Ascension of the Monster Queen

"Good morning, Akio, I have to get to the castle," She replied and he looked at her as she grabbed her clothes and went to freshen up. exclusive-content-MvLeMpYr

While Nessa was taking a bath, Eli awoke and yawned, then noticed Akio standing by the couch and jumped because she wasn\'t used to seeing him.

"Good morning," She mumbled as she wiped her eyes, and he looked at her before taking a seat.

\'She seems a little lazy to me,\' Akio thought as he looked at Eli, who smiled and he closed his eyes.

A while after, Nessa finished her morning routine, she got dressed and exited the bathroom.

"Nessa, good morning," Eli said.

"Good morning, Eli, I need to get to the castle to check on things, I\'m leaving Akio here with you and Mazen will probably be here soon, you guys need to keep an eye on every ship that comes in, isn\'t that what he\'s coming with?" Nessa inquired.

"Yes, and I know which one he\'ll be arriving with, the first one at noon, don\'t worry, I\'ll help in any way I can, you get to the castle," Eli replied and Nessa smiled.

"I will, oh, breakfast, I will be right back," Nessa said before going down to the lounge to get everyone breakfast and bringing it back up to the room.

"Guys, here\'s some food for you to eat," Nessa said before feeding Akio, who bowed his head and thanked her before she patted him.

"Are you not eating?" Eli inquired.

"I don\'t have time for that, it\'s getting late, almost 10 am, I will see you guys later," She responded as she opened the door and saw Mazen standing there then he smiled and she sighed.

He said, "Good morning."

"Good morning, I have to leave, there is breakfast if you want, and Mazen, I suggest you help take care of them," She replied as she dashed out the door, and he chuckled before entering the room and greeting both of them good morning before sitting down while Eli went to freshen up.

When Nessa arrived at the castle, she sighed and went straight to the kitchen, where she saw Tina and a few other servants preparing breakfast.

"Good morning guys, I apologize for being late," Nessa said, and Tina smiled brightly, knowing Nessa was able to save the princess, and she rushed over to hug the girl tightly.

"You made it, I am glad," Tina said and Nessa patted her on her back then she raised off of the girl and sighed.

"I\'m sorry, it\'s just that I was really worried about you guys, with everything that was going on and the prince is very angry, he and his father has been going at it for the past hour, they are going to give me a migraine, hell, I might start getting gray hair at a young age," She replied, and Nessa chuckled.

"I understand, take a deep breath and relax a little, I need the king\'s breakfast, I\'m going to check on him to see how he is doing," She said and Tina sighed.

"Got it, I\'ll get his food, and I think you should make him his coffee, I drank the coffee you made and it\'s great," Tina replied, and Nessa smiled before starting work.

After they finished preparing the king\'s breakfast, Nessa took it to his room and knocked on his door.

"Come in," He said and she entered.

"Good morning, Nessa," He said.

"Good morning, your highness, breakfast," She replied as she placed it down by the bed and he sighed.

"Thank you, Nessa, the coffee smells really good," He said and she smiled.

"You are welcome, now go on and eat, you need to," She replied and he nodded then began eating his breakfast.

The prince barged into the room while the king was eating, and they looked at him.

He said, "Good morning, uncle."

"Good morning, what\'s the matter?" The king asked.

"I came here looking for Nessa; do you mind if she comes with me for a minute or two?" He inquired, and the king looked at Nessa, who furrowed her brows while glaring at the prince, and the king left staring at her, realizing that the prince and Nessa were not getting along with each other.

"Of course, Nessa, go with him." The king said, and she sighed, smiled, and walked away with the prince.

"Do you need something, your highness?" She asked.

"My father wants to talk with you a bit about a few things, that\'s all," He responded and she looked at him.

"I see, well then I don\'t mind entertaining him a bit," She said and he glanced at her as they entered the living room and his father looked at her then she bowed her head.

"You can both sit," He said then they sat down and the prince sighed.

"Nessa, how long have you been in this kingdom?" The man asked.

"Not long, months," She responded.

"Why are you here?" He asked.

"I was here to start over, a new life and I needed a job," She responded.

"Is that it?" He asked, his eyes narrowing as he stared at her, and she smiled.

"Of course, that\'s all, I have nothing else here, not even a family," She responded and he scoffed.

"I don\'t even understand, why am I being interrogated?" Nessa inquired.

"You aren\'t; I\'m just asking a few simple questions; there\'s no need to feel like that kid; you are an odd one in the bunch, you are an interesting person, in a few ways, tell me, where are you from, Nessa?" He asked, and she smiled.

"Far from here, I don\'t give strangers my address, especially when I know there is no need to, I would appreciate it if you could tell me what\'s this really about," She replied, knowing the man was on to her, but she needed to get rid of them so she didn\'t care.
