The Sorrow of the Forest'."

Amelia's slender fingers landed on the strings once more, and a slightly melancholic melody echoed through the room, carried by the winds of the City of Nature.

After half an hour.

"Dong dong dong."

A knock came at the door.

Amelia stopped playing the music. In the past half hour, she had played a lot of music and become more familiar with the harp... After all, she hadn't played an instrument for a long time, so it wouldn't hurt to get used to it.

Eileen opened the door, and it was Renee who came in.

“The music is good.” Renee walked in, clearly having heard Amelia’s performance earlier, and praised, “I didn’t expect Miss Amelia’s instrumental skills to be so outstanding. Even elves who specialize in the harp may not be able to surpass Miss Amelia at the same age.”

“Thank you for the compliment, Miss Renee.” Amelia thanked Renee, then asked, “Did you bring the sheet music for the corny music?”

"Of course, these are scores that were once very popular among elves."

Renee handed over a few pages of sheet music, her expression becoming somewhat strange, as if these corny tunes had reminded her of something.

Amelia took the sheet music and immediately began to look at it.

“Miss Amelia,” Renée asked, “you’re going to perform tomorrow morning. Is one day enough time for you to master the score?”

“No problem.” Amelia smiled and said, “This kind of rustic music usually has simple melodies and not too complicated content in order to make it easier to spread.”

"That's good. Miss Amelia, have you decided which song to choose?"

"It's decided."

Amelia made her decision quickly, her eyes sparkling as she looked at a page of sheet music.

The next step is practice, and you'll quickly master it.

However, the practice certainly couldn't be carried out openly in the room. After Amelia asked Renee for a soundproof room, Renee took Amelia to a soundproof room on the eighth floor.

The soundproof room has a barrier between two worlds, which can isolate the movement inside and outside.

A barrier can only be set up by an apostle who believes in the Book of Mystery. Elves cannot believe in the Book of Mystery, but they can ask humans who possess such abilities to help them set it up. If set up properly, a barrier can exist for a very long time.

With a soundproof room, Amelia no longer had any worries about practicing new music.

A day of practice passed in the blink of an eye.

==========

1 month 25 day.

The sky was still overcast today, and a cold wind was blowing constantly throughout the city of nature.

Amelia got up early in the morning, changed into a pretty elf-style dress, put on some hair accessories, and then walked out of the room with Eileen and Renee.

“Your battle will take place in the Listening Wind House,” Renee explained to Amelia. “On the ninth floor, there is a hall with a reinforced barrier. The battle there will not damage the area… Of course, the protection of the area is relative. At least the attacks of the higher-ranking apostles cannot damage it, which is enough for you and Tina to do your best.”

In addition to reinforcing the barrier, two layers of worlds were set up there to prevent any activity inside from being detected by the outside world.

“I understand.” Amelia nodded.

It didn't take the group much time to walk from the seventh floor to the ninth floor.

When Amelia arrived at the ninth floor, she looked up and saw that Cliff and Tina had already arrived.

"Elder Renee, you've arrived." Cliff greeted the three at the entrance of the battle hall with a smile. "What a joyous day this is, Elder Renee, wouldn't you agree?"

“Of course, today is a very happy day, but some people may not be able to be happy,” Renee said calmly.

After learning about Amelia's plans, she regained her confidence in Amelia.

“There will definitely be some people who won’t be happy today. Let me think who it is,” Cliff laughed, completely unconcerned.

In Cliff's view, Renee's calmness was just an act; he could only imagine how anxious she was inside. After all, Renee herself didn't want this battle to happen; it was all Amelia's doing.

Thinking of Amelia, Cliff looked at her again and found that she was also calm, and he couldn't tell what she was thinking.

Amelia then took a look at her opponent, Tina.

Tina's long, golden hair was very bright and smooth, cascading down her shoulders and adorned with a few hair accessories.

She held in her arms an alchemical weapon shaped like a harp, which bore some resemblance to the alchemical weapon "Poet" that Amelia had acquired.

In addition, Tina was also holding another real harp... Although the alchemical weapon resembled a harp, it was not a harp after all and could not be used to play melodies; a real harp was still needed for this.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

A light, rhythmic sound of footsteps came from the direction of the stairs.

Upon hearing footsteps, everyone knew who had arrived and turned around to look.

Monica wore white high heels and a white dress, her long silver hair flowing naturally. Her demeanor was elegant and beautiful, and her closed eyes did not diminish her charm; on the contrary, they gave her a special allure.

"Lady Monica!"

Upon seeing Monica, everyone quickly made way for her.

Monica arrived with a smile: "Now that everyone is here, let's enter the battle hall."

Meanwhile, Monica stepped forward, pushed open the door to the battle hall, and walked in.

The rest of the people followed and filed in.

The battle hall was very spacious and appeared completely enclosed; it was otherwise empty and purely a place for fighting.

Upon arriving, Monica turned to everyone and said, "I'm confirming one last time: Amelia and Tina will engage in a one-on-one battle. The winner will receive all the Meditation Potions. Do either of them have any objections?"

"I have no opinion."

"no disagreement."

Amelia and Tina answered at the same time.

Monica nodded slightly and said, "Then everyone else, please move to the edge of the hall and make room for Amelia and Tina."

As they spoke, Monica had already reached the edge of the hall. Renee, Cliff, and Irene also came to the edge, and all eyes were on Amelia and Tina.

It was only then that Cliff noticed that, in addition to carrying alchemical weapons, Amelia was also carrying a harp, just like Tina, which made him frown slightly.

Why does Amelia carry a harp?

Monica's voice came again: "You two can get ready. We will decide the outcome, as long as you don't intentionally kill anyone."

With Monica's words, the battle officially began.

At this moment, Amelia and Tina stood on opposite sides of the battle hall, with a certain distance between them.

'I must win this battle.'

Tina picked up the harp and her fingers moved quickly across it, plucking the strings in a blur of motion. In the blink of an eye, she was playing a rather stirring piece of music, trying to get her blood pumping.

Amelia was not to be outdone; she immediately recalled her intimate encounter with Eileen.

'Thinking about this kind of thing during battle is really weird.'

After recalling just a few scenes, Amelia blushed involuntarily, feeling something was off.

Regardless, it did have an effect; as she recalled those images, Amelia's blood began to boil slightly.

10%!

Monica's pointed ears twitched as she sensed the boiling point of Amelia and Tina's blood, discovering that both of them had reached 10%.

Just then, Amelia made her move.

There was no need for her to wait for the other party to finish preparing before making her move. After placing the harp on the ground, she recalled their intimate moments while picking up the alchemical weapon "Poet" and directly aimed the bow at Tina.

The sigh of the wind!

Amelia released the bowstring, and the blue arrow immediately shot out, transforming into a blue light that arrived in front of Tina.

Tina was playing rousing music on her harp to get herself excited, but she was oblivious to what was happening outside.

The harp was bound to her body with ropes, allowing her to play it with one hand. With the other hand, she picked up her alchemical weapon and swung it forward, smashing it directly into the flying blue arrow and easily shattering it on the spot.

'A double shot?'

A thought flashed through Tina's mind.

As Tina shattered the blue arrow, she noticed that a second arrow was following its tail, but this did not surprise her, as she was familiar with the ability of the Sigh of the Wind.

"boom!"

Tina swung her alchemical weapon again, shattering the second blue arrow.
