When Rupert saw a cloaked, unidentified person rapidly approaching him, he felt a chill run down his spine and immediately sped away.

Upon seeing this, Amelia recalled the chase she had been with Eileen these past few days. Compared to Eileen's dodging ability, Rupert's escape ability was far inferior. Amelia only needed to glance at him to come up with many ways to catch up with him.

She leaped up slowly and landed on a tree branch.

With the aid of the Wind God Dance, Amelia's movements were incredibly light, constantly leaping over tree branches and occasionally performing a few nimble somersaults, her movements without the slightest hesitation.

No matter how Rupert ran, Amelia was able to steadily close the distance between them, and soon they were close enough to be within a certain distance.

"You think you can escape by running like that? Your escape skills aren't very good," Amelia said casually as she approached Rupert.

She had been chasing Eileen these past few days, and after that experience, Rupert's flawed escape was nothing in her eyes.

Rupert turned and glanced at Amelia.

Lower-ranking apostle?

Elf?

Through Amelia's actions, he quickly assessed her strength, which reassured him somewhat.

If he were merely a lower-ranking apostle, then he would have nothing to fear.

Furthermore, a layer of wind constantly surrounds the opponent; is this a wind-related ability? Does this mean the opponent is an elf?

As several thoughts flashed through his mind, Rupert suddenly stopped and charged at Amelia, his fist smashing down. As it came down, the fist suddenly grew huge, becoming as big as a round table.

This change made Amelia raise an eyebrow.

She realized that Rupert worshipped the Sword of War, believing that worshipping the Sword of War could grant him the power of both sword and physique. The ability Rupert was currently displaying was clearly a physical ability.

This ability is limb enlargement, which allows a specified part of the body to become enormous.

On her way to the Principality of Luban, Amelia had seen some thieves use this ability and knew that for people of lower rank, they could only designate one body part to have the ability to grow to enormous size, and this ability could not be changed.

Only by rising in rank and becoming more powerful can one choose to make any part of their body enormous.

As information about this ability flashed through her mind, Amelia sidestepped Rupert's attack.

Rupert was not discouraged by his failure. He roared and began swinging his fists around like hammers at Amelia.

He knew there was another high-ranking apostle present, so he had to deal with this guy as soon as possible to escape. If he didn't deal with him, he wouldn't be able to get away at all, and he would be finished once the high-ranking apostle arrived.

Rupert's thinking was clear, but no matter how he attacked, he could never reach Amelia.

At this moment, Amelia's delicate body floated around like willow catkins in the wind, nimbly and easily dodging all of Rupert's attacks, appearing relaxed and carefree.

Amelia was relieved, but Rupert's heart sank.

Why can't I hit it?

Why can't I hit this guy?

As a lower-ranking apostle, Rupert possessed two abilities, and at this moment he unhesitatingly displayed his second ability.

Impact!

Rupert threw a punch at Amelia, but although the punch didn't hit Amelia, a shockwave quickly spread out from in front of his fist.

Amelia dodged to the side, and the trees behind her exploded as she moved away, as if struck by a heavy blow, with wood chips and shavings flying everywhere.

"Gigantification of limbs and impact? So that's your two abilities. I see."

Amelia understood.

Now that she knew the other party's abilities, she no longer needed to worry about any underhanded tricks. She decisively raised her bow and aimed it at Rupert.

The sigh of the wind!

Amelia drew the bowstring and released it, and the blue arrow flew out immediately.

Rupert hurriedly dodged to the side, but his agility was no match for Amelia's. Even though he tried his best to dodge, he still couldn't avoid her because they weren't far enough apart.

Chapter 96 Please restore the kingdom, Your Majesty

"puff!"

The blue arrow pierced Rupert's waist, tearing his body apart and causing him to scream in agony.

He had a pocket at his waist containing some things, but it did nothing to protect him from the arrow.

However, as the arrow pierced his body, the contents of his pocket shattered with a crisp sound, and dust scattered out.

This is a revealing dust, an alchemical tool that has recently been sold in many places in the Principality of Luban. Rupert felt it might be useful, so he bought some and carried it with him.

After Amelia shot Rupert with an arrow, she was about to shoot another to finish him off, but the dust emanating from him made her instinctively take two steps back.

The dust was spreading too fast and was so dense that Amelia couldn't completely avoid it. Instead, her hasty retreat caused the hood of her cloak to fall off, revealing her long, slightly wavy, light blue hair.

However, the moment this head of light blue hair was revealed, it quickly changed color, turning into light golden, slightly wavy hair that fluttered gently in the night breeze.

"So it was visible dust? That startled me."

Amelia patted her chest and whispered something.

Rupert clutched his pierced kidney, knelt on one knee, and struggled to look up at Amelia.

When Rupert saw Amelia's appearance, he was momentarily stunned and dazed.

Valerie?

No, she was far more beautiful than Valerie, as if she were the real... the real...

As Rupert pondered this, his pupils contracted sharply.

"Ah...Your Majesty Amelia?"

Rupert stared at the girl in disbelief.

The girl who can wield the power granted by the Bard's Bow, and who is already a lower-ranking apostle, is actually Amelia?

I didn't detect any of the pointed ears characteristic of elves on the other person, so is he a half-elf?

Does the Steele royal family have elven blood?

At that moment, a jumble of chaotic thoughts surfaced in Rupert's mind, leaving him kneeling there in a daze.

Amelia touched her slightly wavy, light blonde hair. She didn't seem to care about being exposed, since the one who discovered the situation was just a dying person.

With a calm expression, she raised her bow and aimed it at Rupert.

"Wait!" Seeing Amelia's actions, Rupert felt a strong sense of crisis and quickly said, "Wait, Your Majesty, I have so much to say. Why is someone impersonating Your Majesty? Why am I here? There are many things involved..."

"I don't need you to know these things."

Amelia spoke calmly, and the arrow in her hand flew directly from the longbow, piercing Rupert's head without any suspense, bringing with it a spray of blood.

She could get all the information she could from Rupert from the comments, so Rupert's significance wasn't that important.

And shouldn't it be common sense to finish off an opponent when you gain an advantage in battle?

As Rupert's body fell to the ground, Amelia put away her bow and turned back to the side of the road.

There were no more shouts of killing in this place; only the flames of the campfire flickered in the night, and occasionally the crackling sound of burning firewood could be heard in the quiet night.

All the damned people are dead. Eileen stands in the middle of the field, her cloak hood pulled down, her long silver hair gleaming enchantingly in the moonlight.

She was carrying a sword, which was covered in blood, and drops of blood were sliding down it.

As Eileen walked, blood spread across the ground, leaving a broken trail.

After scanning the numerous corpses, Amelia approached and asked, "Eileen, did you kill them all?"

“Those who tried to attack and escape were all killed. The only one who survived was a man imprisoned in a carriage. I have met him before; he is Earl Harold Wyatt. I think His Majesty should decide how to deal with him.”

Eileen turned to look at Amelia.

When she saw Amelia's light golden, slightly wavy long hair, she was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Amelia to reveal her true appearance.

She revealed her true form because during the battle, she accidentally damaged a carriage, destroying many things inside, including revealing dust, which caused her true form to be revealed. But shouldn't His Majesty be watching the battle from the forest?

"Your Majesty, what is this...?"

“I also took care of one guy, he was in the woods. Go and dispose of his body.”

"...It was my fault."

Hearing Amelia say this, Eileen realized that she had overlooked an enemy, an enemy that Amelia had dealt with.

“No, Eileen has done very well. You can’t say you’re not good enough.” Amelia smiled.

Eileen: "..."

“Alright, I’ll go check on the person who’s been imprisoned.” Amelia walked toward a carriage not far away.

Arriving at the carriage, Amelia lifted the curtain and peered inside.

An elderly man with white hair appeared before Amelia, dressed in slightly tattered clothes and bound by ropes.

When Amelia looked at the other person, Harold's blue eyes also fell on Amelia. When he saw Amelia's appearance clearly, his eyes trembled violently, and he almost thought he was seeing things.

“Earl Harold, we’ve met before, haven’t we?”

As Amelia spoke, she pulled the strip of cloth out of Harold's mouth.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, it's so good that you're still alive!" Harold was moved to tears when he saw Amelia standing before him unharmed.

Amelia felt a little embarrassed by this expression, coughed, and said, "Anyway, let me help you remove the ropes binding you first."

Through the comments, Amelia had confirmed that Harold's loyalty was beyond question.

I was worried that Harold would suffer a lot because of Rupert, but I didn't expect Amelia to rescue him so quickly.

[Wasn't Amelia's move incredibly decisive and swift this time? She immediately identified Rupert as a threat, confirmed there was no force threatening her here, and then led Eileen to attack.]

[Her calm demeanor towards Harold suggests she harbors no suspicions about him.]

Since Harold is being held captive by Rupert, if Rupert is confirmed to be guilty, then Harold is most likely safe, right?

How exactly did Amelia determine that Rupert was problematic?

[Perhaps besides the three judgments we made, Amelia considered more possibilities and deduced from subtle clues that Rupert was the enemy.]

Amelia's wisdom is beyond our comprehension.

The live chat was buzzing with discussion, with people debating what had happened that night.
