Ascension of the Monster Queen

As Nessa was eating, she noticed the girl looking at her with a smile and she smiled back at her then looked at the knight behind her and her eyes narrowed.

The girl had long, black, curly hair with green eyes, she was slim and fair and was dressed like a princess would.

'I wonder how long I will be here, I personally don't want to stay here for too long,' She said and the demon glanced at her as she was lost in her thoughts then flicked his finger, hitting the side of her head, gently and she flinched then looked at him and he finished off his meal.

"Nessa, let me introduce you, this is my daughter, Mikala," The king said and the Nessa smiled at the girl.

"Nice to meet you, your highness," Nessa said and the young lady smiled at her then bowed her head.

"You as well, Nessa," She replied in a soft tone and the king smiled a little before exhaling deeply.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"What's the matter, father?" Mikala asked and he glanced at her then patted her on her shoulder.

"Nothing for you to be so worried about, you have other things to focus on, do that," He responded and she frowned then Nessa sighed.

'Looks like this is going to take a lot of work, I should make Kurson pay me for this, whatever, this involves us as well, I can't let them just do as they please when what we have created can...' She thought then sipped her drink after finishing her meal.

"Father, I am finished, I will see all of you tomorrow morning for breakfast, please, take care of yourself," Mikala said as she got up and placed his hand on her shoulder and glanced at her then smiled.

"I will be just fine, don't worry and be careful, kiddo," He replied and she nodded, then left the dining hall before glancing at Nessa with her eyes narrowing and both Nessa as well as the demon saw her.

"Sorry about her, she is just worried about what has been going on lately," The king said.

"It's okay, it's only natural for her to be like that, tell me, is she a candidate as well?" Nessa asked and the king looked at her.

"In my eyes, yes, but I am not so sure about her own," He responded and a smile appeared on Nessa's face.

"I see, then, would you like us to handle and figure this out in our own way, if that's okay with you of course?" Nessa asked.

"As long as I get the results that I am looking for as well as keep the people of this place safe, yes, you have my permission," He responded and a smirk appeared on the demon's face as he looked at Nessa and she smiled then thanked the king.

"I am glad Kurson sent someone capable, don't let anyone know the real reason why you two are here, if they ask, I am the one that's going to answer for both of you, is that okay?" He asked and Nessa nodded.

"Yeah, that's fine with me," She responded as he got up from his seat as did they.

"Well, it's your first day here, you guys have a good night's rest then tomorrow we can continue our discussions and so on," He said.

"As you wish," Nessa replied and he smiled at them.

"Good night, I will see you both in the morning," He said then left and they left the dining hall, just after him.

While walking in the hallway to get back to their room, the demon glanced at her and she sighed then looked at him.

"What is it?" She asked.

"It's a bit too early, since we only got here a few hours ago, but you know the situation can rip everything apart for them, don't you?" He asked and she nodded.

"Yeah, we heard both praises and not-so-good things from the people as well, but I know how some people think as well, that's why, we can't judge based just on what they said, we have to dig in more and for that, there is tomorrow," She responded and he nodded.

"You are right, you just do what you have to do, I will help analyze each individual that's a candidate as well, with matters like these, I am sure maybe most of them are not clean at all, we have to see the different sides of them when power is concerned even the purest of heart can become tainted," He said in a serious and slightly cold tone and she glanced at him.

"Yikes, don't talk like that in front of them, instead of even talking to you, they will avoid you like a storm," She replied.

"Huh? If you think I sound crazy, I don't, it's the truth," He said and she chuckled as he stared at her.

"I know, it's the way a lot of people are, demon, calm down," She replied as they arrived at their rooms and he sighed.

"Well, let all of it play out, we have to do our part and act like we are not onto them," He said.

"Yeah, that way they won't try and hide much, we have to be careful and look carefully, we have to actually get to know them, got it?" She asked as she leaned in towards him and he looked at her eyes then grabbed onto her shoulder and moved her back and she glanced at his hands then looked at him.

"I get it, I completely understand, now, good night, I will see you in the morning," He said then patted her on her shoulder and she smiled slightly.

"Good night," She replied and his eyes narrowed, then both of them went into their room and locked their doors.

'He thinks pretty fast as well, but, he is something else, that's for sure,' Nessa thought before exhaling deeply and switching off the lights in her room and stretching off.

That night both of them went to bed pretty fast since they had a lot to do the next day and due to being tired, Nessa didn't take much time to fall asleep, with hopes that her plan will go exactly as they wanted it to.
