Ascension of the Monster Queen

"What it is?" He asked.

"I want you to surprise them today; I\'ll set everything up, and one of the servants will come to get you when the time comes; is that okay?" He smiled after she asked.

"That\'s perfectly fine, I am looking forward to seeing their reactions," He responded.

"I have a surprise for you as well, one that will be the most pleasing," She said as he stared at her.

"A surprise? I am getting impatient now, I will wait to see what that is," He replied and she smiled.

"Good," She said as she waited on him to finish eating.

After some time, the king finished eating, and she collected the tray and left the room, returning to the kitchen to find Tina was not there.

"Guys, where is Tina?" She asked.

"She went to help do something," One of the servants responded and Nessa sighed.

"All right, thank you," She said.

"You are welcome," The servant replied as Nessa made herself a cup of coffee and sat down and drank it.

Later that day, while working in the kitchen, Nessa noticed Tina enter with Akio and the others and smiled.

"Did you guys get seen by chance?" She asked.

"Nope, they didn\'t, I made sure of it," Tina responded.

"Good," Nessa said as a servant rushed into the kitchen and they looked at her.

"What\'s the problem?" Tina inquired as the young lady panted.

"Nasil\'s men are heading this way and the castle guards are nowhere to be found, I think they sent them home for today, I heard that the prince requests her presence in the throne room," The girl responded and Tina sighed then looked at Nessa.

"I\'ll go meet them in the hallway by accident, you guys follow a little later, and Tina, go bring the king for the surprise in the throne room, night is approaching as well," She said.

"Got it," Tina said then left and Nessa left the kitchen as well.

Nessa ran into Nasil\'s men as she walked down the corridor, and she smiled as she looked at them.

"I\'m sorry," She apologized, and the guy scoffed.

"We were on our way to get you, the prince and his father would like to see you in the throne room now," One of the men replied, and Nessa sighed.

"Fine, lead the way," She said as they walked ahead of her, and she followed before turning around and seeing Akio and the others, who were quietly following them.

They arrived at the throne room a while later, and the men opened the door, and she entered, her eyes narrowing as she saw the prince\'s father by the throne, and they both looked at her as she entered.

"Nessa," The prince said as he approached her, and she looked at him.

"Your highness," She replied.

"We discovered the truth," He said.

"And what could that be?" She asked.

"You know exactly what it is, you\'re the one who sent the messages to the prince and princess, we know they\'re both here, we also know you helped them escape, you can pay for this with your life, you know, or just tell us where they are," He responded, and she smiled and looked at him.

"Why would I do that? You can\'t take my life, even in your dreams," She said and he chuckled.

"Now that\'s funny, you\'re just a weak little girl, don\'t mess with us, give us what we want, and you can walk away with your life and money to better your life," His father replied, and she sighed.

"First and foremost, I am not a weak little girl, your offer is crap and won\'t benefit me in any way," She said, and he chuckled as Tina approached the others who were hiding by the door, looking into the throne room, and the king left staring at his children.

"Kids," He said and they smiled, then hugged him and he hugged them tightly.

"It\'s good to see you are well, father, Nessa sent us the message," Leon said and the king patted them on the head while smiling.

"I suppose this was her surprise; this is the best, shall I go in?" When he asked, Eli grabbed his hand.

"No, father, we need you to keep looking and listening to their conversation, you\'ll be surprised," Eli responded and he sighed, and then did as they told him to.

"Then, if our offer  is crap, what offer will you accept?" Nessa sighed after his father asked.

"Listen carefully, I have no intention of listening to or accepting anything from you guys; all I have to say is that you will never get what you want here, you caused the king so much pain, do you think people will accept you just like that?" Nessa inquired, and the man chuckled as the king\'s brow furrowed while carefully listening.

"I don\'t care what you think, I can kill you right where you are, you\'re lucky I\'m even giving you a bloody chance to live, my brother deserved that, I am the one who was supposed to be king, not him, he got everything while I got nothing," He responded, and Nessa chuckled.

"You are doing this for money, power, and total control, you are jealous of him because he is better than you, you can never be like him; the people will never accept you as their king; and your selfishness will bring you down." She said as the prince was about to hit her but she grabbed onto his hand and looked at him.

"Don\'t even think about it or you will lose an arm, don\'t tempt me, it won\'t end well for you and I am not joking around with you so I suggest that you move aside, you will get hurt if you don\'t," She said then shoved him aside.

"Fine, if this is how it\'s going to be then you can go to hell, I am going to find those two myself and kill them along with the precious king," He shouted and Nessa smiled at him. experience-MVLeMpYr
