Chapter 71
Morning quickly fell upon the Blackwell castle and inside her bedroom, Amelia lay wide awake. Her mind was full of different images of what Killian might look like as he was flying by her window. She stayed awake trying to get used to the fact that demons are real and they can fly.
"Why did I have to wake up and now I cannot fall back to sleep?" She regretted waking up earlier. She preferred never knowing about Killian’s ability to fly. "Can Cyrus fly too? If he could, he would have flown us out of danger the day my carriage was attacked. This is too much for me to handle," she concluded.
She saw why the existence of demons was kept a secret. It was too hard to fathom the more she thought about it and the more she realized just how dangerous the north was.
"What if there are others out there that are not demons but just as dangerous as them? What else is out there in the world?" Amelia asked as if the answer would fall from the sky.
She contemplated going to Cyrus in the middle of the night to ask him questions but she did not want him to see her like this. Afraid and unable to sleep. He would try stopping her from marrying Killian but she could not do that. Her kingdom needed a truce with the north more than ever now she considered the possibility of other creatures also existing.
If they were ever to be attacked by other creatures, her people needed the help of demons.
"Still, why can my future husband fly?" Amelia could not move on from this sole fact.
"Good morning, Amelia," she heard Gina’s voice just as the door of her bedroom creaked open. "It’s been so long since we’ve seen each other and although our guards have been released it doesn’t seem like everything-What the hell!" She exclaimed at the sight of Amelia on the bed. "Are you dead?"
"Don’t let Cyrus come in-"
