Chapter 148
The moment Amelia exited the carriage all eyes fell upon her specifically. It didn’t matter that Gina was also different from everyone else. The stares had not shifted from Amelia to Gina.
Amelia ignored the stares, keeping a smile as she followed behind Alastor. The last thing she wanted to do at this moment was to show anyone that she was scared or they would feed off of it.
Gina stuck close to Amelia, still trying to process the king’s death and handle the deadly stares at Amelia. ’Even the children have stopped to watch her,’ she thought.
Cyrus tied his horse near the carriage and speed walked to where Amelia was.
"They are selling vegetables. Are there fields nearby? I didn’t get a good look at the land on my way up," Amelia said to Alastor. She was intrigued by the corn, potatoes, and produce that was on sale in boxes. They would profit greatly if some of these vegetables were traded to the Blackwell kingdom.
Amelia remembered overhearing complaints from farmers to her father about some soil not being good enough for their vegetables to grow as they should.
"There are a lot of lands nearby that the farmers here use. The people here are less likely to find souls to find one but lucky for them they can thrive off of food to sustain themselves. The castle has business with a few of the farmers and there are some items sent down to the underworld. The queen misses it and the Devil has gotten accustomed to it. Specifically anything with alcohol," Alastor explained.
Amelia found their life to be fascinating the more she learned about it. What once seemed scary was actually intriguing. There was so much to be shared between the two kingdoms if they could only work together.
"So it is true. Killian Bune wants to marry one of them," a stranger hissed.
