Ascension of the Monster Queen

After a little while of waiting, Nessa had finally finished taking her bath then she got dressed and exited the bathroom and he glanced at her then she smiled before apologizing for keeping him waiting.

Nessa grabbed her bag and he glanced at her then she looked at him from head to toe and his brows furrowed then he stood up but she still kept on looking at him.

"Hey, is something wrong with you?" He asked then clocked his finger before her eyes and she looked at him.

"No, there is nothing wrong with me," She responded.

"Could have fooled me, if you can hear, next time answer, please," He said and she exhaled deeply.

"Got it, I was just thinking about something," She replied and his eyes narrowed.

"Huh? What is it?" He asked.

"Your clothes, we are going to be staying at the castle, you are dressed neatly but you need something even better, a bit more elegant," She responded.

"Great, that's all?" He asked.

"Yeah, that's all," She responded and he sighed.

"Fine, wait here for a few minutes, I will go get a change of clothes then we can leave, is that okay?" He asked and she smiled then nodded and he left the room then she sat down on the bed, waiting for him to return.

After a few minutes of waiting, he came back into the room and she glanced at them and a gentle smile appeared on her face then she sighed when she saw he was still wearing a hood.

"You and that hood," She said and he chuckled.

"Is this okay?" He asked and she got up then approached him.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Yeah, it suits you, perfectly, I might have a few things for you later on, shall we go now?" She asked as she walked past him and he glanced at her then they left the room and she returned the key to the receptionist, after which, they left the inn.

The royal castle was at the very back of the city which only meant they would take a little bit of time to get there.

While walking in the city, Nessa noticed a few people looking at them and she exhaled deeply when she saw that it was because of the one wearing the hood beside her and she scoffed.

"Is there a problem, lady Nessa?" He asked and she chuckled.

"No, none at all, we will arrive in a few minutes, Kuruno," She responded and he exhaled deeply.

"Yes," He said and she wanted to laugh at him but held back.

When they arrived at the castle, they saw the amount of knights that were in the place at each corner and before she could enter, the guards approached them and she showed them her invitation and they allowed her to enter.

The castle was huge was silver mixed with a few other colors, there were different types of small trees in the front yard, some of which had different shapes but took the landscape pretty well, adding a nice touch.

There was a stream with a bridge over it, connecting to another half of the castle and there were a few people walking in the yard.

"This place is big," She said.

"Yours is starting to seem bigger," He replied and she scoffed as they approached the castle door and another guard came to them as well as a butler and they greeted Nessa.

After seeing her invitation, the butler glanced at her and then smiled before bowing his head and allowing them to enter.

"We have been expecting you, the king will personally greet you, I will be taking you to the throne room, please follow me, ma'am," He said and she nodded then they followed him.

As they walked down the hallway, Nessa looked at the interior of the place and saw it was a bit different from the outside of the castle and was brown mixed with blue and gold stripe-like designs.

After a few minutes of walking, they arrived at the throne room and the butler knocked on the door before opening it and they entered.

The throne room was big, mixed with the same color of the interior within the rest of the castle and there were curtains hanging by the windows and a few of them as designs between a few walls, adding a nice touch to the room as the sunlight reflected on them.

Nessa looked and saw that there was no one there except the king who was sitting on the large throne before them and he smiled at them.

"Welcome," He said then they bowed their heads and curtsied and he smiled.

"You can rise, you are the one that was sent by Kurson, am I right?" The king asked and Nessa as well as the demon raised up and she looked at him and he smiled at her.

The king was old, had silver hair with a few black stripes and a beard with wrinkles by the side of his eyes, he was tall, muscular and fair with bright blue eyes and seemed to be a nice person.

"Yes, your highness, I am the one that was sent by Kurson, he couldn't come by himself because he had a few other things to take care of, so I am here in his place," She responded and the king exhaled deeply.

"I understand, I hear there have been many changes happening in many different places lately, so it's only natural that he would be busy, these things can get quite tiring sometimes, thank you for being here, Nessa," He said and she smiled at him.

"It's true, lately a lot of things have been changing and it's my pleasure, your highness, I am glad I could help," She replied.

"You are quite a nice young lady, now, I take it, Kurosn briefed you on what you are here to do?" He asked.

"Yes, he did, he told me why I am really here," She responded.

"Good, may I know, who this young man is?" He asked.

"This is Kuruno, he is my personal assistance," She responded.

"All right, let's discuss this a bit more, you two, walk with me," He said as he got up and walked away and they looked at each other then Nessa shrugged and they followed the king.
