The Throne Is Mine

"This is going to be fine. I am going to be surrounded by demons but I prepared myself for this. Once the announcement is made, we’ll start planning for the wedding and then I will become queen just like I always wanted. I need to be more cautious since the people here have a higher chance of being able to kill me. You can do this," Amelia pumped herself up in the bathroom mirror. She and Killian went their separate ways to wash up and prepare for bed. Amelia wasn’t in the mood to eat since she could only focus on the north. After a good night’s rest and a tour of the castle tomorrow, she will be able to relax.

Amelia took a deep breath to now prepare herself to sleep in the same room as Killian. She had been in many dangerous situations thanks to life in the castle and had always remained calm but to be alone with a man like Killian made her nervous even though nothing was supposed to happen. Cyrus was inside her room once at night before but that was completely different.

"Of all the things to be afraid of, you’re going to make a fool of yourself because you have to sleep next to your future husband. Snap out of it and do not let him know you are overthinking this," Amelia gently slapped her face to get rid of her fears. If she did not have limited interactions with men she wouldn’t be this worried now.

"It’s just Killian Bune out there. A freaking demon," Amelia muttered.

She mustered all the courage she had and left the bathroom in a shirt belonging to Killian that he loaned her for the night. Thanks to his big frame, the shirt was big on her and fit like a short dress. Not much different from the night dresses she wore on warm nights.

Amelia exited the bathroom expecting to find Killian seated on the chair he said he would stay in until she was finished but he was not there. Surely mister it was too dangerous for them to part had not left her alone in the room. "I swear if he thought he could dip and-"

"And do what?" Killian’s voice was heard.

Amelia looked to her right and saw Killian standing in a dark corner with a cloth around his wet body. "Did you leave the room to bathe? What happened to us having to stay close because it is dangerous for me?" She asked.
