The palace was somewhat dilapidated after the great battle. The queen sat high on her throne, but she was not as domineering as before. The female guards in front of her had tattered armor and were half-covered in blood.
The Queen looked at the guard and asked, "My guard, why are you still here when the country is destroyed and the family is ruined, while everyone else has abandoned me?"
The guard replied, "Protecting His Majesty is my duty."
The Queen sighed, "Your duties are over. From now on, you are no longer my guard, and you may leave."
The guards remained stationary.
The Queen asked, puzzled, "Why do you want to stay?"
The guard replied, "I exist for the Queen, regardless of whether she still holds the throne or still rules the country."
The Queen remained silent.
The silence didn't last long. The rebel army stormed into the palace. The female guard drew her sword and turned to stand alone in front of the queen.
Amelia was initially lost in thought about Eileen, but as she watched the unfolding drama on stage, she couldn't help but become somewhat dazed, feeling that the play shared some similarities with her own experiences.
This is too coincidental, right?
Amelia thought to herself.
At this moment, the female elf audience member to her left seemed to be going to the restroom, and left a piece of paper on her seat after getting up.
Amelia glanced at it; it was a promotional advertisement for a play. Once a play was ready, it was usually advertised in various parts of the City of Nature to attract people.
The advertisement prominently featured a line that moved Amelia deeply.
"This content is adapted from the destroyed kingdom of Steel."
The elves naturally didn't know all the inside stories of the destruction of the Kingdom of Steel, so most of the plot was made up, only using a little bit of the template. But even with these templates, Amelia still felt a bit of déjà vu.
After learning the situation, Amelia was somewhat speechless.
'So this play has something to do with me? Did your puppet theater pay any royalties? No, right?'
Despite the complaints, Amelia wouldn't actually ask anyone for any copyright fees.
Her gaze returned to the stage.
In the end, the female guard led the queen out of the encirclement, and from then on, they lived a life of freedom and happiness.
This drama has now come to an end.
As the play came to a close, the once quiet hall gradually became noisy. One by one, the elves stood up, preparing to leave. As they left, they were all talking to each other. Most of the elves were quite satisfied with the ups and downs of the play.
“Let’s go back too,” Amelia said to Eileen beside her.
Eileen nodded.
==========
Listening to the Wind House.
The door to the seventh-floor room opened, and Amelia and Irene finally returned.
On the way back, they remained silent and didn't say a word to each other.
This made Eileen feel conflicted. She felt that Amelia should say something to her and was waiting for Amelia to say something to her, but Amelia didn't say anything, which made her feel more and more uncomfortable.
As the door closed, Eileen finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Your Majesty, do you have anything to say about my unauthorized battle with that elf?"
Amelia: "..."
She hadn't expected Eileen to ask that question first.
Would Eileen have acted this way in the past?
Without realizing it, Eileen has changed quite a bit.
Amelia took off her wide-brimmed hat and placed it on the table, her long, slightly wavy, light golden hair fluttering gently in the breeze blowing in from the window.
She turned to look at Eileen and met her beautiful, ruby-like eyes.
"What do you want to say?" Amelia smoothed her long hair, which was a little messy from the wind, and her eyes immediately became serious. "Since Eileen wants me to say something, then I'll say it seriously."
Eileen immediately tensed up.
She wouldn't get nervous even after a tough battle, but she would get nervous when facing Amelia because of Amelia's behavior.
Amelia approached Eileen, saying as she walked, "First of all, Eileen, why did you take it upon yourself to fight someone? Although you are very strong, and I know you are very strong, your opponent is, after all, a divine child. No one knows what kind of trump card he may have. What if you get injured fighting him rashly? I remember saying before that even if Eileen has the ability to heal through blood activation, I still don't want to see Eileen get hurt."
Eileen lowered her head.
"And why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you tell me before you left?"
Amelia stopped in front of Eileen, pursed her lips, and said, "Perhaps you think that by telling me this, I won't agree to let you go into battle, but I still hope that you can tell me what happened first, Eileen. Do you know how fast my heart raced when I realized something was wrong? Do you know how scared I was? What if Eileen messed up? Those terrible thoughts kept popping into my mind!"
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty..." Eileen clutched the hem of her dress with both hands, her voice very low.
"It's good that nothing bad happened this time, but who knows what might happen if a similar situation arises again? So, Eileen!" Amelia took a deep breath: "If a similar situation occurs again in the future, you must tell me first, no matter what. I...I..."
Amelia paused at this point.
At the beginning of her speech, she had a sharp, questioning edge, but as she spoke, that edge disappeared, and she became somewhat vulnerable.
After all, she couldn't really question Eileen; all that sharpness was just an act, but she couldn't keep up the act for long.
Her hands fell to her sides, her left hand grasping her right wrist in front of her. She turned her head slightly and her voice softened: "I really don't want to live in fear anymore, Eileen."
Looking at Amelia, who exuded a delicate and fragile aura, Eileen raised her head: "Your Majesty..."
Amelia didn't blame her; she was just worried about her.
Her inner tension finally dissipated, her eyes softened, and she immediately stepped forward and hugged Amelia tightly.
Chapter 188 Eileen Becomes Famous
Time flew by and it was evening.
The city of nature is brightly lit at night, like daytime, and the streets are filled with the figures of elves, making it exceptionally lively.
The hustle and bustle of the distant streets could be heard even on the seventh floor of the Listening Wind House, but it didn't feel too noisy. On the contrary, it felt just right. Sometimes, excessive quietness can be more unsettling.
After Amelia and Irene cleared things up, life went back to normal.
Amelia had just finished her meditation for the day and turned to look at Eileen, only to find Eileen staring at her.
Their eyes met, and neither of them looked away.
"Eileen, why are you looking at me like that? Aren't you going to meditate?"
"I have just finished meditating. I am looking at Your Majesty because I want to protect you."
"But... I do feel a little uncomfortable when you keep staring at me."
Amelia was a little embarrassed.
She recalled something she had learned from the comments section: viewers said that Eileen was always watching her, no matter the occasion.
To be honest, she herself didn't realize this situation, but the comments on the screen all revealed this information, so it must be true, right?
The thought of someone watching her all the time made Amelia feel uneasy. Even if it was someone protecting her, did they have to be watching her so closely?
“I’m sorry, Your Majesty, then I won’t keep a close eye on you from now on.” Eileen noticed Amelia’s unease and immediately said this.
She decided to make her gaze more subtle so that Amelia wouldn't easily notice. If she couldn't be detected, she wouldn't feel awkward, right?
Amelia had no idea what Eileen was thinking, and breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this: "That's good."
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Eileen immediately went to open the door.
Outside the door stood an elf with long gray-white hair and deep blue eyes, wearing a light-colored elf-style dress; it was Renee.
At this moment, Renee's expression was somewhat strange. After the door opened, her gaze fell on Eileen.
“Miss Renee, is there anything I can help you with?” Amelia asked as she approached.
Hearing Amelia's voice, Renee turned her gaze away and said with a smile, "You guys really surprised me. You even got into a conflict with the Falcon Faction elves while out shopping."
“Miss Renee already knows about this, but it’s not that we’re going to have a conflict with the Falcon Faction. It’s that their elves are causing us trouble. I think the leader’s name is Edin.”
"Is that Elmer?"
"It doesn't matter what his name is anymore. In short, they're the ones who caused trouble, and whatever their fate, they deserve it."
Amelia then recounted how she and Eileen had bought weapons, and how Elmer had intercepted them after she had already paid for them.
After understanding the situation, Renee nodded slightly: "I understand. It's probably because you are all competitors for the elven inheritance that Elmer came to cause you trouble."
"Is it possible that the Falcon Faction is actually allied with the Gale Faction? Because the Gale Faction wants to target me, but because Lady Monica can't easily intervene, they've sent the Falcon Faction to do it?" Amelia immediately brought this up.
This information was confirmed through the comments section, and she felt there was absolutely no problem.
Renee shook her head upon hearing this: "The Gale Faction and the Falcon Faction shouldn't have any connection. Their relationship doesn't seem very good on the surface. Don't overthink it. It's common for rivals for the elven inheritance to have conflicts with each other."
Seeing Renee's response, Amelia didn't bring up the matter of the Wind Faction and the Falcon Faction joining forces again. After all, she didn't have any conclusive evidence, and what she said was just one side of the story in other people's eyes.
"To be honest, the final outcome of this matter still surprised me a bit." Renee gave Eileen a strange look: "Miss Eileen, I knew before that you were quite strong, but being able to defeat a divine child is still beyond my expectations."
"It was just luck; Edin simply didn't value me enough," Eileen replied modestly.
“Whether it was luck or not, the result is enough to make Elmer lose face... Speaking of which, why did you two both forget his name? His name is Elmer, not Edin.” Renee looked at the two of them helplessly.
“Names are unimportant, just as Edin himself is unimportant,” Amelia said nonchalantly.
Renee: "..."
Elmer was ultimately just a god's child from the opposing side, and she couldn't be bothered to correct his real name.
“This matter is not over yet,” Renee continued. “Miss Eileen did injure Elmer, and quite badly at that. Even if they started the trouble first, the Falcon Faction will not turn a blind eye.”
“What do they want to do?” Amelia asked.
Amelia already knew that the Falcon Faction wouldn't let this go, but not because of Elmer's injury. Rather, it was after learning of the Falcon Faction's collusion with the Gale Faction that she understood the Falcon Faction's attention would never leave her.
Just as the Whirlwind faction is the enemy.
The Falconers are undoubtedly the enemy!
“They’re probably trying to get revenge right now,” Renee said with a smile. “Actually, the reason I came here is because the Falcon Faction has arrived at our Listening Wind House and is clamoring to see you.”
"Someone's here? Who is it?" Amelia asked immediately.
