Chapter 263
"Is the pain of having a child with me still bothering you?" Killian asked.
Dinner was now over, and everyone was going their separate ways. Since Amelia was told about the pain of carrying a demon child, she had gone silent. She only gave a short answer when someone tried to have a conversation with her.
"How can I not? It is easy for you to say that there will be no pain, but I am the one who has to experience it and decide if there is more pain or not. Do we honestly need children? Isn’t it good with just the two of us? Then there’s Alastor, Gina, Edith, and we have two wolves. That seems like a big enough family already. Why ruin it?" Amelia asked, hoping Killian would agree with her.
Killian held her hand to calm her. She wasn’t kidding when she said she could overthink. "I will be the only one of my kind if I do not have a child, and you wish to have a child of your blood sit on the Blackwell throne when your time as queen comes to an end."
"Why must you always be the voice of reason?" Amelia muttered, annoyed by the fact that he was right. "Fine, but I get to torture you to get back at you for making me go through this. It is partially my fault since I lay there with you, but it feels better to blame only you."
"Of course," Killian replied, not bothered by it. She could hurt him as much as she would like if it would make her feel better. He looked forward to their first child together and the many more that would follow though Amelia did not agree with his numbers
"I am sorry that I did not talk to you about leading demons onto Blackwell land before bringing it up to Lucifer. It came to mind at the moment and I did not want to miss the opportunity to ask. Did that upset you?" Amelia asked, looking up at Killian.
"A little bit. I thought it was your way to get back at me for not telling you about my plans with Lucifer. I would prefer that you be here, safe in the castle when that time comes. I wouldn’t have to worry about where you are," Killian replied.
"I will be safe. I will be with Edith and Sadie. Now Lilith will join us," Amelia said to rid him of any concern.
