Chapter 68
"Can we have a peaceful dinner without discussing the throne, war, or anything else? I want to eat and return to my room quickly," Amelia took a seat at the table.
"I’d like the same," Margaret said. "There was too much noise in the castle. A moment of peace would be nice," she looked at Killian.
Killian sat down next to Amelia. "As far as I am concerned my men have not caused any trouble. Most of them will depart for the north tomorrow so you will have your peace then. Try to hide your smile," he addressed the expression on Fraser’s face. "I don’t need an army to defend myself if you are thinking about attacking."
’Fraser would be a fool to try attacking Killian. Killian is much bigger than Fraser. Well, it would be good to be rid of my cousin,’ Amelia quietly sipped on a cup of water.
"I did not think of attacking you. I am happy that the north and the Blackwells are on the path to peace. I cannot wait for my cousin to sit on your throne," Fraser blatantly lied.
"Is that so? I’m curious about the discussion you two had in the destroyed tower. Isn’t that a dangerous place to be?" Killian questioned.
"I went there to see the damage done and found Amelia there. I’d like to say for future reference that cousins argue. I might bicker with my cousin but I still have a love for her. More than she can imagine. I hope that you will treat her well in the north," Fraser replied.
Killian picked up a cup of wine and swirled it around. "I did not ask for the extra part but sure. I have no intention of mistreating my future wife. She is now one of my people and I treat all of my people well. She is someone I would kill for if someone tries to harm her. Be it a common man or a king, they will meet their end."
Fraser picked up that Killian knew he had gotten into an argument with Amelia in the tower. Amelia had found herself two good northerners to keep her safe. There was a benefit to being a woman after all. Amelia could flaunt her body and seduce all of these men. "I plan to be the same when it comes to my future wife and queen," Fraser forced a smile.
