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

"Don't dwell on the past. From now on, just live your life in Beard City."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Victor."

Amelia and Victor chatted easily, and Mrs. Beryl joined in, the three of them enjoying their conversation.

[Is Amelia really that good at socializing? How did she manage to sneak in?]

Perhaps Viktor was too concerned about the authenticity of the token, so once he confirmed it was genuine, he truly considered Amelia one of his own.

[Actually, Victor had already subtly inquired about Amelia's situation in Hale Town, and Amelia had handled it all with ease; she wasn't really that easy to fool.]

In short, Amelia has stayed in Bilde City. What do you think she'll do next?

I don't know what Amelia is planning, but I suggest you try to seduce the maid.

[I suggest adding one.]

Two hours later, Amelia, having exchanged many things, bid farewell to the Victors.

She had already obtained a replacement identity document from Victor, so she could now buy or rent a house nearby, and had no intention of living directly with the Hicks family.

The carriage drove out of the Hicks family's house again.

At this moment, Eileen still felt like she was in a dream.

So easily infiltrated the lineage of an earl's family? And all this was because His Majesty obtained some rather vague information and data from some thieves?

Your Majesty is too clever!

Chapter 52 The Self-Cultivation of a Maid

Beard City, East District, Red Maple Street.

Red maple is a type of tree that is found all over Beard, but it is most abundant in the Red Maple neighborhood, which covers the streets and yards, hence the neighborhood's name.

After strolling around the Red Maple neighborhood, Amelia and Eileen chose a house with a yard and rented it for a year for 120,000 kroner after contacting the landlord.

She originally wanted to buy a house directly, but as the capital of the Principality of Luban, the housing prices in Beard City were very high, and the place she was choosing would not be a cramped residence, but one with a yard, so the price would naturally be a bit higher. If she chose to buy a house, the amount of Kel she had was obviously not enough.

Another reason for choosing this location is that the walls here are made of stone, which can block the view from the outside world.

In many parts of Beard, the walls are fences, allowing people to see into the courtyards, which is too revealing for those with secrets.

After driving the carriage in and closing the gate, Amelia whispered, "Take the magic crystal cannon inside."

Eileen nodded, took the magic crystal cannon out of the carriage, brought it into the house, and placed it in a cleaned-out storage room.

Next, it's time to clean the room.

The house still had all the necessary furnishings, so cleaning wasn't too difficult. However, just as Amelia picked up the broom, Eileen stopped her.

"Miss Lily, I can handle this kind of thing. How can I let you do the cleaning?"

"Cleaning it up won't be a problem. Eileen, you have other things to do."

"The rest?"

"Yes, go buy some new bedding and other necessities. I'll leave that to you."

Amelia's aquamarine eyes held a faint smile, making Eileen hesitate.

She glanced at the broom in Amelia's hand, wanting to say something, but Amelia spoke first: "Eileen, I'm not the same person I used to be. I no longer have any noble status; I'm just an ordinary girl. I don't deserve to be pampered. Cleaning my room is something I should do."

Looking into Amelia's eyes, Eileen realized that Amelia's mind was made up, so she didn't say anything more.

Eileen then went out.

Because she needed to buy a lot of daily necessities, she prepared a shopping list and then drove out in her carriage. She drove around the Red Maple Street area for a long time and bought everything she needed in no time.

Just as Eileen was about to go back, a question came to her mind.

Amelia is currently disguised as Lily Hicks, and she is Lily's maid. However, she has no idea how to be a good maid. What if Amelia is exposed because of her?

With that in mind, Eileen drove her carriage to a bookstore and soon bought a copy of "The Self-Cultivation of a Maid" before heading back to her residence.

She and Amelia lived at 32 Red Maple Street.

==========

Eileen hasn't returned yet; Amelia is cleaning the room.

Is "The Maid's Self-Cultivation" any good?

[I have a feeling this book isn't very reliable.]

Is this maid's self-cultivation considered proper self-cultivation?

[Looking at Eileen's confused expression, it's really asking too much of her to be a proper maid, hahaha.]

Amelia, who was cleaning, saw a line of comments.

Chapter 53 A Qualified Maid

She was taken aback when she saw the comments. From the content of the comments, she could tell that the audience's perspective was now on Eileen, not on her. This was the first time such a situation had occurred.

Looking at the comments on the screen, Amelia knew what Eileen was doing, even from a distance. She couldn't help but find it amusing to think about Eileen's desire to become a qualified maid.

Without thinking much about it, Amelia continued cleaning the room.

Soon after, Eileen returned to her residence.

As soon as she returned, Eileen came up to Amelia and said seriously, "Miss Lily, please stop cleaning. You have more important things to do now."

"More important things? What things?" Amelia asked, holding a broom, looking puzzled.

Eileen was a little nervous, but she still said, "Miss Lily, you should spend enough time meditating and practicing archery."

In the book "The Self-Cultivation of a Maid" that I read before, it was mentioned that as a maid, you can't listen to everything your master says, because the master's choice is not necessarily the right choice. As a maid, you also have an obligation to guide your master to avoid making mistakes.

This made Eileen thoughtful.

She had actually noticed long ago that Amelia's archery accuracy was very poor, which was definitely not a good thing for Amelia, and since Amelia showed no intention of working on her accuracy, it was undoubtedly a mistake. Therefore, as her maid, she needed to correct Amelia's mistake!

Amelia blinked: "I meditate every day, so it won't be long before I become a lower-level apostle."

“There’s also archery practice,” Eileen said earnestly. “I’ve already prepared a shooting range in the yard. Miss Lily, please go and practice your archery first. This is more important than anything else.”

Eileen is unaware that she possesses exceptional talent for cultivation, which will allow her to advance to an astonishing level in the future. She believes she has only ordinary aptitude.

However, she believed that Amelia was an absolute genius, because Amelia had once glanced at the mental image of the Bard's Bow and immediately completed her first meditation, becoming a prospective apostle. This was proof of her genius.

Eileen felt that Amelia absolutely could not waste this talent. Whether she could avenge the destruction of the Steel Kingdom or even rebuild it depended on Amelia's own strength.

After saying that, Eileen went straight up and said, "I will supervise Miss Lily closely from now on. Please make sure you work hard in your cultivation."

"Huh? There's no rush for this, is there? The room isn't even cleaned yet," Amelia said helplessly.

“Cleaning the room? Miss Lily, you can’t waste your time on that…excuse me.”

As she spoke, Eileen scooped Amelia up in a princess carry and carried her into the yard.

“I can walk by myself, Eileen, put me down.” Amelia swung her legs.

"I'll put Miss Lily down when we get to the yard," Eileen said, hugging Amelia tightly.

This situation left Amelia speechless. Could it be that Eileen's sudden actions were due to reading the book "The Self-Cultivation of a Maid"?

However, Eileen was doing it all for her own good, so although she felt a little helpless, she ultimately let Eileen carry her away.

Chapter 54 Taking a Bath Together

There were indeed targets that Eileen had prepared, placed at one end of the yard.

She carried Amelia to the other end before putting her down and gesturing for Amelia to begin practicing.

Amelia glanced to the side and realized that her bow, named Silver Moon, had been taken by Eileen at some point.

"I understand, I will practice hard."

Amelia picked up the Silver Moon, bent her bow, and aimed it at the target ten meters away. The power of the wind gathered on the bow, transforming into a blue arrow.

Immediately afterwards...

"Whoosh!"

With a whooshing sound, the blue arrow shot out and embedded itself in the corner of the wall.

Seeing the accuracy of the shot, which was way off target, Amelia scratched her head.

"That's strange. I clearly aimed at the center of the target, so why is it so far off-target?"

"Miss Lily, let me teach you how to shoot."

Eileen could tell that Amelia had absolutely no background in shooting.

Although faith in the Bard's Bow can grant shooting abilities, Amelia currently only possesses wind abilities, meaning she must rely on herself for shooting skills.

Although Eileen wasn't a professional archer, as a former member of the Kingdom's Guard, she knew a little about various weapons, so she was more than capable of teaching Amelia.

"Thank you for your help, Eileen." Amelia smiled shyly.

She knew her accuracy was a bit off, so she was willing to focus on improving it.

“Miss Lily, first of all, this is how you hold the bow…”

Eileen came up behind Amelia, reached out from behind her, grabbed Amelia's hands, and adjusted the position of Amelia's left hand holding the bow, as well as the position and even posture of her right hand drawing the bowstring.

Because of instructing Amelia, Eileen's body had to be pressed tightly against Amelia's, and both of them could feel the warmth of each other's bodies.

Feeling Eileen's body temperature, Amelia's eyes showed a hint of melancholy: "Eileen, I think I should buy you more milk."

"Why?" Eileen was taken aback, not knowing how the topic had jumped to this point.

"Because I want to help you recover."

"To nourish the body?"

"Yes, I've heard that you are what you eat, so I guess you are what you drink too."

Eileen: "..."

She paused for a moment and then said, "Even drinking more milk won't help."
