Ascension of the Monster Queen

Nessa wondered whether the king was talking about his next plan for the candidates, concerning the choosing and he looked at her then smiled a little before tapping her shoulder and she glanced at him.

"You are guessing right, it will be soon, I can't take too much time, I feel if I do, a lot of things will go wrong," He said and Nessa sighed, knowing that it was only natural for him to be worried about that since it could actually happen.

"Then, I will help a bit more, I am going to put more effort into it so that it won't take too much time, don't worry, we are here to help you after all," She replied and the king smiled at her then nodded.

"I know and thank you once again Nessa, this means a lot, with these sorts of things, there are only a few you can give certain tasks, I am glad Kurson sent you," He said and she smiled at him then he went to talk with the council members and she noticed that Kace was not there anymore and her brows furrowed.

'I have to get busy, I have to help the king a little bit more, what I am doing currently is not enough,' She thought as she returned to the demon, who was still with the others and he glanced at her.

"So, is there anything that I should know?" He asked and she looked at him then scoffed and pulled him a bit aside, so that no one would hear their conversation.

"Yeah, he is going to put the next and probably the final part into action soon, the test concerning the choosing, the king is a bit worried as well, I will have to do a bit more work than I thought I would, are you still willing to give a helping hand, demon?" She asked and his eyes narrowed.

'I can tell there is a lot going on in that head of hers, well, she does have a lot to do and doesn't waste time,' He thought before scoffing and she tilted her head as she looked at him and he sighed.

"Yeah, after all, I have things that I want to know as well, well you already know, so I don't have to go explaining why, right?" He asked and she glanced at him.

"Yeah, I already know, there is no need to explain again, as long as you are helping, we have to be extra careful as well, the king feels as though something may happen, well, I think the same," She responded.

"Due to everything that's happened so far, it's only normal to think so since they always make trouble, we will, something can happen," He said.

"Yeah, I also wonder how much more trouble they intend to cause for others, they seem as though, they are not going to stop until they get what they want, I need to find out that as well, who the hell is behind all of this and is messing with people's lives" She responded with a piercing look in her eyes and his eyes narrowed.

"Someone powerful, one with a strong influence, maybe more than, we won't know unless we dig deeper and find the core of it all, though you are right about them willing to do anything to get what they want, a lot of them are despicable as well," He said and she nodded.

"Yeah, we have to get to the core of it all, there is a possibility of there being more than one of them taking the lead, yes and if that's so, it will make them even more dangerous than before, I am not going to let them destroy it... I don't know whether they will make a move soon or not but..." She replied and that's when her focus was pulled to the entrance of the throne room.

The demon noticed that she was distracted and his brows furrowed as he looked at her then at the one who had just entered the throne room and he glanced at her as her brows furrowed, while listening to some among the council members as he was greeted.

"He..." She mumbled as she gritted her teeth and clenched her fist a little then closed her eyes as she began thinking about a few things, the demon tapped her on her shoulder and she glanced at his hand then at him.

"You were talking and then just suddenly stopped when he entered, what's going on?" He asked and she sighed then looked at the guy.

"You will find out soon, we can't talk too much in the open, even walls have ears at times, let's leave it as it is, for now, at least," She responded and his eyes narrowed as he looked at her.

"Fine, we will talk about it later then," He said and she smiled a little then nodded as she looked at the guy and her eyes narrowed.

'Will I be able to get anything here? I need to push forward more if I am going to find out who is behind all of this and why, damn it...' She thought as she lowered her head, while thinking about a few things.

The guy who had just arrived, approached her along with a few of the council members.

"Hello," He said and she looked at him then he smiled at her.

The guy seemed a bit older in age, around his mid-thirties, he was tall, had brown here, was slightly big built and fair and had brown eyes with a slim face.

"Hello," She replied.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"I hear that you are the one Kurson asked to help, I am Jovan, nice to meet you," He said as he brought forth his hand.

'Nice to meet me huh? We will see about that later on, for now, I will play along, I am not just going to let this opportunity pass, who thought that I would have seen you here so fast,' She thought.

"Nice to meet you as well, sir," She replied as she shook his hand with a smile on her face and the demon glanced at her, knowing that something was up but decided to wait until later to talk about it.
