Chapter 131
"I’m surprised no one has randomly popped up to get a good look at me and warn you about this marriage. Not even the man you spoke of," said Amelia.
It had been quite a long time since she and Killian spoke to his people at the gates. She had been preparing herself for people who had access inside the gates and expected the man Killian was warning her about would have shown up by now or someone who was under him. After an hour-long tour, no one had come to them. Amelia did not see anyone besides the guards and servants roaming the castle.
"They must know that I am here by now right? Gossip travels fast. Are they not coming to show that they have no interest in me as their queen? Back home, the men in court would have run to my father to complain about the decision he made. It must be because they know they can’t convince you to change your mind?"
Killian wasn’t bothered by what others were doing like Amelia was. Wherever the hell they were they could stay there because their presence meant he would be annoyed. However, he could tell she wanted to get the introductions over with. "They must know by now but don’t care to come yet. They will come on their own terms. Do not make them think you are excited to meet them," he warned her.
"I am not. I only want to see the people I should watch out for and assess the relationships in the castle. I want to see who is on whose side or who dislikes who. I would rather them show up now instead of randomly popping up when I least expect it. What are we supposed to do now?" Amelia looked to Killian.
She was not crowned queen yet so she could not go poking her nose around in their documents yet to know more about the north. She could not browse through court documents or do anything important yet.
Amelia was so eager to start ruling and know more about demons that she wouldn’t mind if the wedding would be tomorrow. She never thought deeply about what her wedding would look like so she wasn’t that excited to plan one and honestly wouldn’t care if someone else wanted to plan the whole thing and leave her out of it.
"Come. I have something that might interest you," Killian took her hand and led her in another direction.
Amelia silently followed behind Killian taking in the area of the castle they entered because they had not come here when he was giving her a tour. ’What could be this way?’ She wondered.
