“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?

Amelia caught on to what Killian was trying to say. If they allowed these people to get away there was a strong possibility of them going back to be involved in the slave trade she was trying so hard to make disappear. "Do whatever you want as long as innocent people who had no part in it are not hurt. You will have a lot of men from court trying to bribe you to not hurt their friends," she said.
