Chapter 283
After what felt like hours, Amelia dragged herself out of the bathroom, no longer feeling like her skin was on fire.
"I have your breakfast," Gina said, pointing to the food she placed on the table. "Do you need my help? Should I pick out another dress? You were so pretty in this one."
All her effort to make Amelia extra pretty for this special day was wasted.
"There should be another blue and gold dress somewhere around here, but I am just going to lay around in this dress for a little bit longer. It feels nice to be wet," Amelia said, sitting down on her bed.
Her hair was messy now and her dress stuck to her because of the water, but it was much better than what she felt when she was in the temple. All she needed now was food and she would be back to normal.
"Where is Killian?" Amelia asked as she had not seen him since he visited her in the bathroom. It wasn’t time for him to fly up to the north and with Fraser trying to harm him, she would like Killian to be in her sight. "Why are you two so quiet?" Amelia inquired, looking back and forth between Edith and Gina.
"Well, since you have been asleep in the bathroom a lot has happened. I am not sure what exactly occurred, but I heard yelling and the Blackwell guards running around. Killian instructed us to not leave this room and you are not to leave. We are supposed to tie you to the bed if you resist and try to leave."
"Of course, he would trap me here. It would be foolish for anyone of us to leave this room so sit down and eat with me. We need all our energy to prepare for what will soon come. I will get out of this wet dress after I have finished eating," Amelia said. She already felt herself becoming sick from being in the water for so long and now sitting in a wet dress.
Edith was reluctant to sit around and enjoy breakfast with Amelia when she could clearly hear the ruckus in the castle. Killian had started a fight and had them hiding away in this room to protect Amelia. She wanted anyone bold enough to try harming Amelia to come this way.
