Chapter 240
"Leonard always wants to do the right thing and he’s no longer in the castle. It’s somewhat not surprising he would try to help find the rest of the northerners. He wouldn’t want a war to start because our people were not returned to the north. Leonard would never listen to Fraser so it was only a matter of time before he left anyway. He only stood by my father to watch over me. His last deed for my mother," Amelia said.
"A war will start despite his efforts. Your cousin will never let the north be after we invaded the castle. The Blackwells have something to prove before other kingdoms think they are weak and try to take over their land. They missed out big by not signing a truce with us. It would have guaranteed no one would want to fight against them for a while when they believed the North would join the fight," Killian said, touching the mirror to make it stop showing them Leonard.
"If we go to war with Fraser, it just means a lot of people from that side will lose. Neither kingdom needs war at the moment. At least we can keep an eye on what Fraser is doing and stay ahead of whatever he intends to do. I don’t know much about what you plan to do with Fraser, but please don’t bring the innocent people who already lost so much into this. Focus on Fraser and the men in the court. Can we magically appear in our room now? I’m tired," Amelia said, holding onto Killian’s arm and resting her head against him.
"I need to cover this first. Will we be attending dinner or are you too tired? I am not exactly in the mood to see or listen to Lucifer at dinner. I am considering sending him back down into the underworld soon," Killian replied whilst covering the mirror just as they had found it.
"I don’t mind going down to dinner. We’ve already abandoned our guest once. It wouldn’t be fair to skip out on dinner. You don’t have to join me if you don’t want to. I will say you are sick," said Amelia.
"They’ll know you’re lying in two ways. One, you forget we’re good at picking up on lies, and two, a demon like me would never get sick. Still, I appreciate your willingness to try lying for me. Come with me," Killian held her hand to lead her out of the room. Since the room was well protected so no one could steal what was inside, he could not take her to their room from the inside.
"Wait," Amelia said when they got outside. "Before we leave, there is something I need to do. Please wait here for a moment. Cyrus!" She called to him when she spotted him for a slight second. Amelia had not gotten the chance to speak with him because she was so distracted and then she had left with Killian.
Amelia left Killian’s side to try reaching Cyrus in time before she would lose sight of him.
"Queen Bune," Cyrus addressed her. He heard the faint sound of Amelia calling after him and thought it to be a trick of his mind, but was surprised when he smelled her so far down near the gates of the underworld. "Isn’t it too hot for you?"
