'Damn it, how can this thing dodge the Flame Butterfly's attacks while simultaneously launching such precise attacks on me...? Wait, her aim seems off from ten meters away, but if I want to get close enough to attack her, I have to be within ten meters, or even closer. Damn it!'
Dwight felt completely constrained and so frustrated he almost wanted to vomit blood.
At this moment, he was completely powerless to fight back and could only keep dodging. This would definitely not be a good thing, after all, who can guarantee that they can keep dodging other people's attacks without getting hurt?
Indeed, Dwight didn't dodge for long before an arrow struck his shoulder, piercing him directly with the Sigh of the Wind, causing blood to splatter out.
Dwight groaned and quickly clutched his shoulder, but then an arrow struck his thigh, causing him to stagger and fall to the ground, feeling a surge of intense pain.
"Wait, wait, don't attack yet!" As he fell to the ground, Dwight hurriedly spoke up, "Killing me directly will get you nothing, but as the third prince, I can give you many benefits..."
Amelia didn't speak, but while dodging another attack from the Flame Butterfly, she aimed her bow at Dwight's head.
The distance at this moment is within ten meters!
"Whoosh!"
The Sigh of the Wind shot out, transforming into a beam of azure light that pierced directly through Dwight's head, interrupting him before he could finish speaking.
The other party's words had absolutely no effect on Amelia!
Dwight felt a sharp pain shoot through his brain and struggled in disbelief.
He was the third prince of the Duchy of Luban. He was a prince, and he might even have a chance to inherit the title of Grand Duke in the future. How could he have died here?
Before long, Dwight's body stopped moving, and he was plunged into eternal darkness.
Just as Dwight died, the Flame Butterfly he had summoned vanished without a trace.
"Your Highness!"
Maud, who had been watching this scene closely, was horrified by what she saw; she could hardly believe it.
The third prince of the duchy was murdered in the duchy's capital. Why did this happen?
This situation caused Maud's heart to break down instantly, and her mind went completely blank.
"Have you forgotten that you are fighting?"
Eileen's voice came from the side, cold as frost, cold as the moon.
As her voice rang out, a sword pierced Maud's heart without mercy!
"Uh……"
Maud's eyes widened.
Eileen drew her sword again, letting the blood flow from Maud's heart.
Maud clutched his heart and took two steps back, his eyes filled with resentment, but even so, there was nothing he could change.
His Highness Prince Dwight is dead, and so is I.
With a thud, Maud collapsed to the ground.
Maud knew he was about to die. Before he died, he showed a look of resentment and gritted his teeth, saying, "You will not have a good end. His Highness has already informed the Red Moon Society about Lily Hicks's problems. The Red Moon Society will find out and come after you. Our fate today will be your fate tomorrow. We will be waiting for you in hell!"
After managing to say those words, the light in Maud's eyes gradually faded.
The ambush was successful!
The autumn wind blew by, lifting Amelia's long hair. She frowned slightly, still somewhat concerned about the words Maud had spoken before his death.
“Miss Lily, what Maud said just now…” Eileen walked over, looking somewhat worried.
She also understood that if the Red Moon Society set its sights on Amelia, it would definitely be a problem, and a significant one at that.
Amelia frowned slightly, then looked at Verna.
“Verna, what are your thoughts? If possible, I would like to keep the identity of Lily Hicks, but this identity has already come under the Red Moon Society’s scrutiny.”
"The Red Moon Society?"
Verna pondered for a moment and said, "The Red Moon Society is ultimately a criminal organization, so we don't dare to operate openly. We just need to be wary of their underhanded tactics. In that case, I have a suggestion."
Chapter 79 Afterwards, Grand Duke Ogden was furious, and Amelia's decision
Suggest?
Upon hearing Verna's words, Amelia immediately asked, "Verna, do you have a solution?"
"Lily, you're not worried about standing against the Red Moon Society, but rather about the Red Moon Society launching a sneak attack, leaving you defenseless and vulnerable to being taken advantage of, right?"
“That’s right. If the Red Moon Society finds out about my situation, and I don’t know anything about them, then I will always be on the defensive. They can take action against me secretly at any time, and I can’t always stay vigilant enough. If that happens, I will have no choice but to give up this identity.”
"In that case, we'll have to find another place to stay."
"Change your accommodation?"
Amelia seemed lost in thought.
Verna smiled and said, "Ordinary residential areas are indeed difficult to defend against criminal organizations like the Red Moon Society, but it's a different story at White Maple Academy."
Upon hearing what Verna said, information about White Maple Academy immediately surfaced in Amelia's mind.
This is the most famous academy in the Principality of Luban, and the knowledge taught covers all aspects, including culture, mathematics and physics, industry, art, economics, medicine and so on. Each department also covers a variety of subjects, such as the culture department, which includes history, foreign languages, geography and so on.
“Because of its importance, White Maple Academy has very strong defenses. If you live inside White Maple Academy, you won’t have to worry about being attacked,” Verna said with a smile.
"I see. You want me to become a student at White Maple Academy?"
"That's right. Actually, I'm also a student at White Maple Academy. After you enter White Maple Academy, it will be more convenient and safer for us to meet and communicate in the future."
"I understand, I'll think about it."
Amelia didn't agree outright, but if there really wasn't any other way, entering White Maple Academy might be a good option.
As for now...
Amelia looked at Eileen: "Dispose of the body."
Eileen nodded, took out the corpse-dissolving liquid she had prepared beforehand, and prepared to dispose of Dwight and the other man's bodies.
In this way, Dwight's death would not be discovered immediately.
Of course, the main reason for disposing of the corpse was to cover up the traces left by Amelia's Wind Sigh. Therefore, the traces left by Wind Sigh at the scene also needed to be properly cleaned up.
Eileen had plenty of experience in this area and handled it with ease.
Seeing that she didn't need to handle the situation herself, Verna thought of something else and said with a slightly complicated look in her eyes, "Lily, I didn't expect you to be a half-elf."
Amelia raised a slender white finger to her lips and smiled, "You must keep this a secret."
Verna nodded: "Of course, our contract states that we cannot reveal each other's secrets to others. As for your secret, even if I wanted to, I couldn't. But Lily, you've kept it very well hidden."
Amelia understood this, but it was precisely because she knew that Verna could not reveal her secret that she felt comfortable revealing her identity as an apostle.
"How can you survive in this world without having some hidden cards up your sleeve?" Amelia said mysteriously.
Verna seemed lost in thought.
She thought Amelia was right.
In Verna's mind, Amelia's goal is to restore her kingdom. If that's the case, she naturally needs to control a lot of power. And since the other party is still a half-elf, will the elves become her power?
Thinking about this, Verna felt even more strongly that cooperating with Amelia was the right thing to do.
Before long, Eileen had disposed of Dwight and Maud's bodies, as well as the traces left at the scene, and returned to stand behind Amelia.
"Is everything settled?" Amelia asked.
Eileen nodded.
“Okay, then we can go back now. Today is the music festival, so let’s enjoy the celebration.” Amelia said with a smile.
[She's already enjoying the holiday after just finishing a killing; Amelia's mentality has matured quite a bit. She wouldn't have been this composed before.]
[We haven't been watching the anime for very long, but for Amelia, she has already experienced a lot.]
The journey to Beard City was filled with only a few scenes for us, but for Amelia, it was a wealth of life experiences.
[Amelia looks best when she's smiling, quickly take a screenshot.]
Why are you taking a screenshot? Stop staring!
At this moment, Verna looked at Eileen.
Previously, when Amelia only allowed Eileen to deal with Mord, she had some concerns and even felt that Amelia was not rational enough, but now Eileen has proven herself with the results.
Maud is dead, but Eileen is unharmed.
Although Maud's defeat and death were due to her emotional breakdown after witnessing Dwight's death, it is unlikely that anyone else could have won so easily against her, even if she had made a mistake.
'Also a mid-level apostle, Eileen is far more powerful than the others, and she's so young. I wonder where Amelia recruited her from; it's truly enviable.'
Verna thought to herself.
Usually, someone who is strong in the same realm can maintain that advantage when they move to the next realm. In addition, Eileen is still young and has a lot of room for growth, so Eileen's potential is undoubtedly enormous. She can grow to a very good level in the future, which is why Verna is envious.
Next, Verna removed the barrier around the area, and the three of them quietly left.
When she reappeared, Amelia was already in the Red Maple Street district, on her way home.
Verna didn't come along; she had some things to take care of, so she left first. Only Amelia and Eileen returned.
The two strolled leisurely down the street, where a bustling crowd stretched before them.
In addition, various kinds of music are carried on the wind, making it impossible for anyone to ignore today's festival.
Passing by a music store, Amelia thought for a moment, then ordered a harp, paid the required amount in korres, and had the store deliver it to her residence.
The original owner of this body knew how to play the harp, and her skill level was quite good. Amelia naturally inherited this ability as well. Today happened to be a music festival, which gave her a bit of inspiration, so she decided to give it a try.
When Amelia returned home, the harp was quickly delivered by the music store, which was quite efficient.
The harp, with its natural wood color, is as tall as a person. When placed in the living room, it looks like a large bow with its strings neatly arranged.
Amelia approached the harp and gently plucked the strings with her slender, fair fingers. As her hands touched the harp, a familiar feeling naturally welled up in her heart.
'Huh? I used to think my inexplicable affinity for the harp was because the original owner was familiar with it, but now it seems it's not just that; there's a feeling of something flowing through my blood.'
Amelia seemed lost in thought.
The elves of this world seem to be very skilled in music, and I have elven blood, which means that my bloodline gives me a natural affinity for the harp.
Amelia played a piece from the original owner's memories, called "The Returning Girl," and the slightly melancholic melody drifted away on the wind.
