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.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"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.
"Fine, I know what I have to do, I will do what Kurson sent me here to, don't worry, I will support you in the best way I can," She said and he exhaled deeply before looking out the window, at his city and she glanced at him.
"I am glad, thank you, Nessa, I hope I will be able to find the right one soon," He replied.
"You are welcome, I wish you good luck, I hope you can as well," Nessa said and he grinned.
"Your Highness, you have to be careful as well, this can go south any time, it can cause an uproar, royal affairs can be a very delicate matter at times, a headache and some will want to put their own person in there, the one they think is best and some can go to extraordinary lengths to get what they want, to get their way, even those from the other kingdoms can do something, it won't be easy, especially if a lot might have the potential to sit on that throne," The demon said and Nessa glanced at him.
"You are right, young man and I know, it's exactly as you say it is, that's just how things work in our world, all of the politics can be quite a headache, it is indeed a very delicate matter, which is why I am glad Kurson sent you two, I will do my work but I am also counting on you guys," He replied and the demon looked at Nessa.
"We will support you in the best possible way, try and relax a little and focus on the work you have to do," Nessa said.
"Thanks, once again, I will introduce you to my family later on, they will be doing their own things by now and I'm certainly in no mood to go call for them, sorry," He replied.
"No need to apologize, it's understandable, we can meet them later," She said.
"Good, it's already a bit late in the afternoon, meet us for dinner in the dining hall tonight, for now, I will take you guys to your rooms," He replied and they nodded then Nessa wiped her right eye and the king walked away.
Both of them followed him and the demon glanced at Nessa since she seemed a bit sleepy, his eyes narrowed as he looked around the castle before scoffing.
"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.
