Chapter 88
"Why do I get the feeling you knew we were being followed and led us to a secluded place to have some fun? Please tell me I am wrong," Amelia looked to her side to see the biggest smile she had ever seen on his face. "Sadly, I was right. Men," she rolled her eyes.
One moment they were walking among the large crowd but then Killian had the bright idea to have a moment alone. Now they were surrounded by countless men pointing swords and daggers at them.
"You’ve got your candy, it’s my time to indulge in a bit of fun. Stay close to me," Killian advised her. She was safer the closer she was to him.
’I might just walk away while you’re fighting them,’ Amelia thought to herself. Killian walked right into this fight and she had no problem leaving him to take care of it himself. She already got her candy so she could return to the castle.
"Never in my life did I expect to be in the presence of the princess and the king of the north. This must be my lucky day," the leader stepped forward but not too close to where Killian stood. They had Killian outnumbered but he wasn’t a fool to stand close to such a feared man. "One of my men spotted the princess and we thought it would be only right if we gave you the royal treatment."
"No thank you," Amelia declined the offer. It was clear since they were so bold to approach her they were up to no good. "We will be on our way now," she touched Killian’s arm for him to try leaving with her.
Killian bringing them here to be surrounded by these men meant he would have no problem killing all the men present. As much as Amelia didn’t like the men, she did not want to be caught up in this mess when she had snuck out of the castle.
"Not so fast, princess. We have some business to do with you after your little speech about slaves having to be returned. How about you trade places with them if you want the slaves set free? We can make a fortune with you," the gang leader’s eyes trailed down to her breast. His thoughts ran wild imagining how soft her skin must be. "You are not going anywhere. If you entertain all of us, I might consider letting you go. What do you say?"
"You can kill them," she stepped behind Killian.
