Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 54: Job

After a long walk, they arrived at the castle, whose yard was ormous, and the castle was large and beautiful, with flower gards and other lovely features.

Wh Nessa arrived at the castle's gate, one of the guards stopped her while the others stared at her.

"Did I do something wrong?" She asked with a soft tone.

"No, but what brings you here?" "Are you the prince's guest?" Wh the guard asked, she smiled as his cheeks flushed.

"No, I am not; I am here to apply for the position of maid," She responded, and the guard sighed.

"Sorry, go inside the castle, the others will show you a, the prince will judge you himself, no one else has gott the job because of how strict he is," The guard said and she smirked.

"Thank you," She replied, th left as they stared at her and Akio hid within her shadow so he could not be se by anyone.

After tering the castle, Nessa looked at the beautiful interior and designs within it wh a girl dressed in a maid's uniform approached her and Nessa looked at her th smiled.

"Are you here for the job?" Nessa nodded wh the maid asked.

"Such a beauty and this job, that's just sad, come on, the prince is here so he can judge you right away, just be brave, answer his questions, don't be rude, and everything should be fine, try not to let him scare you," The girl explained, and Nessa sighed as they followed her quietly through the hallways until they came to a large door, which the maid oped.

"This is his office," She said as Nessa tered, th the girl closed the door and Nessa exhaled deeply.

'I have a bad feeling about this, but now that I'm here, there's no turning back; I need to get this over with as soon as possible or this won't d well for any of us,' Nessa thought.

"I can't see you if you're just standing by the door, come here," A guy said and Nessa looked at the curtains as they blew up and noticed a balcony there, so she approached it, and a guy turned to look at her, and she looked at him.

He was tall, with a slim face, fair complexion, blue eyes, and had dark hair that brushed his neckline and was slim.

"Are you the one who wants the job?" He asked.

"Yes, your highness," She responded, lowering her head and swallowing as she felt his gaze follow her body from head to toe.

'I'm going to rip his eyes out,' She thought.

"You may raise your head, let me get a good look at that face of yours," He said, and she did, and he smirked while staring at her face.

"You are pretty, this is interesting, you would make a fine pet," He said and she looked at him.

"You're also brave to look at me like that," He said.

"Your highness, am I getting the job or not?" She asked as he approached her and started walking a her in circles.

"Interesting indeed, normally all the girls are afraid of me, fine, I will keep you, you will be useful, get me a hot cup of coffee," He said as she lowered her head and exited his office, and the maid who was waiting outside smiled at her.

"Come on, I will show you to the kitch," The girl said as she walked away and Nessa followed her.

"Where has the king gone?" Nessa asked, and the maid smiled.

"Don't ask that for him to hear, the king is sick, he is taking care of the kingdom for the time being, he is scary," The girl responded as they arrived at the kitch and Nessa sighed.

Nessa didn't ask her any more questions after that, and she showed her a the kitch and everything else she needed to do so that if he asked for something, Nessa wouldn't have to go look for it at the time, she would know exactly where to find his needs.

Wh Nessa finished making the coffee, she took it to his office and he glanced at her th she handed him the coffee as he sat in the balcony.

"Let's see how this is, if it's not good, th you are useless," He said as he sipped it and she smirked.

'I make my coffee in differt and better ways that I learned back home; if you complain, you're an idiot,' Nessa thought as she looked at him th he smiled.

"So, am I completely useless?" She asked.

"No, you're not, it's better than the ones I usually have, you'd make a good mistress," He responded and her brows furrowed as she collected the cup.

"If that's all, I'd like to get back to work," She said.

"A girl who would rather work than spd time with me? Do you have a room here as yet?" He asked.

"I have a place to stay, I just came here to work, and I will not accept anything other than my paymt, your highness," She responded and he chuckled.

"We'll see about that, get back to work," He said, smirking as she bowed her head and exited his office.

She mumbled, "I'm going to smite him."

[That's not a good idea; I don't think his inttions are right wh it comes to this kingdom or you, master; be careful, he doesn't have a good inttion, you're pretty.]

"Don't worry, I'll be fine, I'll look after myself, and I still have Akio," She said.

"I won't rely on that too much, he's asleep," Miss Notice replied and Nessa chuckled.

"Go easy on him, he's be watching me since I got here," She said, and Miss Notice sighed.

"Also, master, will you give me a name?" Miss Notice inquired, and Nessa smiled.

"I'll think about giving you one," She replied.

"Master, just because you're not overpowered doesn't mean you're not powerful, you do understand that right?" Nessa smiled as she asked.

"I understand that, thank you; I know wh I get an extra skill that's just an addition to my already existing abilities, you did a great job explaining those," Nessa responded, and the system sighed in relief as Nessa returned to her maid duties.
