Ascension of the Monster Queen

Hearing his name made a few things go through Nessa's mind and she wondered what she was hearing but then remembered that Kurson said she would find out for herself when she comes to the kingdom and everything would be explained in detail.

She exhaled deeply realizing that this is what he was talking about and she scoffed.

'So, you are a high-ranking official within the council, that's good to know, at least I now know where you get your information from and now I know what position you are actually in, but...' She thought then demon the demon tapped her on her shoulder and she glanced at him.

"You are not thinking he is bad are you?" He asked and her brows furrowed.

"Huh? Are you talking about Kurson?" She asked and he nodded then she scoffed.

"No, I know he is not bad but I have a few questions since some of the things that he is doing could get him in lots of trouble," She responded.

"True, well, now everyone has an eye out for the new nation, I am pretty sure the council is concerned about a few things as well and depends on their opinion of you guys later on, if it's a bad one, he could get in trouble if they find out he is in league with the leader, did you think of that as well?" He asked and she smiled as she looked at him.

"The way you think... Whatever, yeah I did think about that part as well, I will need to know more about this council after all," She responded and he glanced at her before scoffing.

"Depends on what you want to know, it could be hard to find out, but if it's just the normal things then that would be easy," He said and she smiled a little before looking at the king and the others.

"So, they have their eyes on the new nation, what if they find it a threat without them actually doing anything wrong?" Nessa asked and the king glanced at her.

"Well, that just complicates things even more, they will have to think ten times more as to what action they will take, it's like I said before, it all depends, to be honest," The king responded and her eyes narrowed as she remembered a few things, Kurson used to tell her about the power of a few people, especially those in high positions.

"I see, so they act when things that they don't like are happening, things that can go beyond their control, when certain things don't go their way and so on?" She asked and the king chuckled.

"Sometimes, after all the council is like an organization that was created to keep most things within these kingdoms intact, to keep an eye on them, especially when it comes to magic, they are a different type of power," The king responded and Nessa's eyes narrowed then she smiled at him and the demon glanced at her with his eyes narrowing.

"I understand, some people even think that they have to keep the peace and so on, am I right?" Nessa asked and the king chuckled as he looked at her and the princess smiled as Nios smirked.

"Yeah, you are right about that, some people do think that, but I have a different opinion, that I can tell you and everyone here without any sort of fear," The king responded and the demon smirked then Nessa exhaled deeply, realizing a few more things with their conversation, some which included Kurson.

"Still, we have to be careful of certain things, father," Reign said and the king nodded with a gentle smile on his face.

"He is right, a lot of things have changed lately and it's better to be careful, the council is one that you shouldn't mess with even though they can be reasonable at times, we all know that much," Kace added and Nios glanced at him in such a way again that it caught Nessa's attention and her brows furrowed.

"We know, don't worry about that," Reign said and Kace smiled at him, then nodded as the princess looked at them then she sighed before lowering her head.

'The way Nios looked at him, is this really just because of them competing for the crown or is it something else?' Nessa thought as she carefully looked at the way they were reacting to each other.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Careful how you look, you might get noticed," The demon said and she smiled then nodded.

'It would seem to me that I have more to deal with than I realized before, now this council thing...' She thought before sighing and Ira approached her then tapped her on her hand and she looked at him then he smiled at her and she chuckled.

"Ira," His mother called out, then Nessa lifted him up in her arms and she smiled at him then he grinned.

"I am so sorry about this," His mother said.

"It's okay, I don't mind, he is a cute little boy," She replied and his mother chuckled, then the princess smiled at them and the knight that was with her looked over at them.

"Well, guys, about this new nation, no one even knows who exactly the leader is, I do know that some are saying, he is quite powerful, though, not knowing an identity makes things a bit harder for the council, we can continue discussing more about this later, I will even give my own opinion on it, however, for some reason, all of this feels like it's just getting started, the nation seems to be growing fast," The king said and they smiled at him.

Nessa chuckled after hearing that the king called her a he and she sighed, then the king got up from his seat and they looked at him as he approached them.

"Well, since we are going to discuss the nation later, I might as well talk about the selection, you guys will be tested and when and how, that you won't be told or how long, let's see how well you do," The king said and they left staring at him then the king grinned and Nessa smiled at him.
