Chapter 87
"How about you just tone it down? We are not animals and during the time period that Cryus has been with me, I have never seen him show interest in a woman to want to have sex with her. He’s always with me during the day and guarding my door at night time. So this sounds like a problem you have but you’re taking everyone down with you," Amelia said, believing her words to more true than Killian’s.
"He’s a northerner in Blackwell territory. It’s not like he could have found a lot of options in your castle unless the women wanted to know what being with a northerner was like. He seems loyal enough to not sneak off to a brothel to ruin your reputation. I’ll give him that," Killian complimented Cyrus. "It is still surprising to have witnessed a Blackwell royal and one of my people getting along."
"Why should I mistreat Cyrus just because he’s from the north? Not everyone on this land hates your people and I’m hopeful that it’s the same with your people. I’ve been learning about the history of this kingdom for so many years but I cannot tell you what on earth even started this feud," said Amelia.
"Ego’s from your side started this feud. I have never cared to bother with humans after losing interest in them when they were being punished. One of your ancestors wanted the north to bow to them as they believed they had more power and a bigger army but the north does not bow to anyone. Like your father, they attacked a village to show their power so we killed a couple of your ancestors."
"I see. Power truly is a dangerous thing. Why can’t everyone just be satisfied with what they have? Oh, sweeties!’ Amelia pulled Killian in the direction of where she spotted the candy. She didn’t think about how she was pulling along with her.
"Two please," she told the stall owner and wished into the pocket of her dress for coins to pay but Killian stopped her.
"I will pay," said Killian.
"You have our money?" Amelia asked as she didn’t see how a northerner would have their money but then again, he did take over the castle which meant he could have taken money as a reward. If that were the case, the castle would be in need of funds so was it right for her to spend money on sweets?
The people would be the ones they receive more money from by increasing taxes. She could not spend what money should be saved.
