Chapter 208
Amelia chuckled and expected Killian to laugh along with her but he did not join her. There had to be some sort of trick that he would actually pull away his hand before she attempted to stab it. Why would she even try to stab his hand like this?
"Why are you so silent now when you were so eager to try stabbing me with a knife not so long ago?" Killian asked, finding her reluctance to be funny. "You were all for it when you secretly knew you would not be able to touch me but now an easy opportunity is right in front of you, you don’t have the guts."
Killian put the knife down on the table as Amelia was not ready for it yet. "Everyone doesn’t have the heart to cause someone else pain. Maybe it’s because it is me that you find yourself unable to take the knife. It’s easy to think if one of your enemies were standing before you, it would be a different story and you would have no issue killing them but I’ve seen many not have the heart to do it right as the knife touched the skin of their enemy."
"Are you saying I would not be able to kill anyone with my own hands? Even if I have enough rage inside of me at the moment to do it," Amelia said not believing she lacked the ability to kill someone. "I didn’t hesitate to kill my father."
"Poisoning someone is easier than taking a knife, stabbing it into their flesh, seeing their blood-"
"Okay, I get it. I still want you to train me. Make me into a person who isn’t affected by those things. I don’t want to always wait on you, Cyrus, or Edith to save me. There will come a day when someone will try to separate us. Are you hungry?" Amelia switched the topic as chasing after Killian worked up an appetite.
"No, but if you are I can-"
"No," Amelia grabbed Killian’s arm before he could get her something to eat. "You sit and do nothing. I’m supposed to be taking care of you. Do you feel loved yet?"
Killian was pleasantly surprised that the word love came up. "I wasn’t aware you were trying to make me feel loved. I can’t say I feel anything different from yesterday."
