Chapter 271
"You cannot fool me, child. You only wish to see what we are planning. I am afraid that I cannot bring you to meet with the others-"
"Yet you would have all these plans made for me? Whatever you are planning, leave me out of it. I am not going to get involved with hunting demons. It was your mistake to ask me to marry one then send me off to live amongst them. I do not hate demons like you want me to. I went to the north and fell in love with one. If you see me as tainted then so be it," said Amelia.
Amelia wasn’t aware of her bloodline with these priests before Killian came down from the mountain and she would be happy to go back to not knowing about it.
If these priests had any sense, they would have told her about this world of demons and how they needed to be killed before letting her marry Killian. Then this prophecy they spoke of would have made sense since she was able to make Killian trust her and she spent enough time alone to kill him with holy water or their holy weapons.
Amelia now wondered if it was a rash decision to get her to marry Killian because the priest did not have enough weapons to fight against demons at the time.
Since Killian had come down to fight, they did not have what they needed to kill him yet, but with a marriage to her who they believed had some secret way to kill him and then there was the fact she would return to this castle, they knew another moment would come for Killian to die.
Amelia had also not forgotten how the priests in the temple hid when the castle was swarmed with demons. They were not ready for a fight against demons then.
Amelia had to warn Killian but knowing him and the fact he had the mirror to spy on others, he might be aware that something was happening. Killian only needed to be kept safe until the gates would open tomorrow and he would leave this castle.
Margaret’s plans meant that Amelia would have to fight against the priest tomorrow since they would not listen to her claims that she would not let demons hurt the innocent.
