Ascension of the Monster Queen

After a while of going around and asking people a few different questions, Nessa exhaled deeply, then stretched off before sitting on a bench by a sidewalk.

The demon glanced at her then approached her and she looked at him.

"Just like no kingdom is perfect, it's the same here, it's not perfect," He said and she glanced at him as she looked at the people within the city then scoffed.

"You are right and I know, no kingdom is perfect, no matter how some may try to make it that way..." She replied as she thought of what could happen now, especially with the enemy they were currently facing.

"You are right, even if the leader is great, there are sometimes that cannot be changed, but, that doesn't mean it should be left alone, am I right?" He asked and she glanced at him with her brows furrowing and he sighed then looked up at the sky.

"Yeah, you are right, well, we have things we need to and have to do here, the chaos that the enemies might cause can shake the very core of a nation, no matter how big it may be, let's help them in the best way we can," She responded.

"I have to go along with what you want so, whatever," He said and she looked at him with a blank expression in her eyes and he glanced at her as her eyes narrowed, while staring at him.

"I am kidding, I am just messing with you, you can get rid of that look now," He added and she chuckled as he looked at her then she got up when she saw a child playing with her family, while using her magic and a gentle smile appeared on her face.

"Shall we get something to eat then head back?" She asked and he stood up.

'What's up with her? He is weird in so many ways as well...' He thought as she went to a stall that was selling sweets and many other things, she began looking around then ordered a few and when she finished buy, she handed him a few and he looked at them then sighed.

"Thank you," He said and she glanced at him.

"You are welcome, we will head back, it will be dinner time soon and the king invited us," She replied and he nodded as they began heading back to the castle.

After a few minutes of walking and snacking, they arrived back at the castle and Nessa saw that the sun had already set and she took a look at the time then smiled.

"We are just in time, I will go freshen up then meet you for dinner," She said as they returned to their rooms.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"I will wait for you and we will go together, don't forget the job you gave me to act as," He replied as she opened her room door then chuckled before nodding and he went to his room to freshen up as did Nessa.

A little while after, when the demon finished freshening up, he got dressed then glanced at himself before exhaling deeply.

"This is going to turn into one big mess, that's the feeling I am getting, I swear I feel like ripping those bastards limb by limb... I wonder who the hell is behind all of this as well. She is not the only one but to her..." He mumbled before scoffing and leaving his room.

He went to Nessa's room then knocked on her room door then she opened it and he peeked in and she looked at him with a sleepy look in her eye and his expression went blank.

"You are one that comes under impossible, aren't you? If you are tired lady Nessa, you can meet with them tomorrow," He said and she glanced at him and then wiped her eyes.

"That would be rude, you know that, let's get going or we will be late," She replied and he glanced at her as she walked past him.

"Quite determined as well," He said then followed her and Nessa sighed, knowing that the only thing she wanted to do at the moment was to get some sleep.

As they were heading to the dining hall, they heard someone called out to them and Nessa came to a halt then turned around and saw it was a young lady, who worked as a maid in the castle and she smiled at them.

"Hello, I will take you to the dining hall, the king sent me to guide you both so that you won't get lose since you haven't gotten the chance to take a tour as yet," She said and Nessa smiled at her.

"That was kind of him, thank you," She replied and the girl bowed her head a little, before walking away and they followed her.

As they were heading to the dining hall, Nessa came to a halt upon sensing something and her eyes narrowed as the maid looked back at her and the demon glanced at her.

"Ma'am," The girl said.

"Is everything okay?" He asked and Nessa scoffed.

"That's exactly what I intend to find out with my time here, if everything is okay or not, let's go," She responded and he scoffed since he understood what she meant.

"Sorry, let's go," Nessa said and the girl nodded then took them to the dining room.

Upon entering, she saw there was only a girl along with a guy who looked like a knight along with the king.

"Your Highness," Nessa said and he smiled at them.

"Please, both of you, take a seat," He replied and Nessa nodded.

'From the looks of it, things are not going to get better just like that, the candidates are not here, the king was right, there might be more than just a problem even if he manages to choose the right person, this is not going to be easy, I will help fix this, as fast as possible and tread carefully as well,' Nessa thought as she sat down beside the demon then thanked the king for inviting them and he smiled at her.

"Please, go ahead and take your dinner, no need to hold back, we can still talk," He said and they took their food then began eating.

While eating, Nessa wondered what kind of energy she felt earlier, that was that heavy and her brows furrowed.
