Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 79: Suspicion

Nessa became angry after hearing his warning, but instead of venting her anger on the prince, she chose to wait and sighed in response.

"I get it, your highness, you don't have to worry about me being rude to your father any longer," She said as his eyes narrowed and he sighed.

"Are you trying to be sarcastic here?" He inquired.

"No, I'm not; I'm just telling you what you want to hear," she replied to which he chuckled.

"Can I take your leave if that's all?" She inquired.

"Are you forgetting your place as a maid here because the king has taken quite a liking to you?" He asked and she lowered her head.

"Perhaps I am, and is there anything wrong with that?" He scoffed when she asked.

"Yes, you must remember where you stand," He responded.

"I could say the same thing to you, I guess you are not that different from your father, you both speak the same way, maybe you should take a look at your actions before calling your father names," She said and his eyes widened as she walked away and he sat down on the couch as a smirk appeared on his face.

"Nessa," He said and she came to a halt then turned to face him.

"Your highness," She replied.

"Were you the one who sent the message?" He inquired, and she smiled.

"Find out for yourselves, excuse me," She replied before leaving.

'I have a feeling she is the one that did it, she is smart enough to do it,' The prince thought before leaving his office.

"I will kill her," He said and the prince looked at him.

"Isn't that a bit rash even for you, father?" He asked and the guy chuckled.

"She's something else, I'm starting to think she's the one who sent that message and she's not trying to hide it, check the harbor, the princess is already here and there are men looking for her, the prince must be coming as well, we will kill them all," He responded and the prince glanced at him before smiling.

"Are you certain that's the decision you want to make right now, father?" He inquired, and his father looked at him before patting him on the shoulder.

"Get the princess by night and find out where that Nessa is staying, you never know what you might find, also keep an eye out for the prince, he loves to cause problems, he is not that different from his father," He responded and the prince chuckled.

"As you wish father." He then left to find the princess and dispatched men to see if the prince had entered the city.

The prince and his men were on high alert throughout the city that day, while Eli, Mazen, and Akio waited at the harbor to see if the prince had arrived.

While waiting, they noticed Nasil's men at the harbor and Eli sighed.

"Do you think they found out about my brother?" Eli asked, and Mazen looked at her then sighed.

"I doubt it," He responded, "but they must have their suspicions because they know you're here, and they suspect your brother might be as well." Eli sighed as they waited.

While they waited, Nessa looked after the king and mixed the healing potion she made into his drinks to help him heal faster; she was aware that they would find out about her assistance to the king, but she didn't mind because she wanted them to.

Nessa planned on exposing them in front of the king after helping the princess and prince whose lives were in danger.

In this world, Nessa had decided to be the change that most people needed, regardless of the fact that most of them were monsters that stood by her side so far. story-source-MVLeMpYr

Later that day, just before nightfall, the prince arrived, and Eli smiled brightly upon seeing her brother, but Nasil's men were still waiting at the harbor, and it would be difficult for them to get the prince away from there without them seeing him, especially since there were more of them this time and they were not much of them but they didn't know how powerful Akio was, capable of protecting all of them at once.
