Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 74: The daughter

After Nessa finished speaking with Tina, she returned to work while the prince searched for the person who sent the message to the princess, which he was very angry about and was becoming even more enraged because he wasn't getting any information about who did it.

Later that afternoon, while Nessa was washing the dishes in the kitchen, the prince entered and she and Tina both looked at him.

Tina bowed her head and said, "Your highness."

"I have a question for both of you," He said.

"What is it, your highness?" Nessa asked.

"We kept the king's illness from his children for various reasons; did any of you send the princess a message about it?" He asked.

"How could we when we don't even know how to get in contact with them?" Tina asked.

"Exactly, we don't even know them, and we had no idea they didn't know," Nessa said and the prince sighed.

"Are you certain? Have you heard anything recently about the royals within this castle?" The prince asked, and they exchanged glances.

"I've been coming in every day, so no, what about you, Nessa?" Tina asked, and Nessa sighed.

"Unfortunately, I've been a little too busy to even pay attention; I even went out on business with the prince, so I haven't heard anything," She responded and the prince poured himself a glass of juice and drank it.

"Well, Nessa is correct, she was mostly busy, so that's it, I've reached a dead end with this, keep doing your work," He then exited the kitchen, and the two exchanged glances before sighing.

"It's getting late; I'll take the king's dinner to him, then go to the harbor and have someone check the road for the arrival of the princess; she's a blonde, right? The one in the picture with the king in his room?" Nessa asked.

"Yeah, that's her," Tina responded before Nessa sighed and walked away with the king's food.

After Nessa took the king's food to him, he ate and she gave him his medications.

When he was finished, she wished him a good night and returned the tray to the kitchen.

"Are you leaving right now?" Tina asked.

"Yeah, I am," She responded.

"Good luck and take care, Nessa," Tina advised, and Nessa smiled at her.

"I will be, don't worry," Nessa replied and the girl smiled then Nessa left the castle.

While on the way to the harbor, Akio appeared beside Nessa, who looked at him and sighed.

"Can you go to the main road, which is the next exit and entrance?" Nessa asked. ?%??&?!?-??$--

"That's not far from the harbor, so I can go, but be careful," He responded, and she patted him on the head before he left as she hurried to the harbor.

Upon arriving at the harbor, Nessa saw another ship coming in and she hid in one of the streets as she saw a few men arriving at the harbor on their horses and she sighed, hoping that she could help the princess before it was too late.

While waiting, Nessa overheard the men mentioning Nasil's name, and she recognized one of them as his men, causing her eyes to widen and her fists to clench.

'Damn him, Nasil is only doing this for money, I'm pretty sure, that bastard,' she thought as the ship came to a halt and passengers began to disembark.

'Is she there?' Nessa pondered as she searched for the girl.

While searching, Nessa's eyes were drawn to a blonde girl exiting the ship, and she smiled when she realized it was the princess.

The young lady was tall, slim, fair, and blonde.

"I have to get to her," Nessa said as the guys dismounted their horses and approached the girl who was staring at them.

"Can I help you?" The princess asked.

"Yes, we were sent here by the prince to collect you and take you to the castle," Nasil's men responded and the princess sighed as Nessa approached her, transformed into her fox form, and walked up to the girl's feet, and the princess smiled as she looked at her.

"Aw, you're so cute," She said as she knelt and patted her on the head. Nessa looked at the men before placing her paw on the girl's hand.

"I don't understand what you are up to but are you hungry?" The princess asked.

'This is going to be a lot more difficult than I anticipated,' Nessa thought.

"Akio," She mumbled as the bad guys talked, and the princess became distracted by other people passing by, and Akio appeared before them and hit them with his tail, sending them flying despite the fact that he was not in his full form, and Nessa transformed back into her human form, grabbed the girl's arm, and rushed off without the bad guys seeing, and Nessa hid the girl in an alley beside a building.

"What exactly is going on? Who are you?" The princess asked as she turned to face Nessa, who sighed.

"I am the maid who looks after your father at the castle, princess," Nessa responded and the girl sighed.

"If that's the case, why did you leave the men like that?" The princess asked.

"I'll explain in a minute, put your hoodie on, they're looking for you, and if they find you, you might not live to see your father," Nessa responded, and the princess's eyes shook then she did as told and placed the hoodie on.

"Follow me, I have a lot to tell you about your father and the situation that you are currently in, that you need to know because it's critical right now," Nessa said as she walked away and the girl followed her without saying anything.

Nessa took the girl to the inn and went to her room, locking the door after entry. The princess then removed her hoodie and looked at Nessa, worriedly.

"You can sit, I'll explain what's going on, it's your choice whether to believe me or not, you can walk into your death after this, and I won't stop you, are you going to listen?" Nessa inquired, and the princess lowered her head before nodding.
