“That won’t do, because… I can’t bear to see Eileen die before my eyes.” Amelia turned back and smiled at Eileen.
Eileen was taken aback.
"Alright, let's go. Let's leave the academy first, change back to our original appearance somewhere else, and then go see Harold and the others."
Amelia left the dormitory and got into the carriage that had been waiting outside.
As Amelia entered the carriage, Eileen drove it out of White Maple Academy.
Even at night, Beard City remains brightly lit. The alchemical lamps are extremely convenient to use and have been popularized throughout the continent. As the capital of the Principality of Luban, every household in Beard City can use these alchemical lamps, making the night as bright as day.
As they strolled through the brightly lit streets, Eileen felt a pang of emotion and couldn't help but turn to Amelia in the carriage, saying, "Your Majesty... Miss Lily, the starry sky is not out of reach. We are now as if we are in an inverted starry sky. Therefore, dreams are within reach, as long as we are willing to reach for them."
Amelia's laughter echoed from inside the carriage: "I never knew you could say such things, Eileen."
"I... I just had a sudden feeling." Eileen was a little embarrassed, wondering if she had said too much.
“But Eileen is right. The starry sky above us is unreachable, but the starry sky around us is also inverted. We will succeed.” Amelia seemed to have made up her mind about something.
Hearing Amelia's words, Eileen was filled with anticipation for the future.
Soon after, the carriage stopped in a deserted alley.
After stopping the carriage, Eileen turned and entered the carriage. Inside, Amelia had regained her original hair color, with long, light golden, slightly wavy hair cascading down her back, making her look very beautiful.
Eileen also restored her hair color to long, silver-white hair and removed her colored contact lenses to reveal her ruby-like eyes.
The two then changed into more casual clothes, put on cloaks and hoods, and began heading towards the place they had agreed upon with Harold.
Chapter 100 Greetings, Your Majesty!
Beard City is bustling at night, but this liveliness doesn't spread to every part of the city.
There are always some places that remain deserted no matter how the outside world changes, and the night in the west of the city is no exception.
There are many factories here, and after the workers finish their shifts at night, the factories fall into darkness. Even the workers, during their rare breaks, want to relax in bustling areas, but the west side of the city is not a place for relaxation.
Wearing cloaks, Amelia and Eileen arrived in the west of the city, strolling leisurely through the deserted streets. They occasionally encountered people, but they simply brushed past each other without attracting anyone's attention.
And so they arrived at an abandoned factory.
The abandoned factory before us was shrouded in the darkness of night, like an entrance to some mysterious place, giving it an air of mystery.
This is it!
Seeing the situation before her, Amelia's light blue eyes, hidden beneath her hood, lit up slightly.
After exchanging a glance with Eileen, she entered the abandoned factory and arrived at a large hall deep inside.
"Clap!"
As soon as the two entered the hall, the lights in the hall were turned on.
Immediately afterwards, a group of people who had been waiting there walked over and knelt on one knee before Amelia: "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Amelia raised her hand and lifted her hood, revealing a head of light golden, slightly wavy hair.
Eileen, standing beside her, also lifted her hood, her long, silvery-white hair fluttering in the night breeze.
Amelia's gaze swept over the people in front of her.
Harold was leading the way.
To Harold's left and right were a red-haired girl and a green-haired middle-aged man.
There were 29 more people behind them.
Apart from Harold, the two middle apostles, seven lower apostles, and twenty-two prospective apostles have all arrived.
At this moment, apart from Harold, the other thirty-one people kneeling there were very excited because they had seen Amelia, and their Queen of the Kingdom of Steel!
After learning of Amelia's death through the newspapers of the Principality of Luban, they were all deeply shocked. Fortunately, Harold returned to their side at the crucial moment and told everyone the truth.
The one that died was a fake.
The real Her Majesty Amelia awaits their allegiance.
Now, what they are seeing is the real Her Majesty Amelia!
"Get up, everyone." Amelia looked at her first batch of people, her feelings somewhat complicated.
Will she lead this group of people to try to restore the country in the future? It is destined to be a perilous road, but she has no choice but to embark on it.
After everyone stood up, Harold immediately said, "Your Majesty, let me introduce you to everyone first."
"Go ahead and say it," Amelia nodded slightly.
“Ives Edie.” Harold gestured to the green-haired middle-aged man on his left and introduced him: “He was once a commander in the army, worshipped the Sword of the God of War, and is currently a mid-level Apostle.”
Ives' most striking feature was his unusual green hair. He was dressed in simple black clothes and had a solemn expression. He performed the salute that a subordinate would give to a superior in the army.
Amelia nodded slightly to Ives: "Ives, thank you for still being willing to follow me."
“Following His Majesty is my lifelong faith,” Ives said firmly.
Harold smiled and pointed to the red-haired girl on his right, saying, "She is Nicole Wyatt, a believer in the Praise of Ice and Fire, and is currently a mid-level Apostle."
The girl was petite, with long, straight red hair. Her face was round and fair, and she was looking at Amelia with bright, sparkling red eyes, seemingly filled with endless curiosity.
“Wyatt?” Amelia said thoughtfully, “Harold, your surname is Wyatt, isn’t it? Are you related by blood?”
Harold laughed and said, "That's right, Nicole is my granddaughter."
Harold was very proud when he talked about his granddaughter, because she was only twenty-two years old but was already a middle-ranking apostle, which was an extremely outstanding talent.
"I see." Amelia looked at Nicole. "Good evening, Nicole. I'll need your help in the future."
"I...I will definitely help His Majesty." Seeing Amelia speaking to her, Nicole couldn't help but feel a little nervous again.
After all, this is His Majesty.
Harold then introduced Amelia to seven lower apostles and twenty-two prospective apostles.
Amelia remembered the name and appearance of each person very well, after all, this was her first batch of people.
After the introductions were finished, Amelia said to everyone, "I already know about everyone's situation, and I don't think I need to introduce my situation in much detail, as everyone already knows it. So, let me introduce Eileen to you."
Eileen was taken aback.
Amelia continued, "Eileen was a member of the Kingdom's Guard and escorted me all the way to Beard City. You could say that without Eileen, I would be a dead man..."
She spoke slowly about Eileen, and everyone else's eyes also fell on Eileen.
Those eyes were filled with gratitude, admiration, and respect, making Eileen feel somewhat uncomfortable all over.
She didn't dislike being stared at; it was just that she was used to being a nobody, and being stared at by so many eyes all of a sudden made her feel uncomfortable.
After introducing Eileen, Amelia looked at everyone and said, "I am very happy that everyone is willing to continue to follow me in restoring our kingdom, and I am gratified to have you all by my side. However, you should also understand that restoring a kingdom is not an easy task. If we appear directly under the banner of restoring the kingdom, we will inevitably suffer heavy blows. Before we accumulate enough strength, we need to keep a low profile."
“Whatever decision Your Majesty makes, we will follow you to the death. Please give us your instructions for our future actions,” Harold said solemnly.
Amelia had naturally given these past few days a lot of thought to how to proceed.
She came up with many solutions, and rejected them one by one. She even talked to herself so that the audience could hear her, trying to get the answer through the bullet comments.
By now, Amelia has a general plan of action for the future in her mind.
"I plan to establish an Apostle Organization."
Amelia said this to everyone.
An Apostle organization, as the name suggests, is an organization composed of Apostles. As for their purposes, different organizations have completely different goals. Once such an Apostle organization commits too many evils, it will become a sinful organization like the Red Moon Society or the Iris Flower.
In Amelia's view, although they could not openly appear on the surface, they could certainly put on a facade and stand in front of others.
She also shared her thoughts, which drew silent nods of approval from the crowd.
'I was worried that His Majesty might be too young and not handle some things well, but now it seems I was overthinking it. His Majesty is clearly more far-sighted than anyone else.'
Harold sighed inwardly, filled with satisfaction.
Who would have thought that a marginalized princess in the Kingdom of Steel was actually such a capable person?
After Amelia explained the reasons for establishing the Apostle organization, seeing that no one objected, she continued, "Then this organization will be called the Silent Throne for now!"
The Silent Throne?
Everyone couldn't help but ponder the name in their hearts.
"Now we are hidden behind the scenes, which is silence. But we will eventually restore our kingdom and return to the throne, which will be the Silent Throne. A fine name, worthy of Your Majesty." Harold did not hold back his praise.
"Uh……"
Amelia opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.
In fact, after deciding to establish the Apostle organization, she asked the audience what the organization should be called in a soliloquy. At that time, many audience members suggested names they liked, and Amelia chose the Silent Throne as the name from them. She didn't think much about it at the time, but now that Harold said it, she realized that the Silent Throne did indeed have this meaning.
She didn't dwell on the issue and continued, "After the Silent Throne is established, I will be the leader, Eileen and Harold will be the deputy leaders, and the rest of the lower-ranking people can simply obey the higher-ranking people."
"Yes, Your Majesty," everyone responded in unison.
“We also need a code name,” Amelia added. “After we establish the Silent Throne, we will inevitably need to contact the outside world. At that time, we will need to conceal our identities to a certain extent, and a code name is indispensable.”
"What is His Majesty's code name?" Harold asked.
“My code name is Lily,” Amelia replied. “There are many plants in this world; choosing any plant’s name as a code name is perfectly sufficient.”
“I am a dandelion,” Eileen continued.
The two of them had already decided on this before coming here.
“I understand.” Harold looked enlightened. “Then, my name is Palm.”
Upon hearing this, the others immediately began to ponder what code names they should use.
Because Amelia, Eileen, and Harold all chose plant names as their code names, everyone else followed suit, and soon everyone had their own code names.
With the code name decided, the next step is to determine the strategy for subsequent operations.
"Harold, have the remaining two thousand or so people arrived in Beard City?" Amelia asked again.
Besides the apostles present, Amelia's forces consist of over 700 combat-ready soldiers, plus over 1,000 support personnel, totaling over 2,000.
Harold shook his head and said, "More than two thousand people is too many. If they all enter Beard City together, it will attract attention. So I had everyone dispersed in the nearby towns, and only a hundred or so people disguised themselves as a caravan and sneaked in. They are currently waiting at the inn."
Amelia nodded knowingly: "Are you having any problems with your daily lives?"
