Ascension of the Monster Queen

Nessa knew they wouldn't let her leave without giving them an answer and she chuckled before looking at Ismau and Terou who stretched off then sat down.

"Don't look at me like that lady Nessa, they are the ones that are asking you the question," Isamu said and Nessa smiled.

"I know and I will talk to them about it now, well, I had a small run in with the king's fiancee," Nessa said as they stared at her and she smiled at them.

"You are not joking?" Yonja asked.

"No, I have no reason to joke about that, she came out of nowhere, we had a little chat, no fighting, she grabbed my neck with her long nails and pressed, due to which this happen and I gave her a bit of pain as well... I will tell you everything from the very start," She responded and they smiled at her.

Nessa began telling them everything that happened from the very start and after telling them, they all sighed, then Niva handed her an ointment and she collected it.

"Well, Nessa if you want us to do something then... Do you want us to rip her head off of her body for you?" Sophia asked as Nessa and the others stared at her with smiles on their faces.

"Do you guys think that is necessary?" Nessa asked.

"Maybe for her it is, who knows," Yonja responded and Nessa chuckled then Yonja patted her on the shoulder after she placed the ointment on the scratch on her neck.

"Nessa, you could have totally taken her out if you wanted right?" Cortan asked and Nessa looked at both of her hands then sighed.

"Uh... I won't be so sure of that Cortan, they are strong, they cannot be underestimated," She responded.

"She is right, since they are working for someone more powerful or working for more than one person then... We have to make or move carefully, it's not good to be overconfident in yourself, there could be a person out there or more than one stronger than you," The prince said and the others nodded then Cortan smiled.

"Yeah, you guys are right, we have to be more careful as well, but this is taking a while is it not? What are they going to do next?" Cortan asked and Nessa glanced at the prince and he looked at her.

"What's the matter?" He asked as she lowered her head.

"They know that you are the son," Nessa said as she remembered when they first tried to attack the prince and they all looked at her then the prince exhaled deeply.

"She is right, the night they tried to attack me, the night of the anniversary party, damn it, this is not going to end well, now that they know they can..." The prince mumbled and Nessa tapped him on the shoulder and he glanced at her.

"You are strong, right?" She asked and he nodded then she smiled at him.

"Good, protect yourself as much as you can, don't forget, you have us by your side as well," She said and he lowered his head, wondering about the danger he might put them in.

The prince wanted his home back but didn't want to have it at the cost of those close to him, due to everything that was happening, he was even more worried than ever before and wanted to refuse their help.

Yonja tapped the prince on his shoulder and he looked at them as they smiled at him.

"You are not thinking about refusing our help are you?" Niva asked and he sighed then Nessa chuckled.

"You can't even if you wanted to, you are worried about us, right?" Nessa asked and he glanced at her then she smiled.

"Yeah," He responded and they looked at each other.

"You don't have to worry about us like this, if we don't do this who knows what might happen, we have to do this for our own survival as well, you won't be responsible for what happens, we made this decision on our own, you just need to relax a bit and let us do what we need to," Ian said as the prince stared at them.

"He is right, you just need to let us do what we do best, we have to help these people, soon enough, everyone will know who you are and believe me, they won't hesitate to accept you, not with the reputation you built for yourself here over the past years, they see someone they can trust without thinking," Nessa said and the prince smiled.

"That sounds very convincing, so much so that I can't think of anything to reply with, nothing to even argue against that," He replied and they laughed as Nessa chuckled then she sighed.

"It was said so you won't have to reply anything, just let things flow and let's handle it together, as long as we have the upper hand, we will be able to win, but if we lose it, a lot will be at risk, we have to think of many more ways to end this," She said and the prince nodded.

"We have to come up with a better plan now that they already know that he is the prince that they were looking for, though, it's getting late, it's already near 10 pm," Cortan replied as Niva stretched off and the prince smiled at them.

"We can do that tomorrow, for now I think you guys should go and have dinner as well as a good night's rest, you all more than deserve it," The prince said.

"All right, we will discuss this tomorrow then but tell me, what are you going to do now?" Nessa asked and the prince smiled as they all stood up.

"I am going to get a drink then head to bed with a barrier around myself, I know they created it around me, to protect me," He responded as they smiled and Nessa chuckled.

"It's better to be safe than sorry, I have learnt that many times, now, we will get going," Nessa said when an idea came to his head and he looked at them then smiled, thinking about having dinner with all of them since he was hungry as well and wanted to spend a bit more time with all of them.
