Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 52: Most needed

Let me show you what we can do, and there is nothing that those who do not have a single pny can do." As he approached the slave girl, he grabbed her hair and pulled her towards him.

"She is pretty, anything can be done to her, she can be abused in a manner only m joy right here and no one can do anything about it, that's how worthless they are, you can slap them and ev tramp on them," He said as he slapped the girl to the g and stomped on her hand while laughing.

Maz's eyes trembled not being able to look at that as Nessa clched her fists while staring at the guy in pure anger.

"I suggest you stop or I'll kill you," Nessa said as they all looked at her.

"What did you just say, little bitch? Do you want me to call the guards?" He asked as he approached Nessa.

"No, please," Maz said, about to move wh his boss's m grabbed him.

"Do you want me to make you my personal pet or my boss's pet or kill you right now?" His boss shouted as he was about to grab Nessa's face, and she grabbed his hand, rang it back, kicked him to the g, and Maz gasped as the m let him go and wt to assist their boss.

"Kill her," The boss ordered, and before the m could touch Nessa, Akio transformed and roared as everyone looked on in horror, and he hit the boss and his m into a house, th Maz grabbed Nessa by the arm and ran away as the rain began to fall, and Akio transformed back into his small, cute form and jumped into her arms, and she smiled at him.

Since they didn't want to get caught, they wt to the inn where Nessa was staying because that was close by. Upon arriving there, drched, they wt up to her room, locked the door and sighed before sitting down.

"Are you all right?" Maz asked, th looked at Akio and Nessa smiled.

"Yeah, I am fine, are you?" She asked and he nodded before sighing.

"You could say that certain things in life are just horrible, you cannot survive without certain things here anymore, lately things have changed a bit too much here, it was unexpected, I don't know what the king is thinking but whatever it is, it's no good, this place has never be like this before, it's like he doesn't care what happs to us anymore, you cna't go on living without one thing and to be precise, money..." He responded, and she looked at Akio before turning to Maz and patting him on the shoulder.

"Believe me, I understand, because money is everything in some places, they treat others like trash," She said, and he looked at her.

"Can you tell me about your wolf?" What exactly are you? "I'm a little puzzled," He replied, and she sighed.

"That's understandable, well, I'm not from a here, I have a few monster frids who some people think don't deserve to have rights over their own lives or ev deserve to live appartly, this is one, he is a dire wolf or used to be and he is also my bodyguard and I am here on a mission to make a few lives better for those who are treated poorly," She explained as he stared at her.

"First and foremost, I have no issues with monsters; I'm only afraid of the evil ones, and if you don't mind me asking, what kind of mission?" He asked.

"Let's just say I'm here to form an alliance with the royals, specifically your king, but after seeing what's be going on here lately and hearing what you had to say about him not seeming to care anymore, that has got me thinking about other things and something doesn't seem right," She responded and he lowered his head.

"I think something is wrong as well," He said and she looked at him.

"Well, you have be here longer than I am, so you would know better, what exactly do you think is wrong, Maz?" He sighed as she asked.

"Lately, more than the king, I have be delivering things to his nephew, Ranark," He responded and her brows furrowed.

"Has the king be se rectly?" She asked.

"Not that I'm aware of; the king hasn't made any public appearances in months," He responded.

[It's possible that the king has no idea what's going on, a little reminder master, this kingdom is rich as well, and there's a lot to be gained from controlling it; it's not as large as the other rich kingdoms, but it's good ough.]

"I see, well, this is definitely a problem, we need to figure out what's going on," She said as he stared at her.

"You are really serious about this, ar't you?" He asked.

"Yes, I am, now you can stay here for the night, I don't mind, there are things in my bag to eat if you are hungry, take and eat, I have got no problem with that, just don't be shy like earlier, I owe you for causing you so many problems in less than a day," She responded as she got up and wt to fresh up, th Maz sighed and laid back against the couch in the room while Akio looked at him and he smiled at the wolf.

"I can't believe I found a creature I'm afraid of cute, it doesn't matter, it's a fact, she seems like an amazing person as well, you are lucky, she doesn't seem to care about what others things, it would be great to have a frid like her," Maz said as Nessa showered, th Akio stood up, grabbed the bag with his mouth, and handed it to Maz who looked at him as he stared at the bag.

"Oh, you're hungry," He said, th took things for Akio to eat that Nessa had bought and gave them to him. Akio bowed his head, showing gratitude, and Maz smiled, patted him on the head, and he started eating.
