Chapter 245
This castle belonged to Margaret far before it ever belonged to Fraser. Many men and even her husband had once tried to get her out of it. Margaret would never allow a boy like Fraser to chase her out of it with his mother. Margaret walked out of the castle on her own terms. She could never be forced out of it. It was humorous for her to see how certain they were that they had gotten rid of her.
Margaret had created connections all throughout the castle for years. The very guards that Fraser commanded listened to her because of her secret allies. Fraser had much to learn before going up against her.
"These fools," Margaret shook her head. "They will never learn."
"There was a darkness looming around Cedric Adams," said Luke, Margaret’s guard. "Something has attached itself to him."
Luke shared a lineage to the priest who hunted demons in the past and was blessed by a God to be able to see what no others could. He could not make out much of what was hidden, but he could see traces of a demon.
"Oh," Margaret smiled, intrigued by this. "Could you make out what it was? Is it one aiding him or feeding on him?"
"Seeing that he had a headache, it is feeding on him. It doesn’t seem like the normal ones. Maybe someone sent it directly to him. Wouldn’t it have been better for it to feed on the new King?" Luke asked.
"Why would anyone want to feed on Fraser to be met with a horrid taste? Besides, if you get rid of Cedric, Fraser loses a big ally. I wonder if it is his doing," Margaret said, referring to Killian.
Luke looked over his shoulder to a corner without light. "He left behind a small group of demons. He intends to return to this castle. It cannot be for something good. Do you think Amelia is safe with him? Do you trust him?"
