Chapter 79
"Princess, shouldn’t you have the decency not to watch me while I put on my shirt?" Killian asked.
Amelia continued to stare at him while he got dressed as she requested. "Yes but I am trying to figure out where you pulled that shirt from. You have no bag on you and I certainly did not see you carrying it. Was it magic or something?"
"Can you please stop calling it magic? Not even the witches call it that. Were you not taught to fold up your clothes nicely or did you never have to lift a finger?"
"I never had to lift a finger," Amelia honestly replied. She had no shame in stating that everything was done for her. That was life in the castle for you. "Don’t you have someone who tends to you?"
"A doctor if my wounds are severe and I want them to heal faster but that’s it. I am a grown man. Does your maid help you bathe?" Killian asked.
"No. She only helps brush my hair or else it would get tangled up if I do it myself. There are still things that I can do on my own. Folding clothes just isn’t one of them. Should I start learning before I go to the north?" Amelia asked as she did not want to come off as a spoiled princess.
"Why should you? Do you think I take you to the north and have you fold clothes? Someone will tend to you in the north. I simply do not need such a person around. Will the young woman you were walking with earlier be accompanying you to the north? I need a list of people you wish to take with you to the north so that I can inspect them beforehand," Killian pulled down his shirt as he spoke.
"It will only be me and Cyrus. Gina will stay and watch over my grandmother for me."
"If it is her safety you are concerned you can rest assured nothing will happen. None of the people you take along with you will be harmed. I will make sure of it," Killian promised. Anyone would have to be a fool to lay a hand on people he labeled off-limits.
