Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 57: Simple favor

The king had no idea what she meant, but he was curious as to why she had be warned because he knew she was a nice person to have a ev though he had just met her.

"Warned?" The king asked.

"Yes, by the prince, he warned me not to stay in here too long, he can be quite frighting at times," She responded.

"I see, don't worry about him, you can stay here as long as you want, if I don't mind, th it shouldn't be a problem for him either, I am the king and I like having you to keep me company," He said, and she smiled.

"Thank you, your highness," She replied.

"I should be thanking you for being so nice; I hav't talked this much in a long time, and it feels good if I'm being honest." He said and she laughed, before he continued eating.

Wh the king had finished his meal, Nessa took the tray and he looked at her.

"Nessa," He said, and she turned to face him.

"Yes?" She replied and he sighed.

"May I request a favor for tomorrow?" He inquired.

"Go ahead," She replied.

"Could you try to contact my son? I'd like to see my kids," He said.

"I'll do my best," She replied.

"That's plty for me, good night," He said.

"Good morning, are you going to be okay?" Akio asked as she got out of bed, th smiled at him.

"Good morning Akio and yeah, I will be fine, I have to get to work as well, I will go fresh up," She responded th he sighed and she wt to fresh up.

After Ness finished, she got dressed and wt down to the lounge where she had breakfast with Akio and chatted a bit with the other guests there.

They told Nessa about what had be going on in the kingdom and how they wanted to hear from the king, which she knew wasn't possible at the time but couldn't tell them.

A while later, Akio hid in Nessa's shadow and she left, heading to the castle to start her day working which she was not looking forward to because she had to see the face of the prince whom she only wanted to kill for what he was doing to his own uncle.

Upon arriving at the castle, Nessa wt to the kitch where she made herself a cup of coffee to drink, but while doing so the head maid tered the kitch.

"Good morning, Nessa. Could you please get the prince his coffee and breakfast?" The girl asked as Nessa stared at her.

"Do I have to? Don't I have to take care of the king first?" She asked and the maid smirked.

"I tell you what, you go give the king, his breakfast, pretty sure the prince had things to eat too," The girl responded, Nessa smiled, th began preparing the tray for the king, and wh she finished, she took it to his room.

"Your highness," Nessa said, knocking on the door.

"You can come in," He replied, th she wt into his room and placed his breakfast before him as he sat up on the bed.

"Good morning, your highness," She said before sniffing and he looked at her.

"Good morning, Nessa, thank you for the meal," He replied.

"You're welcome," She said as he began eating, and she sat away from him because she had a cold and didn't want him to get any sicker than he already was.
