The Throne Is Mine N Chapter 278

Chapter 278: Chapter 278

"Stay close to Edith. You might be targeted to get to . Your parents should be taken care of by now, right?" Alia asked Gina, who was helping her get dressed for breakfast.

During the ti Gina was away from Alia, she was ant to get her family close to the castle so that when hell would literally break loose, they would be sowhere safe, and not run around panicking with everyone else.

"There are. One of the northerners escorted them to sowhere safe. I will stay by your side, so I will not cause you any trouble. If you do not know it already, a group of n ca into the castle clad in armor. I didn’t see where they went, but I saw n from the court running around," said Gina.

Alia looked at Killian, who once again sat in a chair, watching her get ready. "Did they look like n you have seen in the castle before? Castle guards?"

"No," Gina said, shaking her head. "They looked like a bunch of n from the town. Those groups who do bad jobs if you pay them enough. A few of them had scars on their faces. I did not want to stay in their path for long, so I ca straight here."

"If they are going to attack us, why not use the castle guards when there are so many?" Alia muttered.

Killian picked up another of the fresh grapes Gina brought in for them to snack on while Alia got dressed. The castle had poor taste in many areas, but their fruit was always good. They could bring in anyone they liked. Fraser and those who followed him were still going to die.

It wouldn’t be long before the demon he placed on Cedric would make him lose his mind and die. Unless he was already dead? Killian had not seen Cedric or heard of him causing trouble.

"I am finished," Gina said, taking a step back to look over Alia’s appearance. The blue and gold dress she picked out for this big day was better than she imagined. "You look beautiful. Should I tie up your hair?"

"No. I prefer it like this," Alia replied, touching the long strands of her hair that fell over her shoulder. Instead of wearing her crown, she wore a golden chain in her hair that would be replaced by the Blackwell crown she planned to take from Fraser’s head later.

A knock at the door interrupted the mont. The door opened, revealing Edith, who looked pissed.

"My queen. King Killian," Edith greeted the pair. "There are priests here to escort you to the temple."

Alia frowned. The agreent was that she would go to the temple with Killian after breakfast. "We have not eaten. They should try to hide that they are in a rush to do sothing to us," Alia said, angered by her grandmother, who had to be the one pushing them to the temple so fast.

Killian picked up a handful of grapes and stood up as the awaited mont was finally here. "We must not keep them waiting when they are so eager to have us. Here," he said, offering Alia a grape for her to eat. "It is their mistake for not letting you eat before coming to get you. You are not the best person to be around when you are hungry."

Alia enjoyed the sweetness of the grape. It made her more hungry, but since they weren’t going to be given a break to eat sothing, the grapes were better than nothing. "Bring the bowl. I cannot get through the day without eating sothing. There should be a rule that no argunts should start until everyone has eaten."

Killian fed Alia another grape to help calm the monster that was starting to awaken inside of her.

Gina made herself useful by getting the bowl of grapes to carry. She didn’t see how this would fill Alia since Killian had eaten most of the grapes already. They needed to get more fruit, but she could not leave Alia’s side. Hopefully, she would see another maid to inform them to bring Alia sothing to eat.

Alia took a deep breath as she walked to the door with Killian. She wanted this visit to the temple to be over as fast as possible so they could focus on the more important things. Like the n Gina saw in the castle.

The mont Alia stepped out of her room, she faced n dressed in robes to show that they ca from the temple. Alia had been in the temple many tis, but she had never seen the two n standing before her. With her grandmother being the new head priest and the old priests not opening the temple the last ti Killian was here, there had to be a switch with the priests.

Alia looked at the mark on their foreheads, which was made to look like a cross. "Why did you draw that on your forehead?"

"To protect their souls from evil," Killian answered in place of the priest. "Which is funny to

since the eyes are what we use to change soone. Step aside," Killian ordered. He had no interest in their thods, which would not keep them safe. He wanted to see Margaret.

"It is the new way your grandmother instructed the priests to dress. Please follow us," one of the n said.

Alia hesitated at first, but with Killian practically wanting to skip to the temple to have his fun, she followed behind the two priests. ’They must be convinced that Killian would try to leave,’ she thought.

As they walked to the temple, Alia kept looking around their surroundings in case there would be an attack. She doubted Fraser and her grandmother were working together, but there was a high chance of them both trying to attack Killian. They both wanted him dead for different reasons.

Killian kept feeding Alia the grapes as they walked to the temple. As if this mont were written in a book, Margaret awaited them dressed in a robe like the true villain she was when they finally reached the temple.
