Ascension of the Monster Queen

Nessa exhaled deeply, feeling a bit more tired and all she wanted was not to have any big problems to deal it and hoped for things to go smoothly.

The demon approached her and she glanced at him and her brows furrowed as she stared at his hood then scoffed.

"Are you getting irritated by the fact that my face is hidden under the hood?" He asked and she continued looking at the city then a smile appeared on her face.

"No, why would I get irritated by it?" She asked and a blank expression appeared on his face as he looked at her.

"Liar," He responded.

"How rude, well, you are a demon after all," She said and he chuckled.

"The fact that I am a demon doesn't seem to bother you that much anymore, I guess that's because you have seen a lot at such a young age, that much I can tell, but my face being hidden is somewhat bothering you, am I right?" He asked and she glanced at him then shrugged and his right brow twitched.

"You..." He mumbled and she looked up at the sky while thinking about what she should do to help the king.

"What are you thinking about?" He asked.

"Possibilities," She responded.

"You have a feeling that this is not going to be easy in every possible way, don't you?" He asked and she chuckled then a smirk appeared on her face.

"I never expected it to be easy, how we handle it is what matters, you seem pretty good at these things though, that I must say," She responded and his eyes narrowed.

"Have you done this before?" She asked and he looked away from her.

"You can say I have, we see a lot of different things on a daily basis as well," He responded.

"Is that so?" She asked and he sighed and then nodded.

'A bit too mysterious this one, but, whatever,' She thought then turned around and grabbed her bag, then placed her things in the closet before glancing at his bag.

"Do you plan on staying in the same room with me?" She asked and a smirk appeared on his face as he approached her.

"I wonder what your reply would be if I actually answered that question, my lady," He responded and her eyes narrowed as he grabbed his bag, then waved at her before leaving the room and she smiled a little before sighing.

'I wonder what more am I willing to do to protect my friends and those in my nation... A certain feeling is welling up inside me, I hope I don't...' Nessa thought before closing her eyes, she remembered her dream, then punched the closet, cracking the side a little and she sighed then left her room and exited the castle.

Nessa went to the side of the castle and she exhaled deeply as the fresh air from the mountains brushed against her body and just then, she sensed a different energy coming from within the forest nearby.

'What was that?' She wondered.

[That was beast magic, meaning magical beasts are within the area.]

"I see, maybe I will go see for myself later on, for now, I am hungry," She mumbled as she held onto her stomach.

Nessa's dimensional pocket opened and she took out a snack from it, then began eating while looking at the beautiful view before her eyes.

"What are you doing?" The demon asked and Nessa jumped up and was about to punch him straight in his face and her eyes widened when she saw it was him and held back.

The energy that was coming off of her hand, slightly shifted his hood and he held onto it, then she realized that he didn't even flinch and she pulled back her hand before sighing.

"You are going to get hurt one of these days," She said and he chuckled.

"Don't worry, I won't get hurt that easily, also, I have to say, your reactions are hilarious," He replied and she stared at him with a blank expression on her face and he tilted his head.

"I think I am going to put you to use during our time here, look forward it, demon, come on, I am going to take a look around," She said as she walked away before looking at him with piercing eyes and a smile appeared on his face.

"Do as you please, it's not like I am doing anything else," He replied and she scoffed as they left the castle yard, walking to go into the city.

"I wonder if this place is actually as good as they say, we have to do a few things if we are going to find the perfect leader as well, we might as well start now," She said.

"What do you have in mind?" He asked as he walked up beside her and she glanced at him.

"What do you think?" She asked as they arrived in the city and she looked at how busy it was and he looked around.

"I see, you are going to use the people for this one, you are going to do some research," He responded and she smiled then nodded.

"Yeah, we can know a bit more by doing a little research, I want to know the people's opinion as well," She said.

"I see, so where will you get started?" He asked and she looked around then sighed since there were a lot of people nearby and she couldn't just walk up to them and ask them questions.

"Do you want me to do it for you? After all, according to you, I am the suspicious one," He said in a sarcastic tone and she looked at him.

"I can do it by myself you know," She replied.

"I know, but should you?" He asked and she scoffed then sighed.

"Fine, you can go ahead and do it, but I will be nearby demon," She responded as he walked away.

"Didn't you give me a name?" He asked and her eyes narrowed as she walked not far from him, but at a distance in which she could hear what he was saying and he began approaching people, most who seemed to be friendly, both the poor and the rich.
