Carlotta's Daily Report-Chapter 87: Spending Time

Amelia reviewed the operations of Wales Castle and, finding no issues, headed back to the Moonlight.

After arriving in Wales Castle, neither she nor Carlotta used the Illusion Mask anymore. Now, walking the streets of Wales Castle with her real appearance, people couldn’t help but marvel at the Creator’s ingenuity for allowing such a beautiful girl to exist in the world.

While marveling, the citizens didn’t forget that Amelia was now the head of Wales Castle and respectfully saluted her before stepping aside.

Soon, Amelia arrived at the harbor, her gaze falling on the Moonlight. She immediately spotted Carlotta on the deck.

Carlotta was wearing a black, puffy dress with a wavy hemline. The neckline and cuffs were adorned with layers of lace, paired with black stockings and black round-toe shoes decorated with black bows, making Carlotta look like a delicate porcelain doll.

Amelia was momentarily stunned until she saw Carlotta waving at her, then she boarded the deck.

"Amelia, come here."

Carlotta walked towards the nearest cabin, and Amelia followed.

Once inside the cabin and ensuring no one would notice, Carlotta took out all the alchemy ship blueprints, stacking them into a small wall.

"What’s this..."

Amelia was taken aback.

Carlotta said, "Amelia, you take these blueprints. My storage card can’t hold so many things."

Feeling the storage card now had a lot of free space, Carlotta felt much more comfortable.

Amelia, however, was slightly shaken. She picked up a blueprint and immediately knew what they were, these were the treasures of the Pirate King!

Such important items, and Carlotta just handed them over to her like that?

Perhaps her storage card was indeed too crowded to hold so many blueprints, but anyone else would never hand over such precious blueprints for this reason.

Even other noble children, or even members of the imperial family, wouldn’t so generously hand over these blueprints.

Amelia took a deep breath and said seriously, "Carlotta, these blueprints are extremely important. Are you sure you want me to keep them?"

Carlotta smiled, "Isn’t it obvious? Just take them. You can even store the Moonlight, so these blueprints won’t take up any space with you."

"...I understand."

Amelia stopped being coy.

As she stored these extremely precious blueprints, Amelia felt her heart beat a little faster.

Although she couldn’t gather enough materials to build this alchemy ship either, the value of the blueprints still made it hard to stay calm.

’Carlotta... does she really trust me this much?’

Amelia thought to herself.

No one dislikes being trusted. It’s an indescribable feeling, but it truly makes one happy.

Seeing Amelia had stored the blueprints, Carlotta extended an invitation, "Amelia, I just found a great barbecue place in Wales Castle. Want to come try it with me?"

Any shop that made it into the intelligence reports was definitely worth it.

"Now?"

Amelia asked.

"Do you have anything else to do now?"

"No, let’s go."

Amelia smiled.

Carlotta was in a good mood and immediately led Amelia off the Moonlight. Following the location in the intelligence report, they found Adolf’s Barbecue.

The shop had been closed for a while and had just reopened. Many customers didn’t know yet, so business was relatively quiet.

After arriving, Carlotta took the menu and ordered most of the barbecue items, eagerly awaiting their meal.

Since there weren’t many customers, it didn’t take long for the various skewers Carlotta ordered to be served.

Carlotta glanced around, picked up a skewer with meat and vegetables alternating on it, the layers well-arranged, the meat already golden brown, exuding a spicy aroma that hit her nose directly.

She took a bite, and the meat juices mixed with the sauce exploded in her mouth, an indescribable deliciousness flooding her senses.

This made her chew faster, and even after swallowing the piece of meat, she still felt the lingering flavor on her lips.

"Amelia, it’s really delicious," Carlotta couldn’t help but say to Amelia.

Amelia smiled, also picked up a skewer and took a bite, her eyes slightly lighting up.

As a noble lady, she had tasted countless delicacies, but even she had to admit that the barbecue from this shop was exceptional.

For a moment, Amelia also sped up her eating, her small mouth soon glistening with oil.

Seeing this, Carlotta couldn’t help but feel amused. freewebnσvel.cøm

An idea struck her, and she quietly took out a photo card, aimed it at Amelia, and infused it with magic, capturing the moment Amelia was eating barbecue with a click.

On the surface of the photo card, a picture emerged and fell into Carlotta’s hand.

Amelia glanced at Carlotta, not minding being photographed, appearing graceful, and simply said, "Let me see."

Carlotta handed the photo over.

Amelia looked at the photo of herself, surprised to see herself captured with a gluttonous expression, which made her smile.

Then she said, "This photo is mine now."

Carlotta naturally had no objections, as it was Amelia who was photographed.

Both of them were very satisfied with the barbecue meal, and it didn’t take long after they finished at the barbecue shop.

So next, Carlotta invited Amelia to visit the entertainment venues at Star Bay.

She had previously thought that those places were not interesting when going alone, but would it feel different when going with someone else?

Amelia didn’t refuse.

Soon after, they arrived at the Card House.

There were many ways to play cards in this world, and Carlotta chose a game for two, getting a private room to play with Amelia.

...

Unknowingly, the sky darkened, and a cold wind blew through Wales Castle.

Under the streetlights, Wales Castle was still bustling with people.

"I didn’t expect us to stay at the Card House for so long. I originally wanted to take you to more places," Carlotta said, looking at the sky in surprise as they left the Card House.

She took out a clock card and checked the time; it was almost midnight.

Often, when engrossed in something, one forgets the passage of time.

Amelia smoothed her hair and smiled, "We’re in Wales Castle, and unless something unexpected happens, we’ll be here for a long time. There’s no worry about not visiting other places."

Carlotta nodded in agreement.

Although Amelia’s words had a hint of jinxing it, usually saying ’unless something unexpected happens’ implies that something unexpected will happen, but really, how many unexpected things could there be in this world?

Walking on the streets of Star Bay, chatting and laughing, the streetlights stretched their shadows long.

Suddenly, the sound of numerous hooves came from afar, rapidly approaching, making Carlotta and Amelia stop in their tracks.

They turned around and saw a large troop of cavalry galloping towards them.

"This is..." Amelia’s eyes showed surprise.

She recognized the cavalry; from their armor and armbands, she could tell they were the Imperial Army directly under the Wendell Empire.

But the question was, why would the Imperial Army of the Wendell Empire appear in Wales Castle?

As they approached, the cavalry stopped, and the leader quickly dismounted, kneeling on one knee before Amelia.

"I am a messenger from the First Division of the Imperial Army. Miss Fenwick, the Empire is about to invade the Velmoria Empire. Please gather all the garrison troops from Wales Castle and follow us into Velmoria."

"What’s going on?" Amelia frowned, feeling everything was very sudden.

The messenger didn’t say more but handed over a document detailing the surprise attack.

Amelia took the document and read it, her expression changing repeatedly.

Carlotta, however, understood and couldn’t help but show surprise.

She had previously seen related intelligence, knowing that the Wendell Empire had a grand plan to surprise attack the Velmoria Empire, expanding vast resources to transport a million troops to the Francis front, catching Velmoria off guard.

But in just a blink, this plan was already being executed?

After reading the document, Amelia also understood the situation, frowning at the Empire’s grand gesture.

The Empire’s move was indeed grand, but the cost was also immense, something only those of high status could comprehend. Was it really worth it to pay such a price for a surprise attack on Velmoria?

Amelia didn’t understand the thoughts of Emperor Alex, nor did she intend to speculate too much. Since the Emperor had made this decision, she would follow it.

"Understood. I’ll start making arrangements now. You all take a rest," Amelia said.

"We’ll wait outside Wales Castle," the leader messenger stood up, remounted, and quickly led the troops away.

Watching the messengers leave, Amelia said to Carlotta, "Let’s hurry back to the Moonlight. We’ll be busy from now on."

She had already moved the Wales Castle office to the Moonlight, finding it much more comfortable to work there than in the baron’s mansion.

They headed towards the Moonlight, and on the way, Amelia kindly explained the situation to Carlotta, which aligned with the intelligence Carlotta had seen.

The Wendell Empire was clearly determined to carry out the surprise attack, not only choosing to transport a large army but also selecting a time close to midnight, clearly aiming to deliver a heavy blow to the Velmoria Empire.

As they neared the Moonlight, the time finally struck midnight.

Carlotta walked while summoning the intelligence panel to check, and when her eyes scanned through the various intelligence, her expression drastically changed.
