Chapter 183
"Gina, do not cry because then I will cry-"
"I can’t help it!" Gina exclaimed as she lunged forward to hug Amelia. This was a surreal moment to witness Amelia become queen. The goal was to become queen of the Blackwell kingdom but Gina knew Amelia was well suited for the north. Though the demons weren’t welcoming of Amelia’s presence yet, Amelia was treated better there. "Queen Amelia Bune," she added.
Ameli smiled, patting Gina’s back as tears soaked her shoulder. Gina had been by her side for a good enough time to learn of her aspirations so seeing her become queen was a heartfelt moment. All they were missing now was Cyrus who stood in the back looking around for threats. "That is enough Gina before your tears make my dress wet," she said.
Gina stepped back to inspect Amelia’s appearance, "I didn’t ruin your look right?"
"Cousin," Fraser caught up with the group. He gave Gina a displeased look for casually touching a royal. He would never understand why his cousin cared to surround herself with people of low status when there were plenty of women in the castle well suited to be around a princess. "Be mindful that there are many eyes on you. You are not in the privacy of your bedroom."
"I am aware of that, Fraser but I won’t turn away the people who have been by my side. I don’t care how anyone else takes that. I think your grandfather wants you, Fraser. I wasn’t aware that he was attending. He is not related to me nor is he a member of the court," Amelia said, suspicious of Cedric Adam’s presence at her wedding. ’This is the first time he is sticking close to Fraser,’ she thought.
Fraser needed to worry about her less and more about the people ready to use him each way he turned.
"What are you thinking about?" Killian asked, turning Amelia to look at him instead of looking at her annoying cousin. He took her to the side so Fraser’s mother could not hear them speak.
"How he will learn what it is like to be royalty. He likes the lifestyle that comes with being king but he isn’t aware of the pressure and the stress life in that castle sucks you into. I’m curious how he will react. Will he handle it better than I expect? Give in to the pressure or just start killing people left and right because he thinks it will solve his problem. I hope that during his reign as king, the kingdom does not fall. I cannot stop worrying about it because it has been my home for many years," Amelia said.
"It is still your home. Remember I said you can visit any time you are upset with me. You can return and spend a few days with your grandmother if you want to."
"It is a nice offer but not a good look after we got married today. Do not forget," Amelia paused to excuse herself from the group for a moment. She left Gina and the others to walk with Killian alone. "I want to start preparing for an heir as soon as possible."
