Chapter 262
"Also, I would like for Sadie to join," Amelia said, looking further down the table at the demoness.
Sadie’s ability to kill someone with her touch would be useful in the future. Amelia disregarded the fact that Sadie had tried to kill her when she attempted to shake hands and the fact she wanted to steal Killian away because he was able to fall in love. Once she could convince Sadie not to touch her, the demoness would be the perfect defense.
"No one else asked me to join them so I will accept," Sadie answered. She was curious why Amelia wanted her to join her instead of anyone else present. It gave her the opportunity to learn more about the queen of the north and how she had gotten Killain to fall in love.
"If this is going to be a get-together for all the women, then I will join Amelia," Lilith raised her hand. She didn’t want to miss out on seeing Amelia enter the Blackwell castle again and have the men shaking in fear once they realised they had married Amelia off to a man more powerful than they realise. Lilith wanted to be there to throw out good ideas for how Amelia should torture them.
"We are meant to be back in the underworld by then, Lilith. You know when we stay away for too long as those dammed souls get restless and I have to deal with capturing them before they are all eaten," said Lucifer.
"You are the God of the underworld. I am just your wife so I am free to stay out a little longer. It has been so long since I ventured out into the human world. I want to see more of what it has become-"
"I have mirrors you can use to explore the human world in the comfort of the underworld. Speaking of which, one of those mirrors has gone missing," Lucifer looked at Killian. They were expensive instruments he could not easily replace. He needed Killian to find the culprit.
"Oh! Lucifer, you look quite charming in that shirt. I can see why Lilith fell in love with you. You are a... handsome man," Amelia finished. She heard Killian snicker beside her so she pressed her shoe down onto his. She was only trying to distract Lucifer from knowing Killian had the mirror.
There was an awkward silence as Lucifer stared at Amelia.
"I am, aren’t I?" Lucifer agreed with Amelia. "Red does compliment me well. As handsome as I might be, don’t get so attached. I have a wife, but I would open my doors to you and Killian. See that Lilith? Amelia thinks it makes me look charming. And you say that I use red too much."
Lilith poured herself a glass of wine, drowning out the compliments Lucfier was now giving himself. Amelia had found the trick that she used on Lucifer when she wanted to distract him. To hide the fact that she was playing ball with Cerberus made some of the ruins in the underworld more ruined and that she was the one who stole the eye from the fates.
Amelia sighed in relief that Lucifer had moved on from talking about the mirror. ’Wait a minute. Why am I getting so worked up when Killian is sitting beside me without care? This is his problem,’ Amelia remembered.
