Chapter 272
"Red."
Amelia looked up from Gina fixing her dress to Killian who now sat on her bed. She had been waiting for him but no one was able to bring him to her until now. "I thought it would help with the dramatic entrance I plan to make. Lucifer said that red looks good on royalty."
Killian wasn’t surprised to hear that Lucifer suggested red. The devil had an unhealthy obsession with red. "It does suit you. You look beautiful. You will have some heads turning," he said, his eyes going straight to her chest which was not tied tightly now that she was back here.
Killian dared anyone to take a look at her even for a second. He could do with a fresh soul in place of the food to be served for dinner. "You were looking for me," he said.
"I was. Please excuse us," Amelia said to everyone present in their room. She needed to have a private conversation with Killian before dinner. She was confused about Margaret and hoped that somehow, Killian would make sense of what was happening.
Gina and Edith exited the room and stood outside with the other demons who were following both Killian and Amelia.
"I spoke with my grandmother and that did not go so well. Before we got married, the two of you at least seemed cordial. Someone with the blood of the priests made no attempt to kill you and you were intrigued by her so she did not receive the anger you held for my father and grandfather. Did something happen between the two of you that I am not aware of?" Amelia asked, going to the bed to sit down beside Killian.
"Nothing happened between us other than the usual threats for me to keep you safe. Now I see that she doesn’t like me around. It doesn’t bother me," Killian said, holding her hand. She did happen to look wonderful in the red dress. It would be fun to take it off later.
"She sees no need for me to be married to you now that I am back here. She is planning something to get Fraser off the throne and for me to sit on it," Amelia revealed, stopping her to hear his thoughts before she told him the other things.
