Ascension of the Monster Queen
Chapter 64 - 64: Mazen's resolve

"Nessa, we are here," The prince said as the carriage came to a halt and both of them got out as a few people looked at them and Nasil came out of the building beside them.

He bowed his head and said, "Your highness, welcome."

When he raised his head again and saw Nessa, his eyes widened and she smirked. Nasil was speechless after that, just standing there, staring like a dummy as the prince looked at him and sighed.

"Hey, do you think I have all day to waste looking at you, stare?" The prince asked and Nasil flinched while smiling nervously then sighed.

"I apologize, your highness," Nasil said as Mazen exited the building, and Nessa smiled as she saw him.

"Nessa," Mazen said as he approached her and the prince glanced at him.

"Mazen, get the prince a cup of tea," Nasil said, and Mazen's brows twitched and he turned to face Nasil.

"Who do you think you are talking to? I am done working for you, go get him tea yourself, I am no one's servant, just you wait and watch, I am going to get really rich and show you, bastard," He replied and Nessa smiled.

"How dare you talk to me like that?" "You're being rude and disrespectful, even to the prince," Nasil said, and Mazen chuckled.

"Do I look like I care?" He asked then looked at Nessa.

"I am getting a new job, Nessa, I will see you around," He said and she smiled.

"Sure, take care," She replied, then he left with a sigh.

'That took guts, I wanted to laugh, but I'm glad I didn't, it served Nasil right,' Nessa thought.

"Who was that?" The prince asked.

"There is no need to be concerned about someone of no value," Nasil responded.

"Hey, don't say that, he worked for you for a long time, I won't call him useless, just another reason for me not to like you," Nessa said, and the prince sighed.

"This is just pointless, come on," He replied as he walked into the building and Nessa looked at Nasil.

"You had better not run that trap of yours, you're already getting on my nerves, I suggest you watch how you speak," She said as she entered the building.

"Your highness, take a seat," Nasil said as the prince sat in the living room and Nessa stood by the door.

"I recommend that you stay put and don't go anywhere, Nessa," The prince said, and she glanced at him before closing the door to the living room.

"Akio," Nessa mumbled and the wolf appeared before her then she crouched down.

"Can you do me a favor?" She asked.

"Sure," He responded.

"I can't hear what they're saying, and if I try anything, that crazy prince might get suspicious; could you listen in for me and then tell me what they talked about later?" She asked.

"Yes, I can; staying in the shadows is fairly easy for me now; I can do it without anyone knowing I'm there; don't worry and be cautious," He responded, and she smiled and patted him on the head, then he vanished within the shadow which he used to enter the living room and started listening to what the prince and Nasil were discussing.

After more than an hour and a half of them talking, Nessa became impatient and sat down on the ground, braced her head against the wall, and closed her eyes because she was tired and wanted to sleep but had a headache to deal with.

When the prince had finished talking to Nasil, he opened the door and saw her standing there; the girl had sensed their approach and stood up before he could open the door.

"Oh, you did manage to wait?" The prince asked as Nessa stared at him.

"Yes, I did, I have pretty strong legs and ways to occupy my time, are we leaving now, your highness?" Nessa asked and he chuckled.

"Yeah, we're going back to the castle now; I still have a lot of work to do, and if you're thinking about going somewhere, I suggest you forget about it," He responded, and Nessa clenched her right fist, wanting to punch him, but forced herself to keep calm.

"Don't worry, I wasn't going anywhere; I'm not the type of person who runs away from problems," She said as she walked out of the building, and he smirked and followed her.

"Your Highness, are you ready to leave now, or do you have more to discuss with Nasil?" Nessa asked as she stood by the carriage door, looking at the prince, and the prince sighed before getting into the carriage, and Nasil looked at Adora, her eyes narrowing, and he flinched before she got into the carriage.

"Bye, Nasil," Nessa said as they took off and he peeked at her then sighed since he had now grown to fear Nessa.

'That girl has a scary look in her eyes,' Nasil thought before returning to his building.

They arrived back at the castle after a short time, and Nessa felt her head spinning as she got out of the carriage, nearly falling, but the prince grabbed her by the waist and held her up, and she looked at him with her vision blurring.

"My lady," Akio called out, but no one heard him except Nessa.

"Sorry," Nessa apologized as she moved away from the prince, who was staring at her.

"Hey, are you okay?" He asked, and she sighed as she wiped her eyes, and her vision returned to normal.

"Yeah, I am fine, thank you," She responded and he smiled at her then patted her on the shoulder and she glanced at him as he walked away, then sighed and followed him into the castle.

'He is weird, I am still surprised he can smile like an innocent person, hardly anyone would suspect someone with a smile like his, he is lucky to have a nice uncle, one that loves him like his own, not everyone has that, damn it, how much longer do I have to put up with him?' Nessa wondered as she sat down in the living room, then braced her head back against the couch letting out a sigh.
