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

Amelia was quite familiar with Irene's strength and always felt that Irene should have returned long ago. She hadn't had time to think about this during the previous urgent battle, but now, reflecting on it carefully, she couldn't help but feel some doubt.

Eileen's face showed a hint of apology: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I did return a long time ago, but I saw that Your Majesty had the potential to break through, so I did not take action. I hoped to use that mid-level apostle to help Your Majesty break through."

“I see.” Amelia smiled. “Alright, Eileen, there’s no need to look apologetic. Eileen was ultimately thinking of me, wasn’t she? Besides, I did break through to the middle-level Apostle, which proves that Eileen’s decision was absolutely correct.”

Seeing that Amelia didn't blame her, Eileen breathed a sigh of relief.

[I can't believe Amelia became a mid-level Apostle so quickly; she truly lives up to her divine bloodline.]

[The Archery Combat ability really amused me. So archers really have to fight in close combat?]

[Archers are good at melee combat, isn't that common sense? (doge)]

[If this continues, Amelia's rank will catch up with Irene's.]

Don't underestimate Irene. She's the kind of person who really shines in the late game. I bet Amelia's rank will never catch up to Irene's; she'll always be overshadowed.

[I have a question for the person above: Was your comment about being forever suppressed a double entendre?]

The atmosphere in the live chat was very relaxed.

Amelia glanced at them a few times, but she was used to the audience's irreverence and didn't pay much attention to it.

Next, Amelia used the corpse-dissolving potion to treat Dempsey's body. The body bore traces of her abilities, which could easily lead to speculation. As for the other corpses, they could be ignored.

After dealing with Dempsey's body, Amelia turned her attention to the captured people and instructed Eileen, "Eileen, let's release these guys. Also, see how they can be woken up."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Eileen immediately stepped forward, cutting the ropes binding everyone while checking each person's physical condition.

Once all the ropes binding them were broken, Eileen learned about the physical condition of these people.

She returned to Amelia's side and said, "Your Majesty, these people have only been affected by an alchemical potion that causes unconsciousness. They will wake up naturally after sleeping for a while longer."

“Is that so? Then let’s go. We don’t need to worry about them. They’ll leave on their own when they wake up.” Amelia made her decision and added, “However, there are still Akti Kingdom soldiers in the corners of this city lord’s mansion. Let’s clean the mansion one last time before we leave.”

"I understand, Your Majesty." Eileen had no objection.

The two of them walked out of the building.

They began searching the city lord's mansion and actually found some Akti Kingdom soldiers guarding other locations. Their fate was no surprise; Amelia and Eileen easily dealt with them.

By the time it was confirmed that no one had escaped from the city lord's mansion, quite some time had passed, and the night had grown increasingly deep.

Amelia and Eileen then left the city lord's mansion.

At this time, people all over Rhine City had no idea what was happening at the City Lord's Mansion. No one knew that so many dramatic changes would occur in the City Lord's Mansion in just a few hours.

The two who caused this dramatic change have already left this place under the cover of darkness.

Because it was already very late, Amelia and Eileen did not leave Rhine City immediately. They got into their carriage, intending to rest for the night and leave Rhine City the next morning.

Before arriving in Rhine City, Amelia always spent the night in carriages unless she encountered a town, and she was used to it. After taking off her clothes and lying down in the carriage, she subconsciously moved a little closer to Eileen next to her.

Amelia's body relaxed only when her skin touched Eileen's.

It's winter now, and the cold air permeates everywhere. Amelia naturally feels cold too. Under such circumstances, the only way to keep warm is to get closer to Eileen.

"Your Majesty, are you cold?" Eileen asked, noticing Amelia's approach.

"It is indeed a bit cold."

"Then I will warm Your Majesty up."

As Eileen spoke, she turned to the side and hugged Amelia tightly in her arms, protecting her from the cold.

Amelia subconsciously shrank her petite body and snuggled closer to Eileen's embrace.

It felt so warm and comfortable to be in Eileen's arms.

With this thought in mind, Amelia closed her eyes.

People tend to fall asleep easily in a comfortable environment, and Amelia was no exception. Almost as soon as she closed her eyes, she drifted off to sleep.

In my dream, there was her, and there was Eileen.

It was a beautiful dream.

==========

The next morning, Amelia and Irene got up early.

After washing up and having breakfast, they leisurely left Rhine City.

As they left, news of what had happened in the city lord's mansion finally spread throughout Rhine City.

Because those who were captured and taken to the city lord's mansion woke up at dawn. After waking up, they would naturally leave the city lord's mansion as soon as possible and return to their families, thus bringing up information about what happened inside the city lord's mansion.

They didn't know what had happened; they only knew that they had been captured and knocked unconscious by the people of the Akti Kingdom. When they woke up, all they saw were severed ropes and a large number of Akti Kingdom people's corpses.

Although no one witnessed the process, the situation presented was enough for everyone to understand that they had been rescued, but they didn't know who had rescued them.

When the news spread and everyone learned that the Kingdom of Akti was the culprit behind the mass disappearances in Rhine City, the entire city was immediately thrown into an uproar, and the whole city was in an uproar.

In addition, although Amelia rescued the people in the city lord's mansion, many more people had been captured and sent to mines before that, and those people were not among the people who returned this time.

Many people whose family members had gone missing found that their missing family members had not returned, while others' missing family members had. Naturally, they could not turn a blind eye to this, and it was inevitable that they would cause trouble in various parts of Rhine City.

Those from the Akti Kingdom who remained in the rest of Rhine City were destined to have a headache over this.

Amelia could no longer interfere in this matter.

After leaving Rhine City, the carriage headed southeast, appearing quite lonely along the way.

In today's chaotic world, no place is safe. No one will stay in the wilderness for long. Once they can enter a town, the vast majority of people will choose to go into the town, because only there will they feel safe.

After the carriage had been traveling for a while, Amelia lifted the carriage lid and looked outside. The ground was bare, with only a few weeds lying limply on the ground occasionally in winter.

The trees on both sides of the road were bare, their trunks dark and hard, swaying gently in the wind.

At this moment, Amelia had returned to her original appearance, and her light golden, slightly wavy long hair was being blown by the wind and clung to her face.

She raised her hand to run it across her fair cheek, smoothing her wind-blown hair, and then, as if sensing something, looked up at the sky.

A pure white snowflake fell from the sky and landed right in front of her.

She instinctively reached out and caught the snowflake falling from the sky. The snowflake melted quickly after landing in her palm, leaving only a little water stain.

"Snowing."

Amelia murmured.

She looked up, and more snowflakes drifted down from all directions in the sky.

This was the first time she had ever seen snow in this world. Although it wasn't the first snowfall since she came to this world, the previous snowfall happened in the middle of the night while she was still asleep, so this was the first time she had seen snow with her own eyes.

"Eileen, it's snowing and it'll be cold outside. Why don't we take a break?" Amelia said, looking at Eileen who was driving the carriage.

"Your Majesty need not worry about me. As a high-ranking apostle, my physical condition is extremely strong, and this kind of snow has no effect on me at all."

"Aren't you sure you won't be cold? I'm a little worried."

“I am wearing the thermal top and pantyhose that His Majesty instructed me to wear, so there is no problem.”

"Is that so?"

Amelia looked at Eileen's delicate profile.

Even if you're wearing a warm top and tights, at least your neck and above are still exposed.

As Amelia was thinking this, she saw Eileen exhale a breath, the white steam clearly visible in the cold air.

Seeing this, Amelia simply sat down next to Eileen: "In that case, I'll stay with you, Eileen."

“Your Majesty can return to your carriage,” Eileen quickly said.

"No need, I also want to see the scenery outside, especially this snow," Amelia shook her head and smiled.

"His Majesty……"

"Don't worry, I won't be cold."

Amelia smiled faintly.

Seeing that Amelia had already said that, Eileen didn't say anything more.

She continued driving the carriage along the road.

As they walked, Amelia would talk to Eileen about various things, and as they talked, their bodies moved closer together, practically touching.

Under these circumstances, the snow fell heavier and heavier.

A few hours later, they arrived by carriage at the edge of a grove of trees. By then, the snow was falling even harder, with white specks dotting the black branches.

Upon arriving at this point, Eileen stopped the carriage, glanced at the horses pulling it, and then said to Amelia, "Your Majesty, our horses seem a little tired. Let's stop and let them rest."

Amelia glanced at the horse as well. "Doesn't it usually walk all day without getting tired?"

"It seems to be because it didn't sleep last night," Eileen said helplessly. "When we went to the city lord's mansion last night, we parked the carriage outside a tavern. It seemed to be frightened by the noise in the tavern. After we came back, it didn't sleep either. Now, to say it's tired is an understatement; it's more accurate to say it's sleepy."

"Then let's find a place for it to sleep for a while."

"I see."

Chapter 120 Clash between Amelia and Irene

Eileen led the horses to the edge of a bare forest. Although the forest was bare, there were intersecting branches overhead. They only needed to take out a cloth and cover the branches to form a natural barrier so that the horses could rest properly.

This was not a difficult task. After stopping the carriage, they quickly covered their heads with a black cloth using branches to block the snow. The edges of the black cloth were tied to the branches with ropes to prevent it from being blown off by the wind.

Amelia alighted from the carriage, went to the horse's side, reached out and rubbed its head, looked into its eyes and smiled, saying, "You should rest now. Only when you're well-rested will you have the strength to continue our journey."

After saying that, Amelia went back into the carriage and took out her bow.

Since she needed to stop and rest, she planned to take this opportunity to hone her skills, especially her newly acquired archery skills.

Amelia is not yet familiar with this ability and it is difficult for her to bring out its best effect. She needs sufficient training to bring out the full potential of this ability.

With Eileen's help, she had practiced Wind's Sigh and Wind God's Dance before, which made her use of both abilities much better than before, showing that training is an indispensable process.

"Eileen, I want to practice archery. What do you think I should do?" Amelia asked, holding up her bow.

When it comes to developing one's own abilities, Amelia knows that Eileen has a wealth of experience, so asking Eileen is certainly the right thing to do.

Eileen thought for a moment and said, "Archery is the ability to fight at close range using a bow. If you want to train this ability, you can only fight with others. Frequently engaging in archery combat will help you improve your proficiency."
