Chapter 34
"I miss coming this way," Amelia looked out the window at the townspeople going about their day. Some occasionally looked at the carriage passing by which they knew someone of great importance must be in.
Margaret’s carriages all carried the Blackwell symbol which was a dragon. Though she did not like living in the castle she was still a former queen and continued to follow customs.
"If only we could stop and join everyone," said Amelia.
She always enjoyed being around the townspeople since she trusted them more than the people in the castle. The townspeople were always welcoming of royalty. Each time she came to visit them she thought about giving up the life she had to be carefree and do whatever she wanted.
Margaret would support her to the end of time. However, the reason Amelia wanted the throne was to give the people here a better life. She wouldn’t involve the people in unnecessary war or increase their taxes when the rich were free from it. She heard their complaints but could do nothing.
’Useless,’ she sat back in her seat.
Still, she was trying her best to increase the power she had in the kingdom by getting things for her own that the castle had no hand in.
When Margaret invited her to leave the castle what changed her decision wasn’t about having fun but there was something she needed to check up on. Something very useless for her future and by going with Margaret no one would suspect anything.
"We’ll have enough time to spend with the townspeople after we have settled in at my home. It’s been a while since you have visited and I want you to see the changes I’ve made. Keep in mind that when I pass away I will give this house to you to do what you wish for it. Do not let your father tell you otherwise," said Margaret.
