Chapter 200: Chapter 200

"You know, a heads up about you leaving your own wedding would have been nice. Though I must say watching the guest from the Blackwell kingdom hurry to get off the north’s land in an hour was funny," Gina chuckled as she fixed Amelia’s hair. For the first day walking around as Queen, Gina wanted Amelia to look just like her title. "Did you enjoy yourself when you returned? The flowers are pretty."

Amelia looked at the flowers she placed in a vase with water to keep them alive longer. "They are. It was really nice of him to do this. Gina, am I mean?" She looked to the side to see Gina’s reaction.

"Did you have a fight with him already?" Gina asked, worried the marriage was off to a bad start.

"No. I ruined a moment between us," Amelia replied.

"I don’t think you are mean. You have a problem opening your heart and not being suspicious of the people around you. It wasn’t exactly easy for us to get close at first because you kept questioning if your father would pay me to spy on you. I didn’t mind it because I learned how much you have been hurt and did not want to be hurt again," Gina honestly answered. "You and the King seem quite close."

"We need to be closer. He is more carefree and trusting than I am. What would be a good gift to let him know that I appreciate him? I want to make up for last night. Any ideas? Both of you?" Amelia looked at Edith who sat in a chair.

"Well normally I just have sex," Edith said as it would cheer her up. "Judging from your frown, that was not the answer you were looking for. How certain are you that doing something he likes in bed won’t make up for it?"

"Sex is not the answer," Gina argued.

"Must you always expose how much of a virgin you are? Sex is always the answer and I am sure the Queen would have no issue using sex as an apology. You reek of his scent," Edith said, going back to looking around Killian’s room.

"I reek of Killian’s scent?" Amelia asked in disbelief.

"Yes. I smelled him on you more than usual when I walked into your bedroom. It must have been a fun wedding night. Since the two of you had sex already, I doubt it would be a good gift now but it depends on who took the lead. How about you be the one to take the lead?" Edith suggested.

"I would prefer if it is something more than sex to be more meaningful and show that I put a lot of thought into it," said Amelia.

"Why don’t you get him flowers as he did for you? It is not every day you see a man being given flowers so he might appreciate it," Gina said so Amelia wouldn’t use sex as a way to show Killian she cared for him.

"Then it would make me feel like I am just stealing a gesture he did. I’ve spent a lot of time with Killian but all I know is that he likes humans and he drinks frequently but he must already have tons of wine and alcohol here in the castle. I don’t know what else to give him. So far Edith is winning with sex," Amelia said, glancing at Edith who gave Gina a triumphant look.

"How about you ask the person who has been by his side for years? You will have to do it because I cannot stomach being around that insufferable man," Gina muttered, shaking her head to get rid of the memory of her encounters with him once Amelia left the wedding.

"I sense some sexual tension," Edith said to irritate Gina and it worked.

"Must something sexual always be on your mind? Your excuse cannot always be that you are a demon and it comes naturally to you," Gina said, glaring at Edith.

"Can we please focus on my predicament and worry about Gina’s built-up frustration for a man she actually likes later? I rather not go to Alastor because Killian has him preparing for my actual coronation here which Killian pushed back. He said the newlyweds should not have another busy day right after the wedding so the coronation should be tomorrow. I think he just wants to lay around so he pushed it back," Amelia said, knowing for a fact this was the reason.

"Well, the two of you should be out of the castle to enjoy your bliss as newlyweds. You were crowned Queen at your wedding so I don’t see the rush for a ceremony to happen right after. You need a day or two to rest and be with your husband."

"Maybe that is what I should do for Killian? The one other thing I know about him is how much he loves to get away from his duties as King and stick them on Alastor. The coronation which is honestly more like an announcement since I was already crowned Queen pushed back. I don’t have anything important today. Edith is there somewhere protected but out of sight from anyone that I can take Killian to until tomorrow morning?" Amelia asked, holding her breath as she anticipated hearing a yes.

"Of course there are. Everyone has someone or something they want to get away from so there are secret spots all over the mountain. I can take you to a place further up the mountain which has a little house. It is where I first wanted to live to be away from everyone but then I decided to live in a village. It is not exactly a castle," Edith gave a warning in advance to remind Amelia she wasn’t exactly rich enough to build a big house.

"I don’t mind what it is like as long as Killian and I will be alone. Now I need to find him before something comes up and one of us will become busy. Edith, I need you to check no one is around there before Killian and I think of leaving. Gina, please pack a bag for me and I give you permission to pack some of Killian’s clothes. I will have Cyrus take me to find where Killian is right. You’ve done well once more," Amelia complimented Gina’s work on her appearance then she walked to the door.

"Cyrus," she said the moment she opened the door but only her two other guards were present. "Where is Cyrus?" She asked and looked in the direction she was pointed to. Curiosity filled every fiber of Amelia as she wondered what was so important for Cyrus to leave her door.

Amelia closed the bedroom door behind her and began her search for where Cyrus had gone off to. She walked down the wide hallways and just as she was about to turn the corner, she heard a voice she never thought she would hear anytime soon.

"You wanted me to live a better life in the castle and now that I am, you are angry with me. I don’t know what you want Cyrus," Jahi said, smiling while Cyrus paced back and forth angrily. "I have come back so we will not be separated. All we have is each other and I took the job to be near you."

"Do not lie to me," Cyrus sneered, stopping to look at Jahi. "You took that job because you are still angry with the Blackwells. You are blinded by anger so much that you do not realize what you are getting yourself into. Amelia," Cyrus sighed, acknowledging her presence. Her scent filled his nose when the wind blew.

Jahi noticed how irritated Cyrus had become and at first, she thought he was displeased by Amelia eavesdropping on them until Amelia stepped out from behind the wall and her scent filled the air. Jahi picked up on her normal scent and the hint of roses she must have used in her water but there was something lingering on her. The unforgettable scent of Killian Bune.

Jahi rolled her eyes, finding it hard to not believe there was once something between Cyrus and Amelia. Why else would he get upset? Jahi gave Amelia a look over and hid her hands behind her back as she settled her urge to rip out Amelia’s throat. Not for her family taking her as a slave but to end this hold Amelia had over Cyrus.

Amelia had a hold on Cyrus so much that when Cyrus spotted Jahi in the castle again, he was angry instead of happy to see her. Jahi would never let go of Cyrus staying in the castle while she was sent away. So when an opportunity came up for her to get rid of Amelia, she took it and now here she was back in the castle.

"I didn’t mean to eavesdrop on your conversation. I was looking for you to help me find Killian. Why is Jahi back in the castle?" Amelia asked Cyrus, ignoring the smile Jahi wore.

"Agramon brought her back."
