Chapter 282: - 282
"What part of she is not going to die is hard for you to understand? If you are still alive in the coming days, you will be the first human we visit to show off that she is now a demon," Killian said as he picked up another priest to feed on.
Margaret was confident in the fact that she was not going to die. "Amelia would never let you kill me," she said.
"I respect Amelia’s decisions, but after your threat to cleanse her and get rid of any child we might have, I will be killing you. Stop thinking you can control what she says or does anymore. She is already disobeying you by still being married to me. It’s amusing that as priests, your souls do not taste good," Killian said, dropping the priest he fed on. He was leaving the rest for some other demon to feed on.
"Amelia wishes to speak with you about her mother and whatever secrets were kept from her during her time in this castle. I suggest you answer her honestly since there are people around her who can tell that you are lying. As much as I would love to stand around here and torture you, I need to check on my wife before her fool of a cousin tries to kill me," Killian said.
Amelia needed to give him a reward for not creating a bloody mess in the temple, though it filled his mind.
"Do not try to run away since you will not make it far, and if you somehow slip away, the world outside the castle won’t be safe for you since we know who you are."
Margaret did not understand what Killian was saying. The only thing she could piece together was that demons were currently hunting for priests. Her saving grace would be Amelia, but she needed to get to Amelia when Killian was not around.
Killian disappeared from the temple to where he sensed Amelia and found her inside their bathroom, soaking in a tub of water. His presence surprised Gina at first, but she had gotten used to demons popping out of nowhere, so she was able to calm herself quickly.
Edith, who was covered in red rashes since she was bold enough to help Amelia walk, left the bathroom with Gina to give the couple some privacy.
Killian knelt down beside Amelia, who was lying in the tub, unaware of the fact that he was there. Her eyes closed like she had fallen asleep, but he knew she was awake. "Is it still painful?"
"I can bear it now. The cold water feels nice," Amelia murmured. Never before had cold water felt so good. "My dress is ruined. I really like this one."
"I can help you dry it quickly when you get out. I’m sorry to have not moved in time so you wouldn’t have holy water burn you," Killian apologised.
