The Throne Is Mine
Chapter 125

Chapter 125: Chapter 125

The day quickly went by much to Amelia’s dismay. It was now time for her to leave everything she knew behind and start a new life in the north. She had said all of her goodbyes and wrote letters to those she would not have time to meet with. As her grandmother said, goodbyes were not forever so she would not spend the rest of her life away from the Blackwell castle.

With Gina traveling to the north, Amelia had a conversation with Margaret to be in charge of the homes she had bought.

"Are you second-guessing it now that the moment has come? I would let you stay and not attack the castle if that is what you desire," Killian said, truly meaning every word of it.

"Now you say that at the very last minute when everything is packed up. I’ve already prepared myself to leave so there is no point in turning back now. Besides, I want to sit on a throne more than anything and there are too many factors here stopping me from ruling over the Blackwell kingdom. I will use the north to prove the people here wrong. I want to be a good queen. Still, let’s leave no before my heart has a conflict with what my mind is thinking," said Amelia.

"Either that or the crowd by the gate will destroy the carriage and hide you away from me. Who was the bright person to announce the day that we are departing-"

"Goodbye, cousin!" Fraser interrupted Killian.

"There is your answer," Amelia whispered to Killian. She wholeheartedly enjoyed the annoyed expression he wore and even though she couldn’t read minds. Amelia had a feeling Killian was deeply regretting not killing Fraser and even worse, letting him become king. ’When Fraser being king backfires I hope Killian remembers that it is all his fault,’ she thought.

"Goodbye to you too, Cousin," Amelia gave a short goodbye. She had nothing much to say to Fraser as she did with everyone else since the two of them were not that close.

As Loki walked by to get in the carriage she would be using, Amelia followed behind the big wolf to avoid having to speak with Fraser some more. Before she could enter the carriage, Amelia spotted Cyrus and Jahi standing by two horses given to them by Killian to travel back to the north. She contemplated going over to have a quick chat before the journey would start but decided against it since Jahi did not like her. There was no need to start off the trip with attitudes.

Amelia entered the carriage right behind Loki and froze when she saw the white wolf spread across one seat. She started to trust Loki who just liked to laze around and eat but Amelia did not know what to make of the white wolf as yet. She kept her distance from Asura by sitting on the opposite side with Loki.

"He talks too fucking much," Killian cursed under his breath as he entered the carriage. Fraser had plenty to say now unlike when he was meant to stay and talk at the truce meeting. "I am going to kill him sooner than I intended to. No offense."

Amelia shrugged. "Tell that to his mother, not me. There’s been plenty of times I would have taken out my cousin if I could have but that’s just how a family is. I’ve dealt with Fraser annoying me for years so one day I want to strangle him and then other days I just pity his stupidity. You’ll get used to it soon since he will be your family," she added to tease Killian."

"It’ll be a cold day in the underworld before I consider him to be my family. I’d love to bring him to the north and throw him into the hole which leads to the underworld. What a sight it would be to watch the hellhounds tear him apart and the grimms take his soul," Killian chuckled as he petted Asura.

Amelia didn’t know how to take his entertainment in wanting to toss someone into the underworld. She hoped she would never see this hole Killian was speaking of. She was grateful she had Loki on her side instead of Asura who was just as entertained as Killian by the mention of the underworld.

Amelia cautiously petted Loki’s head but quickly retreated her hand when he turned to look at her. A moment of silence passed between the two before Loki closed his eyes and rested his head against the cushion on the seat. Amelia took it as if he did not want to be touched right now and would respect his wishes so she could keep her fingers.

As long as she paid attention to his behavior, she would not have to worry about losing a finger or hand.

"Loki, do not be rude. I know you get jealous when I pet Asura and now that you have someone who will pet you, you are being rude to them. Where do you get this temper from?" Killian asked.

"I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets it from his former master or maybe his mother. Do they have mothers?" Amelia asked since she didn’t know how the whole hellhound thing worked.

"They do but their mothers are not like what you would expect."

Amelia begged to differ. "Oh, I think they are quite like what I am imagining. I have not forgotten they are from the underworld so their mother wouldn’t be too nice. Are mothers the type to abandon their young right after they were born?"

"They are more of the run before I get hungry and eat you. Hellhounds will tear apart anything they find, even their young depending on the mood. It is best for the pups to learn how to walk quickly and leave with their siblings who will be their pack. I found Asura and Loki alone when they were young so most likely their siblings must have died," Killian explained.

"Do not hold such a sad expression for the two of them. They have killed many creatures and humans in their lifetime. Asura will one day leave me and have some pups. That one over there might try to kill me," Killian pointed at Loki. "It took a while for you to get used to having a wolf around so I suppose seeing their real form might give you a heart attack."

Amelia glanced at Loki who was already scary as a wolf. The carriage jolted forward as the journey to the north started. This scared Amelia causing a jab in her chest and her breathing to quicken as she thought the wolf had suddenly done something. Amelia placed her hand on her chest to calm her heart and then asked, "What do they look like?"

"I’d rather not scare you and let you see firsthand when we enter the north. They do not always appear as wolves in the north. I am sure you will be fine," Killian reassured her but his sly smile made Amelia believe otherwise.

"It is alright with me if they want to remain as wolves. Hopefully, whenever they look different I am not around," Amelia muttered.

As the carriage passed the castle gates, Amelia looked out the window to wave goodbye at the people who had gathered. Some were waving goodbye, crying for her to stay, and some looked as if they were yelling insults at the northerners. She felt bad Killian and all the other northerners were receiving this treatment as they were leaving.

"I’m sorry. Not everyone has warmed up to this yet," Amelia apologized.

"Why are you apologizing on their behalf? I would find it weird if they were to be comfortable with all of this so soon," Killian replied, taking no offense to what some people in the crowd were shouting. If he were to stop the carriage and step out now, they would all get quiet and not say anything to his face. He rarely took those types of people seriously.

"I should prepare myself for this type of treatment when we reach the north. Is that the reason why you planned to fly me to the north?" Amelia now remembered what he told her. "If you are trying to make me avoid any stares or judgment your people will have, you don’t have to do that. It is not fair for you to go through this but not me."

"Sounds like you are starting to love me."

Amelia rolled her eyes at his delusion. "Of course not. It just means that I have a heart. I want things to be fair between us. Make a mental note of that for the future. You don’t have to shield me every day from what your people will have to say about me. I can handle it and I will use it as motivation to show why I am fit to be their queen."

"With that little weapon in your hair I am sure you can handle them yourself," Killian called out the weapon Amelia had placed in her hair. He found it amusing how she looked at him now like it was supposed to be a secret.
