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

Chapter 43 The Innocent Amelia

Before long, a girl with long, smooth, light blue hair appeared in the mirror.

She was wearing a white halter dress with lots of lace, the skirt was held up high by a petticoat, revealing a pair of long, slender legs covered in white pantyhose, and high heels.

Wearing such high heels made it difficult for Eileen to walk.

"Miss Leah, you can't do this. If you do, it will be very difficult for me to protect you."

Eileen was somewhat uneasy.

She had never worn shoes like these before, and her calves would shake when she walked.

"Well, I guess I'll have to wear flats then. But if I don't wear heels, I'll be taller than you."

Amelia smiled and changed Irene's shoes into a pair of flat shoes.

Afterwards, she personally styled Eileen's hair. Unlike her curly long hair, which looked best when loose, Eileen's long hair had a lot of room for manipulation, so Amelia simply tied it into pigtails.

When Eileen saw her hairstyle in the mirror, her face turned red.

In this world, pigtails are usually worn by younger girls, and she was not used to this hairstyle.

"It suits her very well. Eileen looks absolutely beautiful with just a little bit of makeup on," Amelia said, looking at Eileen with satisfaction.

Is it beautiful?

Hearing Amelia's praise, Eileen felt a strange emotion stirring within her.

She had never dressed up before, not even in a simple way, and Amelia's actions brought her a completely new and novel experience.

【awsl】

[Awei, run!]

[Lick lick lick!]

[As expected of my Eileen, she looks beautiful no matter what she wears. Amelia, please step up your efforts!]

[Eileen herself doesn't know how to dress up; in the original storyline, she practically never dressed up at all. I've never seen Eileen like this before.]

[Amelia's power increased by 1!]

Seeing the comments, Amelia smiled to herself.

Because when she takes a shower or changes clothes, the viewer's view is obscured by a holy light, she is not worried about being seen.

“Let’s go, let’s continue.” Amelia walked outside.

"Miss Leah, where are we going next?" Eileen asked, following closely behind Amelia.

"Where should I go? That is indeed a question. Let me think about it. I want an identity that will allow me to live a stable life in the Duchy of Luban for the time being. So, what should I do?"

Amelia deliberately pretended to be deep in thought, but her eyes were actually fixed on the comments section.

As she expected, the live chat immediately erupted with discussion after she said that, with a large amount of discussion appearing.

As Amelia watched these comments, she seemed to be deep in thought.

“Let’s continue north, Eileen.”

"Yes, Miss Leah."

The two left the inn, got back into the carriage, and drove away from the town.

==========

April 23th, 720th year of the Heavenly Calendar.

On the road outside Beard, the capital of the Principality of Luban, a caravan was traveling at a leisurely pace, the sound of turning wheels and the voices of the caravan members mingling together.

Bryce Whitley was the leader of the caravan; he had short blond hair and a robust physique.

"Stop."

Suddenly, Bryce raised his hand and looked up ahead.

On the road ahead, a carriage was parked alone by the roadside. Two beautiful young women, dressed in gorgeous clothes, were repairing the carriage wheels. Their long, light blue hair shone brightly in the sunlight.

Are they sisters?

Seeing that the person in front of him seemed harmless, Bryce rode his horse closer.

Hearing the sound of hooves, the two girls also looked up.

"Who are you? Are you a caravan?" the girl with long, slightly wavy, light blue hair asked as Bryce approached.

“That’s right, we are a caravan. And who are you?” Bryce asked.

"Thank goodness, we finally saw a caravan, not those despicable thieves." The girl looked very innocent, her bright blue eyes sparkling, making her endearing.

“Thieves? It seems the two beautiful ladies have had a rather unfortunate encounter,” Bryce concluded.

In the Principality of Luban, where thieves roam freely, it is very common to encounter people who have been attacked by thieves and managed to escape. The two girls who appeared before him were judged by Bryce to be such unlucky people.

"Yes, we were before..."

The innocent girl, Amelia, began to fabricate her past, saying that she and her sister followed their family's caravan to the capital, Beard, but they encountered brutal bandits along the way, resulting in heavy casualties in the caravan and the theft of their goods. Only the two sisters escaped with the desperate protection of their guards.

“Our fate was so tragic. Not only did we encounter thieves, but on the terrifying journey to Beard, the carriage wheels broke down and it took us a long time to fix them. We’ve never done anything like this before; every minute of that time was torture,” Amelia said, tears welling up in her eyes.

“We sympathize with your plight, but Beard City isn’t that far away. We believe you can reach Beard City safely,” Bryce said, his eyes flashing.

“I hope so, but if possible, could we travel with you? You’re also heading to Beard City, right?” Amelia asked expectantly.

“Traveling together? Of course, ladies, let us travel together.” Bryce gave a gentle smile.

“Thank you so much, Mr. Bryce, you are truly a gentleman,” Amelia said gratefully.

"Come with me."

Bryce turned his horse around, and Amelia and Eileen exchanged a glance before getting into the carriage and driving it closer.

[What a coincidence! Amelia actually ran into these guys?]

[Hopefully Amelia and Irene won't get tricked; after all, these guys aren't merchants, they're thieves.]

These guys shouldn't be a match for Eileen, no need to worry.

[We don't need to worry about direct confrontation, but they might use poison. In the original storyline, they wiped out an entire earl's family in the Duchy of Luban through poisoning—that's terrifying.]

I hope you are safe and sound.

[What are you worried about? Amelia and Irene could have gone directly to Beard City, but they deliberately stopped here and blended into the caravan. This looks like a premeditated plan, doesn't it?]

Amelia chuckled to herself as she read the comments.

She already knew these guys were thieves, and she deliberately appeared at this time and place to make contact with them.

Chapter 44 Thieves

I'll update a little more early Monday morning in an attempt to climb the click rankings, but since it's just an update without any treasure chests or favors, I definitely won't be able to climb to the top. I'll be happy if I can get a little bit closer to the top.

==========

Amelia and Irene's carriage followed Bryce and the others' carriage, heading towards Beard City together.

"Boss, what's this...?"

Inside the convoy, someone approached Bryce and whispered inquiries about the situation.

Bryce answered quietly.

"So you're the beautiful lady who encountered thieves. That's so pitiful. Now, come with us to Beard City. I'm sure there won't be any more dangers along the way."

After learning the situation, the caravan members all showed friendly smiles.

Amelia responded to each of these friendly smiles.

However, she noticed that the caravan's route had begun to deviate, slowly leaving the original road and heading into the mountains.

She and Eileen pretended not to notice.

A few days ago, when Amelia pretended to talk to herself and asked how she could live a peaceful life in the Principality of Luban, many comments appeared on the screen, offering many constructive suggestions.

Amelia's actions today stemmed from comparing the information she had gathered.

According to the information she had gathered, the caravan members were actually thieves whose purpose was to travel to Beard City to find the Hicks family, the Earl's family, to claim kinship.

Bryce and his gang of thieves were not actually related to the Hicks family. They had only discovered after robbing and killing some people that the dead were actually distant relatives of the Hicks family who were preparing to go to Beard City to seek refuge with the Hicks family.

Based on the available information, the thieves deduced that the Hicks family's distant relatives and members had never met, and that their identities were determined entirely by tokens. This led them to consider impersonating the family members.

After all, that's an earl family.

How long would it take a thief to steal the wealth of an earl's family?

After making some preparations, they set off for Beard.

Their plan seemed far-fetched at first glance, but Amelia learned from the comments that the thieves had succeeded. They would successfully infiltrate the Hicks family, and after spending several months ascertaining the Hicks family's assets, they would poison and kill everyone in the family and escape with their wealth.

In the original storyline, Eileen was not involved in this matter, but the news of the entire earl family dying was so shocking that it made it into newspapers in various countries.

The newspapers at the time reported on the incident in detail, and there were even photos of the thieves, which is why the public knew about it.

After learning about this from the audience, Amelia had already made her decision.

She wanted the identity of a distant relative of the Hicks family!

After leaving the territory of the former Kingdom of Steel, Amelia was, to be honest, homeless.

But she knew what she needed: she needed time for herself and Eileen to grow, which required a stable environment and a suitable identity.

Being a relative of an earl's family seems like a pretty good thing.

Since a group of thieves could fool the Hicks family in the original story, I can most likely succeed as well.

For this reason, Amelia arrived at the place ahead of time. She and Irene pretended to be repairing the tires of the carriage there, refused three invitations from passing caravans to join them, and dealt with a group of foolish thieves before finally waiting for Bryce and his party.

Chapter 45 Target

Human nature is very difficult to change.

This is especially true for thieves.
