Chapter 29
"I can’t argue with that. No wonder the Gods do not answer my prayers. They must shake their heads whenever I enter the temple. It’s a wonder I am still able to enter the temple," Amelia paused for a moment to look back at Cyrus who caught up to them.
She wondered if a large number of sins are what made the people of the north reluctant to enter temples or anything that had to do with Gods. Hopefully one day she could understand their ways.
Cyrus raised a brow confused by the stare. He was diligently listening to the conversation between the two women and didn’t find it surprising Margaret wished to move on to her next life. Life in the castle would get to anyone.
Although he believed Amelia would make a better ruler than the people here in the castle, he would prefer if she were to flee and live her life without any rules. Cyrus didn’t want the dirty games being played in the castle to get to her and with Killian not too far away, she should abandon her crown.
Escaping Killian a second time won’t be so easy unless he truly became infatuated with Amelia but that was something Cyrus was not going to allow. For Amelia to become a toy for a monster like Killian. She deserved much better. She deserved the happiness Margaret wished for her to have but she wasn’t going to find it here in this castle.
"Excuse me for a moment, Amelia. I must say goodbye to an old friend before I leave," said Margaret.
"Okay."
"Princess! Princess!"
Amelia rolled her eyes hearing Gina’s cries as the woman ran to her. "It’s like a chicken with its head cut off. Did you take the entire table of snacks with you?"
