Chapter 226
"Do not keep us waiting, Agramon. Tell us what have you done to make demons feared? To not make a mockery of us? I’m afraid word of what you accomplished never reached my ears, but I can reward you now if you speak up," Lucifer said, knowing Agramon had nothing to claim he did. All Agramonn did was continuously complain to him about Killian and wanting to be King. Agramon had plenty of opportunities to try killing Killian and take the throne.
"I’ve fed on the living-"
"I’ve heard of many demons recklessly feeding on the souls of the living. That is nothing special to me. You spent so many years in this world and yet, your name has not reached far past the north. For a demon of high ranking, it’s a little disappointing, don’t you think? Instead of always complaining, I think it would have been better for you to work with Killian instead of inciting a feud," said Lucifer.
"With all due respect, you favor Killian. He was easily handed the north and you continue to back him. You let him easily take a human. A woman who adds nothing to the north," Agramon glanced at Amelia. She was useless and the mere fact she was a cocky Blackwell infuriated him. The devil should allow the demons here to go on a feeding frenzy and consume her soul.
"I have no place to be against Killian marrying a human when I have done so myself. I have many titles and claim to be many things but I will not be called a hypocrite. Besides, we have not given Amelia to prove her worth. She is of royalty after all. She might surprise all of us," Lucifer said, as being chosen by Gods meant she would do something special to surprise even him. "Lilith surprised all of you, did she not?"
Agramon could not argue with that but Amelia was not Lilith. He still didn’t like Lilith as she was at one point a human but could acknowledge her ruthless nature now. Amelia could not even lift a weapon to protect herself. "Your Highness, Killian’s wife is nothing like the Queen of the underworld. Lilith had an extraordinary life before she died unlike the princess here who sat in a castle and did nothing. A castle that took our kind and made them slaves. Myself and a few demons want the princess-"
"She is your Queen as long as you reside in the north. If you don’t like it, leave," Killian cut in, walking down the steps to get Agramon.
"Gentlemen," Lucifer stuck out his arm to block Killian from going to Agramon. "We mustn’t ruin the Queen’s big day with the two of you fighting. We should save this for later when she goes to sleep."
"Lucifer," Lilith warned.
