==========
Dwight's death was not kept secret for long.
Four days later, on October 7, major newspapers published news of Dwight's accidental death in an attack, but did not report who the killer was or how he died.
Even so, the news caused a huge uproar throughout the entire Principality of Luban.
After all, it was a prince who died!
Amelia didn't know why Grand Duke Ogden was able to confirm Dwight's death so quickly, but in any case, Grand Duke Ogden couldn't suspect her.
She was still just an ordinary girl in other people's eyes, living an ordinary life.
"With Dwight's death, the situation in the Principality of Luban has become unpredictable, and it's unclear how things will develop next."
Amelia sat at the dining table, ate some egg pancakes, and drank a few sips of milk.
She seemed to be talking to herself, but actually wanted to see if the viewers would reveal any information through the comments. However, after looking at the comments, she didn't see any useful information.
Viewers also don't know what changes will occur after Dwight's death, because Dwight didn't die like this in the original storyline.
Seeing that there was no result, Amelia didn't mind and continued reading the newspaper.
"jingle!"
The doorbell rang.
Eileen immediately opened the door, and soon someone arrived at the restaurant.
"Lily, are you only having breakfast now? You got up a little late today."
Before Amelia appeared a charming young girl with light blue twin ponytails, none other than Vera Hicks.
Ever since Amelia rescued Vera, Vera's attitude towards Amelia has changed, and she now considers her a good friend.
Before killing Dwight, Vera and Mrs. Beryl were too busy to visit Amelia to thank her because they had to cooperate with the police investigation. It wasn't until October 4th that the mother and daughter finally had the time to visit Amelia and express their gratitude.
In the two days that followed, Vera would also visit Amelia from time to time.
"It's still eight in the morning, I don't think I'm too late," Amelia replied with a smile, glancing at the wall clock.
“Okay, that’s not important.” Vera sat down next to Amelia, swinging her legs as she said, “Lily, the arrangements for getting you into White Maple Academy are almost complete. You can start classes tomorrow.”
Verna had suggested that Amelia join White Maple Academy to avoid a possible sneak attack. After thinking about it, Amelia decided to choose this method, since there was no better alternative.
However, she didn't ask Verna to help her with her school enrollment. Instead, she asked the Hicks family for help, since it was just a matter of enrollment, which was a very easy thing for the Hicks family.
"Tomorrow? I have no problem. Please tell Mrs. Beryl that I thank her for her help."
"You don't need to thank us. You saved me, and you're a member of the Hicks family. Getting you into college is no problem at all. But why did you choose the art department?"
Vera looked at Amelia with curiosity.
The arts department encompasses many disciplines, including music, sculpture, painting, dance, drama, and more.
Amelia chose the music department within the art faculty, specifically the harp course.
“I chose the harp course in the music department of the art school. The reason I chose the harp is, of course, because I like the harp.” Amelia smiled.
She chose to join Baifeng Academy mainly to ensure her safety, not to actually study. Therefore, choosing a subject she was familiar with was very important, as it would save her a lot of the learning process and make it easy for her to get by.
After answering, Amelia asked again, "Vera, has the accommodation issue been resolved?"
It's not enough for Amelia to just enroll in White Maple Academy; she needs to live on the academy grounds.
Vera nodded and said, "Of course it's resolved. You can prepare what you need to take with you. We can take it over today."
“I understand.” Amelia relaxed.
Besides herself, Eileen can also enter White Maple Academy with her.
White Maple Academy is no ordinary place; even princes and princesses study there, and it's very common to have a maid or guard with you.
“Lily, you know what? I’m actually a music major too,” Vera said, her eyes sparkling.
"Oh? What do you mainly study?"
"I study violin, and my classroom is right next to the harp classroom."
"It seems that once we enter White Maple Academy, we can be quite close."
"Yeah, hehe."
Vera chatted happily with Amelia.
==========
The Grand Duke's Castle is located further east in the eastern part of Beard City. It is a magnificent and high-profile castle with domed structures in all its buildings. In addition, the castle is heavily guarded, and guards in armor can be seen patrolling back and forth everywhere with long spears in hand.
Inside the castle, deep within the building, Grand Duke Ogden sat in a red chair.
He was quite old, his face was covered with wrinkles, and his skin was exceptionally loose, yet he still sat upright, his red hair burning like flames, wearing a magnificent double-breasted red suit, and his somewhat cloudy red eyes looking down at the people below.
"You said there's been significant progress in the investigation of Dwight? Tell me about it."
He coughed halfway through his sentence.
His health was deteriorating, a fact he was well aware of. He didn't even know how much longer he could enjoy the scenery of the Principality of Luban.
But regardless of whether he is past his prime, murdering his son in Beard, the capital of the Duchy of Luban, is absolutely unacceptable, and the murderer must pay the price!
Chapter 80 Director, White Maple Academy, Amelia's Reminder (2.1 words)
Grand Duke Ogden looked down at the person kneeling on one knee.
That was the head of the police station, and also a high-ranking apostle, holding an extremely prestigious position in the Duchy of Luban.
She was a woman named Daphne Melville.
Daphne has long, flowing purple hair tied in a side ponytail, with a wisp of purple hair falling across her forehead to cover her right eye.
She was dressed in a black dress that hugged her voluptuous figure, outlining her incredibly graceful and mature physique. She looked more like a noblewoman than the head of the police station.
Under the watchful gaze of the Grand Duke of Ogden, Daphne slowly said, "Since His Highness Dwight's death, we have searched all of His Highness's residences, hoping to find useful information..."
"Stop with the nonsense and get to the point," Grand Duke Ogden said impatiently.
“…His Highness Dwight must have some connection to the Red Moon Society,” Daphne replied.
"The Red Moon Society? That infamous criminal organization?"
"Yes."
"Daphne, your investigation is correct? My son is connected to that kind of criminal organization?"
"We are most likely right about this. Although we haven't found much evidence, it's enough to prove it."
The sheriff's office was quite surprised when they discovered this information and immediately suppressed the news. Daphne, upon learning of this, also ordered all those in the know not to disclose it to the outside world and to report the situation to the Grand Duke of Ogden immediately.
Grand Duke Ogden rubbed his temples: "So, is Dwight's death related to the Red Moon?"
"We can't be completely certain about this yet, but there's a possibility. We'll conduct a thorough investigation into information related to the Red Moon Society and try our best to find out the truth," Daphne replied earnestly.
Grand Duke Ogden paused for a moment before saying, "Don't let more people know about the possible connection between Dwight and the Red Moon Society."
The Red Moon Society is a massive and notorious criminal organization whose reputation has spread throughout the entire continent of Angus. Of course, this reputation is all infamous, and if possible, no one would want to deal with the Red Moon Society.
"I understand." Daphne nodded, then added, "If the Duke has no further instructions, I will take my leave."
"Wait a minute." Grand Duke Ogden called out to Daphne, thought for a moment and said, "Leave the investigation of Dwight's matter to Bennett. You will assist Bennett."
“The Second Prince? I understand.” Daphne did not refuse.
When the second prince, Bennett, was mentioned, the gloom in Ogden's eyes dissipated considerably, and he was clearly very satisfied with his second son.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Bennett will be his successor.

The sun was shining brightly, and a gentle autumn breeze was blowing.
In the White Maple Academy, white maple leaves detached from the branches, swirling in the air with the wind and slowly drifting down, like snowflakes, covering the ground layer upon layer.
A horse-drawn carriage travels along the road.
The carriage curtain was tied up, and Amelia, sitting outside, raised her small, fair hand to catch a white maple leaf and looked at it. This was a plant that did not exist in her previous world, and it seemed to be different from a red maple only in color.
Amelia released Bai Feng and let him land, then looked at the dormitory that appeared in front of her.
Maple Academy has many buildings. The teaching buildings are located in the center, while the dormitory area is located in the east, where teachers' and students' dormitories are located.
"Miss Lily, we've arrived," Eileen said softly from the side.
"Well, I hope life will be a little more peaceful from now on," Amelia smiled slightly.
Their carriage soon arrived at the dormitory.
Because all the students at Baifeng Academy are from wealthy and influential families, each student has their own dormitory room, complete with a bedroom, bathroom, washroom, and kitchen.
Of course, the good accommodations also indicate that living in Baifeng Academy is not cheap.
However, Amelia's tuition and other expenses were all covered by the Hicks family.
Amelia's dormitory was on the first floor. She opened the door and looked inside. It seemed that everyone had been cleaned before, and it looked clean and tidy. However, because no one had moved in yet, it lacked furniture and looked empty.
"Eileen, let's move everything in."
“I can do this, Miss Lily, you can rest here.”
"No, of course I'll take action too. I'm not some weak girl, so you don't need to worry about that."
"……All right."
Eileen knew Amelia quite well, and seeing that Amelia had made a decision, she knew that there was no point in saying anything more.
The two of them immediately moved all the furniture from the carriage into the dormitory.
As for the magic crystal cannon...
This problem did trouble Amelia, but she came up with a solution: take the magic crystal cannon outside Beard City and bury it somewhere.
The process was quite tense, but fortunately nothing went wrong. The magic crystal cannon was successfully hidden and can be dug up again if needed in the future.
In no time, Amelia and Eileen had moved all their belongings into the dormitory.
At this moment, the light of dusk had appeared, and beams of golden light poured down from the sky, dyeing the entire White Maple Academy in a golden hue.
