[This is the third prince of the Duchy of Luban. What's he doing here?]
Are the children of the eldest duke in a principality also called princes and princesses?
The Grand Duke's children are, of course, also called princes and princesses; that's what's said online.
Why is Prince Dwight here?
[In the original storyline, this guy was killed by the eldest prince after failing to secure the position of Grand Duke, right? What a pathetic fellow.]
At this moment, a series of comments appeared, making Amelia immediately understand the identity of the person in front of her, but this also surprised her even more.
What does the third prince of the Principality of Luban want with her?
“My name is Dwight Luban, you may have heard of me.” Dwight placed one hand in front of him, making a polite gentlemanly gesture, with a reserved smile on his face.
“So it’s Prince Dwight.” Amelia looked surprised and immediately gave a ladylike curtsy, saying, “I am Lily Hicks. May I ask what business Your Highness has with me?”
"Shouldn't you invite His Highness in first?" the middle-aged man in red following behind Dwight said in a deep voice.
“Maud, don’t speak to a young lady like that. It’s not gentlemanly,” Dwight said, giving Maud a reproachful look.
“Yes, Your Highness.” Mord lowered his head.
“…Then Your Highness, and this gentleman, please come in first.” Amelia had no choice but to invite them in first.
As Amelia led the person into the house, Eileen noticed and came out from the kitchen.
"Eileen, you continue making dinner," Amelia said to Eileen.
Eileen nodded but didn't go any closer. Although she returned to the kitchen, she kept an eye on the area and was ready to come over immediately if there was any movement.
In the hall, after Amelia had Dwight sit down, she personally poured him a cup of hot tea, wisps of white steam rising from the glass.
As for the guard Maud, he did not sit down and remained standing behind Dwight.
Dwight sat upright and smiled, "I'm here mainly to thank Miss Lily."
"Thank me?" Amelia asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Yes, I am very grateful to you for saving my sister, and I felt I had to come and see you no matter what. You know, I was very worried when Verna went missing."
"Your sister, Princess Verna?"
"It's normal that you don't know, because the news of Verna's disappearance hasn't been revealed. She's one of the girls you rescued today."
"Even Her Highness the Princess has been arrested?"
Amelia was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected the Red Moon Society to dare to harm even a princess, nor had she imagined that among the people she had saved was a princess.
[Velna? She didn't appear in the original storyline, right?]
Having watched the original story five times, I can confirm that Verna only appeared by name but never actually appeared in the story. Her name was only mentioned when she attempted a rebellion and was killed by the eldest prince.
[Prince Vincent is truly a ruthless man. In the original storyline, he killed both Werner and Dwight, leaving one speechless.]
The competition for the Grand Dukeship of Luban is quite fierce.
Seeing the comments, Amelia understood. No wonder the audience didn't react when she met Verna in the afternoon; it turned out they didn't know she was the princess.
Speaking of this, something came to mind. According to the reports in the original storyline, when Prince Vincent killed Dwight, he mentioned that Dwight was a member of the Red Moon Society, right?
Isn't this a frame-up?
[This was just a line Vincent said, and everyone thinks he deliberately framed Dwight to justify his own actions, right? There doesn't seem to be any conclusive evidence in the original storyline.]
[Dwight shouldn't be a member of the Red Moon Society, right? Otherwise, why didn't he attend the previous emergency gathering of the Red Moon Society?]
[Dwight's status is special, so it's understandable that he wouldn't want to be involved in an emergency gathering, right?]
As the comments section opened, many viewers started arguing.
Amelia's heart sank when she saw those comments on the screen.
Could Dwight possibly be connected to the Red Moon Society?
Although nothing has been confirmed yet, even just the possibility of it inevitably casts a shadow over people's hearts, because if it were true, it would definitely not be a good thing.
Despite her inner turmoil, Amelia maintained a ladylike smile as she spoke with Dwight.
Dwight seemed quite talkative. After expressing his gratitude and presenting some jewelry as a thank-you gift, he chatted with Amelia about this and that.
Amelia echoed, showing no sign of worry.
The two chatted for a full half hour before Dwight took out his pocket watch, looked at it, and then stood up, saying, "It's getting late, and I have some things to take care of, so I'll say goodbye now."
"Your Highness, please take care." Amelia stood up and saw Dwight off.
Chapter 70: Another visitor?
Dwight is gone, but Amelia is still troubled.
She was very concerned about the messages in the bullet comments.
If Dwight really is connected to the Crimson Moon Society, is his trip truly just to express his gratitude for saving Princess Verna? Or could he have other motives? After all, he discovered the people the Crimson Moon Society was capturing and helped them escape.
"Miss Lily, dinner is ready." Eileen came out of the kitchen.
"Then let's have our meal first."
Amelia temporarily put aside her worries and went to the restaurant for a meal.
During her meal, Amelia also glanced at the Luban Evening Post and the Red Maple Evening Post, both of which reported on the discovery of the previously missing girl, stating that all missing persons had been found.
Her name was not mentioned, but was replaced by a concerned citizen, which can be considered a form of protection.
Just as Amelia was reading the newspaper, the doorbell rang.
Another person has arrived?
"I'll go open the door." Eileen headed towards the door.
“No, Eileen, you stay here, I’ll go open the door.” Amelia quickly got up.
She naturally couldn't let Eileen open the door, since Eileen was still under the influence of the curse and it was inconvenient for her to have contact with people.
Hearing Amelia's words, Eileen paused, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart.
Is it because of this strange curse that I can't even do something as simple as opening a door? If this curse can't be broken, am I really destined to be someone who needs to be taken care of forever?
At this moment, Amelia had already opened the door.
When Amelia saw the person outside the door, she looked surprised: "It's you?"
The girl who appeared before Amelia was the same calm young woman she had met in the abandoned factory during the day. Her long red hair was tied into a low ponytail and hung down from behind her. She was wearing a gorgeous red dress, and an air of nobility emanated from her. Just by looking at this girl, one could tell that she was no ordinary person.
“Miss Lily, it’s a pleasure to meet you.” Verna smiled slightly. “I am Verna Luban, one of the people you saved during the day. I am very grateful for that.”
"So it's Princess Verna, please come in." Amelia was somewhat surprised, but also somewhat relieved.
She already knew from Dwight that one of the people she had rescued was a princess, but she had guessed which one it was. Before meeting Verna, she had guessed it would be this person, after all, the other person gave her a very different feeling.
Upon hearing the other party's words, Amelia felt a sense of "I knew it."
After leading Verna into the living room, Amelia made Verna a cup of hot tea.
"Doesn't Miss Lily have any maids to take care of her at home?" Verna asked after she sat down.
“We did have a maid, but she was sick, so I sent her to rest,” Amelia replied with a smile.
"I see." Verna didn't dwell on that question and instead asked about the important matter: "I heard my brother, Dwight, came here during the day?"
This is what Verna cares about.
“His Highness Prince Dwight did come, saying he came to thank me for saving his sister, Your Highness. It seems you two siblings have a very good relationship,” Amelia replied with a smile.
Hearing Amelia say this, Verna didn't smile. Instead, she said, "Actually, my relationship with Brother Dwight isn't good. We don't talk when we meet, like strangers. I was really surprised that he did this."
Is that so?
Amelia was startled, and at the same time, her heart sank.
If Dwight and Werner really have a good relationship, then their reason for coming over during the day can be explained.
But if Dwight and Werner don't get along, why would she come over?
The possibility mentioned by the audience resurfaced in Amelia's mind, giving her an ominous feeling.
At this point, the audience immediately started discussing it, clearly sensing that something was wrong.
Dwight and Werner weren't close, so there was absolutely no reason for him to go out of his way to thank her. Something's fishy about him!
It seems he really does have connections to the Red Moon Society.
So, it seems that what Prince Vincent said when he killed Dwight in the original storyline wasn't a frame-up?
[If Dwight is connected to the Crimson Moon Society, it's normal for Amelia, who discovered the people the Crimson Moon Society had captured, to be noticed.]
This Dwight might even know that Amelia's place used to be rented by members of the Red Moon Society.
If Dwight has any connection to the Red Moon Society, it would be a terrible thing for Amelia, especially since he even found a reason to visit her. He must be eyeing Amelia, which is a very bad sign.
As Amelia's thoughts raced, Verna continued, "My birth mother died young, and my other siblings are all half-siblings, so our relationships are naturally quite distant. Dwight must have another reason for coming to you. Do you want to work with me to find out Dwight's purpose? After all, that purpose might be detrimental to you."
"It can't be that bad, can it? I've only been in Beard City for a short time, why would His Highness Prince Dwight be targeting me?"
Although Amelia had reservations about Dwight, she didn't show it. On the contrary, what Verna said made her a little unsure. What exactly was this princess thinking?
“Many things may seem inexplicable, and you may not know where the cause comes from, but you have to pay attention to them, otherwise a moment of carelessness could lead to trouble,” Verna said in a mysterious tone.
"Does Your Highness dislike Prince Dwight?" Amelia asked upon hearing this.
“I don’t like any brothers or sisters,” Verna replied crisply.
This extremely cold attitude towards her siblings made Amelia increasingly unable to understand Verna.
“I’ll say it again.” Verna looked intently at Amelia: “We need to cooperate in some ways; it will only benefit both of us, Amelia.”
"You're saying all this... huh?"
Amelia was about to say something perfunctory, but she sensed something was wrong halfway through her sentence and her eyes immediately fixed on Verna.
What did Verna just say?
Does Verna call her Amelia?
“Your eyes are sharp in the shadows… Miss Amelia, tell your people to calm down. I mean no harm,” Verna said calmly.
