Chapter 69
Killian didn’t find any entertainment in her reaction. Where was the fear, the screaming, and then him chasing after her to further scare her? Why was she looking at him as someone who just struck gold? All of the underworlds would freeze over if it were to learn humans were no longer scared by the existence of demons.
"Why do you look upset? Did I say something wrong?" Amelia commented on his expression. "Will you not answer my questions or must I go to Cyrus?"
"Ask away. Nothing ridiculous of course."
"I won’t. First of all, you could have really destroyed our kingdom if you really wanted to. No wonder even our greatest warriors have been unable to defeat you. They will be no match for demons. Why does the north hide this information? No one would mess with you if they knew this." Amelia knew her father certainly wouldn’t have.
"A lot of creatures like ourselves have chosen to be quiet about what we are. We have no need to go around informing the world we are demons. Where would there be fun if everyone runs away from us? Kings like your father have always amused me because of his ego. It’s simply a game to crush that little ego," Killian replied.
He continued to say, "There was also the threat of many kingdoms banning together to try getting rid of us. Not all demons are capable of protecting themselves so a lot of my people would be killed when I am not around."
"All the kingdoms certainly would have united to bring your kingdom down or they would have tried kissing your ass honestly. Next question. I have read many myths about people like you in story tales. Don’t you have a love for fire or something? Why do you live in the north where there is so much snow?" Amelia questioned.
"There is a part of it that’s incredibly hot and should melt all of the snow in the north but there are powers beyond your imagination that hold everything together. I will say it cannot help that one of the doorways to the underworld opened up in a place full of snow-"
"Doorway to the underworld?" Amelia’s eyes widened. She believed in an underworld but figured the only way you’d ever see it is when you die. "Do you just walk into it and go back to your real home?"
