“All I desire is a husband who can sit pretty on the throne beside me and keep his mouth shut while I rule. You don’t fit the criteria, Killian. I am not looking for a warrior.” “When the men at court point their swords at your neck princess, you’ll need a warrior by your side instead of a puppet. You won’t be able to get rid of me so easily Amelia. Not when I have made up my mind to have you.” “I am not something for you to simply have Killian.” “Aren’t you?

Sybil didn't see why the snake she killed should go to waste if Amelia wasn't going to drink the potion.
Amelia felt more nervous to see that Sybil had forgotten she wouldn't need to drink it. "On second thought, I prefer Killian putting me to sleep. For the last few nights, I've been able to sleep on my own. So," she said, pushing the spoon away.
