Chapter 334
"Can you shut the fuck up or leave?" Killian asked, pissed off that Lucifer revealed Amelia’s pregnancy to Richard when she had not yet told her mother. He doubted Amelia would like her father to know the good news first. "She has not told her mother about it."
"And that’s important because?" Lucifer inquired, not seeing where the issue was for Killian to be angry with him.
"Where is Anne? Is she here? Can I see her?" Richard questioned, forgetting his hatred toward Killian at the moment because of Anne. If this was a place for the dead, he should be able to see his wife.
"I don’t allow people in the land of the dead to meet with the living so easily. I don’t like you enough to do you a favour to see her. You can’t leave this room to go up top to see her so no, you can’t see your wife," Lucifer answered.
"Living? My wife is dead. She has been dead for two years now," Richard said, looking to Killian for an explanation. He was deeply confused by the demon talk and now his wife was alive somehow?
"Anne is alive. I am not sure how long she has been alive, but she is back with Amelia while you rot here. Seems fitting so the two of them will get to live in peace without you disrupting their days. The only person who might miss you was that mistress or maybe she won’t. You were loved because of what you could offer as king. Is your life pitiful now?" Killian asked.
He was curious about what Richard felt about where his life was now. Were there any regrets even if they weren’t about Amelia or Anne? Richard certainly looked pitiful in Killian’s eyes.
Richard once again hung his head low in shame. That was not a question he was going to answer to entertain Killian. All he wanted was for someone to make sense of how Anne was still alive. He had seen her being laid to rest. He touched her body after he was informed of her death and felt her coldness.
It should be impossible for Anne to still be alive after what he saw. No one wished for her to still be alive more than he did. He laid her to rest with a heavy heart. The only woman he wanted to love him but she never did. Regardless of what he offered her, she always had that same look as she would rather be anywhere other than the castle.
