Chapter 96
"How long do you plan to ignore me, princess?" Killian leaned over to her side slightly the moment breakfast came to an end.
Amelia ignored his question and asked Margaret, "Are you free later, grandmother? I will pay you a visit when you are."
"I have nothing to do but sit around at this age. Come whenever you are not busy," Margaret answered. She gave Killian a quick glance afterward. Margaret was glad Killian had become interested in Amelia enough to not have killed anyone else.
After sensing something was wrong between the two, Margaret was worried he might change his mind about letting them not be harmed considering Richard was dead but it seemed like Killian was enjoying receiving a cold shoulder. Margaret couldn’t help but wonder how her ancestors would feel to see a demon had given up violence and chose to peacefully marry a human.
Margaret was certain they would argue Killian had something up his sleeves and Margaret did not doubt that but she truly believed Amelia would be the one to unite the two kingdoms. As Killian’s love for Amelia grows, he would harm fewer humans to please her.
’We’ve gone back to that old tradition,’ Margaret thought. She had been told as a child that groups of humans used to wed young girls to demons to stop the demons from attacking the others. Truthfully, the demons would just feed on the girl’s bodies so they were no longer hungry and had no need to attack other humans.
’Amelia won’t end up like those girls,’ Margaret thought and it was not because Killian had feelings for Amelia but due to the fact Amelia was the golden child according to the prophecy Richard had found out about.
There was nothing Richard could hide from Margaret when she was still living in the castle. When she found out he dared go to a witch doctor when her side of the family was involved with the temple, she nearly strangled him because of the problems his visit would create. Luckily, there was some good out of it. Richard had made mention of the child in Anne’s stomach being the golden child. The perfect ruler to sit on a throne.
Margaret smiled as she watched Amelia continue to ignore Killian. Amelia did not know it yet but she had a good destiny ahead of her as queen. The one thing Margaret had to consider was if Amelia would be able to shine brightly beside a dark creature like Killian. ’Maybe the golden child is meant to shine light in that world,’ she considered.
