For the past few days, Werner had been trying to figure out Dwight's regular routes so she could find an opportunity to ambush him. However, this kind of thing was not easy to do because it required covert investigation, and Dwight did not seem to have any fixed routes. After several days, Werner had gained nothing.
That afternoon, Verna came to Amelia's place again.
“I had never paid such close attention to Dwight before. I never expected him to be such an unpredictable person. I have absolutely no idea what he will do next.”
Verna sat on the sofa in the living room and said with some complaint.
She used to focus more on the eldest prince, Vincent, and the second prince, Bennett, who was the most popular choice.
Seeing Verna's troubled expression, Amelia couldn't help but smile.
"Don't be impatient."
"Amelia, you said you wanted to get rid of Dwight as soon as possible, so why do you look more relaxed than I am?"
"I'm not exactly having a leisurely time; I'm also thinking of various solutions."
"Really? But while you were chatting with me, you even had the leisure to read the newspaper, wasn't it the Starlight Noon News?"
Verna glanced at the newspaper in Amelia's hand.
Amelia nodded and said, "This is indeed the Starlight Noon News. Among all the newspapers, the Starlight Noon News has the most coverage of the arts."
Are you interested in art?
"No, it's mainly because the music festival is coming up soon, isn't it?"
"The music festival on October 3rd? It's almost here. Are you still paying attention to music festivals?"
“I just think Dwight will mostly focus on music, look at this.”
Amelia handed a newspaper to Verna as she spoke.
Verna took the Starlight Noon News with a puzzled look. After reading it, she felt that something was wrong. She frowned slightly and looked at it more carefully, and then she realized what was wrong.
The date on the Starlight Noon Report was clearly written as October 4th, 719th year of the Heavenly Calendar.
This is clearly a newspaper from a year ago!
"Amelia, how did you find a newspaper from a year ago?" Verna was quite surprised.
“Take a closer look at what’s on it,” Amelia said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Verna resumed reading.
Before long, she found information that caught her attention, because Dwight's name was there.
Those were the words of a pianist named Drew, who claimed that his musical performance at Moonlight Square was outstanding and had even received praise from His Highness Prince Dwight.
"His Highness said that if I put on a good enough show next year, he might even make an appearance."
The music festival is on October 3rd, and this report from last year is from October 4th.
After reading this, Verna couldn't help but look at Amelia: "Do you really think Dwight will go to Moonlight Square at this year's music festival? But it's hard to be sure based on this report alone."
She felt that even if Dwight had said those things, it was just polite talk, and many people of status would say similar polite things.
After all, Dwight didn't say he would definitely attend; he only said it was possible. Since it was possible, it was practically impossible.
Amelia smiled and said, "What if my people find out more and confirm that Dwight will indeed be performing at Moonlight Square during this year's music festival?"
"really?"
"of course."
Amelia nodded affirmatively.
Deceiving Verna was relatively easy, since Verna always believed that she possessed considerable power. So, she simply said that the relevant information was obtained by her subordinates through investigation, and that would be sufficient.
As for the audience, things have become quite troublesome.
To make the audience think she should know about this, she made an excuse to have Eileen find a lot of newspapers from this year and last year, and then pretended to accidentally see useful information in the Starlight Noon News from October 4th of last year.
[As expected of Amelia, she's incredibly perceptive. She was able to deduce Dwight's next move from a seemingly insignificant newspaper report from last year.]
[If it were me, I would never have thought of going through so many old newspapers to learn about the enemy. I can only say that Amelia is truly remarkable.]
[Amelia's discovery was entirely unintentional; she simply wanted to understand Dwight's situation, but unexpectedly stumbled upon such crucial information, thus gaining control over Dwight's actions.]
[Haha, look at how silly Verna is! She actually believed Amelia got accurate information from her subordinates. She can't believe Amelia just deduced it all herself, can she?]
[Besides Irene, where does Amelia get any subordinates? Hahahaha.]
[Dwight probably never imagined that such a trivial report would lead to an ambush against him.]
The viewers' comments were full of discussion, and they didn't doubt Amelia at all, genuinely believing that Amelia had made her deductions based on only a little information.
This is exactly the result Amelia wanted to see.
Werner was already thinking about the next step: "Since Dwight will be going to Moonlight Square at the music festival, his route should be from White Maple Academy to Moonlight Square, so where can we ambush him..."
The entire map of the East District and North District appeared in Verna's mind at this moment.
Baifeng College is located in Dongcheng District.
Moonlight Plaza is located in the northern part of the city.
The shortest route from White Maple Academy to Moonlight Square quickly came to Vilna's mind, but would Dwight choose the fastest route?
"Have you decided where you want to ambush them?" Amelia asked.
“We’ll have to see the exact address later, but…” Verna smiled slightly, “The music festival is a very grand festival in our country, and the stage performances at Moonlight Square have always been very famous. I believe that people from the surrounding neighborhoods will go to Moonlight Square, making the other places empty. We will have enough time to determine the location and set up barriers to ambush people on the road.”
The task of setting up the barrier was naturally left to Verna, who was a lower-ranking apostle.
Her thoughts gradually became clearer: "I don't know how many people you'll bring, but don't bring too many. Have your men take care of Maud. As for Dwight himself, he's just an ordinary person and won't pose any threat."
“I understand.” Amelia nodded.
“Now that we’ve determined the situation, I’ll go check out the area Dwight might pass through.” Werner stood up, somewhat impatient.
For the past few days, she had been clueless about her plan to kill Dwight, but now she finally had a clear idea and couldn't sit still for a moment.
Amelia wanted to kill Dwight to eliminate the threat, while Verna naturally wanted to get rid of Dwight, a potential adversary.
"Then see you later, Verna," Amelia said with a smile.
With Verna gone, Amelia began to look forward to the day of the music festival, hoping that her mission would go smoothly.
Thinking of this, Amelia couldn't help but ask Eileen, who was not far away, "Eileen, when will you reach the level of a high-ranking apostle?"
"A high-ranking apostle?" Eileen paused for a moment before replying, "Miss Lily, I am just an ordinary person, and perhaps I will only ever reach the level of a mid-ranking apostle in my entire life."
"How could that be? You need to have confidence in yourself."
Amelia felt quite helpless upon hearing this; Eileen was still rather insecure about herself.
She glanced at the comments section and saw that many viewers had made estimates about Eileen's rank advancement. Judging from the timeline, it shouldn't be long before Eileen becomes a high-ranking apostle.
Having a high-ranking apostle by one's side would undoubtedly greatly increase one's sense of security.
When will I be able to become a lower-ranking apostle?
Amelia thought to herself, "I am a person with divine blood, so my rank should be rising very quickly. Perhaps I am not too far away from becoming a lower-ranking apostle."
Thinking this, Amelia immediately got up and went back to her bedroom. She took out her Bard's Bow Mind Map from her bedside table and began meditating while looking at the bowstring pattern on it.
Seeing that Amelia had gone to meditate, Eileen also went to meditate.
Although she didn't know why Amelia had such high hopes for her growth, she couldn't let Amelia down since Amelia had such expectations!
Chapter 77 Lower-Rank Apostle, Ambush of the Third Prince
I forgot to write a post before the product launch.
Forget it, I'm not writing anymore.
In short, we will increase updates in the future.
==========
October 2nd, 720th year of the Heavenly Calendar, the eve of the music festival.
Although the music festival doesn't start until tomorrow, Beard City is already busier than usual, with the sounds of various musical instruments filling the streets and alleys.
Harp, violin, piano... musicians always try their best to showcase their talents.
Not to be outdone, the bards also joined in, chanting widely circulated classic poems to the accompaniment of the moving melodies.
The carriage slowly drove along the street. Irene, the maid, was driving the carriage, while Amelia and Verna were inside.
The carriage traveled along the streets of Moonlight District, passing through the hustle and bustle.
'This prosperity will one day belong to me!'
As Verna gazed at the bustling scenery outside the carriage, a hint of longing appeared in her eyes.
After a moment of anticipation, Verna turned her gaze away and said to Amelia beside her, "Amelia, the path we've walked today is the path Dwight is most likely to walk tomorrow... Hmm? What are you thinking about?"
Halfway through the conversation, Verna noticed that Amelia seemed a little distracted, so she asked her in confusion.
"Oh? It's nothing, I was just a little distracted."
Amelia snapped out of her daze, then smiled and continued talking to Verna about the plans for tomorrow's operation.
Without realizing it, I've become able to calmly discuss with others how to kill someone.
The world has changed her a lot.
After the two strolled around the streets and checked the possible routes for tomorrow's operation, the carriage stopped in the White Maple District, where White Maple Academy was located.
After the carriage stopped, Verna lifted the curtain and got out.
"See you tomorrow, Amelia."
"See you tomorrow."
As Werner left, Eileen drove the carriage back to the Red Maple Street.
On the way back, Amelia asked, "Eileen, what did it feel like when you broke through from a prospective apostle to a lower-level apostle?"
Hearing this, Eileen outside the carriage immediately replied, "At that time, I just felt my mind suddenly become clear, and then I received more divine power from the Sword of the God of War, and also gained new abilities."
"Is that so?"
"Is Miss Lily seeking inspiration to break through to the level of a lower-ranking apostle?"
