Chapter 184
"Have you heard something about me? If so, what is it?" Amelia inquired. For a moment, she saw anger in Killian’s eyes and knew there had to be something he heard about her. "Is it about the two of us tonight? It is," she confirmed when he looked at her. "I’ve heard plenty of things people say about wedding nights, Killian. Don’t pay their words any mind."
"You are not to be disrespected. I will take care of them. Excuse me for a moment," he said after Alastor caught his eye. Alastor’s appearance meant something might be wrong. "Do not cause trouble while I am away. I do not want to miss it."
"I cannot promise you anything," Amelia replied as Killian kissed the back of her hand before leaving. ’I wonder where they teach demons to act like gentlemen?’ She wondered.
"Princess. Oh, my mistake. You are Queen Amelia now."
Amelia’s mood changed when Cedric of all people was by her side. She knew him calling her princess was no mistake. Everything was calculated when it came to Cedric. "Hello, Mr. Adams. It is a surprise to see you here tonight. Invitations were meant for my relatives and men of the court. It seems the people of this kingdom should have been invited."
"Fraser extended the invitation to me and since many of your relatives have not shown up, I have not taken anyone’s seat. Besides, you might not have heard yet but I will soon be joining the court. I will help strengthen Fraser’s court," said Cedric.
Amelia wasn’t surprised by this and said, "Of course, you would want to stick close to your grandson now that he is becoming king. I hope no one questions how you are able to get into the court so easily when one would have to study for years for which part of the court they wish to join. I don’t recall you studying but it is good to have connections."
Cedric continued to smile, unaffected by Amelia’s words. She was smart and slick with her tongue. Two qualities he wished his grandson had. "I brought you a drink. It must have been a couple of hours since you had something to eat or drink. I remember how my sister refused to eat anything to fit into her wedding dress."
Amelia eyed the two cups in Cedric’s hands. "I had plenty to drink before the wedding started so I am not thirsty but thank you for the offer. It has been somewhat pleasant speaking with you but I must meet with other guests. Excuse me."
