Afterwards, Eileen left the dormitory, intending to lead the carriage to the designated carriage storage area, as she couldn't leave it outside.

However, as soon as Eileen came out, she saw Verna walking over with two people.

"Eileen." Verna asked immediately upon seeing Eileen, "You're here. Is Lily inside?"

“Yes, Your Highness Verna.” Eileen nodded, then glanced at the two people behind her.

Seemingly noticing Eileen's gaze, Verna replied, "They are the people who will protect me from now on; they are all mid-level apostles."

These two people were not Verna's men, but were sent by Grand Duke Ogden to protect Verna.

It wasn't that Grand Duke Ogden had suddenly become more concerned about Verna; it was just that after Dwight's murder, every prince and princess would be accompanied and protected by at least two mid-ranking apostles.

Those of higher status, such as the many princes, are protected by four mid-level apostles.

As for the most favored second prince, Bennett, he had six middle-ranking apostles following him. Even the Grand Duke of Ogden put Bennett in charge of investigating Dwight's affairs, with Daphne, as a high-ranking apostle, assisting him. This was actually a form of protection.

"I'm going to find Lily. You two stay outside and don't need to come in," Verna said to the man and woman who were with her.

"Yes, Your Highness Verna."

The two guards responded immediately.

Seeing this, Eileen fell silent.

She knew that Verna was an unpopular princess in the Duchy of Luban, with a status that was considered low among princes and princesses, yet even so, she still had two mid-level apostles protecting her.

But his own emperor could only be protected by himself.

This situation made Eileen purse her lips, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness. Could she, a mid-level apostle, really protect Amelia?

She wants to become stronger!

Want to be stronger!

==========

Hearing someone enter, Amelia instinctively asked, "Who is it?"

As she asked the question, Amelia turned around and looked at them, then her expression relaxed slightly.

"Velna, what brings you here?" Amelia asked, sitting on the bed in the bedroom.

The bedroom is neither too big nor too small, with a window right next to the bed, offering a view of a row of white maple trees outside.

The window was open at the moment, and the wind chimes hanging there made a crisp sound in the wind.

“I’m here to tell you something, but…” Verna paused here, “When you heard footsteps, why didn’t you instinctively think it was Eileen returning, but instead thought it was someone else?”

"Because that wasn't Eileen's footsteps."

"You can even tell who's who by their footsteps?" Verna was somewhat surprised.

“No, I don’t have that ability.” Amelia shook her head: “I can only hear Eileen’s footsteps. I can’t hear other people’s footsteps.”

"I see." Verna's expression was somewhat strange.

"Is there anything you need to tell me?" Amelia asked.

“It’s like this.” When the topic turned to business, Verna’s expression became serious: “The matter of Dwight’s death has been handed over to Bennett by Father, and Daphne, the head of the police station and an Apostle, has been assigned to be Bennett’s assistant. It’s clear that Father really thinks highly of Bennett.”

She can't remain calm when this matter is mentioned.

Grand Duchess—that was the position she had always dreamed of. Everything she did was to sit on that throne and make all the flowers of the entire Duchy of Luban bloom for her.

On this path, Prince Bennett is an insurmountable and unavoidable competitor!

"In addition, the situation of Dwight and the Red Moon Society has also been discovered. Although my father tried to cover it up, it wasn't completely airtight, and I still have some understanding of it."

Verna then recounted the matter, stating that Grand Duke Ogden now even suspected that the person who killed Dwight might be a member of the Red Moon Society.

Although Dwight and the Red Moon Society are partners, the Red Moon Society is, after all, a bloodthirsty organization with twisted personalities. It wouldn't be surprising to be killed if you cooperate with someone from such an organization, so Grand Duke Ogden's suspicions are reasonable.

“If the Red Moon Society could take the blame for us, that would be ideal. However, your brother Bennett is still investigating this matter, which means that Grand Duke Ogden is not entirely convinced. But we have kept our hands clean, so the investigation should not find us.” Amelia smiled slightly.

“Of course, they won’t be able to find out about us. I’m more concerned about how much my father values ​​Bennett,” Verna said with bright eyes. “I think we should come up with a plan to kill Bennett.”

“Kill Bennett? Now is not the time. Dwight just died, and the entire city of Beard is under the heaviest security at this time. How could we possibly make a move now?” Amelia shook her head.

“I don’t necessarily have to act immediately, but it’s good to make a plan first.” Verna had clearly set her sights on Bennett.

Seeing this, Amelia hesitated for a moment, then said, "Virna, you don't need to keep such a close eye on Bennett. Perhaps you could focus your attention on someone else first, such as the eldest prince Vincent."

In the original storyline, the final victor was not the second prince Bennet, who was the most popular and most favored by the Duke of Ogden, but the eldest prince Vincent, who was currently keeping a low profile.

“There’s no need to worry about Vincent. He’s just an honest guy who doesn’t understand politics or danger. If it weren’t for his status as the eldest prince, he wouldn’t have many supporters,” Verna said after thinking for a moment.

“Velna, I think you can’t be careless. I find it hard to believe that someone from a family like yours can be honest and simple. Perhaps that honesty and simplicity is just Vincent’s disguise, and the only reason someone would disguise themselves is that they have bigger ambitions,” Amelia reminded her.

“You’re right.” Verna wouldn’t be too dismissive of her competitor.

[It was good that you noticed Vincent. If you hadn't, I'm really worried that Amelia and the others would have all fallen into a ditch. They're no good.]

The term "cunning old fox" perfectly describes someone like Vincent; who knows his true colors until the very last moment?

[If it were any other anime, I could totally believe the protagonist would be the ultimate victor, but "The Revenge of the Fallen Sword Saint" already has a tragic ending, so it's hard to trust this remake.]

[Panda Publishing House is best at creating tragedies; it's not too late to run away now.]

[I won't run. I believe Amelia won't bring tragedy to everyone. Hasn't she noticed Vincent?]

[Amelia, my eternal goddess, I believe you will absolutely not have any problems.]

[All of you used to only have eyes for Irene, but now you don't even look at her anymore, only at Amelia?]

Eileen is the apple of my eye, and Amelia is just as precious to me.

[Huh? Why did the camera switch to another scene? Who is this guy? I've never seen him before.]

==========

No. 32, Hongfeng Street.

Ron Chobo, dressed casually, strolled leisurely down the street as if he were just passing by, but in reality, his emerald green eyes were constantly scanning the houses next to him, casting a long, long shadow.

'In the message Dwight sent before his death, he mentioned Lily Hicks, suspecting her involvement in the annihilation of the Red Moon Society in Beard City. Could her also be related to Dwight's death?'

Ron began to ponder.

He's a member of the Red Moon Society!

When the Red Moon Society was wiped out in Beard City, Ron rushed over to find out what had happened. But when he arrived, Dwight was also dead, which cast a shadow over the city on his mind.

This place is not simple; I must be extremely careful.

Chapter 81 will make people strange, the barrage comments are shocked (2.5 words update)

Ron casually circled around No. 32 Red Maple Street several times, but found nothing, and frowned slightly.

The owner of the house is not here. Has he/she left?

'While it's not entirely certain whether Lily Hicks is connected to the deaths of the Red Moon Society members in Beard City, since she's currently the only one worth suspecting, she can't be let go, even if it means arresting and torturing her.'

As Ron thought about this, many torture devices for extracting confessions flashed through his mind, something the Red Moon Society had always been very good at.

Especially when interrogating women, there are even more ways to use torture instruments. Just thinking about it made Ron lick his lips.

'I, Ron Chobo, will definitely find out the truth.'

Ron, with these thoughts in mind, hid in the shadows, intending to wait for Amelia to return.

==========

Bai Feng Academy.

Amelia is talking to Verna.

While communicating, Amelia would also check the comments from time to time, which had become a habit of hers, since important information was occasionally mentioned in the comments.

At that moment, Amelia saw the information that caught her attention.

'Has the camera moved to another location?'

'Is someone loitering around my former residence? Are they members of the Red Moon Society?'

'His name is Ron Chobo?'

Amelia quickly grasped the information from the comments section.

As the camera pans across the scene, the audience can hear the characters' inner thoughts, and then send what they hear through the bullet comments, so Amelia naturally knows everything.

Looking at the information presented, Amelia secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I had already left my original residence, otherwise it would have been troublesome if the other party had discovered the situation.

Although we don't know what kind of strength Ron possesses, the fact that he dared to investigate the destruction of the Red Moon Society in Beard City suggests that his strength is not low.

"It's getting late, I'll head back now. Lily, see you tomorrow."

It was already dark when Verna looked out the window and said.

"Okay, see you tomorrow." Amelia didn't try to stop her.

The comments had disappeared by now. Amelia was experienced with these things and knew that for the viewers, the next scene would likely jump to a point quite some time later.

Amelia's own time doesn't change; the comments only appear at the designated time. She wants to know what Ron will do next through the comments.

This wait lasted for several hours.

When Amelia finished dinner and was taking a shower with Eileen in the bathroom, the comments finally appeared.

[This guy is hilarious! He waited for ages and no one showed up, so he sneaked in to check things out.]

It's understandable that he didn't dare to sneak directly into the house before, since he didn't know enough about the target's situation.

[His expression after discovering the house owner had left was truly priceless; he probably knew he'd waited in vain.]

Oh wow, now you know to ask for directions when you go out?

[That neighbor is such a busybody; he actually said Amelia went to White Maple Academy.]

Even if Ron knew about White Maple Academy, there's nothing he could do about it, right?

Seeing the various comments on the screen, Amelia seemed to be deep in thought.

My location was still discovered by the Red Moon Society, but it didn't matter. White Maple Academy was no ordinary place, and with Dwight's recent death, its security was stronger than ever before. Even the Red Moon Society wouldn't have any way to deal with it.
