Chapter 298
"It’s the princess."
"She walks with them."
"She has doomed us all."
Amelia slowed down as the chatter from the townspeople filled her ears. She was reminded of the time she announced she would be marrying Killian. The harsh words she received were because she was marrying the man who killed many of their sons. They forgot then and now that she had married Killian to save the kingdom.
If she had not, the town would have smelled of death since the only reason demons were not killing everyone in sight was because Killian wished to please her.
Amelia stopped to address the townspeople. Anything said due to their fear would not hurt her. If she had been unaware of demons and there were suddenly creatures flying around the sky, she would be afraid and speak of the royals since the castle was so silent.
"You will all be fine. I will make sure nothing happens to any of you who have never done something to hurt this kingdom," Amelia spoke loudly for the large crowd to hear. "Today I will make sure that anyone who has terrorised this kingdom for years, abused their power, and taken advantage of those below them will be properly dealt with today. Even if they are a royal," Amelia said.
"Demons fill the sky. They came from the direction of the north. You have married their king and laid with him. You walk with demons-"
"And I love one," Amelia cut in, not ashamed to admit that she loved a demon. "I knew about them a little before my marriage to Killian. A marriage that I took part in to save all of you as I am doing now. You might not see how yet, but I wish to protect you and rid the evil from this land. It is not only the demons you must be afraid of. There are people who walk amongst you who have done terrible deeds."
