Chapter 279
Amelia noticed how Margaret looked dissatisfied with her holding Killian’s hand as they walked. She thought she would not have found anyone in a castle who disapproved of her marriage to Killian more than Agramon, but she was wrong.
If not for Agramon wanting her gone and Margaret wanting Killian dead, she would have introduced the two of them so they could bond.
"Grandmother," Amelia greeted, refusing to curtsy since she was feeling stubborn and she was now a queen. They should be bowing to her. "We were to meet after breakfast. Has the temple lost its manners by not keeping its promises and allowing us to eat first? What is so important that you have called us here already?"
"It won’t be long. You will be sitting at the table eating in no time. Since Killian has to leave later, we decided to do this now. Do you want to stay out here or come inside?" Margaret asked, stepping to the side to show Amelia and Killian the path to the entrance of the temple.
She filled the temple’s steps and the inside with holy water so Killian could be affected by it. For him to be weakened and burned by it.
Amelia didn’t know what to decide, and as if reading her mind, Killian placed a grape by her lips for her to eat. She welcomed it and let him answer.
"We do not need too many eyes watching us. We should go inside," said Killian. He placed the last grape in his mouth so he could savor the taste. A nice start to the meal he was about to have.
Margaret was impressed that Killian would willingly step into the temple, while Amelia seemed like the one wary of entering
"Grandmother," Amelia said before she and Killian made a move. "If you attack us, this will be the end for me and you."
