Chapter 77
"Where on earth does he think he’s going?" Amelia became annoyed by Fraser showing up by the carriages. She had eaten and now it was time for her and Killian to go announce their marriage and the death of her father.
One court minister was tagging along with Blackwell guards while five of Killian’s men had lined up to travel along with him.
"Fraser, this trip does not need your presence. A new king being named will have its day and celebration. That is if you become king in the end. A lot can happen between now and the time the crown is meant to be placed on your head," Amelia stated to get a rise out of her cousin.
Anything was possible and Fraser might not end up taking the throne. Other relatives would love to snatch the throne away from him.
"Nothing you say will upset me, cousin. I am tagging along to keep an eye on the king of the north. Who knows what he is up to by going into our town? I will not stay quiet until you and he has left this land," Fraser declared.
Amelia shook her head at Fraser. "You speak as if you would be able to stop whatever he plans to do."
Fraser scoffed, amused by how Amelia was defending Killian. "He has charmed you already? I at least hoped you would have held out a bit longer but you are a woman."
"Killian has not charmed me. I have two eyes that work perfectly fine. I can see how dangerous he is and how you lack the ability to defend yourself or others. You certainly won’t be a king who goes out and fights his own battles. Instead of tagging along when you are not needed don’t you think you should start learning how to use a sword? I heard your last instructor called you useless," Amelia chuckled.
"You!" Fraser thought a step forward to approach her but in the distance he found Killina walking their way. He could hardly defend himself against Amelia with her little northern dog always around. ’Soon,’ he thought. Soon he would have the last laugh and Amelia would be begging him for mercy.
