Upon arriving at the ballroom, Nessa exhaled deeply then entered and she saw that a lot of people were already there and her brows furrowed, feeling a bit reluctant to join them.
Just then she was about to turn around and at the same time, someone wrapped their arm around hers and she looked and saw that it was the demon.
He glanced at her and she looked at him, seeing he was still wearing a hood over his head and she exhaled deeply.
"So, do you like my outfit? Suits me right?" He asked and she chuckled then nodded.
"Yeah, it suits you, quite well actually, it's not like I was expecting you to come without hiding your face or anything," She responded and he chuckled then she glanced at him and he sighed.
"Were you just about to leave?" He asked and she glanced at the audience and noticed many were looking at her and she scoffed.
"Yeah, I guess in these types of places, people in positions like Mikala, feels like a prey," She responded and he chuckled then nodded.
"Yeah, you are girls, well, whatever, come on, I will be your company at this ball, if you don't mind of course," He said and she smiled a little.
"I don't mind, you are my assistant after all," She replied.
"Don't get used to that, I am only doing this for now," He said and she scoffed.
"I know, no need to put it on repeat mode, I get it," She replied and he chuckled.
"Come on," He said and both of them went to join the others, who were waiting for them.
When Mikala saw the two together, she smiled brightly as she looked at them and Zack glanced at her.
"Don't stare at them like that, I know that you like them but it is clear that they are not a couple so do not say anything out of line," Zack said and Mikala scoffed.
"Chill, a little," She replied and he smiled at her then she looked at them.
"You look amazing, Nessa," Mikala said and Nessa smiled at her.
"Thank you, Mikala, you look really nice as well," She replied and Mikala thanked her.
The dress that Nessa wore was long and the back of it dragged a little on the ground, it was blue in colour with gold designs and flower on the side.
Nessa wore the dress with a long glove and blue shoe and her hair was up in a messy bun, making her look exactly like a princess.
"You guys are just in time, the king is going to make the announcement now," Zack said and Mikala exhaled deeply.
Nessa parted her on her back with a gentle smile on her face and Mikala smiled at her then stepped forward as her father stood in front of everyone, grabbing the crowds attention then he called out her name.
The girl went and stood beside her father, as did her brothers and everyone began mumbling, for they knew it was time for the king to announce who he will choose to be his successor.
The king addressed his subjects and everyone listened to him carefully as he explained why he chose the person he is going to announce, to be his successor and everyone understood him at the time, for he had to do what was best for the kingdom.
'I wonder how they will react when they find out who the next one will be, I have a feeling some will not be satisfied, well let's see,' She thought as her eyes narrowed.
"What do you think is going to happen now?" The demon asked.
"Well, one thing I know for sure is that they will be making a move but when and in what way, that's what we don't know and it is absolutely necessary that we do," She responded and he nodded as she glanced at him and he noticed that she was looking at him but didn't say anything.
The king finally announced the one he wants to be his successor and everyone gasped when they heard it and they began exchanging glances, in surprise and some even wondered whether they were hearing properly or not.
"Now, we wait for reactions," The demon said and Nessa brows furrowed.
She began sensing a slightly strong presence around them and the demon glanced at her as some of the people began asking the king, questions, as well as the others.
'What was that just now? It was suddenly then disappeared,' She thought as she looked around.
"Seems like they are listening to what the king as well as Mikala and the others whom were candidates," The demon said and she sighed.
The girl glanced at Mikala and when she saw that the girl was finally speaking up and finally admitted to everyone that she wanted to be the leader, she smiled a little.
"Finally, she is able to say it out loud, without caring what others would think about her," Nessa said and the demon glanced at her as she felt the part of her body that flowed once in a while, began acting up once again.
'Damn it, not now, I wonder if this has anything to do with the dragon, I have to let him out soon, it's been too long and he should be ready to go,' She thought as her brows furrowed and at the same time, the guests at the ball, began clapping.
"Seems like they are convinced, they have accepted his decision," The demon said as he glanced at Jovan as well as the rest of the council members and noticed, some of them seemed as though they didn't have a problem at all.
"What are you guys doing? Come on, join us in the dance," Mikala said as she approached them and the music began playing as Mikala pulled them both, onto the stage and the king chuckled when he saw that.
"Oh, come on," Nessa said and the demon pulled her closer to him and she flinched as she looked at him and he placed his hand around her as they began dancing.
"You indeed look different but pretty," He said and she glanced at him with a slight smile when she sensed the same strong presence again, as did he and he pulled her a lot closer to him then his eyes narrowed. Your adventure continues at empire
