Chapter 43: The Pure Amelia

Not long after, a young girl with smooth, water-blue long hair appeared in the mirror.

She wore a white slip dress, heavily laden with lace. The skirt was hoisted high by a petticoat, revealing a pair of long, slender legs clad in white pantyhose, with high heels on her feet.

Wearing such high heels made even walking feel unaccustomed to Eileen.

“Miss Lia, this isn’t right. It will be difficult for me to protect Miss Lia like this.”

Eileen felt somewhat uneasy.

She had never worn such shoes before, and just walking made her feel her calves would tremble.

“No helping it, then switch to flats. But without heels, my height will surpass yours.”

Amelia smiled and changed Eileen into a pair of flat shoes.

After that, she personally took the initiative to tie up Eileen’s hair. Unlike her own curly long hair which looked best cascading down, Eileen’s long hair had much room for manipulation. Amelia directly tied Eileen’s hair into Twintails.

Seeing her hairstyle through the mirror, Eileen’s face flushed bright red.

In this world, Twintails were usually worn by younger girls. She was very unaccustomed to such a hairstyle.

“It suits you very well. Eileen, dressed up just a little, is very beautiful.” Amelia looked at Eileen with satisfaction.

Very beautiful?

Hearing Amelia’s praise, Eileen felt a strange emotion surging within her heart.

She had never dressed up before. Even though it was just an ordinary makeover, Amelia’s actions had brought her an entirely new and novel experience.

[I’m dead… 💀]

[Medic! We need a medic here! 🚑]

[licks screen 👅]

[As expected of my family’s Eileen! She looks good no matter how she’s dressed up. Please, Amelia, you must intensify your efforts.]

[Eileen herself wouldn’t know how to dress up. In the Original Plot, it’s said she never dressed up. I’ve never even seen this side of Eileen.]

[Amelia, intensify your efforts +1!]

Seeing the bullet comments, Amelia secretly smiled.

Because during bathing and changing clothes, the scenes the viewers saw were obscured by Holy Light, she wasn’t worried about anyone seeing anything.

“Let’s go. We’ll continue on our way.” Amelia walked towards the outside.

“Miss Lia, where shall we go next?” Eileen followed closely behind Amelia and asked.

“Where to go? That is indeed a question. Let me think… I want an identity that allows me to live a temporarily stable life in the Luban Duchy. So, what should I do?”

Amelia deliberately put on a thoughtful look, but her gaze was actually fixed on the bullet comments.

As she expected, after she spoke these words, the bullet comments immediately began bustling with related content, large swaths of discussion emerging.

Paying attention to these bullet comments, Amelia’s mind also wandered deep in thought.

“We’ll continue north first, Eileen.”

“Yes, Miss Lia.”

The two left the Inn, got back onto their carriage, and drove it away from the small town.

Heavenly Calendar Year 720, September 23rd.

On the road outside Bild City, the capital of the Luban Duchy, a merchant caravan was advancing unhurriedly. The sounds of turning wheels mixed with the chatter of the people within the caravan.

Bryce Whitley was the caravan’s leader. He had short yellow hair and a physique that looked very robust.

“Stop.”

Suddenly, Bryce raised his hand and looked ahead.

On the road in front, a solitary carriage was parked by the roadside. Two beautifully dressed, attractive young girls were repairing one of the carriage wheels, their water-blue long hair exceptionally dazzling under the sunlight.

Was this a pair of sisters?

Deeming the people ahead likely harmless, Bryce rode his horse closer.

Hearing the hoofbeats, the two young girls also looked up.

“Who are you? Are you a merchant caravan?” asked the girl with slightly wavy, water-blue long hair as she saw Bryce approach.

“That’s right, we are a merchant caravan. And who might you two be?” Bryce asked.

“Thank goodness, we’ve finally seen a merchant caravan and not those hateful bandits.” The girl looked very pure, her water-blue eyes glistening, evoking affection.

“Bandits? It seems you two beautiful young ladies have had an unfortunate encounter,” Bryce concluded.

In the bandit-ridden Luban Duchy, encountering people attacked by bandits who had narrowly escaped was a very common occurrence. The two young girls before him were judged by Bryce to be such unlucky individuals.

“Yes, we previously…”

The pure girl, Amelia, began fabricating her past. She spoke of how she and her Elder Sister were traveling with their family’s caravan to the capital, Bild City, but encountered brutal bandits along the way, resulting in heavy casualties for the caravan and their goods being stolen. The two sisters were the only ones who escaped under the desperate protection of their guards.

“Our fate has been too tragic. Not only did we encounter bandits, but on our terrified journey towards Bild City, the carriage wheel also malfunctioned. It took us a very long time to repair it. We’d never done this sort of thing before. Every moment of that time was agony,” Amelia said, sounding on the verge of tears.

“We are very sympathetic to your plight. However, the distance to Bild City is not far now. I believe you can reach Bild City safely,” Bryce said, his gaze flickering.

“I hope so. But if possible, could we travel together with you? You are also heading to Bild City, yes?” Amelia asked expectantly.

“Travel together? That’s certainly possible. Allow us to travel together, you two beautiful young ladies.” Bryce revealed a gentle smile.

“Thank you so much, Mr. Bryce. You are truly a gentleman.” Amelia expressed her gratitude.

“Follow me.”

Bryce turned his horse around. Amelia and Eileen exchanged a glance, both got into their carriage, and drove it to follow.

[Isn’t this too coincidental? Amelia actually ran into these guys?]

[I hope Amelia and Eileen don’t get ambushed. After all, these fellows are no merchants, but bandits.]

[This group probably isn’t a match for Eileen. No need to worry.]

[Of course, there’s no concern in a direct fight, but they use Poison. In the Original Plot, they wiped out a Count’s family in the Luban Duchy using poison. Too terrifying.]

[Hope they stay safe and sound.]

[What are you people worried about? Amelia and Eileen could obviously go directly to Bild City, yet they deliberately stopped here and infiltrated the caravan. This looks premeditated no matter how you see it.]

Looking at the bullet comments’ information, Amelia chuckled inwardly.

She already knew this group were bandits. She had timed it perfectly, deliberately appearing at this location at this time, precisely to make contact with these fellows.
