Ascension of the Monster Queen

After some deliberation, it was decided that they would check the prince's office late at night when he would not be present.

"Nessa," The prince said as he entered the kitchen and she looked at him while drinking the glass of wine.

"You seem to be relaxing a little too much, are you still not feeling well?" He asked as she fixed her gaze on him.

"I am perfectly fine, a little wine won't kill, is there something that I can help you with?" She asked and he clenched his fists.

"I told you to watch your tone with me; don't make me repeat myself or I'll deny you the privilege of meeting the king, am I clear?" Tina looked at Nessa, who was squeezing the glass, and then got up and took the glass from Nessa's hand, and Nessa sighed.

"Crystal clear, your highness, is there anything I can do for you?" She asked and he sighed.

"You are such a...," He responded.

"Go ahead," Nessa said.

"Look I don't have time for this, get me my food, it's after lunch already and I have got things to do," He replied and she left staring at him then scoffed.

"I will get you your food," She said then took his food out and he left then kitchen then Nessa sighed.

"He's acting out, he's on edge, be careful," Tina said, and Nessa smiled at her before leaving with the prince's food and taking it to the living room where he sat and she placed the tray of food in front of him, and he looked at her.

"Thank you," He said.

"You are most welcome; is there anything else you require, your highness?" She asked.

"Nothing else, I have other things to deal with like that idiotic guy, Nasil," He responded.

"If he is an idiot, why are you doing business with him?" She asked and he glanced at her and then scoffed.

"Damn, you really are something else," He responded. "Sometimes in this line of business you have to work with people you don't even like, it's life."

"Well, whatever business you have with him, it appears to be a pretty stressful one; perhaps you should sit down, have a glass of wine, and think things through; now I have other work to do as well, your highness," She said as she walked away.

"Hey," He said then she came to a halt and turned to look at him.

"Yes," She replied.

"You are really weird, the more I think about it, are you going to see the king again?" He asked.

"Yes, I'm weird; there's nothing wrong with that, and yes, I'm going to see the king again, can't I?" She asked as he fixed his gaze on her.

"Go on, I feel like talking to you right now is causing brain cell damage; I can't keep up," He responded, and the other servants around him wanted to laugh, and Nessa scoffed before leaving with a sigh.

'Damn, he's a pain to deal with,' She thought as she went to the king's room, then entered and saw him standing up by the balcony door, and she left staring at him before smiling.

"Your highness," She said then he turned to look at her and smiled.

"I made it here," He replied as she locked the door, then approached him and sighed, feeling a bit more relieved.

"I am glad, this proves you are improving at a fast rate, can I ask you something?" She asked, lowering her head.

"Sure, what is it?" He asked.

"Let's not tell the prince you're getting better; if possible, we'll surprise him when you're fully recovered." He smiled and patted her on the shoulder after she responded.

"I like that idea, let's do that, I would like to see his face then," He said and she sighed then smiled at him before looking outside.

While looking at the city, the king sighed, then looked at Nessa.

"Nessa," He said and she looked at him.

"Yes," She replied and he sighed.

"Can I ask for another favor?" He asked.

"Sure, what is it?" She asked.

"Can you get me ice cream?" He asked and she smiled.

"Is that all?" While looking at him smiling, she asked.

"Yes, that's all, I feel like having that today since things are sort of going well for me," He responded.

"Good, I'm glad you're getting back to being yourself once again; I'll get you the ice cream; it'll be night soon, you have to get dinner and so on, so I'll bring it back," She said and he grinned.

"Thank you," He replied.

"You're welcome, well, I'll get going, it's almost night and I have other things to take care of, I'll bring you dinner in a few minutes, also you are getting better at a fast rate so don't push yourself to get hurt now, got it?" He chuckled when she asked.

"Got it," he responded before she smiled and exited his room.

The king was relieved to see that he was improving because he didn't want to die and wanted to see those around him grow, especially his family, whom he was eager to see.

Nessa felt her head spinning as she walked back to the kitchen to get the king's dinner, so she braced herself against a wall and took a deep breath before exhaling deeply.

[Master, you should get some rest.]

"I will as soon as I finish this, I have a lot to do and can't leave it off, oh, I have a question, do I have any kind of poison resistance?" Nessa asked.

"You haven't unlocked it yet, you have a lot of abilities that aren't being used, I'd like for you to use them, that's one reason I want you to return to the town, they'll put it to use since there is a lot of building going on and you want to help them in any way you can," Miss Notice replied, and Nessa chuckled before rising from the wall and heading to the kitchen.

The girl began preparing the king's dinner despite feeling lightheaded as a result of her lack of sleep and stress.
