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

The contract is complete!

With the contract established, Amelia breathed a sigh of relief.

According to the contract, she and Verna will need to keep each other's secrets from now on, and they cannot tell anyone else what the secrets are.

Furthermore, the other regulations are relatively lenient towards Amelia.

“The contract is complete, Amelia. From now on, we’re on the same side,” Verna said happily.

Her path to becoming a Grand Duchess is long and arduous, requiring much assistance. Having access to a strong enough support system would undoubtedly be a great thing.

However, Amelia's expression turned strange upon hearing Verna's cheerful voice.

Only she herself knew that she didn't have any strong foundation or power, and there wasn't much she could do to help Verna.

Regardless, the contract was now complete, so Amelia went to turn the living room lights back on.

After turning on the light, Amelia looked at Verna and said with a thought, "Since we are already cooperating, it shouldn't be a problem for me to ask you for a small favor."

“Of course, what do you want?” Verna nodded.

"I need to find a Black Raven Adventurer's Guild. If you have any information about such a guild, please let me know."

"The Black Crow Adventurers?"

Upon hearing the name of the adventure group, Verna's expression turned strange.

"Have you heard of the Black Raven Adventurers?" Amelia noticed the change in Verna's expression.

Chapter 73 Let's cooperate to kill someone.

“Yes, I’ve heard about it, just recently.” Verna looked at Amelia strangely: “Not long ago, the Beck Adventurer Group and the Red Moon Society fought in the Moonlight District. After the Beck Adventurer Group members were captured, they revealed a lot of information, including the Red Moon Society’s search for the Black Raven Adventurer Group.”

Upon hearing this, Amelia could only sigh helplessly.

When she first saw the change in Verna's expression, she thought the other woman knew about the Black Raven Adventurers, but it turned out she only knew from the Baker Adventurers.

After the members of the Beck Adventurer's Guild were arrested by the police station, they revealed a lot of information during interrogation. Although this information was not made public, it is not surprising that Verna, who is ambitious and aspires to the position of Grand Duke, would make a point of learning about all kinds of information and know about the situation in the police station.

"I didn't expect the battle between the Baker Adventurer Group and the Red Moon Society to be related to you," Verna said with some surprise.

“Those guys and the Red Moon Society members are no good, so I just set them up to fight like dogs,” Amelia said nonchalantly.

Verna nodded thoughtfully.

She didn't know what Amelia had done to cause the Baker Adventurer Group and the Red Moon Society to fight, but the fact that she was able to do that meant that the other side had considerable power behind them.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for her as a partner.

“I understand the situation. If I find out where the Black Crow Adventurer Group is, I will tell you immediately.”

"Thank you so much."

Amelia believed that if more people went to search for the Black Crow Adventurers, the chances of finding their target would undoubtedly increase significantly.

Eileen, who was watching from next door, had a complicated look in her eyes. She hadn't expected that the first thing Amelia and Verna did after reaching an agreement would be something related to her.

How many times has this happened?

Amelia would bring up this topic from time to time, which warmed Eileen's heart. She knew that Amelia had always wanted to help her, but was it necessary for a mere guard to be so concerned?

While Eileen was grappling with her complicated feelings, Amelia and Verna continued their conversation.

"The best way for me to become Grand Duke is to eliminate all the other princes. Once there are no other competitors, the title of Grand Duke will be mine even if they don't want to," Verna ambitiously stated her opinion.

For Verna, those half-princes, though they were her brothers, had no emotional connection with her and were merely obstacles to her rise to a higher position, so they naturally needed to be eliminated!

At this point, Verna even appeared somewhat cold.

[Vera didn't appear in the original storyline, so I never expected her to be such a terrifying person.]

Perhaps if she were a prince instead of a princess, she might actually have won against all the competition.

Regardless, the current plot has deviated too much from the original story, and it's now uncertain who will become the new Grand Duke of Luban.

“Since we’re going to make a move, let’s target the Third Prince, Dwight,” Amelia suggested.

The main reason she agreed to cooperate with Verna was to eliminate Dwight, a potential threat who might be eyeing her. It wouldn't be easy for her to deal with him on her own, given his impressive status and the fact that his guards were not weak. Therefore, she needed his help.

"Dwight? That's certainly a good choice. It's not unexpected that you chose to strike at him first. Has he discovered your identity?"

After learning that Dwight had come to see Amelia, Verna understood that Dwight must have been eyeing Amelia for some reason, and she thought it might be related to Amelia's identity.

“That’s not the case,” Amelia denied. “Dwight’s targeting of me is probably related to the Red Moon Society.”

"The Red Moon Society? Why?"

"You should know that you and the other girls were captured by the Red Moon Society, right?"

"Yes."

"As the one who discovered you and called the sheriffs to rescue you, I will naturally be targeted by the Red Moon Society."

"Just because of this, are you sure Dwight and Red Moon are connected?"

“He has no other reason to come see me,” Amelia said definitively.

[As expected of Amelia. When I discovered that Dwight might really be involved with the Red Moon, I was worried that Amelia would be tricked by Dwight. I didn't expect that Amelia had already noticed the problem.]

[If I were in Amelia's position, I wouldn't be able to notice such details at all. Amelia is too powerful!]

[Amelia never lets us down, keep it up and take down Dwight!]

Seeing the comments praising her, Amelia felt a little embarrassed. She was able to spot all the problems thanks to the comments.

“You’re right.” Verna pondered for a moment and said, “Dwight is most likely connected to the Red Moon Society. If we can find out the connection between him and the Red Moon Society and expose it to the public, Dwight will definitely not have a good ending. After all, the Red Moon Society has a terrible reputation and is hated by everyone.”

"This will take too much time. I don't want to wait any longer. If possible, I want to get rid of him as soon as possible."

As the saying goes, delay can lead to unforeseen changes. Amelia was also worried that Dwight would pass on information about her to more Red Moon Society members in other cities, which would not be good for her. No one wants to be targeted by an organization full of evil and bloodshed.

“If we’re going to take direct action against Dwight, we need to plan carefully,” Verna said thoughtfully.

She wouldn't dismiss Amelia's plan, because targeting Dwight wasn't impossible.

“You know Dwight quite well. Is he an Apostle? Who are his guards, and what is their strength?” Amelia asked these crucial questions directly.

“As far as I know, Dwight is an ordinary person. As for his guards, you should have met them today. Maud is his guard, a mid-level apostle who worships the Sword of War.”

"Only one guard?"

“There is only one in Beard City, but it’s a different story outside of Beard City. So it would be easier to deal with him if we did it within Beard City.”

"I understand the situation, so let's..."

Amelia immediately discussed with Verna how to get rid of Dwight.

Verna probably already had an idea about this, so the two of them finalized a general action plan in a short period of time.

After the plan was finalized, Amelia thought of another question and said, "By the way, could you get me some Holy Spirit potion? The purity can't be too low, and it needs to be able to remove the curse placed by the middle apostle."

Chapter 74 Confusion

Holy Spirit potion?

Upon hearing Amelia's request, Verna didn't think much of it and nodded, saying, "No problem."

Although the Holy Spirit Potion is a product of the Church of Heaven and is usually difficult to obtain, she is, after all, a princess of the Duchy of Luban. The clergy of the church in the Bild City diocese will give her some face.

Amelia breathed a sigh of relief.

She originally wanted to obtain the Holy Spirit Potion through Vera, but that might not be successful, since the countess's status was not so prestigious to the church.

Obtaining the Holy Spirit Potion through Verna is naturally the better option now.

Verna wouldn't ask Amelia why she needed the Holy Spirit potion; their contract included a clause forbidding them from asking each other questions.

"Amelia, it's getting late, I'll head back now. I'll contact you again when I've created a suitable opportunity."

"Okay, see you later."

"Goodbye."

Verna bid farewell to Amelia and left in the deep of night.

As Verna left, Amelia let out a long sigh of relief.

A great deal of things happened in just one day, prompting her to sit down on the sofa in the living room and sort out the thoughts in her mind.

After sitting for a while, I heard Eileen's footsteps beside me.

“Miss Lily, you haven’t finished your dinner yet. I just heated it up for you,” Eileen said to Amelia.

"Dinner... I almost forgot we were having dinner earlier." Amelia smiled and stood up.

As Amelia stood up, Eileen instinctively distanced herself.

With the curse still in effect, she dared not get too close to Amelia, because a strange impulse would always arise in her heart, making her want to pounce on Amelia and do strange things.

Seeing Eileen step back, Amelia said, "Eileen, you must have heard my conversation with Verna. I believe it won't be long before she sends you a holy potion of sufficient purity to remove the curse from your body."

“Yes, I’m really looking forward to that time.” Eileen’s eyes lit up slightly.

Because of this strange curse, she was unable to properly fulfill her duty as a guard to protect Amelia, and naturally she was eager to remove the curse.

However, perhaps because she thought about the possibility that the curse was about to be lifted, Eileen subconsciously relaxed a little. At this moment, Amelia, on her way to the restaurant to continue her meal, had to pass by Eileen and got a little closer.

Amelia's natural scent wafted to Eileen.

It smells so good!

As soon as the thought flashed through her mind, Eileen moved uncontrollably and appeared beside Amelia, pulling her into her arms.

"Eileen?"

Eileen's sudden action startled Amelia.

Before the curse of Slaanesh was lifted from Eileen's body, she could easily imagine what would happen if she touched her, and her face immediately turned pale.

"No, Eileen!"

Amelia exclaimed in surprise, and then felt a dizzying sensation as the world spun around her.

When she came to her senses, she found herself pinned to the sofa, her hands held down tightly, unable to move at all.
