~Leo~
Morning came, and it was time to head to the King's hall for the hearing. As much as I looked forward to it, I wasn't enthusiastic about discussing Kyle and Linda's issue.
I knew it would be a mess, and Kyle was too stupid to see that it wouldn't favour him either way.
The truth was that the property and the money belonged to Linda, and there was no argument he would put forward to help him win.
"Can we branch a convenience store in town so I can get hair dye?" Amelia said, stepping out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe and her hair tied in a towel.
I also noticed that she had worn her contacts and realised she had an issue with shocking people with her stunning features. "We are back to this, aren't we?" I asked with a sigh, and she smiled at me.
"First impressions matter, Leo, and I did not want to shock anyone today," she said, pouting her lips, and I sighed.
"You won't shock anyone, Moonlight. You need to embrace your features and accept that you are beautiful in a unique way," I teased, and she giggled and returned to the bathroom. I hoped she went to take off the contacts.
Not wanting Amelia to sit in the crowd, I immediately called Tamia. She answered on the first ring. From the way she sounded, I knew they were already on their way. They lived farther from the King's hall, so it was understandable that they would be on their way.
"Leo?" she said, and I greeted her.
"Is Kyle with you?" She asked me, and I grumbled.
"No, but I know he is in town somewhere," I replied, and she laughed.
"I hope he does the right things today. Sylvester will not allow the case to go any further, and Theo is gearing up to take the things by force," She warned. I already knew my verdict on the matter. I just hoped it would be satisfactory to all parties involved.
"I was hoping Amelia could sit with Avery and Linda. I do not want her sitting in the crowd. They can get acquainted that way," I said, and she giggled.
"Are you sure nothing is going on between you two because you seem overprotective of Amelia to be a charity case," she pointed, and I covered my eyes with my palm and sighed.
"Tamia..." I said, and she giggled.
"I see. I hope you uncomplicate things. Sure, she can sit with them. I will make arrangements for it before I get there," She said, and I was glad.
I did not want people staring at Amelia in the crowd at the guest section.
It made me smile. I planned to search for where she kept them and make them disappear. She must embrace
