Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 343 A few candidates

The two left the throne room with the king and as they walked down a hallway, he glanced at Nessa and she looked at him and a gentle smile appeared on his face then he sighed.

"You see, I have to get a good leader for this kingdom and I fear what has been going on with other places lately, might happen here, I fear that when my time comes and this kingdom doesn't have a chosen leader, everything that I have worked hard to keep safe and protect may fall apart, do you understand?" He asked.

A smile appeared on Nessa's face and the demon looked at her then she sighed before nodding.

"Yeah, I understand how you feel," She responded and he smiled.

"Maybe you do, after all, you work with Kurson, the candidates for the throne are those closest to me, the ones I see the most potential in, the ones closest to me, my family members, I have seen them grow much more than before, but, power can get to your head and I am worried it might cause a disturbance of the balance within this land," He said and Nessa lowered her head before sighing.

"The other kingdoms have a say in this as well, am I right?" The demon asked and the king nodded.

"Yes, but despite that, even if they have a problem, they have to keep the person I chose to sit on the throne, whether they like it or not, well, if I get the right one," He responded and Nessa smiled at him.

'Poor man, he is just trying to do what is right, his duty as well, but this situation is getting tangled at a fast rate and not for the good,' Nessa thought as she looked up at the ceiling.

"You need help in making the decision and keeping the peace? You need someone to keep an eye on things while you do it fairly as well? Am I right?" Nessa asked and the king looked at her.

"Yeah, you are right, kid," He responded and she chuckled.

"Also, I already did a few tests on the candidates, I might do a few more to make the final decision, I am not sure yet, I have a few more things to discuss," The king said as they went to another section of the castle and Nessa glanced at him.

"They are doing well, aren't they?" Nessa asked and he nodded with a nervous smile and she smiled.

"Well, if they have a good amount of experience, of course, they will, which will make things a bit harder, but since you have been with them for quite a long time now, I am sure, you will be able to figure it out," She responded and he nodded.

"I hope so, well, here you are, I hope that you guys will like your rooms, it's near each other," He said as they arrived at a room with a large brown door and golden designs.

The king opened the door and Nessa smiled at the room as they entered, she looked at how luxurious the room was despite it being made for guests, it was fit for a king.

"This is your room Nessa, the one next door is his, they are basically the same, you will have everything you need, all you guys have to do is ask, okay?" He asked and they smiled at him and then thanked him.

"All right, you two settle in, I have a few things to take care of, so I have to go, is that okay?" He asked.

"Yeah," Nessa responded.

"Nice, I will see you two later, bye and I hope you can both enjoy your stay," He said with a smile then left the door and closed the door behind him.

The demon placed her bag down then she went into the balcony and he glanced at her as she looked at the city with her eyes narrowing.
