As a queen who has lost her kingdom, I can see the comments section.

Tabitha Elsie was dressed in all black with a cloak, completely covering herself up. Her round chin could be vaguely seen under the hood, but that was about it.

She watched the chaos on the road in the distance.

'Amelia is thus resolved, and with that, the divine bloodline scattered abroad is gone, and my goal is achieved. No one can threaten our successor anymore.'

'How laughable that someone would actually try to find a lost divine bloodline to return as a successor. Since that's the case, every single one of those successors out there will be eliminated; they won't pose a threat to the person I'm supporting.'

As she pondered these things, a cold smile crept across Tabitha's face beneath her hood.

In short, now that her goal was achieved, she didn't want to waste any more time and turned to leave.

==========

After finishing their training, Amelia and Irene took a good shower.

The person impersonating her will arrive in Beard City before nightfall, and they don't know what will happen then. They need to stay alert and be ready to deal with any situation.

After washing up, Amelia put on a snow-white dress, her long, slightly wavy hair, dyed light blue, cascading down her back and adorned with exquisite hair accessories.

Perhaps because she had just taken a shower, her skin looked fair and rosy, and her bright blue eyes were especially gentle and beautiful.

As for Eileen, she wore a black and white maid outfit, with her usual black garter stockings.

Although she wears this outfit every day, it's not actually the same one; she has many of the same style of clothing and just rotates them.

That Rupert is definitely no good guy.

[Pfft, this girl named Valerie does look a little like Amelia. Of course, only a little; she's nowhere near as pretty as Amelia.]

[Especially her ample bosom, which pales in comparison to Amelia's.]

We had wondered if Rupert would be loyal, but it turns out we were wrong; he's already sided with the Kingdom of Akti.

[As expected, they were setting a trap to lure Amelia out. Unforgivable!]

Amelia was slightly taken aback when she saw the barrage of comments that suddenly appeared in front of her.

When Amelia saw the content displayed on the screen, her expression immediately became serious.

At this moment, are the viewers watching Rupert's side of the scene?

When Amelia learned that someone was impersonating her and that Rupert had sided with them, she deduced three possibilities based on the audience's analysis.

Of these three possibilities, only the second one represents that Rupert was a loyal person who was deceived by someone impersonating him.

In the other two judgments, Rupert is portrayed as a malicious person.

The barrage of comments that appeared at this moment naturally allowed Amelia to quickly understand Rupert's situation and know that Rupert's situation corresponded to the third judgment she had made at the beginning.

The person impersonating him was created by Rupert with the intention of using the real Rupert to expose the imposter's true intentions, trick him into going there, and kill him!

Knowing Rupert's true thoughts has clarified my next steps. As for the enemy, there's absolutely no need for politeness.

Amelia thought to herself.

[The wind is so strong, I can barely see the screen.]

[Has this been an attack?]

[Was this an attack by elves? After all, only those who believe in the Bard's Bow can wield the power of wind, right?]

[Wait a minute, why would the elves attack them? Shouldn't they be a group?]

The reason the three kingdoms attacked the Kingdom of Steel was because the elves were secretly pulling the strings. However, this matter was likely very well-hidden, so not many people knew about the elves' role in it. Rupert didn't seem to be qualified to know such things, even though he was an earl.

[But the Kingdom of Akty should have known that Rupert had someone impersonate Amelia to lure her out, right? Perhaps even that Akty requested it? Didn't the elves know? If they did know, there was no need for them to attack the imposter, was there?]

[Perhaps the elf truly didn't know and mistook it for the real thing, which is why it came to kill?]

The comments section erupted in heated discussion again because of what happened on Rupert's side.

Amelia was somewhat surprised as she looked at the barrage of comments.

An elf has appeared?

She looked at the comments, quickly analyzed the information, and learned about Rupert's situation.

Judging from the information revealed in the comments, although some high-ranking members of the elves promoted the destruction of the Kingdom of Steel by the three kingdoms, their involvement with the three kingdoms was probably not deep, and they did not have much communication with each other. Therefore, the elves were unaware of the plan by the Kingdom of Akti to have Rupert create a fake Amelia in order to attract the real Amelia.

Therefore, the plan did not attract the real Amelia, but instead attracted the elves.

The elves were clearly unfamiliar with Amelia, and Valerie's appearance was similar to Amelia's. With some deliberate dressing up, it's not surprising that she was mistaken for the real Amelia and killed.

After killing Valerie, the elf left.

Rupert didn't see what the elves looked like or how many people came, but the audience did.

Because at this moment the scene shifted back to the elf who made the move, and there was only one opponent.

[Dressed up mysteriously, but doesn't that look familiar?]

[Tabitha, I recognize you, it's you, isn't it? Goodness, this girl caused Irene quite a bit of trouble in the original storyline.]

[Is Tabitha a transcendental apostle? It's surprising that someone of that level would specifically seek out Amelia. Luckily, she's mistaken.]

[Tabitha doesn't seem to recognize Amelia and thinks she's killed the real Amelia?]

[She actually thinks she's achieved her goal... emmm, I wonder what her expression will be when she sees Amelia next.]

[In short, will the elves assume that Amelia has been eliminated and stop searching for her?]

[If they could contact the Kingdom of Akti, perhaps they would realize they killed the wrong person... Hmm, but proud elves, once everything is resolved, why would they still want to communicate with the Kingdom of Akti?]

[The Inheritor, that kind of thing is still quite some time away from unfolding, isn't it? Have the elves already started all sorts of scheming and intrigue surrounding it?]

This is still a bit far removed from the current plot.

The comments section was buzzing with discussion.

In a short period of time, the amount of information revealed in the comments was enormous, and Amelia looked thoughtful as she watched.

She had a general understanding of Tabitha's identity and purpose, as well as the fact that she was a successor of some kind of elf, which seemed to be quite important information. However, this matter was still quite far away from her at the moment, so she could put it aside for the time being.

What I need to be concerned about is Rupert's situation.

So, what should I do in the current situation?

==========

Rupert reorganized the team.

The elves who came with the gale didn't kill many people; they only killed the imposter Amelia and the guards around the carriage who were trying to stop her.

Even though most of the others were still around, Rupert was still left bewildered.

What should I do in this situation?

Should we continue to Beard City?

But Valerie is already dead. How can we deal with the people of the Duchy of Luban? Should we say His Majesty is unwell and unable to meet him?

Furthermore, the powerful figures sent by the Kingdom of Akti had all died, making Rupert feel extremely insecure. Although there were still Apostles among the rest of the group, the highest-ranking among them was only a mid-level Apostle, a level of strength that made it difficult for him to feel safe.

'Speaking of the elf who attacked earlier, is he really connected to the real Emperor? If so, why didn't he attack me? If the real Emperor knew my purpose, he certainly wouldn't let me go, right? Could it be that other forces intervened?'

Rupert began to ponder.

"Hahaha, what a disgrace! Your plan failed before it even started, how ridiculous!" A mocking voice came from ahead.

Rupert looked up.

That was another carriage ahead, with a person imprisoned inside. At this moment, the rear of that carriage seemed to have been damaged by the previous strong winds, and the person imprisoned inside could see the outside situation through the crack.

Rupert snorted and walked straight over, lifting the carriage curtain and entering the carriage.

Inside the carriage was an elderly man with white hair and blue eyes, dressed in tattered clothes, bound by chains. But even as a prisoner, the old man held his head high, maintaining his pride.

"Bah, traitor!"

Upon seeing Rupert enter, the old man spat out his saliva without any hesitation.

Rupert slightly sidestepped to avoid the attack. Although his combat ability was limited, he was still a lower-level apostle and would not be attacked so easily.

“Harold, if you weren’t still somewhat useful, I would have killed you long ago based on your attitude,” Rupert sneered.

Harold, like him, was originally an earl of the Kingdom of Steel, but they were not from the same generation; Harold was already an earl before he was born.

Previously, when he had Valerie reveal her identity as Amelia to attract the real Amelia, the real Amelia had not yet been lured over, but Harold was lured over first.

But the real Harold did meet Amelia.

So when Harold arrived, he immediately recognized that the "Amelia" in front of him was fake. But since he was already there, he couldn't leave and spread the news. Rupert arrested him immediately, and Rupert and his men killed all of Harold's followers, leaving only Harold alone.

The reason Harold was kept alive was that Rupert knew there were other forces behind Harold, forces that he either wanted to use or eliminate. In any case, he needed to extract information from Harold first.

He planned to wait until he reached Beard City and dealt with the people of the Duchy of Luban before properly interrogating Harold, but he did not expect such a thing to happen on the way, which disrupted his plans.

"Kill me if you want. I'm already this old, and I've lived long enough. As long as I can see that you can't harm His Majesty, I'll be satisfied," Harold laughed nonchalantly.

"Humph."

Rupert didn't bother to say anything more to Harold; he just wanted to shut Harold up and save him from trouble.

He immediately took out a piece of cloth and stuffed it into Harold's mouth.

==========

Amelia watched the comments section while pondering her next move.

[It's Harold! He's still alive?]

[Wasn't he supposed to have died by this point in the original story? How is he still alive this time?]

[Let me think... In the original storyline, Harold seemed to die of grief after the kingdom's destruction. But he's still alive now, could it be because Amelia is still alive?]

[Amelia's survival gave Harold hope, preventing him from becoming utterly pessimistic, and thus he survived?]

[What a pity! This is a rare person loyal to the Kingdom of Steel, and he's fallen into Rupert's hands. Even if he survives for now, he probably won't live long.]

Amelia was taken aback when she saw the newly appeared bullet comments.

Are they loyal to themselves?

She hadn't expected to see such information, and immediately began to ponder it.

Throughout this process, Eileen stood silently by Amelia's side, watching her intently.

She had noticed Amelia seemed to be deep in thought, her expression constantly shifting, but she didn't disturb her. All she had to do was protect the person in front of her.
