Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 273: Through the path

The king and his fiancee's minions were surrounding the place where they held the others captured, waiting to see whether Nessa or the others would come to rescue them or not and they even had a sweet little surprise for them, one which could cause the loss of a life.

Nessa looked at the others and the prince sighed since now they knew where the others were being held.

"Nessa, shall we just go ahead and look for them?" Yonja asked and Nessa sighed before lowering her head.

"Yeah, I just don't know what this will lead to, I mean one can never know, but you can't be too careful," She responded and Yonja smiled at her as they were about to leave and Isamu appeared before them and they looked at him.

"You guys have to take a path beside the castle, there is one through the woods and there are also a few monsters there so it's not going to be easy to get through there," Isamu said and Sophia sighed.

"This is just great, couldn't be better, what should we do when we don't even know our way through there?" Sophia asked and the prince glanced at her then Isamu sighed.

"Don't worry, we will guide you guys, you can depend on us at times, that's not such a bad thing," Isamu said then Nessa patted him on his head and he bowed his head before taking off and Nessa as well as the others followed him without saying another word, wondering if they will be able to make it in time to save the others.

After a few minutes of walking, they arrived at the woods not far away from the castle and Nessa and the others looked at how big the trees were and how thick the woods beyond them were as well.

"Let's go," Nessa said as she took the one and only path that they saw.

While walking down the path, they were all cautious since they didn't know what was ahead of them or if there were any traps set by the king and his minions for them.

Isamu and Terou walked ahead of Nessa since they wanted to protect them and while doing so, they looked around them to be sure nothing was approaching them from any direction, the chances of them sensing any incoming danger from beforehand was higher with them than with the others.

Nessa looked up at the tall trees as the sunlight reflected on their leave and she smiled then exhaled deeply as the fresh wind blew against her face and that's when Isamu and Terou as well as the others sensed something big heading towards them and both of them began growling and Nessa glanced at them.

"I wonder what they may be," The prince said and Nessa looked around them and their eyes widened when they saw a giant snake and the prince closed his eyes and took a deep breath then scoffed.

"I am going to handle this," He said as he lifted his right hand up in the air and before the snake could even attack them, he jumped up in the air and released a wind blade which slashed the snake's head off and Nessa looked at it as it came tumbling to her feet and the others glanced at her.

"Great..." She mumbled after the prince landed on his feet and she glanced at him then he smiled.

"Sorry," He said.

"You don't have to apologize, you got rid of it, that's all that really matters right about now, let's just keep going for now," She replied as she walked ahead and they followed her.

"We will be on the look out for more threats, this is the woods, it won't be short of them," Terou said and Nessa smiled at him as Isamu focused on the scent of the three just to make sure that they were not off track and were going the right way.

After a while of walking and bumping into a few different creatures which were not strong and which were also defeated quite easily, they finally arrived at the location which was actually of an old house.

"Lady Nessa, there are at least more than fifteen men here, not including the three," Isamu said as the others exchanged glances and the prince lowered his head before clenching his fists.

"We have to rescue them without much of a problem, where are they being held?" The prince asked and Isamu glanced at him.

"At the entrance just before the stairs, that's all the info the we can get from here, it's all blurry due to a energy wave, similar to the king's presence," Terou responded and the prince sighed then walked ahead and Yonja grabbed onto his shoulder and he looked back at him.

"What's the matter?" The prince asked.

"We are a team, we will be going in there together to rescue them or we won't go at all," Yonja responded and the prince sighed then smiled.

"I understand that, come on, let's get them out of there and back where they belong," He said and the others nodded.

"In case we get into some unexpected trouble and need help or so on, I want you guys to stay back here, hide in the shadows in the meantime, can you do that?" Nessa asked and both, Terou and Isamu looked at her.

"Sure, as long as you guys stay safe, we will stay within the shadows and if you guys need us we will be there within the blink of an eye to help you, we won't let you down, that you can count on," Isamu responded and Terou nodded, then Nessa smiled and patted them both on their heads before walking away with the others then they disappeared within the shadows.

As they were approaching the building's entrance, they were suddenly surrounded by a bunch men and the prince glanced at them, then one of them opened the door to the house and they all entered and the prince's eyes widened when he saw the others were chained up and against a wall and they were bleeding but their injuries were not major and he sighed in relief of that part.
