The Throne Is Mine
Chapter 247

Chapter 247: Chapter 247

"Never again," Amelia muttered.

"I quite enjoyed it," Killian smiled as the morning was off to a good start.

’Of course, he did,’ Amelia thought, refusing to look at Killian who was practically reeking of happiness. If women truly had a pregnant glow then Killian had a sex glow and right now, it was burning Amelia’s eyes. ’Never again,’ she decided.

"That’s never going to happen again so early in the morning so don’t even think about it. Why are you always ready to be intimate every second of the day? This should not be normal even for a demon. What is wrong with you?" She eyed him head to toe.

Killian stopped to lift up her hand he was holding onto. "This woman right here is the problem. Blame yourself," he said.

Amelia frowned. "Sweet talk isn’t going to work on me today. You almost made us late for breakfast. I’m going to cover my ears the next time you try convincing me to soak with you."

"You are angry despite the fact you enjoyed it. Who was begging me for more again-"

"Hush," Amelia jumped to cover his mouth as Lucifer was walking toward them.

"Ah yes, the morning talk about sex. It never misses my ears. I should have popped in to see what sex between you two looks like. It would serve as payback for Killian interrupting Lilith and I. Walk with me," Lucifer told the two.

"I would rather you not pop into our room when that is happening and please do not have sex on our thrones in the future. I wouldn’t do it to your throne," Amelia said.

"Why not?" Lucifer inquired, offended by it. "I have a throne with a lot of space. I am not a prude like you who does not want to share her throne. You’re welcome to do your business on it anytime."

Amelia folded her lips to hold back what she wished to say. Lucifer had the ability to make Killian seem normal. She tightened her hold on Killian’s hand as she thought about how lucky she was.

Killian wondered what was going through her mind at the moment to go from thinking there was something wrong with him to staring at Lucifer as if she was trying to figure out what was wrong with the devil. There were a whole lot of things wrong with Lucifer. She’ll need a few hundred years to write out a list of things that were wrong with Lucifer.

"What is with the two of you all of a sudden displaying your affection? Do you want to make everyone else jealous?" Lucifer asked, trying to ignore the two of them having to walk holding hands for some reason.

Amelia looked down at her and Killian holding hands. ’When did we start holding hands? I don’t think we were when we left our room.’

It happened so naturally that she could not remember when it happened. Killian showed him holding her hand and she had not thought much about it.

"Did Lilith kick you out of your bedroom again?" Killian asked, knowing this was why Lucifer was talking about jealousy. Lilith would tell him to leave her alone and then Lucifer would start pointing out every single thing other couples did and mentioned jealousy. "When will she come to her senses to kick you out of her life altogether?"

’Killian!’ Amelia internally screamed. She knew the two were close, but how could Killian just say that?

Amelia felt the air suddenly become hot and looked at Lucifer. She narrowed her eyes at his skin seemingly peeling.

Killian roughly smacked Lucifer’s back to make him cool down. "Don’t set my castle on fire, you bastard."

’Are you crazy?’ Amelia looked at her husband who had to be losing his mind. Does he want to give her a heart attack? She was not used to the idea of someone bullying the devil. The devil! Not just anyone, but the devil himself.

"Killian," Amelia leaned close to him. "Don’t you think you should stop being so rough?"

"Rough? I am being gentle with him," Killian replied, keeping an eye on Lucifer who was going to melt away his skin if he didn’t control himself. The morning was going quite well for Killian and the last thing he needed was to scar Amelia with the image of Lucifer’s human appearance burning away.

"I hope that I am never in the path of receiving this gentleness you speak of. Are you alright, Lucifer?" Amelia stepped forward to check, but Killian pulled her back.

"His skin is burning up. Touch him and you’ll lose your hand-"

"Okay. I’m cool again," Lucifer said, tapping his arm to see if the skin would fall off. "These human bodies are so weak to the fire. I almost got rid of this one too fast. What were we talking about again? Jealousy?" Lucifer continued to walk toward the dining hall.

Amelia stood confused about what just happened. "I don’t understand any of you. You’re all strange," she concluded.

"You will understand us better one day. Think of how hard it is to understand you. If not for studying your kind, I might not have been able to understand your emotions or needs properly. Your kind is odd," said Killian.

"Lucifer almost burnt away his flesh, but my kind is odd? I think you have it mixed up on who is odd. Come," Amelia pulled his hand so they could catch up to Lucifer. "I want to get to the hall before Lucifer-oh!"

Killian brought Amelia closer to his body and looked at the demon who appeared before them. "Agramon, don’t be an ass so early in the morning."

"I could say the same to you, Killian. A Queen running around like a child. How wonderful," Agramon sarcastically said, looking down at Amelia in Killian’s hold. "Have you started your plans on how you would prove yourself, princess?"

"Queen," Killian sneered as he corrected Agramon.

"There’s no need for the two of you to be arguing so early in the morning. Agramon, there is something I want to ask your opinion on. I am thinking of creating a court here. Would you like to be a part of it?" Amelia asked, paying attention to the surprise written all over Agramon’s face before going back to his normal bored look.

"Throwing me a bone to get me on your good side? That won’t work for me. You still need to do something grand to prove yourself. I have a feeling someone here does not want me to join the court," Agramon shifted his gaze to Killian. "I will accept for now to keep an eye on whatever it is you are planning to piss off the brute beside you."

"I am not doing this to make you like me. Regardless of the fact you want me dead, I cannot overlook that you are a powerful demon like Killian-"

"Ha," Killian scoffed.

"-And you are someone close to the devil. You would be useful in the court, taking care of some matters so Killian and I would not need to. You speak of me needing to prove myself, but why should anyone consider you for King? Lucifer presented you with the opportunity to state why you should lead instead of Killian and there was nothing said to pick you over my husband. We should work together instead of fighting," Amelia proposed.

"Answer me honestly. You’ve desired the throne all of your life. If someone came and told you that instead of becoming Queen, join the court. Would you?" Agramon asked, awaiting an honest answer.

"I would not," Amelia answered from the heart since Agramon would pick up on a lie. "I would like to become Queen. I will defend my position as Queen and never give it up to anyone not worthy of it. In other words, you will not have the throne here in the north so I am being generous with giving you a seat in the court I am putting together."

"Hmm," Agramon smiled as he found her to be bold. He didn’t know if she was naturally this bold or because Killian was standing right behind her, she was being so confident. It annoyed him that he could not feel any fear coming from her as she stood before him. A simple human like her should fear him.

"You answered yes only to piss off Killian so I will give you some time to think and come back to me with an honest answer. I know what it feels like to badly desire sitting on the throne and I don’t see that desire in you, Agramon."

"You want something else and instead of beating around the bush, you should say it so I don’t have to be annoyed with you and Killian constantly fighting each other. I will be waiting for you when you are ready to talk," Amelia said as she walked around Agramon, pulling Killian so he could not stop and get into a fight.
