Chapter 112
"Wow. A lot of them have gathered at the gates. Really puts into perspective how many people owned someone else and this is not even all of them. The more corrupt people in the slave trade are somewhere trying to hide the people," Amelia said as she and Killian walked down the steps where a horse was waiting for them.
"I’ve pulled a lot of the corrupt ones out of their holes and sent them for your guards to inspect them. I’m sure many of them have connections in the castle to help them get out. If it is fine with you, they will die for some reason."
Amelia caught on to what Killian was trying to say. If they allowed these people to get away there was a strong possibility of them going back to be involved in the slave trade she was trying so hard to make disappear. "Do whatever you want as long as innocent people who had no part in it are not hurt. You will have a lot of men from court trying to bribe you to not hurt their friends," she said.
"I am going to be leaving this castle with many riches then," Killian replied.
Amelia had a better idea for his money and said, "Or you can do something that will move my heart and quite possibly have feelings for you."
Killian took the reins of the horse from one of his men who had brought out the horse for him. "Thank you," he thanked the man who bowed and went off to do something productive.
’A demon with manners. Who could have imagined this,’ Amelia thought.
"You mean to tell me you don’t already have feelings for me, princess? After everything that I have done for you?"
Amelia thought she must have memory loss because she could not recall the things Killian did for her. He suggested a truce because he was interested in her and wanted to marry her. She didn’t need him to take the blame for her father’s death considering no one would be able to link it back to her. "What exactly have you done for me besides making me almost be taken advantage of?" She had to ask.
