Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 285: His people

Nessa never wanted to kill anyone, but she knew that some people couldn't stay within their lives or they would endanger the innocent; everyone has their own reasons for doing things, and some have to do it even if they don't want to while other just do it.

As Nessa approached the king, he smiled at the girl he had killed and she sighed before lowering her head.

The other approached Nessa and Sophia hugged her tightly from behind as Isamu and Terou appeared before them, and Nessa chuckled then smiled at Sophia and she grinned before releasing her, after which Nessa patted Terou and Isamu on the head and they bowed, and she exhaled deeply as they looked at the shambles that had been created by the fight.

"We have a lot of cleaning up to do," The prince said as the members of the guild exchanged glances and the knights approached them then looked at their king.

"Your highness," The captain of the knights said and the king sighed, then sat up and braced back on a broken apart wall then looked at Nessa.

"You are someone who knows a bit about us and wants us to fall apart, who are you?" He asked as she looked at his wound and how bad it was.

"You don't need to know anything about me, this wouldn't have happened if you had just backed off you know," She responded and he chuckled.

"If I did, I would have died an entirely different way, it's better this way, it's not like you care, but I don't blame you for what you had to do Nessa, listen to me carefully, this fire that you might get yourself caught in, it's one that can engulf the entire world if it's not stop, you don't know the half of it, this is not just one person, just know that powerful people are in this, I can't tell you anything else other than that, any place in chaos, know that it's them, good luck, all of you," He said as he took his final breath.

Nessa then exhaled deeply and went to him then close his eyes before turning around to look at the others.

"We will give them a proper burial, no dead deserve to be treated bad, no matter who it is," She said and the prince smiled at her then nodded before looking at the people within the guild who were muttering about what they will do now that they don't have a king.

The prince then looked at Nessa and she smiled at him before patting him on the shoulder, then he sighed and stood before all of them with Nessa by his side since she was part of his proof of him being who he was.

"Guys, can I have your attention please?" The prince asked, but they were all busy talking and Nessa's right brow twitched in irritation.

"II will handle this," Nessa said and the prince glanced at her then her whip appeared in her hand and she hit it on the ground so hard that they all heard it and turned towards them and she smiled.

"Good, listen to what he has to say please, people's patience can only last for so long," Nessa said and Yonja chuckled as the others smiled.

"Go on, tell them what you need to, no one will interrupt what you have to say and I will make sure of it," Nessa said as she looked at everyone with a gentle smile on her face and the prince chuckled then patted her on the shoulder.

"I have something important to tell all of you and I would like if you could pay close attention, this man here, the king and queen never left this kingdom in his hands, he works for very bad people and he was on a mission for them, the ones he worked for killed the king and queen and sent him here to get the green diamond, the one that the royal family always protected," He said and the captain of the knights gasped and the people began muttering.

The prince looked at them as they talked and the knights lowered their heads and the prince sighed as the captain approached him.

The prince as well as the others knew they would have many questions and he intended to answer it all in time.

"So that's why you guys were fighting, but, how do you guys know all of this?" The captain asked and Nessa glanced at him.

"Because I am the king and queen's son, the true heir to the throne," He responded and the captain's eyes widened as he stared at him and everyone gasped, not knowing what to say next.

"How are you the son when they have never mentioned anything about you before?" The captain asked and Nessa sighed then stepped forward.

"He will explain to you guys, first to clear your doubts, we will show you the proof, I am one myself, he is the prince and I am the one that met his parents just before they died," Nessa said as the people looked at them and the prince then showed them all the proof he had.

After seeing all of the proof that they had, it cleared their doubts and they were all happy to know that he was the prince and they all bowed before him and he flinched and was about to move back, but Nessa placed her hand on his back and he looked at her then she smiled as Yonja and the others bowed as well as the knights.

"Don't, they are your people now, your responsibility, I respect you, but I won't bow, if that's okay?" She asked and he smiled and then nodded.

"That's okay with me, I have no problem with that, you have supported me all this way, your respect is more than enough and we have a lot to discuss," He responded and she chuckled then he smiled and looked at his people before taking a deep breath.

The prince was not accustomed to getting that much attention from anyone, but he knew that now everything was different, he was no longer living within the shadows that he was in for all those years and he had to change if he wanted to protect his people and that's exactly what he intended to do.
