Chapter 58
"Do as you please," Amelia calmly stated after the man threatened to kill her should she run. Wasn’t it obvious that if she wanted to run she would have done so already? His attempt to scare her fell flat. "Where are your king and my grandmother?"
"They are having breakfast and shall- wait!"
"Why wait when you have told me all that I needed to hear? Come, Cyrus. We are in need of something to eat," Amelia began to lead the way to the dining room. She expected there would be someone placed to watch her and other important people in the castle.
As Amelia walked through the castle, she saw many northerners positioned at every inch of the exits. They mostly spent the night mapping out the castle or they already had one. It would explain how Killian was able to move around in the castle without being spotted. How else would he know all the blind spots? Unless someone was helping him?
The person anyone else would think it to be would be Cyrus but Amelia knew him well enough to trust that he would not help Killian invade the castle. Besides, that would be too obvious. If there was someone in the Blackwell castle helping Killian, they would soon reveal themselves to show their alliance. ’
"Grandmother?" Amelia accidentally spoke out loud as the thought of her grandmother as the person came to mind.
Margaret mentioned being able to talk with Killian as she had done so in the past and strangely enough, Margaret and Killian both spoke of marriage. It seemed plausible but Amelia wanted to think her grandmother would not put the castle she once ruled in danger and allow her son to be killed.
Regardless of what Margaret thought about the king, he was still her son. Her only child. Could she have brought herself to let Killian kill him?
’How am I to face her when I’ve killed her son?’ Amelia asked herself. Not once had she thought about the fact she was killing her grandmother’s only child. She had only considered killing her father whom she could no longer allow to live.
