Chapter 126
Killian sat with his legs crossed watching the young woman in front of him constantly shift in the carriage to get a look at the scenery they were passing by. "I’m getting the feeling you don’t travel much."
"Not unless it was for important matters concerning the castle. Or my father using me as bait of course. I’ve never traveled this close to the border. Everything seems so different here from the way the homes are built to the way they dress. It must be cold here because of how close they live to the north," said Amelia.
She was so excited to see outside that she completely ignored the annoyed wolf laying in the same seat as her.
Killian was surprised that Lokie was not angry enough to bite Amelia yet. He wondered what it was about Amelia that such a temperamental hellhound like Loki liked about her. Was it because the clever creature knew he could get away with murder by Amelia’s side?
"We’re finally crossing over," Amelia practically stood up to look outside. "How on earth were you able to get past the border? Did all of you fly over?"
"No. There were cracks in your patrols that allowed us to easily sneak by. Your men were not expecting an attack from the north so they were being careless. Not all demons can fly so I couldn’t leave my men behind. Imagine our surprise when we easily entered the great Blackwell kingdom," said Killiam.
"Do not rub it in. Hopefully, Fraser is scared of the north enough to make changes to the border. I hope Gina is fine in her carriage. I told you it wasn’t the best idea for you to sit her with Alastor. It would have been better to put her, Cyrus, and Jahi in one carriage. I wouldn’t want to ride alone with Alastor. That man hates my guts," Amelia muttered, remembering the way he looked at her.
"Alastor is normally like that with everyone. Once he gets to know you better, he will not be so cold toward you. It is rare for a demon to want to marry a human so he has his judgments."
Amelia became curious about one thing. "What human did another demon marry?"
