MATED TO THE VAMPIRE KING SON novel Chapter 116

Chapter 116

Christie’s POV

The castle was not what it seemed anymore from the moment Freda

disappeared. I always knew Williams was up to something but I never

realized it was this big, since I overheard him and the former king

talk I had been watching him, following him around, trying to gather

what I could so that if I did survive by the time Damien returns I

could tell him about the happenings in the kingdom.

I was bored, I realized too late that Freda was the only reason I had

something worth doing in the castle. I roamed the halls looking for

something to do when I noticed the nobles tripping one after the

other into the castle and they all went in the direction of the throne

room.

Something was wrong, I remember thinking to myself as I followed the last person who was Lady Daphne. She had a weird look on her face that confirmed my suspicion, Williams called for the meeting obviously, and I stood behind the door wondering what the meeting

this time was about.

The large door closed but not fully, I could still see their faces from the way the table was arranged, I looked around trying to make sure there was no guard around that could put me in further trouble,

everybody has been different and on their toes. I can’t blame them,

we were all scared of Williams and his new authority.

I looked around through the small space by the door, and I saw

Williams sitting on the throne like he owned it, something hit me, the

throne had never fit anyone except Damien, he filled the space like he

was meant to remain in that seat, and looking at Williams casually

sitting on the throne was laughable, he looked nothing like Damien.

“Why did you call this meeting?”

“More like he threatened us to attend this meeting!” Lady Daphne

said countering Duke Magnus’s words and it made me smile, the duke

was too quiet and it could be annoying.

“As you all know, Damien is out on a fruitless hunt for his queen blah

blah, I have decided to take charge of the kingdom..” he took pause “..

I am guessing this was how Damien did it when he killed my brother and immediately took claim of the throne,” he said with a snicker and

I felt embarrassed on his behalf.

“What are you talking about?” Marques Theo said, he looked really

angry and it was a surprise.

“Join me, let’s make this kingdom better together, you all don’t like my nephew so no need to pretend, I see your scornful gaze on him

anytime he calls for a meeting so I can tell that there’s hate for him

amongst you”

“You’re wrong,” Duke Magnus said. “He’s a young king and sometimes makes decisions that don’t sit well with us but that doesn’t mean we hate him, hate is a strong word Williams, and I have seen what you have been trying to do around the castle, making people choose

between you and Damien and then sending the ones that refused to

choose to the dungeons, well don’t think that tackless tactics will

work on us, we are loyal to the crown, one you don’t possess so we

owe you nothing‘

I had never been more proud of Duke Magnus in my life than I was at

this point, I looked at Williams’s face and oh it looked like he was

going to burst into tears and I wished he did but unfortunately, he

didn’t, he just stood up and clapped his hands together as Duke

Magnus had just performed.

“It is good that you know what I do to people who do not wish to join

the crown would be mine soon that’s not an issue, the issue now

is who wants to go to the dungeon and who wants to remain a Lord”

me,

He asked, the room was silent until Lord Balen raised his hands, the

nobles had a shocked looks on their faces but I didn’t, I wasn’t

surprised since he was in on it all along, it was just a pity that the rest of the Lords didn’t know the length he went through to betray

the crown.

“Lord Balen, what is this?” Marques Theo said and he got up from his

seat.

“I have accepted to join Williams a long time” he uttered and the

Lords grew more shocked “My daughter Verestina would be crowned

queen, and I would be raised to a higher rank, but I assure you all that

each of you would be well taken care of, all you have to do is join

Williams, he would make a fine king, he’s older and has more
