"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.
