The Throne Is Mine
Chapter 175

Amelia was awakened early in the morning by Gina who came with Edith to start prepping with the traditions from the Blackwell kingdom. Then they all needed to travel down to the border where the wedding would take place and right after, she would immediately be crowned queen of the north.

"You don’t look happy, princess. I have not witnessed many weddings but shouldn’t the bride be happy? Not that I do not enjoy your sullen mood more," said Edith. She preferred seeing others sad instead of too happy. "Do you think there might be a fight from both sides?" She smiled.

"Edith, I feel you want a fight to happen so you can take part. I will task you with the job of preventing fights. I am happy but my nerves are getting the best of me. I am close to getting what I always wanted. There’s a lot for me to think about aside from the wedding," Amelia replied.

"Most brides feel more nervous than happy leading up to the wedding so you are fine. Once you put on your dress, get all dolled up and finally marry Killian, your nerves will fade away. I have the most experience dealing with weddings to know this. Instead of being nervous, you should be happy to see your grandmother soon," Gina said to take Amelia’s mind away from the wedding ceremony.

"I am looking forward to seeing her today. We’ve been apart for too long. I hope she has arrived first so we can chat. Do you see her carriage?" Amelia asked, looking out the window to try spotting her grandmother’s carriage amongst the many others as they finally arrived at the border.

Amelia didn’t wait for someone to open her carriage door for her and did it herself as she was in a hurry to find her grandmother.

"What is her grandmother like? I have only heard stories of her tyrant father," Edith looked to Gina.

"Sometimes you will forget that lady Margaret is royalty. She is different from the rest of Amelia’s family. More fun to be around but make no mistake. She is always ready to kill anyone who tries to harm Amelia. You will take a liking to her. She birthed king Richard but she is nothing like her son. Amelia, wait for us!" Gina called behind Amelia.

"The two of you are moving too slowly," Amelia answered.

"Princess," Cyrus called to her. He was riding behind her carriage on a horse and quickly came to her side when she left the carriage in a hurry. "There is still a lot of danger around."

"Cyrus, can you find my grandmother for me?"

Cyrus looked far behind Amelia at someone watching them and said, "There is no need as she has already found you."

Amelia turned in the direction Cyrus was fixated on, and just as he said, her grandmother watched them in the distance. Of course, her grandmother would be one of the first people here. Amelia grabbed as much of her dress as she could and ran to where Margaret awaited her.

"Amelia! Princesses do not just run around," Gina said as she ran behind Amelia. "Wait-Ah! What are you doing, Edith?" She questioned, looking at her Edith had a tight grip on her shoulder.

"Stopping you from stopping the princess running to her grandmother. It is only running. You are acting like you have taken off her dress and run around naked. You need to relax," Edith said, releasing Gina’s shoulder right after.

"It is not only running. Amelia gets judged a lot by her relatives and people of the Blackmail kingdom-"

"The princess must also be aware of all the eyes on her and still chose to run to her grandmother. She just admitted to us that she is nervous. Let her run to her grandmother who will comfort her instead of reminding her of silly rules. Your kind is just stupid," Edith spoke out loud.

Gina didn’t like Edith’s comment but chose not to respond to it right now as it would ruin Amelia’s day. So far, she didn’t know what to make of Edith, who loves to fight and make loud remarks about regular people who were not demons. Edith kept judging their rules and tradition when Amelia was open to embracing the traditions demons had. It wasn’t fair and she was slowly reaching her end with the comments from Edith.

Meanwhile, Amelia reached Margaret and right away hugged her as tightly as she could.

"I have missed you so much, grandmother. This is way worse when than in the past when you weren’t in the Blackwell castle much. I am starting to consider secretly taking you away to the north with me," Amelia said, her voice sounding muffled against Margaret’s clothes but Margaret understood every word.

Margaret patted Amelia’s back, happy to have her precious granddaughter in her arms again. "I have missed you too, child. You have left me alone in that castle with people I hate seeing. I hope you have had a better time than me. You mustn’t cry now, Amelia. It is your wedding day. Take a stand back so that I can get a good look at you."

Amelia wiped her tears before standing back so Margaret could see that she was fine and no one had hurt her while she was in the north. "I am fine, grandmother. Killian has been keeping me safe from the moment I arrived."

"That is good to hear. I know I have helped push you into this union Amelia and it might be late for me to be asking this but are you fine with this marriage?" Margaret asked.

Amelia agreed that it was too late to be asking now but she replied, "I am."
