Chapter 71: Message received
While she was preparing the meal, Akio appeared beside her, and she looked at him as he sighed.
"Are you hungry?" She asked.
"I believe I am," He responded, and she smiled before feeding him, and he began eating while she prepared the king's meal.
"Is he yours?" Tina asked as she entered the kitchen with another servant, and Nessa nodded. Tina patted Akio, who gave her a stern look, and Tina flinched as Nessa smiled nervously.
"What's his name?" Tina asked.
"Akio, he stays at the inn, but he comes to me on occasion," Nessa responded.
"I understand, he loves you, he's cute, but strange, I don't see wolves like him around very often," Tina said, as Nessa sighed.
"I know, he's a special one, different from the other wolves," Nessa replied, and Akio looked at her before she patted him on the head, and he bowed his head before running away because he wanted to appear normal in front of the others.
Akio vanished into the shadows after he left the kitchen, and Nessa had finished preparing the king's meal as night fell.
"I'm going to take this to the king," Nessa said, and Tina smiled before the girl left the kitchen.
Nessa took the tray of things to the king's room, where she noticed him sitting on the couch by his coffee table, and she smiled before placing the tray on the table, and he thanked her before taking his food. She then gave him his medications and sat down on another chair, waiting for him to finish eating so she could return the tray to the kitchen.
After a while of waiting and chatting with the king, he finally finished eating, then took his medication and when he was finished, he went to freshen up and Nessa took the tray back to the kitchen.
"Nessa," Tina said as she rushed into the kitchen and Nessa glanced at her.
"What's the matter, Tina?" She asked.
"The prince just left," She responded and Nessa smiled.
"Are you ready to go?" Nessa asked, and the girl exhaled deeply before nodding, and Nessa smiled as she led the girl out of the kitchen and into the prince's office.
Upon arriving there, Nessa quietly opened the door and Tina went into the office.
"I won't be long, it's better if I get caught than you, you know more about what's going on than any of us," Tina said, and Nessa smiled. Tina then began carefully looking around the office.
While Nessa waited for the girl, Akio appeared beside her, and she looked at him as he closed his eyes and focused his senses to see if anyone was approaching the office.
Tina said, "Nessa," and Akio vanished before she could see him.
"Did you find anything?" As the girl exited the office, Nessa asked. She then showed Nessa two letters with seals on them, and Nessa smiled.
"Yes, let's go," Tina responded, then they left and went to the kitchen, where both of them sat and Tina sighed, relieved that they didn't get caught.

"Do you believe he'll notice it's gone?" Nessa asked.
"There are a bunch of new mails that he hasn't looked through yet, and he won't, here," Tina responded, handing Nessa the letters, and she sighed before opening the first one and smiling.
"The prince is on his way home," She said and Tina smiled brightly.
"Check what's the princess's response, wait, do they actually know what's going on?" Tina asked.
"Not quite, I just told them the king is sick and wants to see them; I couldn't possibly tell them everything in a letter," She responded.
"You are right, now check the other one," Tina said and Nessa opened the next letter then sighed in relief.
"She's coming back as well; my guess is that they'll arrive here tomorrow night or the next day," Nessa responded, and Tina hugged her tightly before sighing.
Nessa then patted the girl on the back before standing up and grabbing the match, which she used to light and burned both letters while Tina smiled.
"There, one more thing completed," Nessa said.
"I'm glad he gave you the job of looking after the king; you're fantastic," Tina replied, and Nessa smiled.
"Well, I'll see you tomorrow because I need to get something," Nessa said.
"All right, good night, Nessa," Tina replied, then both of the girls left the castle.
Nessa remembered that she had promised the king that she would get him ice cream, so she went to the city's ice cream shop and got him the flavor which most people preferred, which was chocolate because she didn't know what flavor the king liked or wanted.
After buying the ice cream, Nessa took it to the castle where she went directly to the king's room and saw him reading a book.
"Your highness," She said after entering his room and he smiled at her.
"It's getting late, Nessa; are you still working?" He asked, and she showed him the ice cream, and he smiled, set the book down, and then collected it.
"Nessa, I am happy but, you didn't have to go get this now," He said, and she smiled.
"You're welcome; I didn't know what flavor you liked or wanted, so I went with the one I knew most people liked," She replied.
"Well, you made the right choice; this is the flavor I wanted; I love chocolate, and not just me a lot of people do; thanks again, it's been a while since I last had this, months, Nessa," He said, and she smiled.
"I see, well now you got it and it's the one you like, you more than deserve it so,you enjoy that, I am going to leave now, I have to get back here to work in the morning, good night and be careful," She replied.
"I think you should take a break, you are quite the busy body but I will, good night kid," He said then she grinned and left his room and he began eating the ice cream.
While Nessa was walking down the stairs to the exit, she noticed the prince entering at the same time and sighed.
