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

Although Eileen did not appear, she stayed in the shadows and kept an eye on things. When she heard Verna address Amelia, Eileen naturally became vigilant. As long as Amelia gave the order, she could come over and kill Verna immediately!

Chapter 71 Verna's Ambition

Amelia asked in a deep voice, "How do you know who I am?"

Verna smiled slightly: "When the Kingdom of Steel still existed, Amelia, as a princess on the fringes of the royal family, you spent most of your time studying at the Royal Academy of the Seinsol Empire in the south, so you thought no one in the north should know you, right? But you may not have noticed, I also studied at the Royal Academy, I just never greeted you. It's normal that you don't know me, but I recognize you, even though you changed your hair color."

The Royal Academy of the Seinssol Empire?

As one of the three great empires, the Royal Academy of the Seinsor Empire was not a place that ordinary people could enter. Those who could enter were usually the children of the imperial family and the children of various nobles.

As a princess from a foreign land, it's quite normal for her to be able to enter the Royal Academy of the Seinsor Empire.

Amelia searched through the original owner's memories and found that she did not have any impression of Verna. However, since the other party recognized her, she was most likely a former student of the Royal Academy of the Seinsor Empire.

"So what is your purpose in revealing my identity? Revealing this is not the right choice." Amelia said, a hint of murderous intent naturally appearing on her face.

She traveled all the way from the castle of the Kingdom of Steel to the city of Beard, and had seen countless battles and bloodshed along the way. She was no longer the person who would want to vomit at the sight of blood when she first transmigrated. Now, she was serious, which put some pressure on Verna.

But such pressure only makes Verna happy.

“I’ve already said, my goal is cooperation,” Verna said earnestly.

"cooperate?"

“That’s right, cooperation. I know your goal is definitely to restore your country, and I can help you in that regard. In return, you should help me with what I want to do.”

Verna stared intently at Amelia.

After recognizing Amelia, she was somewhat surprised by Amelia's current status as a distant relative of the Hicks family. After a moment's thought, she realized that Amelia definitely had something to do with it!

A queen whose kingdom has fallen, impersonating a distant relative of a count from another country, would undoubtedly want to use the power of that other country to help her restore her kingdom, right?

If the other party's goal is to restore their country, then they must have already accumulated considerable strength; otherwise, how could they restore their country?

It was because of these thoughts that Verna went directly to see Amelia and revealed Amelia's identity, because she needed Amelia's power to help her, and she could naturally give Amelia a corresponding return!

Restoration of the kingdom?

Amelia was a little surprised. She wasn't particularly enthusiastic about it, but since the other person thought that way, she didn't need to explain.

The chat was already buzzing when Werna revealed Amelia's identity.

The scene shifted to Verna, revealing her inner thoughts to the audience. Amelia then learned about Verna's thoughts through comments on the screen.

'Virna actually thinks I possess considerable power to restore my kingdom? But my only power is Irene.'

Amelia thought to herself after seeing the comments.

“You’re willing to help me restore my kingdom, and you want me to help you in return. So what is your purpose?” Amelia asked Verna.

“I want to be the Grand Duchess of Luban!” Verna said without hesitation.

Amelia: "..."

Grand Duke Ogden Luban of the Duchy of Luban is quite old and often falls ill; it is possible that he may leave this world at any time.

Ogden has many children, and it has not yet been announced who will succeed him as Grand Duke. However, the second prince, Bennet Luban, is the most popular choice because of his gentle manner, extensive knowledge, and good image.

Of course, the eldest prince Vincent, the third prince Dwight, and some other princes all have their own supporters.

As for the princesses, none of them had any support because Ogden was a sexist who publicly stated that no matter who the next Grand Duke was, it would be one of the princes, and it was impossible for the throne to be passed to a princess.

Information about Ogden flashed through Amelia's mind, and she said with a complicated expression, "Virna, as a princess, it will be very difficult for you to become the Grand Duchy of Luban."

“I know, but isn’t it precisely because it’s difficult that it’s challenging? One day, I will make all the flowers in the Duchy of Luban bloom for me!” Verna’s eyes were bright and full of ambition.

However, after glancing at the comments, Amelia knew that Verna was a loser and would be executed by the victor in the original storyline.

Even Dwight, and the currently most favored second prince Bennett, are losers; the quiet eldest prince Vincent will be the ultimate victor.

Of course, those are all the endings in the original story.

“Let’s cooperate!” Verna looked at Amelia with a smile: “You help me become the Grand Duchy of Luban, and I will help you restore your kingdom. This is a good thing for both of us.”

"No matter what it is, it is very difficult."

“But we are still young. I’m only seventeen, and Amelia, you’re only sixteen. We have plenty of time, don’t we? As long as the final victory belongs to us, that’s enough.”

Verna has high hopes for the future; she wants to stand at a high point in the world and look down upon it, for that view must be the most beautiful.

Of course, her power is not quite enough at the moment.

Therefore, she kept the fact that she was a lower-ranking apostle a secret from herself and didn't let anyone know.

Therefore, she usually travels alone and does not have any guards with her.

In addition, she has been secretly developing her own power base.

Ambitious, she set her sights on the Duchy of Luban, dreaming of making this vast country her own.

Therefore, Verna was undoubtedly pleasantly surprised after discovering Amelia's identity, because no matter how she looked at it, she felt that Amelia was a very suitable partner.

Amelia was a queen of a fallen kingdom, but she was once a marginalized princess like Amelia, and this shared identity was enough to resonate with her.

Furthermore, they both have things they must do but cannot disclose to the public, isn't that a very good basis for cooperation?

“Let’s cooperate, Amelia. One day, the Kingdom of Steel will reappear in this world, and you will be the queen, announcing your return to your people,” Verna urged.

“How can I trust you, Verna? You need to prove yourself as a suitable partner,” Amelia asked after a moment’s thought.

Chapter 72 God's Witness

Amelia thought it over carefully. Even if she didn't go to restore her kingdom, cooperating with Verna wouldn't be a bad thing. She could get Verna's help in many other things. As for whether she could provide Verna's help, that would depend on the situation.

But all of this is based on trust!

"Whether it's your matter or mine, it's of utmost importance, so we can't just make a verbal agreement. Let's sign a contract under God's witness."

As she spoke, Verna took out a yellowed parchment scroll and placed it on the table in front of her, clearly having prepared it in advance.

God's testimony?

Amelia searched her mind and quickly came up with the relevant information.

The so-called gods naturally refer to those who make people into apostles.

God's testimony is achieved through the use of special parchment, special rituals, and a covenant presided over by an apostle!

A contract established under such circumstances is inviolable; whoever violates it will inevitably suffer divine punishment and die.

As the thought of this contract crossed Amelia's mind, she realized: "You are still an apostle?"

She looked at Verna, whose apparent identity was that of an ordinary person.

God's testimony needs to be presided over by the apostles.

No one knows that Amelia herself is an apostle, and neither does Verna. Therefore, Verna herself must be an apostle in order to hold this ceremony.

“That’s right, I am an Apostle, and there’s no need to hide that from you as my partner,” Verna admitted.

"What rank have you reached?"

"Lower-ranking apostle".

What god do you worship?

"The Mysterious Book".

When asked by Amelia, Verna did not hide anything and even talked about the two abilities she currently possessed.

Two-layered world: This isolates an area from the outside world, so that whatever happens inside cannot be detected outside.

Area lockdown: Creating a confined area that prevents people from leaving.

After explaining her situation, Verna opened the parchment, showed it to the contents, and said, "Amelia, these are the terms of our cooperation. Please take a look and see if there are any problems."

Amelia picked up the parchment and looked at it.

This is specially treated parchment, and only this kind of specially treated parchment can connect with God.

After touching the parchment, Amelia's attention turned to the contents, and she quickly read through each of the regulations.

“Some aspects need some modifications,” Amelia said after looking at it.

In which aspects?

"These are them..."

Amelia and Verna began to discuss the terms on the parchment in detail.

During this process, viewers will also offer advice to Amelia through bullet comments.

Although viewers are unaware that their comments will be seen by Amelia, the purpose of the comments is to allow viewers to express their current thoughts, and these expressed thoughts can help Amelia.

It didn't take long for Amelia and Verna to draft an agreement that satisfied both of them.

Next, let God be our witness!

Verna took the parchment and walked to the side, placing it on the ground. Then she took out a bottle of special perfume and poured it in a circle around herself and the parchment, encircling them both.

Then she took out a candle made of special materials and lit it.

Amelia searched her memory for relevant information and knew what she should do. She immediately turned off the living room lights and then walked over and stood inside the circle of fragrance.

Both people are inside the circle, with parchment in the middle.

Verna handed the candle to Amelia, who took it.

Afterwards, Verna took out a mental image from a mysterious book. However, by the light of the candle, Amelia couldn't be sure how realistic the mental image was. But no matter how realistic it was, as long as it was a mental image that could be used for meditation in normal times, it would be useful at this moment.

After unfolding the mind map, Verna murmured to herself, "You possess the vastness of the deep space, the mystery of the boundless ocean... Please answer my call, great book of mystery, we need your witness... The covenant is eternal!"

As Verna finished her long incantation, both Verna and Amelia suddenly felt as if they were being watched.

This feeling of being stared at only lasted for a moment, but it still made their bodies tense up unconsciously.

In that instant, the flame on the candle in Amelia's hand suddenly expanded, transforming into a parabola that landed on the mental image of the mysterious book in Verna's hand, causing the mental image to burst into flames.

Verna stopped in time, and the mental image fell to the parchment on the ground. Instead of burning the parchment, it turned into light and merged directly into the parchment.

With their heads bowed, Amelia and Verna could see the words clearly and brightly emerging on the parchment—the rules they had left there.

Bathed in light, the parchment vanished into thin air, never to exist in the world as a physical object.
