Chapter 239
"Your smile is freaking me out. I feel like you are smiling wider at the thought of killing Cedric and it’s more than how you smile when you look at me. Some women have husbands who like to go out hunting animals or maybe write a book. On the other hand, my husband gets his fun out of killing others. Not that I mind when I benefit from your hobby," Amelia said, looking at Cedric who had no idea he was being watched.
Killian’s love for killing benefitted her as she would not have to lift a finger or plot to kill her enemies. As long as he was not hurting anyone innocent, Killian could keep this hobby.
"If Cedric is afraid of a spider, will the demon create an illusion of a spider? Perhaps a giant one? How does this work?" Amelia asked. She wanted to see what Cedric would see when the demon started to bring his fears to life.
Cedric was always so smug and took joy in the fact her father had preferred Fraser over her. Amelia couldn’t wait to see Cedric lose his mind and then reach his end in the castle before knew it. Cedric should never get to rule behind Fraser.
"He could be surrounded by spiders or see a giant one as you said. Skies the limit. He will be the only person to see it. They won’t be any old spiders. They will look like the ones in the underworld. Those spiders are scarier than the ones you have here. Large eyes, hairy, giant legs, sharp teeth,-"
"Killian," Amelia squeezed his arm. "I already dislike the normal ones I see in this world. Please don’t paint a picture of what the ones in the underworld look like. Then Agramon would have a fear he could use against me."
Life was all over for Amelia if she were to come face to face with a spider from the underworld. She might faint if she came across one in this room.
"What is your fear?" Killian asked, curious about what truly scared her aside from losing the people dear to her and not being a good Queen. "Losing me and being Queen doesn’t count."
"I don’t know. It was always just those two things. It might be best if I don’t acknowledge something I fear while living with demons. Killian, can this mirror look into the underworld or any other world?" Amelia looked up at him, hoping he would say yes.
"It belongs to Lucifer so it can look into the underworld. I don’t know what other worlds you are thinking of."
"Then," Amelia touched the mirror once more and thought of her father. She pulled her finger away and nervously awaited what torture her father was experiencing in the underworld. She hoped he was getting everything he deserved for the things he did when he was alive.
The mirror changed from Cedric to King Richard sitting in a chair with his head hung low and his arms and legs bound by light. It didn’t look like he was in the underworld at the moment. It looked like someone had kidnapped the former king and tied him up.
