The comments gradually returned to normal.
However, Amelia still didn't receive any useful information.
“Miss Lily… if we’re not sure about the situation, why don’t we wait and see how things develop?” Eileen looked at Amelia with some trepidation.
This was the first time she had ever seen Amelia angry; she had been quite startled when Amelia slammed her hand on the table.
Amelia took a deep breath and smiled. "I'm fine."
She decided to put the matter aside and see how it went, just as Eileen had suggested. After all, the appearance of the character "Amelia Steele" in the public eye was no small matter; the entire North and even the whole continent would be watching. She could observe the subsequent changes that would result.
In fact, after Amelia saw the report published in the newspaper, Verna and Bennett, who knew Amelia's true identity, naturally also discovered the report.
Verna, who was already at White Maple Academy, immediately came to Amelia's side.
Amelia, who hadn't finished her dessert, wasn't surprised to hear the doorbell ring. She continued to sit there slowly eating and drinking a few sips of hot tea, while Eileen went to open the door.
Before long, Verna arrived at Amelia's side.
Today, she still wore her long red hair in a low ponytail and a black dress, looking beautiful, elegant, and poised.
Seeing Amelia's relaxed demeanor, Verna raised an eyebrow: "Lily... no, Amelia, you're really taking it easy. I'm about to tell you some news, news that will shock you, surprise you, and make you unable to believe it. I just don't know if you'll still be so relaxed after you hear it."
"You mean the person impersonating me?" Amelia elegantly wiped her mouth with a tissue.
"You...you know?" Verna's eyes widened in surprise.
“Of course I know. This information was published in the newspaper. Even Starlight Noon, a newspaper that usually only reports on art, didn’t miss this report,” Amelia said calmly.
"Since you know this, why are you still able to act so relaxed?" Verna was a little confused.
In her opinion, this was no small matter and could cause a great upheaval, so she rushed here as soon as she received the news. But the person in charge who knew the news was so relaxed.
"Because there's no use in being anxious about this kind of thing, is there?" Amelia said with a smile, extremely composed.
I wonder who was so agitated that they slammed their fist on the table just now.
[You weren't this relaxed before. You knew Verna was coming, so you're deliberately acting nonchalant, aren't you?]
This move... this move is called seizing the initiative (humorous).
[As expected of our Amelia, her psychological tactics are so skillful.]
Amelia was speechless when her gaze inadvertently swept over the comments. She had simply relaxed her mindset, so why were the viewers making such a big deal out of it?
"So how do you plan to handle this matter?" Verna asked again.
“I’m going to wait and see what happens. I’m curious to see what this guy impersonating me will do,” Amelia said with a smile.
Of course, among the three possibilities she considered, there was one where the initiative didn't lie with the imposter. But regardless of who held the initiative, she wanted to see what that person would do.
Seeing this, Verna could only say, "Alright, since you're not in a hurry, then I won't be either. But you should still be careful, this matter might have a significant impact on you."
"I understand, don't worry."
"So, another question: have you figured out what to do about Bennett?"
"No."
"..."
Amelia's decisive answer left Verna speechless.
Many days have passed, but we still haven't figured out how to deal with Bennett and the others, which is not a good thing.
"I remember you always seemed so smart before, why can't you come up with a solution this time?"
"Verna, you're a very smart person too, why don't you think of a solution?"
"Even if you say that, there's nothing I can do. Bennett's strength as a mid-level apostle makes many of my plans impossible to use."
Verna is really troubled by this.
Why does Bennett himself possess the strength of a mid-level Apostle? Defeating this person is truly extremely difficult.
Moreover, less than a month has passed since Dwight's death, and the martial law in Beard City will not end so quickly. Sheriffs are everywhere in the city, and the crime rate has dropped to the lowest point in Beard City's history.
Under such circumstances, they simply couldn't find a suitable opportunity to make a move against Bennett.
"Alright, I'll head back now. But Bennett might come knocking on your door because of someone impersonating you. You should be able to handle him, right?"
"Of course, he might ask you again and again to confirm if I am really Amelia."
"Of course I'll give him a positive answer... Anyway, I'm leaving now."
Goodbye, Verna.
Amelia watched Verna leave.
After Verna left, Amelia picked up the newspaper and started reading it again, pondering how to deal with the situation.
Soon after, the doorbell rang again, as expected.
Eileen went to open the door immediately, and the person outside was Bennett, with long red hair, wearing a black dress, and with elegant manners.
Upon entering the dormitory and seeing Amelia at the dining table, Bennett smiled and said, "Miss Amelia, you seem quite relaxed. But I'm about to tell you something, and I don't know if you'll still be able to relax like this. You might be shocked, surprised, or find it unbelievable."
"...Do you siblings always say the same things?" Amelia looked at Bennett speechlessly.
"We're siblings? What do you mean?"
“Verna has already been here. She has already said what you said.”
"..."
Hearing this, Bennett felt a little embarrassed, then coughed and said, "So, you already know that someone is impersonating you?"
"I understand, but are you so sure it was someone impersonating me and not me impersonating someone else?"
"Your identity has been confirmed by Verna."
Aren't you afraid she'll remember it wrong?
"No, Verna has always had a pretty good memory, I know that about her."
Bennett seemed to know his sister very well.
Upon seeing this, Amelia said, "Alright, now that you've confirmed this, what brings you here? I thought you were here to confirm whether I was an imposter. Or perhaps you've already thought of a cooperation agreement for us?"
“I haven’t finalized the contract yet, because it involves many aspects, so I need to think about it some more. I came to see you to see how you plan to deal with this imposter,” Bennett said with a smile to Amelia.
The main reason why the contract has not been finalized is that he is unclear about the strength of Amelia's side.
Since a contract is to be drafted, one should naturally try to make the contract favor oneself and gain more benefits. The strength of Amelia's side is crucial in this process.
If Amelia's power is limited, then he can be bolder in his contract. If Amelia's side is stronger, then he will have to back down somewhat.
Bennett felt that this incident of someone impersonating Amelia was a good opportunity to understand the strength of Amelia's side.
Chapter 90 Let's decide on the punishment, Eileen.
Is Amelia really just going to leave that imposter alone? If she does, what if something happens? Won't she be too late to react?
[Amelia can't really do anything about it, can she? She's in Beard City, while the imposter is in Bonn City. Although Bonn City is also within the Duchy of Luban, they're quite far apart.]
[It's beyond our reach.]
As she watched the barrage of comments scrolling by, Amelia had a sudden thought.
"You want to know how I should deal with this imposter?" Amelia asked Bennett with a smile.
“Yes, you can’t just sit idly by, can you?” Bennett made no attempt to hide his intentions: “I really want to see your power, how much power you still possess now.”
"Okay, but before that, you have to do something for me first."
What do you want me to do?
"I want you to invite the imposter to Beard City."
"Inviting an imposter?"
"Yes."
Amelia already had a general idea.
She couldn't interfere with the imposter's situation because of the distance, but what if the distance between them were reduced?
Having Bennett invite the other party is entirely within his power. After all, Bennett is the most popular prince and enjoys a high reputation throughout the vast Duchy of Luban. What reason would an imposter have to refuse his invitation?
Bennett began to ponder.
"This is just a small favor for you, isn't it? You wouldn't refuse me, would you?" Amelia said with a slight smile.
"You're right, I really have no reason to refuse. So, I agree."
Bennett agreed, and he had his own reasons for doing so.
He wanted to see how Amelia would deal with the imposter, but if this happened far away, he could only learn about it through various news channels, which would inevitably be less authentic.
But if the incident happened nearby, he could learn the details of what happened, which would help him understand the power on Amelia's side.
"Without further ado, I'll go prepare the invitation. I'm actually quite curious about this imposter."
"Then I'll leave it to you, Bennett."
"Goodbye, Miss Amelia."
Bennett did not stay with Amelia for long.
With Bennett gone, Amelia pondered what she should do next.
Even if the imposter comes to Beard City, what should I do to deal with it?
Seeing Amelia deep in thought, Eileen felt a little down, because she felt that she couldn't help at all in this matter, and naturally felt a sense of frustration.
Furthermore, in terms of his own strength, he is only a mid-level apostle, and he always feels that such power is not enough.
Am I becoming increasingly ineffective?
These thoughts have been frequently surfacing in Eileen's mind lately, causing her to feel somewhat lost about herself.
Seemingly sensing something, Amelia looked up and saw Eileen's downcast expression: "Eileen, what's wrong? You don't seem to be in a good mood."
Eileen was taken aback, not expecting that even without saying anything, just a slight change in her expression, Amelia could see something.
Your Majesty already has many worries, so how can I let my own troubles affect him?
