Chapter 57: Unhappy Princess
"Killian!"
"Hello fair lady." Killian greeted leaning against the door frame, his lips pulling into a smile as he stared down at me. He was dressed impeccably as usual, his tunic pressed to perfection as always and his brown hair was styled neatly atop his head, not a single hair out of place.
I frowned as I took in his appearance, "But how?" I asked him still perplexed by the fact that he had been the one to save me.
Killian cast Bjorn a side way glance and as if getting the hint Bjorn cleared his throat and stood up. Turning to look at me, he offered me a small smile, "I guess I will leave you two alone to talk." He said and I nodded my head at him.
Bjorn looked like he was about to say something else but it seems he decided against it, so instead he reached for my good arm and patted it softly. After that, he turned to look at Amelia and together they left the room leaving me alone with Killian who strolled into my room, almost as if he owned it, then he went to settle himself on a chair facing me.
"I take it you are surprised to see me." Killian said as he crossed his legs while leaning back in his seat with an arrogance he could muster.
I snorted in response, "Well that is one way to put it." I told him before I tilted my head at him, "How did you find me?"
Killian heaved out a sigh before he responded, "I decided I had overstayed my welcome at Hawthorne’s manor, so after you left. I decided to leave to, so imagine my surprise when I found your carriage stuck in the middle of the road, with no one in sight. No guards, no servants, no one!" Killian said, his gaze darkening as he recalled the memory, "My men found a camp site somewhere and the logo of one of those bastards rebel and I immediately knew something had happened to you, so we looked for you all over. I found pieces of your clothing somewhere in the woods and over the edge of the cliff. My men and I searched the whole forest before we found you somewhere around dawn. Laying lifeless in the mud and for a minute I feared for the worst."
Oh! Was all I could think of as I stared at Killian who still looked furious and that was the first time I would be seeing such an emotion from him!
