Chapter 76
’I don’t trust you," Amelia thought. Killian being way too nice did not feel right. Maybe if he was a little bit mean, she would find this situation to be a little bit more normal.
"Was everyone angry that the trip into town had to be postponed because I was sleeping? It’s not too late to do it now. I want people to know about the future of this kingdom soon. They must be scared out of their mind worrying about what happened inside the castle. Has any announcement been made at all?" Amelia asked Killian as he would have to approve of anything being sent out regarding the north.
"No, but they are aware that my people held your castle captive. That is all. I’ve been informed a few people were lining up at the gates yelling for answers.

"Good because I don’t wish to change my appearance for your people. They should know to fear me so that way they won’t offend me in the future. I am a dangerous man after all."
"You should not say something like that to the person who plans to marry you. How can you call yourself dangerous when you have been trying to appear nice in front of me? Make up your mind on how you want me to view you," said Amelia.
"You misunderstood me, princess. I want everyone but you to fear me. You should see the good I have inside. I don’t need my wife to see me as dangerous either. I’ve read I should be loving-"
