Chapter 95
"Amelia, I was starting to think you were not going to show up for breakfast again. Was there something wrong?" Margaret asked, deeply concerned for Amelia. After their moment in her bedroom, she wanted to be around Amelia more and check in when Amelia was not present.
"No, everything is alright," Amelia sat in her usual seat. "I needed to make a quick detour before coming. How are you, grandmother?"
"The stairs are a pain in the ass but I am not giving up my wonderful room. I’m seriously contemplating having someone lift me down the stairs or just enjoy eating in my room. No one would miss this old girl," Margaret replied.
Amelia opened her mouth to reply when Fraser beat her to it.
"That is not true. I would miss you grandmother," Fraser said.
"Hmm. Like you have missed me in the past but never visited or sent me a letter? Let’s not lie to each other when we both know you want me out of the castle soon. I hope you are paying attention to your tutors," Margaret sternly said. "This kingdom does not need another fool on the throne."
"That fool was your son," Fraser replied, slightly annoyed with how Margaret referred to Richard. In Fraser’s eyes, Richard was a good king. His only mistake was not having enough guards around his bedroom. "King Richard was a good ruler and I am sure there are many people who thought the same, grandmother."
Amelia snorted, turning the attention to her. "I’m sure the few wealthy people who benefited from him turning a blind eye would say that."
"It’s my opinion," said Fraser.
