Ascension of the Monster Queen

A while after, they had all finished getting dressed, they went straight to the castle and waited for each other by the entrance.

At that time a lot of people had already arrived and the coronation was about to begin.

When Nessa arrived, she saw the others and they smiled as she approached them.

"You guys cleaned up nicely," She said, Ian chuckled and patted her on the shoulder and she glanced at him.

"You look great in that dress as well," Ian replied and the others nodded.

"Thank you, now let's get going, we have to be there for him when he puts that crown on," She said as she entered the castle and the others followed her in.

Nessa wore a long dark purple dress with a flair bottom and short sleeves, her hair was up in a curly bun and she wore a black high heel shoes as well as a silver necklace and bracelet.

The castle was packed with different people and when they went to the throne room where everything would take place, the people there were all talking about the prince's story, feeling sorry for him and Nessa scoffed when she heard them mumbling.

"I feel like punching most of them, that's here, pretending like they know what it feels like," Yonja said, the others looked at him and Nessa smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Relax, this is only natural, there is nothing we can do about it, let them talk," She replied and he exhaled deeply as the prince entered the throne room and they looked at him.

A lot of people greeted the prince and he clenched his right fist while smiling at them and Nessa chuckled, they knew that he felt uncomfortable around more than just a few of them.

"Well, you seem very comfortable," Nessa said as the prince approached them and he smiled.

"Yeah, I am very comfortable, I am glad you guys made it on time, I just want to get this night over with, also you all look really nice," He replied and they smiled at him.

"Thank you," They said.

"You look nice in your princely attire as well, I suggest you go to the throne, you will be crowned king in a few minutes, we are all here to support you, so don't worry," Nessa replied and the prince turned and looked at the throne before exhaling deeply.

"Thank you, Nessa, also, I am waiting to hear who you really are so the faster this gets done, the faster we will know about you, right guys?" The prince asked and the others laughed before nodding.

When it was time for the prince's coronation, he went to where the throne was and stood before it, everyone turned their attention to him and he smiled at them.

The prince gave a small speech about himself and what his future plans for the kingdom will be and he even mentioned his parents even though it was a bit hard.

After he finished speaking, the crown was placed on his hand and he held onto the royal staff before sitting on the throne. Everyone in the throne room bowed and out of respect, so did Nessa.

He looked at them as they bowed, then he raised up and asked them to rise after which they all stood up and the music began playing, he placed the staff down and his maids took the crown back to his room.

"Nessa, do you want to dance with me?" He asked as he approached her and she smiled then took his hand and began dancing with him.

While dancing, the king noticed that Nessa was looking at some of the royal's behaviors and he smiled at her.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"They are what I don't want to be, most of them are selfish, you know that," She responded and he sighed.

"Yeah, I knew that ever since I was a kid, they are a problem at times, most of them only ever care about wealth, hardly about their people," He said and she scoffed.

"And people ask why enemies are created," She replied and he smiled at her as the dance came to an end.

The others approached them and they looked at them. Nessa chuckled when she saw the way they were all looking at her, she knew that it was time to give them the answer that they had been waiting for.

"You guys want your answers?" She asked and Sophia patted her on the shoulder.

"Yes, we do want an answer, so will we be getting our answers now?" Sophia asked and Nessa glanced at the king and he grinned at her and she chuckled.

"Yeah, you guys will be getting your answers now, let's go talk somewhere a bit more private, shall we?" She asked as she walked away, they looked at each other and then followed her.

Before they could leave the throne room, another royal approached them and tapped the king on his shoulder, he turned around and looked at the person who smiled at him.

"Can I talk to you about a few things, your highness?" He asked and he sighed, then glanced at the others as well as Nessa.

He knew that they were all curious and wanted to know, he wouldn't admit it, but among them he was one of the most curious as well.

"How important is the subject that you want to talk about?" He asked.

"For the betterment of the kingdoms," The young man before him responded.

"Well, wait here, I will be back shortly and then we can talk, is that okay?" He asked and the young man nodded then he smiled and they left the throne room.

They all went to the living room and sat down while Nessa stood before them as they stared at her. Enjoy exclusive content from empire
