Chapter 130
"Nervous?"
Amelia found Killian’s question to be ridiculous when he was leading her to a large crowd of demons waiting to hear what their king had to say. Of course, she would be nervous. Everyone present could easily kill her. "Obviously. Wouldn’t you be if you were in my position?" She asked.
"You are doing a good job at not letting it show. Keep that up. Be the same girl who threw the shoe and went against the king. Don’t show them fear or many of them will feed on that to mess with you. Many of them fed on humans’ fears to control them and later on eat their souls," said Killian.
"Good to know right after I said I was nervous. That’s the perfect thing to make me even more nervous. I’ll picture all of them as the men in court I had to deal with. Honestly, I wouldn’t have been surprised if you told me a few of them were demons. Maybe I had to deal with the awful people back home because the world wanted to prepare me for this. You won’t leave me alone right?" Amelia stopped right before they reached the front doors.
"No. I will be by your side. You are overthinking this too much," he ruffled her hair enjoying the sight of her glaring at him for messing up her hard work. That was the side she needed to show the people. "Come, we cannot keep them waiting for much longer," he extended his hand out for her to take.
Amelia held his hand without any complaints. She took a deep breath to get over her fears. First impressions were important and she would not mess this up.
The front doors opened when Killian and Amelia got near. As they walked out, Amelia could see people standing outside the gate talking, and when they noticed Killian coming their way they got happy.
"I have one question before we greet them. All of you follow the devil because he’s a powerful man right? The most powerful man in the underworld. So, for you to come up into this world and have demons follow you and respect you as a king you must be quite powerful. You spoke of levels so after the devil, what rank are you?" Amelia looked at Killian. She wanted to ask this based on how excited the people looked to see Killian. Anyone would think he was the devil, king of all demons.
Killian grinned at first amused by the fact that was on her mind now instead of trying to get advice on how to make people like her. "I am right under the devil. Why? Are you becoming afraid of me all of a sudden?" He looked down at her.
