Chapter 320
"I don’t care too much about my marriage stemming from trying to end a war. It has ended wonderfully with me having a man I love and now I own two thrones."
"Honestly, I should be celebrating right now. I should have brought something to drink. Are you going to stand there glaring at me forever or sit? The floor would do. I’m sure you are used to it because of your stay in the dungeon," Amelia said, looking out the window at the sky.
It was still an odd sight to witness a demon passing by once in a while, but the view from the castle looking down on the town and the open fields was still enjoyable.
"You brought demons to this kingdom. You were raised in the temple. We pray to Gods-"
"If I had not stepped in and asked to be the one leading demons taking over this castle, this kingdom would be in ruins right now. I am sure before our marriage, Killian had plans for us since we took his people off the mountain and made them slaves. Well, I should say my father did. I saved this kingdom," Amalie corrected Fraser.
So many people could have been dead right now if demons did as they liked and went on a feeding frenzy. She had to offer up the souls of those who had been joining her father to use the weak to satisfy the demons or they would get restless.
"The men who terrorised the roads farmers used have all been captured and their souls ate. Most of the men in the court who used their positions to cheat the people out of their money, stole, or abused their power to kill or use someone have all had their souls eaten. I am doing what my father and you for your short reign failed to do," Amelia added.
"You’ve killed hundreds of your people to keep those demons fed. What have you done to my mother? I’ll kill you if you do something to her," Fraser warned, looking around the room for something to use as a weapon while Amelia was distracted.
"Your mother took my offer to leave the castle and start living her life. What she does after that has nothing to do with me. Perhaps she will be unable to live without you and kill herself or she will settle down quietly," Amelia said, peering down the outside of the window to see the demons walking by below.
They had quickly gotten used to being in the living world and acting as guards.
"If Killian was not a demon and you could have somehow killed him, you wouldn’t leave me alive, would you?" Amelia asked, facing Fraser once more. She already had a good idea what his answer would be, but she wanted to see if he would be honest.
"I would have let you return to the north," Fraser lied.
