Ascension of the Monster Queen

Later that night, while Nessa was sleeping, within her dreams, she saw a light and from it, someone's hair blowing before her eyes and the area was both dark and had a little light, she called out to see who the person was, then he turned around to look at her with a smirk on his face.

"What the hell? Who is this?" Nessa asked as her eyes narrowed as she stared at him and he approached her with a sort of different feeling and presence around him.

Nessa left staring at the person she was looking at since she couldn't see his face, the only thing she saw was part of his body and the rest was being blocked off by the shadows within the room.

When he approached her, she saw piercing eyes looking at her and Nessa flung up from her sleep when he raised his hand and was about to touch her.

"Wh- What the hell is with the weird dreams I have been having lately?" She asked before exhaling deeply since the person she saw in her dreams was both calm and quite intimidating.

[That's probably because of the changes in your life, it's been one after another and you have evolved quite a lot, lady Nessa.]n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Yeah, it could be..." She mumbled.

"Or maybe it's something else, is that thing still up?" Nessa asked.

[Yeah, you can rest day, it's stronger than before as well and lady Nessa, sometimes dreams come in many different forms, it could be a warning or even something else.]

"I understand, I will be more careful..." She said as she stretched off, then looked at the time and saw that the sun had begun rising as well and she yawned.

'You have got to be kidding me, I mean I still have more time to sleep but, I am not sure that it's going to be enough,' Nessa thought then stretched off and wiped her eyes as she remembered all of the dreams she had been having lately.

Nessa laid back on the bed, then sighed before stretching off and closing her eyes and after a few minutes, she finally managed to fall asleep.

Later that morning, when Nessa woke up, she stretched off, then wiped her eyes before getting out of bed and opening the curtain to the balcony door of her room.

Nessa yawned, then went into the balcony and a gentle smile appeared on her face as the winds brushed against her and she exhaled deeply as she looked at the view of the city.

"This feels nice," Nessa said then she sighed, after remembering that they had many things to do and she grabbed her clothes then went to freshen up.

A little while after, when Nessa finished freshening up, she got dressed and then stretched off before yawning since she was still a little sleepy.

Just before Nessa was about to leave her room, someone knocked on it and she opened the door, then saw it was the demon and he waved at her.

"Good morning," He said and she smiled at him.

"Good morning," She replied.

"Are you ready for another day's hard work?" He asked and she scoffed.

"I don't think I should answer that question, I am pretty sure I feel like doing nothing but, if I follow how I feel, who knows what may happen, shall we head to breakfast?" She asked and he chuckled then nodded.

"Yes, let's go," He responded as he moved out of her way then she closed her room door and both of them left.

While walking a hallway, Nessa's eyes narrowed when she sensed the same heavy feeling she got on her first day at the castle and she sighed as she looked around and the demon glanced at her.

'Something just doesn't give me a good feeling here? I can tell something is wrong, it kind of feels ominous, I am going to handle this situation with care or who knows what more might fall apart,' She thought.

As they were nearing the dining hall, someone bumped into Nessa and the person looked at her and her eyes narrowed as one of the maids opened the dining hall's door and the king who was already in there, looked at them.

"Ah, sorry," The person said.

"It's fine," She replied and he smiled at her.

The guy was tall, had slightly long brown hair, blue eyes and was slim with fair skin.

"Come on, join us for breakfast, Nessa, Kuruno," The king said and both of them entered the dining hall along with the guy.

"Good morning, your highness," Both Nessa and the demon said and once and the king smiled at them.

"Good morning, guys, you may sit," He replied, then they nodded, then took their seats and the king sighed.

"Nessa, this is Nios," The king said and the guy who came in with her smiled.

"Nios, this is Nessa, she came here from another kingdom, one of my friend's close subordinates, she will be here for a while and the one near her is Kuruno, he is her personal attendant," The king said and Nios brought forth his hand.

"Nice to meet you, Nessa," He said and she shook his hand.

"You as well," She replied and he smiled at her then looked at the demon who glanced at him.

"Nice to meet you as well, Kuruno," Nios said.

"Nice to meet you as well," The demon replied and Nessa glanced at him and the girl that was with them for dinner the night before, was there as was the knight that came with her.

"She came to see the one that's going to get chosen as well?" Nios asked and the king sighed as he glanced at Nessa.

"First she came here for a vacation, but then that, so in a way," The king responded and Nessa smiled at him and wanted to laugh at the same time but held back.

"I see, well, despite that, you will probably have time, there are a lot of nice places to visit within the city, you can check them out," Nios said and Nessa nodded.

"Well, for now, let's eat our breakfast, there are a few things that have to be done today as well and I might address a few other things later on," The king added and they nodded then took their food and began eating. Discover more stories at empire

While eating, she sighed 'The vibe I am getting from them, is a little different, they won't show certain sides easily, which is why the king needed help, they are smart as well, which also means I have to keep a close eye on each of them, I somehow have a bad feeling about this, I wonder what will happen,' Nessa thought.

She glanced at the ones that were currently in the room and hoped to meet the other candidates soon so she could continue with her work.
