Chapter 227
"As Lucifer said, you have not given me time to prove myself. Give me a month to prove myself," Amelia suggested.
"A month is quite long," Agramon replied
"Not to demons," Amelia retorted, walking down the steps to where Killian stood. "Time doesn’t matter to demons. I could have picked a year but I have enough faith in myself to pick a month."
Agramon scowled but it was an opportunity to get rid of her without having to dirty his hands. "And what happens when you cannot prove yourself?"
"I will step down from Queen. I also believe that anyone who is not fit should sit on a throne," Amelia said, meaning every word that left her mouth. If she was not a good Queen to the people in the north, she had enough principles to get off the throne as the people needed someone who could properly lead the kingdom.
"That sounds fair. I expect that Agramon won’t meddle in Amelia’s attempts to prove herself. If there is evidence of you getting in her way, I shall have you dragged back down into the underworld, and banished from this world. I have better things to do than listen to you and Killian bicker. One month," Lucifer looked at Amelia. Her fuming husband beside her wasn’t pleased, but then again, when was Killian ever pleased?
Lucifer had a feeling that if Amelia had not done something worthy in Agramon’s eyes, Killian would not let her step down from Queen and choose to kill Agramon instead. Either way, the problem would be solved for Lucifer. "Can we continue or does someone else have something they want to interrupt with?" He asked the crowd. "No? Splendid. Calm down before you ruin her day," Lucifer whispered to Killian.
It was hard to ignore the concern written all over Amelia’s face.
’And they say the devil is a cruel man,’ Lucifer thought. He was always the peacemaker.
Killian glared at Agramon who he could just kill right now and get this over with. Leave it to Agramon to wait until now to stir up trouble.
"Killian!" Amelia called him before he could do something. He was silent but she had a feeling he was thinking about attacking Agramon. Even if they got rid of Agramon now, there was still a throne room full of demons who wanted to see her prove herself. She had a lot of convincing to do.
