Chapter 302: Chapter 302
"You can wait out here Edith. Should I bring you a chair or-"
"It is fine. I would rather be standing in case soone tries attacking your room. If there is anything you need, please call upon
and I will get Gina for you," Edith said, pushing Alia into her room.
"Where has Gina run off to?" Alia asked, looking down the hall where Gina should show up. "I didn’t think she would want to be away from us right now. It is still dangerous for her."
Edith continued to push Alia inside her room. Alia kept stopping to speak of the most irrelevant things so she could prolong having to go inside her bedroom. "She went off sowhere arguing with Alastor. She knows this castle better than I do so she will be able to find her way back here without finding herself in danger. You must go inside."
"I am going. My mother and Lilith are already pushing
away from the throne room. I didn’t think you would join them, Edith. I could have at least watched from afar what they were doing. How do I even get Killian to return to speak with ? I have never done this before," Alia said.
Killian was far away from where she stood in the Blackwell castle. How was she supposed to get him to know that she wanted to speak with him now?
"Demons are sort of sensitive to the people they have bedded. There is a mark we leave on each other. Sothing like what werewolves do, but with less of the deep connection crap and having one soul mate. Just long for him or force yourself to be really sad and he shows up. I will not let you out of this room until a few hours have passed. Do not think of the castle and rest," Edith said, closing the door right after.
Alia sighed and rested her head on the door. Everyone was hellbent on trapping her inside her room. The last ti she was here, she had been burning from the holy water Margaret had fallen on her and Killian. It was hard to believe that it happened this morning.
So much had happened from the mont she woke up with Killian being attacked by the priests, him killing them and the n Fraser hired, her sitting on the throne, the underworld opening its gates, her mother’s return and now her grandmother had turned to a toad.
"How did this all happen in one day and the day is far from over?" Alia wondered out loud. She still had not eaten much to last her the day. When it ca ti for dinner, the table would have interesting guests seated.
Alia didn’t realise just how much had happened till now that she had a chance to think about it. Her grandmother being a toad was the one she would find hard to get used to the most. Her mother’s return felt normal since she knew that her mother was alive. It was just surreal to see her right now.
Alia walked away from the door since there was no way Edith would let her walk out and go back down to the throne room or at least go to a window in one of the halls so she could see what was happening at the gates.
The only thing she could do now was go to her balcony to see what was happening to the kingdom and try to see what was happening in the direction of the kingdom Killian was ant to be at now.
She could already hear the laughter of demons flying around above the castle. She was yet to know what exactly it was that they were laughing at or perhaps, she had misread the sounds they made for laughter.
Alia walked to the balcony and opened the door, but did not step out onto the balcony. Just like her room back in the north, there was a good drop on this balcony if soone were to knock her over and cause her to fall. It would certainly have Killian arrive if he could feel that she was scared, but falling from her balcony was not sothing she wished to go through right now.
She still felt the chills from when Killian would fly her around. From this mont on, the two of them were going to make proper use of her carriages. It was stressful to think of the fact that one day she and Killian might also have children who would fly around and she would bet the throne they would want her to fly around with them.
It was not going to happen.
Alia thought of Killian in an attempt to get him to know she wanted or better yet, needed him here. She doubted this would work, but then again, Killian always had a special talent to show up before her at the best ti.
If Killian could not co, she would settle for Loki coming to see her. For a wolf given to her, he failed at coming to see her often. She was starting to think the wolf only ca around when it wanted to have fun showing Killian that it allowed her to pet him.
Alia sighed, closing back the balcony doors. Rather than try reaching out to him with her emotions she would wait till night. He was most likely busy leading the army and she did not want to co off as a needy wife. Having a needy husband was already enough.
Killian promised he would visit her when night ca so they could catch up on what they did and perhaps he would lay in bed with her until she fell asleep and then go back to where he was needed.
Alia went to her bed and fell down onto the soft mattress face first. The best way to make ti move faster so she could go back to the throne and see her husband was to sleep. She turned to lay on her side so she could look around her room to see if Killian had shown up and once she saw that he was not there, she closed her eyes to force herself to sleep.
Hours passed and Alia was woken up by the familiar scent of cooked at. It was about ti she got her hands on sothing proper to eat. She was ready for dinner.
"Dinner!?" Alia exclaid, opening her eyes as she sat up. She was not supposed to sleep that long. "Why didn’t anyone wake
up?"
"Because your wonderful husband warned them not to. You have so nerve to desire
only for
to co and realise it is in your sleep that you want . You can make up for it by telling what kind of dream it was that you were having. Is it the sa as in my head?" Killian asked, hoping that it was so they could both be curious enough to try out what they were imagining.
"You," Alia said, in shock to see Killian laying on the bed right beside her, and eating her at.
"Yes, ?" Killian replied, placing a cut of the beef by her lips. "I could hear your stomach as you slept. I leave for one day and they starve my wife. You must have been cranky all day."
Alia was still too surprised by the sight of Killian to eat the at even though she really wanted to eat it. "How are you here? I was trying to get you here before I went to bed."
"Well, it seems that sothing you dreamt of did the trick which is why I am curious as to what it was. I felt that you desperately desired to have
near, with a bit of lust, and then there was sadness. I was in the middle of killing the neighbouring prince who you were ant to marry. I had to imprison him until I returned. I should be given a reward for leaving that and coming to you," Killian said.
"You are being a good husband. There doesn’t need a reward for that since it is how you should be. I do not know how I got you here, but I am glad to see you. There is so much that has happened. My mother is here. Did you et her while I was sleeping? I hope not," Alia said since she wanted to be for the very first mont her husband t with her mother.
"Why? Afraid your mother would be like your toad of a grandmother and try to separate us? I have not left your bedroom. Gina was the one who ca to bring you food and found
here. Another day I would love to know why she reeks of Alastors scent. Since when did the two of them have that kind of a relationship?" Killian asked.
Alia finally accepted the at from Killian. "You are mistaken. Gina and Alastor do not like each other. They always bicker when they are around each other."
"I did not mistake the strong scent of sex that lingered on her-"
"What!" Alia exclaid, almost choking because of her reaction.
