Chapter 335
"Amelia, you look like there is something bothering you. Is it something I can help with?" Anne asked.
She sat with Amelia on a bench, taking a break after a long day of Amelia putting together a new court and going over more sins of the people in town. Anne sat with apples she peeled and cut for Amelia. When she was finished removing the skin, she placed the slices in Amelia’s hand for her to eat.
"I was just thinking about when Killian will arrive. He won’t have to leave after this. Should I have planned something special?" Amelia asked.
Killian would have done something special if it was her returning to him.
"I think he would just like to spend time with you. You did spend your night with your friends. You should clear your tower and be alone with him tonight. Have your food sent to your room and I will make sure you are not disturbed," Anne said as she placed another two slices in Amelia’s hands.
Amelia brought the apple slice that finally had a taste now that it was coming from her mother to her lips to savour the sweetness. "I will do that. There is something that I have been putting off telling you because we are not certain yet. Killian will be here soon for us to tell you together."
"I hope it is not bad news. The castle has never been this peaceful and I do not want it to end. Let it return to normal when I am gone. There are plenty more apples for you. You do not need to eat them so quickly. Here," Anne said, putting down the fresh apple in her hand to get a napkin for Amelia to wipe her mouth with.
"Since you were gone, apples never tasted the same for me. They are surprisingly sweet now. I have to gather some grapes for Killian. He really likes them. You did not tell me about your conversation with Leonard. Will the two of you be together now? Will I have a new father?" Amelia questioned.
"I honestly do not know. I still love him as I did long ago, but it might be hard for him to pursue me again. I don’t know if it is because my appearance is different or if he still sees me as a queen and does not want to court me. Whatever it is, I am fine with us being friends and not needing to avoid each other," Anne answered.
