The Throne Is Mine
Chapter 319

Chapter 319: Chapter 319

"The queen is ready to speak with you."

Fraser didn’t react at first, thinking the demon was playing a trick on him, but when he heard the key unlocking the cell door, he walked to the opened door to leave. He was impatient waiting for some news about his mother and Amelia. He could not spend another second in the disgusting cell surrounded by people who were beneath him.

It was about time Amelia properly addressed him so he knew what was going to happen to him and what had happened to his mother. He hated to think that his mother abandoned him and took the chance to leave without him. They were supposed to stick together. His mother was the only person he had left to fight for him.

"I will take you to where she waits for you. Do not run," the demon advised Fraser. He hoped they would get the chance to taste the soul of a king even though it smelled rotten. If this king were to go down into the underworld, there was a good chance he could be tortured for an eternity.

Humans with titles such as queen, king, or just called themselves the leader of many people were always tortured more than others. Lucifer liked them since it was thanks to the corrupted royals that more souls came into the underworld and more demons were made.

Fraser looked around at the people who had to be jealous of him leaving the dungeon while they remained to suffer here. "You should have listened to me and I would have fought hard for you to be freed now. You should spend your days regretting not listening to your king. Waste away here," Fraser told the trapped people.

The demon closed the cell, enjoying the blood lust that filled the room because of the foolish king’s words. He wanted nothing more than to lock the king with the others when the queen was finished. Have the people give him a good beating until he was on the verge of death.

Fraser smiled in the faces of the people who glared at him and then turned around to follow the small weird-looking demon. "Where is my cousin waiting for me?" He asked.

The demon did not respond since Fraser had no power to ask a question and expect an answer.

Fraser gritted his teeth, angered by how the demon ignored him. This was his castle now and Amelia bought her filthy pests into it. ’If we are going to the throne room, I should make a run for the temple,’ he thought.

It was the safest place away from the creatures because the Gods would protect him if he prayed and asked for help. They could not turn their backs on a king. There had to be a God angered by demons in this world and would lend a hand to Fraser to get rid of Amelia. All he needed to do was make it to the temple in one piece.

Fraser slowed down his pace to put some distance between himself and the demon in front of him. With a little space between them for him to get a head start, he would outrun the demon.

"Before we came out of the underworld we were ordered to protect the queen at all cost or existence will be removed from this world and the underworld. It was hidden from the queen that we were to kill anyone who did not listen or sought to harm her. That means you," the demon spoke, knowing the former king was planning to run.

He was not watching Fraser, but he had been paying attention to Fraser’s heart which sounded louder now that they were out of the dungeon. The king was slowly getting far out of his reach if he were to turn around and try grabbing him.

"If you run, we hunt, and eat you while you are still alive."

Fraser gulped, fearing the risk of him not making it to the temple in time. It was a risk he would have to take so he could be safe and if Amelia wanted to speak with him, she would have to come inside the temple without her demons to help her.

"Where are we going?" Fraser asked, puzzled by the direction the demon was leading him to. It was the opposite of where the throne room was and it messed with his plans to go to the temple. He would have to run for a long time to reach the temple from where they were heading now. "Shit," he muttered, clenching his fists as he was forced to come up with a new plan.

If he could get Amelia to speak with her alone, he could overpower her and find something to pretend to harm her with as his captive so he could walk out of this castle. The only demon Fraser feared right now was Killian and lucky for him, Killian was not here.

Fraser was more puzzled when the demon stopped in front of a room meant for the castle’s guests. A room he had used in the past when he spent the night in the castle at his uncle’s request.

"She’s trying to be funny," Fraser scoffed.

Amelia’s head was filled with power at the moment so she was having fun with him. If not for the power that Killian gave her, Amelia would never be this bold.

Fraser did not wait for the demon to knock and took it upon himself to enter the room. He was ready to have a conversation with his dear cousin.

"That was fast," Amelia said, looking out the window at the sun high in the sky. It wouldn’t be long before Killian would make his way back to this kingdom to see her. "How was your time in the dungeon, Fraser? I have not visited the dungeon in a long time to remember what it is like so I hope you have many tales to tell me."

Before responding to Amelia, Fraser looked around the room to see who she brought to protect her. There was no one in the room beside him and Amelia. "It doesn’t suit you to act all high and mighty when this power comes from your husband. I remember a time when you did not want your rise to be a queen because of the man you married. Now look at you."

Amelia smiled, hardly angered by his words. "Yes, look at me. Here I sit comfortably while you stand worrying about what I shall do to you."
