[The north isn’t safe either, but I remember in the original plot, the three kingdoms’ armies in the north fell into chaos because they were squabbling over the spoils of war, right?]
[Right, if we go this way, there really is a big chance to escape alive.]
[That seems to happen on September 9th. We can move once those problems erupt, but before that, Eileen and Amelia still need to hide well.]
[Sigh, what’s the point of us saying all this? They can’t see us talking anyway.]
Looking at the exchange in the bullet comments, Amelia fell into thought.
The Angus Continent used the calendar established by the Church of Heaven, the Heavenly Calendar. Today was September 7th, Heavenly Calendar Year 720.
So they needed to wait two more days for chaos to break out in the north, creating an opening?
Then what should they do for these two days?
Amelia watched the comments, but bullet comments weren’t having a conversation with her; they couldn’t tell her everything clearly. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly.
Perhaps she should tell all the viewers that she could see the bullet comments and ask everyone to help her proactively?
There didn’t seem to be a need to hide this.
Thinking this, Amelia spoke up: “Dear viewers, I… I…”
Just as Amelia started to speak, an intense dizziness flooded her mind. The entire world before her eyes seemed to twist strangely, reds, yellows, whites, blues, purples, blacks, greens… every color abruptly became thick and viscous, like a freshly painted oil painting.
The next instant, Amelia lost consciousness.
“Your Majesty? Your Majesty!”
Eileen hurriedly caught the collapsing Amelia, a look of panic on her face.
In her eyes, Amelia had been pondering their next destination, lost in thought, and then suddenly fainted. She hadn’t heard Amelia’s half-finished sentence at all.
After a quick check of Amelia’s body, Eileen found no major problems and breathed a sigh of relief.
She assumed Amelia was weakened from being underwater for so long. She immediately hoisted Amelia onto her back and surveyed their surroundings.
She recalled Amelia’s earlier words. Amelia had dismissed the east, south, and west directions. That meant they should head north.
Without hesitation, Eileen headed north.
==========
The Angus Continent had three Great Empires, seven Great Kingdoms, and ten Grand Duchies.
The Seven Great Kingdoms and Ten Grand Duchies were all in the northern part of the continent.
The east, south, and west were dominated by the three Great Empires.
The center of the continent was controlled by the Church of Heaven, whose power even surpassed that of the three Great Empires.
Furthermore, Elves, Dwarves, Goblins, Mermaids, and other lifeforms lived all across the continent.
Heavenly Calendar Year 720, September 7th. The Steele Kingdom’s castle was breached. The previous king, Lionel, committed suicide by hanging. Queen Amelia went missing. The rest of the royal family all perished. The Steele Kingdom was officially annihilated, leaving only six of the Seven Great Kingdoms.
==========
“Ugh…”
Amelia forced her eyes open, her head feeling incredibly heavy. But the events before she fainted were clearly replaying in her mind.
So, directly contacting the viewers was impossible.
Amelia sighed inwardly. She naturally understood why she had fainted. If she tried to force communication with the viewers, that sudden fainting would definitely happen again.
She didn’t know what kind of power this was, but the pain it brought was intense. She didn’t want to endure such pain again if she could avoid it.
This feeling… it’s so soft.
Putting aside the thoughts in her mind, Amelia finally registered that her head was resting on something incredibly soft and comfortable.
“Your Majesty, you’re awake?” Eileen’s joyful voice came from above.
Amelia finally saw the situation clearly. She was deep inside a cave. Eileen was kneeling there in a formal sitting posture, and the softness her head had been feeling was Eileen’s lap.
“Is it night already?”
Amelia propped herself up and looked around.
The cave was very deep, a considerable distance from the entrance. A campfire crackled nearby, dispelling the darkness within the cave.
The entrance was piled high with large rocks and vines. Even if someone passed by outside, unless they got extremely close, it would be hard to notice the firelight from within.
“Yes, Your Majesty, it’s already night,” Eileen nodded. Then lowering her head, she added, “Also, I was worried you might catch a cold, so I took the liberty of changing your clothes. Please punish me, Your Majesty.”
Only then did Amelia notice she was now wearing an ordinary white dress.
Her expression shifted slightly, and she quickly looked at the bullet comments.
After reading them, Amelia let out a sigh of relief. According to the comments, when Eileen had changed her clothes, and when Eileen had changed her own, a Holy Light had appeared before the viewers’ eyes, blocking any inappropriate exposure.
At this moment, the viewers were also complaining about this, making jokes about kicking the useless Paladin from the party.
“Eileen, you were thinking of my well-being. How could I blame you? But where did the dress come from?” Amelia sat to the side and ran her fingers through her slightly wavy, light golden hair.
She realized her hair was dry now, but it was a bit messy from not being properly cared for.
Also, the dress wasn’t a perfect fit. Especially around the chest, it felt tight and strained. This body’s figure was truly too good.
“I found the clothes by the roadside. There was an abandoned carriage with many usable items. I took them all,” Eileen replied.
She, too, had changed. She wore a white dress similar in style to Amelia’s. The two dresses were the only passable clothing she found.
As for why there was an abandoned carriage… in times of war and chaos, many people fled their homes. Things happened, and people were forced to abandon possessions along the road.
“Your Majesty, please eat something.”
Eileen sat by the campfire, holding a piece of roasted meat. It was from a wild boar she had hunted before finding the cave. Properly processing the meat would provide enough food for the two of them for a few days.
Amelia took the roasted meat from Eileen, her feelings somewhat complicated.
Thank goodness for Eileen… Without Eileen, she would definitely be dead by now. And she would have died in the most humiliating posture imaginable.
Saved by Eileen, then having Eileen change her clothes, prepare food for her… it touched Amelia deeply.
Although Eileen was loyal to the royal family and sought no reward, Amelia, raised in a world of compulsory education, could never take someone else’s kindness for granted.
What could she do for Eileen?
