Chapter 251
As Killian flew back to the north before Amelia could find that he was not there, he could not stop thinking about Anne. He had found the woman to be stranged, but never had he placed her to be raised by witches. It was odd how she ended up as Queen if she was raised by witches. How exactly had she married the King with no background?
It was good news that Amelia was still just a normal human. If her mother was a witch, it would have been harder to turn her into a demon. Still, he had to think about how Amelia would take learning about her mother potentially being alive. He half expected her to be ecstatic to have her mother back, but he also expected that she would be angry.
Killian had no intention of keeping what he now knew about Anne to himself. Amelia had already asked Samuel to see what happened to her mother’s soul so he would find out about Anne and then alert Lucifer who would look to punish the witches for stealing. Since he was taking Amelia back to see Sybil, he knew the witch would not be able to keep her mouth shut about Anne.
Killian quietly landed in the courtyard. His wings disappeared from behind him the moment his feet touched the ground. "Miss me?" He asked.
Alastor closed the book he was reading. "No, I will miss the peace I got to enjoy when you were not here. Why do you look so...gloomy?" He asked after finding the right word. "Is there trouble?"
"There is always trouble here in the north. Where is my wife?" Killian questioned. He could not sense her nearby.
"I am not her keeper," Alastor reminded Killian. "She’s in the library," he answered. Alastor was surprised to hear that Amelia had buried herself in books about demons and other wonders of the world. He had to give her credit for putting her mind to it and studying for hours. She was doing more than her husband.
"Has anyone troubled her today?" Killian inquired as he started to walk toward the library.
"The castle has been oddly quiet despite how many demons are staying here. No one has made an attempt to bother the Queen-"
