Chapter 277
Killian watched Amelia draw closer to him despite her falling asleep backing him. He spent most of the night awake, listening to the busy castle. No one had made an attempt to come to their room, but it didn’t mean something wouldn’t happen today.
While he kept an eye on Amelia, Alastor kept an eye on Fraser and received information from the demons they had left here. Killian welcomed a fight from the Blackwells since he was in the mood to kill.
In the beginning, he planned to let Amelia do as she wanted here while he remained in the back supporting her decisions, but Margaret changed that. The temple would be his last stop before he would head back up the north. By then, Lilith and the others should be here with Amelia to protect her and he was making the last-minute decision to leave Alastor with Amelia.
"For someone who wanted to wake up as soon as the sun lights up the kingdom, you are sleeping quite long," said Killian.
"Leave me alone," Amelia groaned, keeping her eyes closed to get a bit more rest. Killian’s tone did not sound urgent so it still had to be quite early. "Did you hear anything strange during the night?"
"Other than you snoring? There were a few noises but they did not come this way. We should look forward to an eventful day. Let the people here try their best and then we shall take over right after," Killian said, placing his hand on her lower back. "You must not leave my side."
"I know, Killian. How many times must you tell me? I know the risk of going somewhere without you or my guards today. I like my life so I will not stray away from any of you. You, on the other hand, must not get so excited about killing someone that you stray from me. I can feel how excited you are."
Amelia opened her eyes to look at Killian who was intently watching her. "I know what my grandmother said angered you, but she is still my grandmother and I have questions I need answered from her. Questions about my mother that only she could answer. I wish I had time to read over all the storybooks my other left me but I will just have to remember them in the moment."
"I can at least scare her right?" Killian asked since he was looking forward to doing something to Margaret.
