Ascension of the Monster Queen

A while after Isamu and Terou had finished eating, Nessa saw shadows moving up on the buildings and a smile appeared on her face as she looked at the guild master, knowing that she had to get him to tell them whether he was the child of the king and queen or not.

While the master was speaking with a few other guild members, others began to leave because the party was now over, and they couldn't go on any longer because it was already close to midnight.

After everyone had left Nessa stood up from her chair when the others approached her and she smiled.

"You are still here," The guild master said.

"Yeah, I wanted to make sure of something before I left," She replied.

"Oh? What's that?" Yonja asked and Nessa smiled at him.

"You will see in a few minutes, come on, I will help you guys close up the guild," Nessa responded and they smiled before going inside while the guild master stood outside, looking up at the night sky.

A smile appeared on his face while doing so, then he sighed in relief of actually having a good night without any work to do.

While looking at the night sky, the guild master's eyes narrowed when he felt someone looking at him and he saw shadows moving about and he gnashed his teeth, remembering a few things from the past.

Out of nowhere, came a lighting attack and the guild master's eyes widened when he turned around and before it could touch him, Nessa jumped before him, hitting the attack right back at its user whom was sent crashing into a building and the others came out of the guild and looked around them.

"Are you guys okay?" Yonja asked and the guild master sighed, then looked at Nessa who nodded and Nessa glanced at him then smiled.

"They expected him to be alone, they won't attack when all of us are here," Yonja said and Nessa nodded.

"True, they won't, let me just make sure they are gone," The guild aster said as he closed his eyes, paying close attention to his surroundings.

"Are they gone?" Niva asked.

"Yeah, they are gone," He responded before lowering his head.

"There is something you need to talk to us about, they are skilled, they won't show themselves and next time will attack you even if we are here, they are strong not weak, they have just been given different orders, you need to talk to us," Nessa said and the guild master looked at her.

"You are right, I do, come on, let's go inside guys, we will talk about this," He replied then they went into the guild and locked the door.

"Look, I have been hiding something all of this time and I didn't know if I should ever tell anyone about after they died," The guild master said as they exchanged glances.

"You are the son of the king and queen, aren't you?" Nessa asked and they all left staring at her, including the guild master.

"H- How did you know?" He asked and Nessa sighed.

"So you really are their son?" Ian asked and the guild master looked at them.

"Yes, I am their son, but how did you find that out Nessa?" The guild master asked as they sat down and Nessa looked at him then smiled.

"You remember the other day when I left Isamu and Terou with you guys here saying that I had to take care of something, right?" Nessa asked and the others looked at her then nodded.

"Good, that day I snuck into the castle looking for something which could help me find out more about their kid, I had my suspicions of the guild master ever since I mentioned the king and queen to him, their death, he looked hurt and was angry, he had that look of losing a love one in his eyes, I wasn't sure of it until now," She responded.

"So you weren't waiting until the party was over for no reason were you?" Yonja asked.

"No, I wasn't and that's because I saw the shadows of those men earlier, then I was sure that it was him, because they were only looking at the guild master and earlier in the castle I heard them, saying that the minute they find out who the child was, they will kill him, they won't waste time to do it, he is sort of a threat," She responded and Yonja and the others sighed.

"So, you would have told us, right?" Sophia asked.

"It wasn't my secret to tell, but I wanted to be sure as well, I hope you guys understand at least that much," She responded and they smiled at her then Yonja patted Nessa on the shoulder.

"It's fine, we understand and you are right, it was not your secret to tell," Yonja said before turning to look at the guild master who just sat there, listening to what they were saying.

"So, do you have anything to say for yourself right about now?" Cortan asked and the guild master sighed before looking at them, not knowing what to say.

"Nessa, you sure are smart, you figured it all out well, most of it at least, I know I owe you all an explanation," He responded and they smiled at him.

"Your parents died, we understand that, believe me, we do, but despite that, we need to know what's going on exactly, we don't understand why you are the guild master and not even known as the prince," Yonja said and he sighed then smiled at them.

"Well, luckily, I know exactly why I am here, I will tell you guys everything but it's already after midnight, are you sure that you don't want to wait until later on in the day?" He asked as they exchanged glances.

"Do you want to wait Nessa or listen now?" Yonja asked and she glanced at the prince and sighed.

"I want to hear it now, I am not sleepy as yet, and I won't take long to sleep either, so you can go ahead and start talking, we will listen carefully, right guys?" She asked and the others nodded then he chuckled while looking at them.
