Chapter 110
"This wish to speak to me. I cannot just sit back and ignore them," Amelia pulled her hand away from Killian to wipe her eyes. She was not going to cry over a simple situation like this. "You are not stopping me," she said.
Amelia took the basket to a box with a lock and walked away to look for the necklace with a key hidden inside of it.
"They are here for something that I did but as they cannot yell at me, they are taking their frustrations out on you. Do not leave this room, princess. I will not tell you again," said Killian.
Amelia turned around to face him and asked, "Or what? You may be my future husband but I don’t take orders from you or anyone else. I will visit the people to let them voice their concerns."
"You will just be yelled at because they want to keep slaves. Right now I am very tempted to kill every last man and woman standing outside the gates," Killian confessed, causing Amelia to turn around. "Even as a demon I have never enslaved anyone. The only slaves in the underworld are damned souls being punished. What gives a simple folk the right to own others? The fact they will yell at you also fuels my hatred."
Amelia couldn’t find herself disagreeing with Killian’s words but she did not want to be viewed as a princess hiding away in the castle. Regardless of if the people planned to yell at her, she would hear them out. Then it would be time for them to hear how she had no intentions of changing her mind about the slaves being set free.
"What do you think I should do then?" Amelia asked, deciding to hear him out. In the future they needed to be on the same page so why not start now?
"Do nothing and let me take care of freeing everyone enslaved. You are a princess, not some regular person on the street they can yell for and you come out to be yelled at some more. There are men in court who should go out there and defuse the situation. You go out there and let them yell at you once, they’ll be comfortable enough to do it again. Instead of speaking, act upon your words."
"What do you mean?" Amelia asked.
