Chapter 129
"Ugh. Why is it so hot?" Amelia groaned. She tossed and turned in her bed before opening her eyes and almost screamed at the sight before her but she realized in time that she was in the north. "It is morning already? It is still unbelievable that I sleep through the night now."
Amelia stretched her body before she slowly sat up from the bed. She truly owed Killian something for helping her be able to sleep peacefully at night. "Where is Killian? Why doesn’t he inform me before he knocks me out? Killian?" She called out for him.
The room was silent enough to hear a pin drop. She crawled to the edge of the bed, placing her feet on the warm floor, and then stood up to look around for Killian. She wouldn’t be surprised if he had to step out for a moment. Today was a big day for Amelia as she would be introduced to his people as their future queen.
"He better-"
Amelia paused when the bedroom door opened and in came Killian with a red dress in his hands. "Good morning," she greeted him.
Amelia couldn’t help but stare at his attire. He wore long pants with fur and no shirt to show off markings all over his chest and arms. How had she not noticed that his body was full of so many drawings? Then again, it wasn’t like she had many opportunities to see him half-naked.
She wondered how far he went walking around without a shirt or maybe that was the norm here. Amelia did not know much about the north because they were so secretive and the books the castle had on them weren’t available to everyone.
"I find that you are always talking about me when you are alone. I should feel honored I am on your mind when I am not around but I’d like it if you would talk about me when I am around. I sent a message for a dress to be delivered while you were asleep. Hopefully, it should fit. I believe I described your body quite well."
"I am sure you did. Thank you. I wouldn’t want to meet the people here in one of your shirts. That is why we should have stayed in the carriage where all of my belongings are but someone just had to jump out of a moving carriage to fly. It is beautiful," Amelia said after Killian handed her the dress.
