Free Web NovelChapter 180: Chapter 180 Witch!
Amber’s POV
"May I ask why you are cursing me, Madam?" I ask as politely and not judging as I can. She spits in front of me yet again, and I about had it with this. Not only is it unsanitary, but it’s also really fucking rude. Ignis is growling and pacing in my mind. She’s going to rush to the front of my mind soon, and I can’t really have that.
’Just let me have a little taste of her.’
’Ignis! No! We are the Queen, and we BOTH have to act like that. You can’t take verbal chuck out of everyone who is mean or rude towards us. We are the Queen of the dragons, and as such we will always be weighted and judged.’
’I hate when you are right!’ Ignis retracts again, but makes sure I know she’s unpleased as can be. I can’t help but chuckle in my mind at her antics. She is so overprotective.
"Look! Look at the devil at work. Look at her. She is possessed." The elderly woman screams, and this time I roll my eyes. People mumbles around us and look at me with uncertainty.
"I’m not possessed. I was talking to my wolf. Do you not talk with or to your dragons, huh?" Her mouth becomes a thin line, as the crowd mumbles confirmation on my question. Of course they do. I have seen Chase and Blaze talk to Loch and Calor multiple times. "My eyes glow when we communicate because she and I are powerful, and our power shines through when we tap fully into our bond." Some nod at this, while other’s does the sign of evil.
"I curse you!" The elderly woman yells again, finding a black powder from her pouch. Ignis immediately reacts with a howl, and I recognize it as well. We use our powers and teleport the pouch to our hands before she can reach fully into it. The powder was used when they came to rescue me. I saw it in action, and the guys explained the purpose of the various colors to me afterwards. Black means instant death. She was striving for my life.
"Where did you get this?" Chase asks, anger and disdain in his voice. The elderly woman’s eyes bulge out of her head as she points a knobbly finger at me.
"WITCH! SHE’S WITCH!" Chase and Blaze move slightly in front of me on instinct, while the woman keeps screaming profanities and curses at me.
"Do you even know who her mother is? Amber is the Queen of witches and magic folk, as well as YOUR Queen." Chase grits out. He has had very much patience with stupid people, and it seems he still doesn’t.
"My King, if I may?" The young woman says, laying a hand on her elder. The quiet following that movement is almost deafening. "We are many who are not quite certain if an outsider should be our Queen, and now she’s a witch as well? That really won’t do. I want to revoke the ancient laws of Challenge, where a highborn maiden can Challenge the ruling Queen or King for their position and mate - in this instant I must take both mates although the Prince is of no interest to me." I raise an eyebrow at Chase who has paled.
"That law was voided by the late King, my grandfather. It cannot be revoked like this." She smiles, something I find more and more repulsing. freēwebnovel.com
"He stated it could be if the Queen or King in question was of questionable heritage - which she is. She is not even a dragon. How are we supposed to follow her, when she is not of our people? More will come and they will infest our bloodlines, making our pure blood go tainted and wash out over generations." Oh! So this is her plot. She wants Chase as her mate, to be Queen and give the excuse that she’s a dragon. I’m fucking tired of having to defend myself in this regard.
"What are the three things I have to outdo you in, to get you to shut up?" I ask, crossing my arms. The woman finally looks me in the eyes, and I can see she thinks victory is at her hands. Oh how she has another thing coming.
"You’ll have to beat me in Dragon history, the levitating round and fire making." Is she just incredibly stupid or what? Does she not know who or what I am? By the look on her ugly face I would go with yes to stupid beyond belief and no she does not know.
"Fine, I accept the Challenge. When and where? Oh, and what is your name? I can’t keep calling you ugly Betty in my mind." I’m rude, and I know I am, but I’m also pregnant, hungry and cranky. I’m so done with hiding and being polite to these ignorant and stupid individuals.
"My name is Josephine, if you really must know. And I will have the Challenge here and now, with all these people as my witness." Uh huh. She named the same as the fucking pack slut at home. Oh how I’m looking forward to kicking this Josephine’s ass before I can kick the one in the pack’s as well.
"Fine. I accept this. No one can meddle, and if I lose?"
"You’ll have to rescind the throne, your mates and go away to never come back. You will be cast out from the cliffs, and if you survive you can return from the hole you came from."
"Uh huh. And if I win?" I look down on my nails, the perfect picture of someone who is incredibly bored.
"If you should be so lucky to beat me, which I doubt, then you can continue as Queen." I shake my head.
"Nuh uh, Josephine. If I win, which I will, you will have to apologize to my children for being a power seeking cunt. You will also tell all of your slutty friends to keep their eyes to themselves - yes I saw you. AND lastly you will go back to the boring ass hellhole you came from and tell all of those imbeciels that I am the righteous Queen and to leave me and my family the fuck alone or I will come hunting your asses out of the Kingdom. Understand?" She narrows her eyes.
"Understood."
