Chapter 154
Phillip balled up his fists desperately wanting to attack Alastor for hitting him but if he did attack, he was bound to find himself without a tongue. It wouldn’t be a fair fight since he was not as strong as the king’s dog.
’What a world this has become where a demon would punch another to protect a human,’ Phillip thought. Living in the up-top world must be getting to Killian and his people. The man needed to pay a visit to the underworld to be reminded of what they are and what they do to humans.
Cyrus was upset he was not the one to punch the man for being indecent with Amelia but he was thankful that Alastor would not let Amelia be disrespected even if Alastor was only doing this not because he cared about Amelia but because he didn’t like someone disrespecting Killian’s choice. So far, Amelia was having a better time in the north than he expected.
Amelia found Phillip to be the scum of the earth for what his kind took part in and decided she did not require his help. She got the gist of this pointless fight and knew how to stop it already. "I want to make an announcement, Alastor. Please gather everyone for me," she said.
Alastor looked at Amelia, trying to think of what she had in mind. He left her side to ring a bell in the village. From the very first ring, those present stopped to look at him. It had been a long time before anyone cared to ring the bell.
Amelia walked to where Alastor was and said, "Hello. My name is Amelia Blackwell, soon to be Amelia Bune. I’ve been sent here to help solve this feud you have and I have already come up with a solution. There is plenty of lands for one group to move to so the fighting can stop. I won’t randomly pick which side must move so we will do this your way. A challenge."
For people who enjoyed fighting, the only way they would listen or follow what she had in mind was if she spoke their language. It was how she dealt with the troublesome children who frequented the castle with their parents.
Amelia continued to say, "Each side should present their best fighter for Killian and me to watch. Let’s say five fighters so whoever wins the most fights out of five matches gets to keep this land. The loser shall move. If you show good skills, I will convince Killian to bring you to the castle. Unfortunately, the wedding is near so this challenge will take place right after. It shall give you enough time to prepare. There should be no more fighting until then. Save it for when it counts. That is all."
