The Throne Is Mine

Chapter 92: Chapter 92

"Alastor, why are you stalking me?" Killian asked while he stared at the bag of candy he was expecting Amelia to come to him for. She had been so excited when she spotted them that he thought she would kill anyone who tried to take them away from her.

Alastor appeared in the shadows of the room Killian had picked for himself. "As always, I cannot hide from you, my king. I only wanted to know why you were still awake."

"Have you forgotten we are demons, Alastor? We enjoy staying up at night when all the fun happens or do you expect me to start acting like a human because I am marrying one?" Killian looked away from the candy to his friend.

"No. The day you start acting like a human I will return to the underworld. The hellhounds and Grimms would be more fun to be around at that time. They don’t even talk," Alastor added to show how much he would detest Killian acting like a human. "Sweets?" He looked at the bag before Killian. "I thought you disliked them?"

"I’m having a change in heart. They taste excellent when coming from a woman’s mouth," said Killian.

"Killian, have you already slept with the princess?" Alastor smiled. It would be wonderful for others to learn the princess had broken the ridiculous rule humans followed to not have sex before they are married.

"Alastor, I would rather you not smile when mentioning my sex life and no, I did not sleep with her. I simply went out to have fun with her. Killed a few people-"

"Without me?" Alastor exclaimed, feeling hurt for being left out in the fun. "I have been in this boring castle all day listening to the nonsense these humans talk about. Do you not feel bad for me?"

"No."

"Killian!" Alastor whined.

"I keep telling everyone that under that cold personality you are a big baby. I have not confined you to the castle, Alastor. Go out and kill anyone you think belongs in the underworld but be sure to have the Grimms take care of the mess. I don’t need the devil up my ass. Now get out," Killian closed his eyes. He had given up on Amelia coming to get her precious candy.

"I heard an interesting conversation in the throne room today. Her cousin and his grandfather would both like the princess to sacrifice herself to kill you once we reach the north. Is she takes part-"

"She won’t," Killian reassured Alastor. He had personally witnessed how hard she had been trying to make things work between them. If others knew she was the one to kill the king, they would not think she would accept killing him to get revenge.

"Not that she could kill you. There have been skilled demons who made an attempt but failed miserably. Still, we should keep an eye on this since you’ve mentioned a truce. If they break it, we attack no matter what. No stopping like last time because you care for that girl," said Alastor.

"I am aware of that, Alastor. I don’t allow anyone to get away with breaking my trust. Besides, you know I don’t plan on making this castle remain as it is in the future."

"Yes, I am aware of the fact you are planning to have one of your bloodlines sit on this throne in the future but we could have simply taken over it and have you rule two kingdoms," Alastor stated what he believed to be the best plan from the beginning. "Things change all because you want the princess. You could have just taken her and no one would be able to stop you. Not even me."

"That’s no fun," Killian replied. To entertain himself, he created a smokey image of Amelia. "It’s better to watch her willingly give herself to me."

Alastor still did not get what was so amazing about the princess. "In this short period, have you fallen in love with her?"

"Love? I have never felt that emotion. Not even toward a demon. I am simply fascinated by her right now but once we get married I suppose we will start to love her. I don’t see why you are judging me for wanting to marry a human when the devil himself has married one in the past and she continues to sit on the throne in the underworld," Killian reminded Alastor of something he seemed to forget.

"Well, the queen of the underworld has always had a heart like a demon even when she was a human. It’s not surprising the devil would have married her. She was able to turn herself into a demon. Your princess on the other hand is nothing like us. Killing her father is not enough to impress me when other humans do it daily," said Alastor.

"It’s a good thing she does not need to impress you," Killian fanned his hand to get rid of the smoky image of Amelia. "Didn’t I tell you to leave? Don’t tell me you plan to sleep here tonight. The floor is quite cold."

Alastor shifted his gaze from the bed Killian was lying on to the empty one beside it. "There are two beds."

"That one is for my wolves when they finally decide to enter the castle. Do you honestly want to sleep with them? Aside from me, they like to chew the flesh of anyone around. Demon or not but if you wish," Killian paused as Alastor vanished into thin air. "Works like a charm. Hurry up and come inside the two of you," Killian whispered.

It had been a while since he saw the two wolves and knew they had created problems around humans or they must have traveled back to the north without him.

"Fucking traitors," he muttered.

Killian stared at the bag of candy one last time before setting it on fire. He was not a nice person and since she had not come for what she wanted, he got rid of it. After witnessing her happy expression, he wanted to see her angry once again. Killian closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep anticipating her reaction tomorrow.

As the moon quietly disappeared from the sky and the sun took its place, there was a knock on Killian’s door around the time for breakfast.

Killian grinned as he sensed who the visitor was. She was many hours late to claim her candy. If she wanted more, they would have to sneak out in the middle of the night again.

"Well this is a pleasant surprise," Killian said the moment he opened the door. "To what do I owe this early morning visit when you have never sought me out before, princess? Did you miss me?"

Amelia felt the need to wipe the smile off Killian’s face. He knew exactly why she was here right now. "Where is it? Where is my candy you took off with?" She asked in a hushed tone. She would not have come to him for any other reason but for her new candy, which he wouldn’t be able to get anytime soon as she promised her grandmother she would not leave the castle.

Amelia planned to keep that promise starting now.

"Candy? I don’t recall having any candy. Where on earth would I even get candy?" Killian feigned ignorance to piss her off. "Why are you turning red princess?" He commented on her red cheeks which matched the red dress she wore.

"Killian," Amelia said in a low tone as she held back her anger. "Do not play around with my candy. Give it here," she held out her hand to receive it.

Killian should know not to come between her and her food. It was the one thing other than harming innocent people that would make them become enemies once again.

"You must be referring to the candy I set on fire last night. I have nothing to give you, princess. It’s a shame you came all this way just to find out its gone. You should have came last night as I told you to," said Killian.

Amelia stared at him for a moment before leaving without saying anything.

Cyrus appeared out of the sidelines and shook his head. It waa wonderful how he had to do nothing to break up the relationship the two had. If Killian wanted to get back on her good side, he needed to get back the candy right this moment. However, Cyrus hoped that he wouldn’t so the relationship could remain sour.

"I shouldn’t have been nice and offered him anything. Was I out of my mind?" Amelia muttered as she stormed down the halls. "If he wasn’t the king, I would give him such a good punch."

"Princess, incoming threat," Cyrus interrupted her rant to warn her of Cedric Adams heading his way. "All sorts of people are coming into the castle these days. You need to ne careful."

"I always am. He must feel like the Adams own this castle now. Good morning Cedric," Amelia forced a smile to greet the man she had always disliked.

"Good morning, princess. I request a chat before breakfast."
