Before they reached the dining hall for dinner, Amelia felt Killian's arm she was holding onto tense up.
"We have a guest," Killian informed her right before they turned to enter the room.
Amelia was curious about who was the first person making the first move to meet her. When they entered the room, she was confused by a man sitting at the end of the table opposite where Killian would sit. It wasn't where he sat but his appearance that shocked her.
When their eyes met, the stranger smiled at her like he was happy to see her. His cheerful expression reminded her of a puppy. Like many others, he didn't hide his short white hair and striking red eyes.
She would be relieved to see him if she were not surrounded by demons and Killian didn't look the slightest bit happy with the stranger's presence. Amelia always knew never to judge a book by its cover and she did this when it came to people. Now she was in the north, Amelia wasn't taking what she saw as the truth.
