"May I?" Anne asked, holding out her hand to the chains Killian held onto for Richard. "I won't let him slip out. I promise."
Anne would not allow Richard to pull the chains out of her grasp and get away from her. She would die before she allowed him to get away and hide in this castle though it would be fun to watch the demons hunt him down.
Killian handed Anne the chains so she could do whatever she wanted with her husband. The chains were only too heavy on Richard's end so he wouldn't be able to run away unless he wanted to be in a lot of pain. Richard would also have to be a fool to try running away since it would speed up the process of him being hunted by demons.
Amelia waited for her mother to take the chains and then drag Richard to the other side of the room to go to Killian's side.
