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

After realizing that the other party was a mid-level apostle, Verna understood that it would be useless to reveal her rank, so she decisively chose to pretend to be an ordinary person, and that's how Aaron captured her and brought her to this place.

Verna understood that the other party had captured her not because she was a princess of the Principality of Luban, but for other reasons.

But she doesn't know the specific reason yet.

"Can we escape?" Vera asked with some worry. "Your Highness, you've been missing for so long. Those guys at the police station must be looking for you. Why haven't they found us yet?"

"Don't worry, we'll be fine," Verna reassured her.

As a princess, her disappearance would cause chaos throughout Beard, so she knew that even if the sheriffs were looking for her, it would be done in secret.

However, I can't place my hopes on those guys.

"I really want to go back. My mother must be very worried about me," Vera said with a distressed expression.

She took out a mirror from her bosom and looked at herself. In such a short time, she had become so haggard.

As she looked at herself in the mirror, she noticed Verna approaching.

"Vera, why didn't you bring out your mirror sooner?"

"Your Highness, would you like to look in the mirror too?"

"I'm not here to look in the mirror, but just give me the mirror anyway. Oh, and by the way, give me a human ladder while you're at it."

Verna took the mirror and then instructed Vera to stand under the iron bars.

Then she nimbly climbed onto Vera's back and stood up on Vera's shoulders.

"It's so heavy!" Vera's face tightened, as if she couldn't hold on any longer.

"The rest of you come and help," Verna immediately instructed the other sobbing girls.

Upon hearing Vera's voice, even though no one knew Vera's identity, they were still affected by her inherent regal aura and instinctively came over to support Vera, allowing her to stand firmly.

Under these circumstances, Verna's head reached the high iron window. She immediately picked up a mirror to reflect the sunlight outside, sending a ray of light into the distance, trying to draw the attention of those outside.

Chapter 68 Gratitude

It was noon.

The streets of Xicheng District also became lively at this time, after all, it was the workers' lunch break, and restaurants and street stalls in Xicheng District welcomed many customers.

Amelia and Irene also had lunch in the West District, but Amelia packed the food and the two of them ate it together back in the carriage.

Throughout this process, Eileen managed to suppress her own curse problem very well, and did not do anything terrible to Amelia just because they were both in the carriage.

However, Amelia still felt a chill run down her spine from Eileen's gaze, as if Eileen were looking at her like a hungry wolf.

'I have a feeling that if I don't resolve Eileen's curse soon, I'll eventually get myself killed.'

Amelia thought to herself.

The harder a spring is compressed, the higher it bounces back; the longer desires are suppressed, the more terrifying they will be when they finally erupt.

In an instant, various images from adult anime flashed through Amelia's mind, making her somewhat apprehensive.

After quickly finishing her lunch, Amelia continued driving the carriage around the western part of the city.

She had already found two abandoned factories in the morning, but after looking around, she realized that neither was what she was looking for, so she had to continue searching for the remaining abandoned factories.

The time indicated 1 p.m.

"Da da da……"

The wheels of the carriage rolled over the ground, sending small stones flying.

As Amelia was observing her surroundings, a glint of light suddenly flashed across her face, causing her to instinctively raise her hand to shield her eyes slightly.

She looked up in the direction from which the reflection was coming, and saw an abandoned factory in front of her on the road ahead, the reflection coming from deep within the abandoned factory.

"This is……"

Amelia seemed to be thinking about something, and immediately made the carriage speed up and go there.

This factory was probably originally a paint manufacturing plant; you can still smell the pungent odor of paint when you get close.

Because the roads in the factory were uneven, Amelia stopped the carriage after it approached, got off, and headed towards the spot where the reflection was coming from.

Before long, Amelia approached the reflection, and a sound came from there.

"Here, over here, could you please call the police officers from the local police station?"

It was a calm voice.

As Amelia approached, she could see a warehouse-like building in front of her. The building was quite enclosed, with only an iron window at the top.

At that moment, a girl's head was visible behind the iron bars, but because the girl was holding a mirror, which was too reflective, Amelia couldn't see who it was.

"Call the police? Why? What happened here?" Amelia asked, feigning ignorance as she approached.

“Many of our people have been kidnapped and brought here; they've probably been kidnapped by human traffickers.” The speaker was, of course, Verna.

"Arrested... Ah, I read in the Luban Morning News today that many girls have recently gone missing in Beard City, could it be..."

"That's right, it's us."

"It's unbelievable that I've encountered something like this. I'll release you right now."

"No need, the door here is locked. Just go and call the police station."

"Ok."

Upon hearing this, Amelia turned and left.

As she left, she couldn't help but look back curiously at the location of the iron bars. She wondered who the person who had spoken to her was, and why he could remain so calm despite being arrested.

This time, Verna didn't use the mirror to reflect light, so when Amelia turned around, she saw a girl with long red hair.

Apart from Verna, the other girls who were imprisoned also realized that someone had discovered the place, and they cheered happily, their voices carrying through the building.

Shortly afterward, Amelia went and summoned the police.

They were people dressed in red uniforms, each one looking very heroic in their uniforms. After receiving the news, many people followed Amelia to this abandoned factory.

With the arrival of the police, rescuing Verna and the others was no longer a problem, and the iron gate was quickly broken open.

After a group of girls who had been detained for several days were released, most of them wept with joy, forcing the sheriffs to offer words of comfort.

In addition, more sheriffs surrounded Verna to offer their condolences. As sheriffs, they naturally knew that a princess was among those who had gone missing, and they were overjoyed to have her found.

Amelia's gaze swept across the crowd and landed on Vera.

"Vera, I've finally found you! I'm so glad you're alright." Amelia walked straight over, feigning surprise.

Hearing the sound, Vera looked up.

"What are you doing here?" Vera asked, somewhat surprised to see Amelia.

“I’m the one who discovered this place and notified the police station,” Amelia pointed out, smiling at Vera.

"So it was you..."

Upon hearing this, Vera's gaze towards Amelia immediately became complicated.

Vera initially disliked this distant relative, believing that he only wanted to establish a connection with the Hicks family and use their name to benefit himself.

But she never expected that this person, whom she originally disliked, would actually rescue her today.

Without each other, who knows how much longer they would have had to stay in that cramped room? At that point, eating, drinking, and even relieving themselves would have become problems, and it might have driven them to the brink of collapse.

Thinking of this, Vera pursed her lips and said, "Thank you, Lily... Aunt Lily."

Vera still felt a little awkward when she mentioned this title.

“You don’t really have to call me aunt. Although I am your aunt in terms of seniority, we look about the same age, so you can just call me Lily,” Amelia said with a smile.

“Okay, Lily.” Vera breathed a sigh of relief, then seemed to remember something and asked, “Lily, why did you happen to be here?”

“I didn’t just happen to be here.” Amelia smiled and said, “I saw the news of your disappearance in the newspaper this morning, and I was a little worried. After all, we are both from the Hicks family, so I made a point of wandering around Beard City. When I got to this area, I noticed you because I saw some reflections on my face.”

"So that's how it is." Vera suddenly realized, and a lot of goodwill towards Amelia arose in her heart.

The other party had searched all over Beard City specifically for her, and more importantly, they found her.

Just then, a sheriff walked over, and Amelia said, "You've just been rescued, and the sheriff's office probably still has a lot to ask you, so I'll head back now."

"Goodbye, Lily." Vera nodded.

Chapter 69 Unexpected Visitor

As Amelia left, Vera noticed that many people had walked up to her. Turning around, she saw that it was Verna approaching. Because Verna had come, the sheriffs who were with Verna also came over.

"Vera, do you know that person?"

Verna naturally knew that Amelia was the one who had called the sheriffs to save everyone, and she was somewhat surprised that the person in question happened to know Vera.

Vera quickly replied, "Your Highness, that person is Lily Hicks, a distant relative of our Hicks family. In terms of seniority, she is my aunt, but she is actually about the same age as me."

“I see.” Verna nodded in understanding.

==========

After returning to the carriage, Amelia drove it back to her residence in the Red Maple Street area of ​​the East District.

She planned to wait until Vera's matter was settled before finding a suitable opportunity to see if she could get the Holy Spirit potion with sufficient purity from the Church of Heaven.

Time quickly passed and evening arrived.

At this time, Eileen was preparing dinner, while Amelia, bathed in the twilight light, came to the door to retrieve several evening newspapers she had ordered, intending to read them during dinner.

"Excuse me, is this Lily Hicks's residence?"

Just then, a voice came from not far away.

Amelia looked over when she heard the sound.

Before her stood a dashing young man with short red hair and red eyes, a smile on his face.

Behind the young man followed a middle-aged man with brown hair dressed in a red knight's uniform. He had a resolute appearance, a sword at his waist, and his eyes were constantly scanning his surroundings; he was clearly a guard.

"Who are you?" Amelia asked, puzzled.

Isn't that Dwight?
