Chapter 124
Amelia sat on her grandmother’s bed, watching as Margaret disappeared into her closet. "I would love to take something belonging to you to the north so that I have a piece of you there. How about that carriage you were going to give to me?" She asked.
"I have something better," Margaret returned with a stack of boxes.
"You should have let me help you," Amelia stood up to take the three boxes from her grandmother. "Did you pack rocks inside of these? Why are they so heavy?"
"You’ll see soon. I’ve been making them for a while now and they’ve finally arrived today. Here. Open the smallest one first," Margaret sat down on the bed and handed Amelia the smallest of the three boxes.
Amelia sat down beside Margaret, excited to see what was on the inside. Outside of her mother, Margaret always had the best gifts. "Is this for my hair? The end is so pointy," she touched the sharp end of the hair decoration. If she was not careful with this, someone could seriously get hurt. "Is this to protect me in case someone tried grabbing my hair?"
"It is meant to be in your hair at all times so if a demon tries to attack you, you can easily pull this out to defend yourself. My family has secrets about what can hurt a demon. From the moment your father started to mess with the north again, I started to make a couple of weapons to keep this kingdom safe. After your engagement, I ordered three special things to be made for you," Margaret explained.
’Was that what the cart on her land was for?’ Amelia remembered. She remembered the cart being taken off her grandmother’s land the day she was supposed to sleep over.
"Will you be giving the castle these new weapons? If so, what will you say to Fraser?" Amelia asked since Fraser could not know about demons.
"That they are a donation and leave it at that. He’ll be thankful someone else had made a donation and money does not need to be taken from the castle to pay for new weapons."
