Chapter 268
"Killian, I never had the chance to ask. What was the response you got when you sent word to the Blackwell castle that we were coming?" Amelia asked. She assumed that no one in the Blackwell castle wanted them to come down from the mountain. How had Killian convinced them?
"I never sent a message."
Amelia pushed Killian’s hand away from her face and sat up to look at him. "Please tell me you are joking. You could not possibly have us going to the castle and you have not told anyone we are coming. With the number of people we are travelling with, they will think there is war and prepare to fight," Amelia said, worried about how it would turn out when they reached the border.
"I sent a letter a day before and received a welcome," Alastor said before Amelia could lose her mind. "Killian had instructed me to do so."
"Wonderful!" Amelia sighed in relief. War was coming, but it wasn’t right now. "What do you get out of making me worry?"
"Fun," Killian replied. Seeing her get worked up was always amusing. "Go back to sleep. It is still a long journey down the mountain unless you have changed your mind about flying-"
"No! I shall rest," Amelia said, closing her eyes. She would rather get out of the carriage and start running down the mountain than fly.
Alastor heard from Killian that Amelia was not fond of the way he flew around. Alastor didn’t see why Killian would fly around like a madman when he was with Amelia. Killian was normally a gentle flyer and quiet enough to sneak up on anyone.
Alastor realised that he needed to start studying humans like Killian did so he could understand why Killian would do the opposite of what Amelia wanted. It was either do that or Killian just keep assuming that Killian was a terrible husband.
