The Throne Is Mine
Chapter 131

Chapter 131: Chapter 131

"I’m surprised no one has randomly popped up to get a good look at me and warn you about this marriage. Not even the man you spoke of," said Amelia.

It had been quite a long time since she and Killian spoke to his people at the gates. She had been preparing herself for people who had access inside the gates and expected the man Killian was warning her about would have shown up by now or someone who was under him. After an hour-long tour, no one had come to them. Amelia did not see anyone besides the guards and servants roaming the castle.

"They must know that I am here by now right? Gossip travels fast. Are they not coming to show that they have no interest in me as their queen? Back home, the men in court would have run to my father to complain about the decision he made. It must be because they know they can’t convince you to change your mind?"

Killian wasn’t bothered by what others were doing like Amelia was. Wherever the hell they were they could stay there because their presence meant he would be annoyed. However, he could tell she wanted to get the introductions over with. "They must know by now but don’t care to come yet. They will come on their own terms. Do not make them think you are excited to meet them," he warned her.

"I am not. I only want to see the people I should watch out for and assess the relationships in the castle. I want to see who is on whose side or who dislikes who. I would rather them show up now instead of randomly popping up when I least expect it. What are we supposed to do now?" Amelia looked to Killian.

She was not crowned queen yet so she could not go poking her nose around in their documents yet to know more about the north. She could not browse through court documents or do anything important yet.

Amelia was so eager to start ruling and know more about demons that she wouldn’t mind if the wedding would be tomorrow. She never thought deeply about what her wedding would look like so she wasn’t that excited to plan one and honestly wouldn’t care if someone else wanted to plan the whole thing and leave her out of it.

"Come. I have something that might interest you," Killian took her hand and led her in another direction.

Amelia silently followed behind Killian taking in the area of the castle they entered because they had not come here when he was giving her a tour. ’What could be this way?’ She wondered.

Amelia’s eyes widened when they entered an open area with a throne in the middle. Instead of the throne being in a room like back at home, it was in an exposed area seated on top of stairs to look down at the people who would be present.

"This is what you have desired more than anything right? I was saving it for last in case you needed to be cheered up. Go on to take a closer look at it," Killian released her hand to allow her to go up to the throne alone.

"There is only one throne so it belongs to you, the king. Do you want me to go sit in your seat?" Amelia replied, not feeling excited as she should be at this moment. It was nice for Killian to try and cheer her up but this throne did not belong to her. After they are married another throne would need to be added for the queen.

"I have never sat on the throne before. Don’t look so surprised," Killian stated after Amelia looked like she did not believe his words. "I never felt the need to sit on the throne. Quite frankly, I rarely attend all of the meetings here and let Alastor take my place. Sitting on a throne is something you dreamed of so you can have it."

"Another one can be made when we get married. My dreams in the past had me becoming queen without getting married so I never imagined someone sitting beside me but now that has all changed I don’t want to be sitting on a throne without my husband so I would like if another throne is made for me. You’re going to stop using Alastor so much and sit here during meetings. I’m surprised he has not tried killing you," Amelia muttered.

"He tried when we first met but after failing he gave up and pledged his loyalty to me. My system of not coming here during meetings has worked for many years. What is in it for me to come here with you? You only want me to join you since you think others would talk of how you are sitting on the throne when the king is not present," Killian said.

"That is not true. It is partially true," Amelia corrected herself since she was clearly lying. "I want us to be a proper king and queen sitting on the throne. A throne might seem useless to you but it is very important to me. It would make me very happy."

She smiled and walked backward away from him to take a look at the throne. It was much larger compared to the one her father sat on. There were horns like the other places in the castle but they did not bother her. Amelia was starting to like how intimidating the castle was.

"When will this list of things to make you happy end? It is only fair that I start my own list. You wish to keep your future husband happy right?" Killian asked as he followed Amelia up to the throne.

"As long as he behaves well," Amelia chuckled.

"Seems like you want a puppy."

"You are the one who said you become my weapon if I become your wife. That means I control you like a pet doesn’t it? I wonder if you will remain true to your words and anyone I tell you to attack, you will do it without complaints. I’ve seen how men change their promises when they finally get the woman they have been chasing," Amelia carefully touched the throne as she spoke.

"I don’t take back my words. Let’s not avoid my earlier words. Will you do the things on my list?" He touched her hand to bring her attention from the throne to him.

Amelia looked up at Killian as she was curious about what he could possibly want. "It would only be fair that I try to do some of the things that are on your list. What is it that you want Killian? At the moment, I have nothing but the things on the way here and they are of no value."

"I don’t want any of your belongings. What I want is for us to start bonding. Our union started because you intrigued me but I wouldn’t mind it being something more. Not love as yet," Killian clarified because he did not feel that for her yet. Love was an emotion a demon like him was not going to feel for just anyone.

Quite frankly, he doubted he would ever feel that way for someone, even Amelia no matter how much she amuses him. He was created to be a weapon who killed without remorse and though he tried to stay away from fights unless someone kept poking at him, it was hard to ignore the urge to shed blood sometimes.

"Good. I would have been a little scared if you loved me when you hardly know me. At least we are on the same page that we are attracted to each other. Hopefully, love can come at some point. Don’t beat around the bush, Killian. What is it that you want from me? What is something more than me intriguing you? It is not sex right?" Amelia stared at him with suspicion. She was going to stay true to not having sex with him before they were announced husband and wife.

Killian already knew not to push for them to have sex. Besides, he was not a horny dog to want to jump at the chance for them to be that intimate already. He would have tried last night if he was. "I believe the more romantic term for women is making love but that is not what I want. For how helpful I have been and since I have given you what you desired most, isn’t a kiss warranted?"

"Seriously? A kiss was all you wanted. And here I was fearing that it would be something bad. Kissing is alright," Amelia softly spoke. She enjoyed the last time they kissed though it had been short. She didn’t mind kissing him in moments like this because it would help calm her heart for the moment they would have to do more than kissing. "You do not need to put kissing on your list. You can do it whenever you want-"
