Chapter 238
"Where are we going, Killian?" Amelia asked as she followed behind him to who knows where. She looked out at the dark sky which meant her coronation day was soon coming to an end.
"It is a secret. Do you not know how surprises work?" Killian replied. He couldn’t say out loud where they were going as there was something he didn’t want many to know about. Not even Lucifer though he had a feeling the devil already knew about it.
"I do, but I am starting to feel like we are getting closer to the door of the underworld. It is getting really hot," Amelia said, fanning herself to deal with the heat.
"It will get better shortly. Here," Killian opened a door for her.
Amelia had never come this far down in the castle since it would normally be too hot for her liking, but she was curious to see what it was that Killian had down here. "If it is so secretive, why don’t you have someone guarding the door?" She asked, stepping inside the room full of books and weapons.
"Only I can open the door," Killian replied. He closed the door behind them after he entered and did not have to lock it. It was a special door he got from a powerful witch he met during his travels.
"I see," Amelia said, looking around the room full of random things. Things she had never seen a day in her life. "Where did you get all of this from?"
"I’ve spent years watching your kind and collecting things that intrigue me. Your kind might be weak, but they have their moments of creating things not even a demon would think of. Be careful. Some of them are older than your grandmother and great-grandmother" Killian said when Amelia tried to touch an old poem written by a human he met long, long ago.
Amelia pulled away her hand before she could touch the paper. "Sorry. So this is your room where you gather the things you like. So, should I ever be worried about one day ending up here? Or do the things you love stay in your bedroom?"
