Chapter 190
Amelia chuckled, not knowing if it was from finding his words to be funny or if she was just drunk. "I’d say it’s my husband helping me out. Saying husband is odd too," she sighed.
"Thought you would be marriage free your entire life?" Killian asked.
"Of course not. Such a thing would not be possible as I would need to have a child. The issue was being with someone I could tolerate. Who would have ever thought that person would be a demon? Why aren’t you eating any of the meat? Nervous? I heard that people become so nervous on their wedding days that they are unable to eat," Amelia recalled what she heard maids say.
"I am far from being nervous. I am sort of missing calling you, princess. It left my tongue better than the queen or wife. Not that I am trying to discredit your new titles," Killian clarified so she would not be offended.
"It is also odd for me too. I don’t mind if you slip up and call me princess once in a while. Being queen feels surreal and it will take a moment for me to grasp it. I can’t believe I have finally become queen," Amelia said then stopped to take a sip of her wine. "Hopefully, the north and the Blackwells do not go to war tomorrow. I really would not like for you to cover that land in blood. Everyone else is innocent."
"I am aware of that. The only people I plan to kill are those in the castle which was why I traveled straight to your father the last time. It might be hard to believe but I have grown tired of war. I only fight if it is necessary. I’ve been alive for-"
"Please don’t," Amelia held up her hand to stop him from saying his age. "I don’t want to hear the years."
Killian placed his bottle on the table and leaned forward to hold her hand. "Would you like to live forever by my side?" He asked once more.
Amelia stared at Killian, trying to place if he was serious again. "Doesn’t that mean I would have to become a demon? At this very moment, I don’t want to change what I am. And how do you know that I won’t lose the side of me that intrigues you? I might become boring and you’ll want another wife. Not that I mind. My life is more fragile and you shouldn’t be alone."
