Chapter 156
Amelia disliked his willingness to let her strangle him. It would not be satisfying if he would allow her to do as she wanted. She contemplated using the gifts she had received from her grandmother to stab him but it would only start a war.
"You should be thankful to have a lot of luck. If you were a normal person I would have strangled you. I have not solved the matter yet but it will be taken care of soon. I proposed a challenge. Each side will present its best five fighters and whoever wins the most matches shall keep the land. You and I will be there to watch the fight. I figured the best way to get them into this idea was with something they do frequently."
"Well done," Killian applauded her.
"Well done my ass. Why haven’t you taken care of this issue long ago? Do you like seeing villages on fire and people with spears pinning them to the ground? I am starting to question if you truly are a king who cares for his people," Amelia said as she sat down beside him. Why let it go on this long?
"If what you witnessed today bothers you this much then I should never take you to the underworld. They are always going to fight over foolish things because they love chaos and the adrenaline rush at the sight of blood. I could have sent them back to the underworld but as they have done nothing wrong, they will come back here so why bother?" Killian shrugged.
"So, you sent me there to just give me something to occupy myself with? You aren’t making it easy for me to like you. Can’t you just close the gate to the underworld or something?" She didn’t see why he would keep them here if their only interest was killing each other.
"I am not the one in charge of the gates. I only monitor what comes out or goes in. How many times must we go through this? Hasn’t your tutor taught you even the basics?" Killian asked since he instructed someone to provide her with a bit of information.
"No one showed up this morning so I went straight to the tour after breakfast. I will remain inside the castle tomorrow since my dress must be fitted and there are wedding plans I have to say yes or no to. I will spend my free time in the library to learn more by myself. Now that we are all caught up, goodbye."
Amelia stood up and walked to where the pile of her belongings was placed and took out the doll that was on top of the fairytale books.
"What started your interest in voodoo?" Killian asked as he watched her.
"For the last time, this is not a voodoo doll. This is a doll I played with in my youth. It was given to me by my mother to play with. What makes you think it is a voodoo doll?" Amelia asked, intrigued by what part of the doll made him think this.
