Chapter 204
"A frozen river," Amelia said, looking at the frozen body of water before her and Killian. Out of all the things she tried think Killian was trying to surprise her with, this hadnot crossed her mind.
Killian was proving to be more unpredictable and romantic day by day. He was already taking over a day she wanted to be centered around him.
"From watching your kind, you seemed to have fun playing around on frozen water. Ignoring the danger, I can see how it would be fun," Killian replied.
He watched human children and a few adults enjoy themselves when the nearby waters froze up. Sometimes, he wouls meddle to make the ice crack as it was fun for him to see them panicking. He was never disappointed by their screams and fear of dying.
"I didn’t get to play around with it in my much because everyone was afraid something would happen to the princess or my mother who would be the one to take me to see things like this. We got to slide around on ice when we visited my grandmother’s house in the past. Those days were peaceful, and I see now how much I took them for granted," Amelia said, finding the memories to be bittersweet.
If she could have looked into the future and learn of her mother’s death, she would have spent more time with mother. If she had lived ever day like it was the last, she might not find herself in this position, holding to little memories.
Killian carefully put her down at the edge of the frozen river. He wasn’t familiar with this area but he had once seen the river frozen when he flew around the mountain.
"Gentlemen first," Amelia gave way for him to walk on it first. The level of the river didn’t seem too high but still, for the ice to crack open and her to fall in would not be a good experience.
"Isn’t it ladies first?" Killian asked though he already knew the right term. He walked onto the ice to ease her mind about the ice possibly cracking beneath her. "It is safe," he tapped his feet down on the ice to show how strong the ice was.
