Chapter 324: Chapter 324
Alia walked the halls back to her bedroom as another day was coming to an end and it was soon ti for her to et with Lilith and the other won. Before that, she had to et with Killian to spend a bit of ti with him.
"I should have told Lilith we would have so girl ti in the morning," Alia said to herself.
Nightti was ant for her to spend what little ti she had with Killian, but she was so caught up in the mont with Lilith that she said she would have a girl’s night.
"Why do you seem so defeated?" Edith asked. She trailed Alia, keeping an eye out for any danger from the other demons or humans still left in the castle.
"I made a decision that will have my needy husband not wanting
to leave and my needy friend wanting to pull
away from my husband. Tonight will be interesting. I know it is Killian and Lilith, but if those two start playing tug of war with , please take
far away from them. Those two can be like children sotis," Alia said, shaking her head.
"I was inford that we are to et, eat, have drinks, and talk about things young won would at your age or younger. I am not as young as I look," Edith reminded Alia.
"I am aware of that. It has nothing to do with age. We were just thinking of having a fun night with a few ladies to make up for sothing we never genuinely experienced. Do you have a lot of friends, Edith? There is so much about you that I am yet to know," Alia said, stopping to look at Edith who also stopped.
"You don’t need friends in the underworld. The most I had were my siblings, but I wanted to kill one each ti I saw them. I didn’t make many friends when I ca to this world. I kept to myself until you arrived. Now, there is Gina. She scares easily, but I like her," Edith replied.
"You are breaking my heart. Am I not your friend?" Alia questioned, walking backwards so she could see Edith’s reaction.
"You are the queen. And a friend," Edith spoke softly, hoping no one heard that.
"Why are you looking around? Would it be so bad if others knew you were a friend of mine- Oh!" Alia exclaid when she walked into sothing hard. She looked up and found Killian staring down at her. "You know I don’t like it when you sneak up on
like this. You should make your presence known. You are early."
"I ca early for my wife to greet
like this? Where are the kisses and the hugs?" Killian asked, wrapping his hands around her waist.
Edith backed away to give the two so privacy. She doubted Alia would be joining Lilith for a girl’s night when Killian would not want to let her go. Edith was still up for drinking since she knew Lilith had to have a good collection of drinks.
It would be even better if they were to start fighting each other. That would be a real party.
"Kisses and hugs are for people I am not angry with. You forced
to sleep and you were gone when morning ca. Do you honestly think you deserve a warm welco after that? If I could, I would probably throw you out a window. First, you leave
out of nowhere at dinner and I forgive you. Then you forced
to sleep when I wanted to speak with you. I forgot how angry I was with you," Alia muttered.
With Beth leaving, Leonard being in the castle and Lilith chasing Fraser, she forgot that she was a bit angry with her husband for the two stunts he pulled.
"I don’t know why I considered spending ti with you tonight. I will be with Lilith, Gina, and Edith. You should find Alastor and soone else to have fun with," Alia said, removing his hands from around her waist so she could leave.
"You are no different from the hellhounds when they are upset. I’m sure you would try ripping my face off if you could. I apologise-"
"You apologised for leaving
at dinner and I partially forgave you. You returned and sent
to sleep when I wanted to speak with you. Sotis I don’t really like that you have all this power. You get to do as you like and then apologise."
"I didn’t like you disappearing on
at dinner and I get that I was freaking out learning about a child, but I swear," Alia said, grabbing Killian’s shirt and pulling him toward her. "If you ever disappear on
without telling
a word or force
to sleep and don’t be in bed when I wake up the next morning, Lucifer is going to lose his favourite demon. Understood?"
Killian nodded his head, highly amused by Alia’s aggressive side. To be scolded by Alia made him feel like a husband.
"Why does it look like you are enjoying this?" Alia asked, folding her arms as she took a step back. There were many tis she could not understand the mind of the man she fell in love with.
"I am. I feel like a husband when you scold ," Killian shalessly admitted. "Go on."
Alia stared at Killian in disbelief. The only response she could have to what he said was to walk around him and go to their room.
"I apologise and this ti I won’t ever do it again. I can find a weapon that might cause
a bit of pain so you can-"
"Knowing you, you would like
inflicting pain on you so that is out of the question. Do not leave
without a word to make
worry about you and do not force
to sleep unless I ask. There is an aching headache I have to deal with when you do that. As punishnt, you will be alone tonight," Alia said, slowly down to match his pace to walk beside him.
"I did not travel all the way here to not sleep with my wife tonight," Killian said, holding her hand to stop her from leaving his side.
"I was the one to suggest having a girl’s night with Lilith and I fear she might be let down if I cancel it because my husband is here," Alia replied.
"So?" Killian questioned, not seeing why he had to care about Lilith’s feelings. The woman already spent more ti with his wife than he did.
"I am confused. When I first t Lilith, it seed like the two of you had a good friendship, but now it feels like you two take every opportunity to shove the other out of spending ti with . Or you are always taking jabs at each other. Like Lilith laughing at the fact you have not sensed our child. Do you sense it now?" Alia asked, curious about whether there was any change.
"I don’t."
"Well, I have two theories. You are not as powerful as I thought you were or our child wishes to hide from you for so reason. I want to read more books about demon children so I am not shocked by anything new, but I am a bit scared to see that demon in the library. So," Alia smiled, latching onto Killian’s arm. "Will you be a good husband and find ti for ?"
"It feels like you are talking to
the sa way you would talk to Loki. The demon in the library won’t harm you. Unless you make noise in the library. I have seen it rip to shreds-"
"Killian," Alia said, squeezing his arm to get him to stop. "You are not helping
to not fear that demon. Now every ti I blink, I see all of those eyes. If you truly love , you should build a small library near our bedroom so I do not have to see that demon when I want to read a book. Not that there’s anything wrong with them," Alia added in case the demon had so special ability to hear her from all the way in the north.
"Which castle would that be? Are we staying in this castle permanently until there is an heir or coming and going from the north? Where will we reside when this is all over?" Killian asked.
"It would be fitting for us to settle down near the border if we are to have one child ruling the Blackwell kingdom and one ruling the north. When one of them acts a fool, we will be right in the middle to make a quick visit to hit them over the head. I pray that we can raise our children well for them to be good rulers. I’d hate to have to pull them off the throne for acting like Fraser," Alia said.
It would be hard to look them in the eyes and tell them that the throne no longer belonged to them, but it would need to be done. She did not want to be like Beth or Margaret who let their sons continue to sit on the throne when they weren’t good kings.
"That is why we should have a few twenty children or so in case there are so rotten apples," Killian suggested, toying with Alia’s hair as they walked.
Alia stopped walking and stared at Killian who smiled. "A few? What part of twenty is a few?"
