Chapter 127
Amelia ignored the fact Killian had not placed her down and looked around the new castle she would be calling home. There were strange statues of creatures she had never seen before and contrary to how cold the air was on the way up, the inside of the castle was extremely warm. There weren’t enough lanterns placed around to make the halls this hot so she imagined something else gave the castle this warmth.
"What do you think of your new home? Already thinking of how you want to decorate it to your liking?" Killian asked after the awfully long silence was boring him. He was anticipating a lot of questions but she was silent as she looked around.
Amelia shook her head. "It would be rude of me to walk into someone’s home and change it up," she replied.
"It is now your home. You can decorate our side as much as you like. You might find some of the decor here to be scary," he stated as they walked by a statue of a serpent. Killian wasn’t the one to place them in the castle and he couldn’t be bothered to remove them.
"It will only take a little while to get used to them. Hopefully, there are none in your bedroom. I do not want to wake up in the middle of the night and see a large serpent or whatever that is," Amelia pointed at a dog with three heads.
"My bedroom is as normal as it could be."
"Good," Amelia sighed in relief. "Can you please put me down now? Certainly, there is no one lurking for the moment you put me on the ground for you to attack. It is warm on the inside so the coat I am wearing is making me start to sweat."
"Do not leave my side," Killian placed her onto the floor.
"Oh yes. I am in a foreign land with demons and the smart thing to do would be to run away from your side. I am not a fool, Killian. I want to live, which is why I am going to accept us sharing the same room tonight even though we are not married. I just hope this does not get back to the Blackwell kingdom. There would be rumors for days of how you immediately bed me as soon as we reached the north," Amelia grimaced as she could hear them already.
