Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 78: Spiciness

"I'll tell you what this is about, there is a sneaky bastard within the castle, which is why we will be getting rid of most of the servants, we are just checking who to keep and who not to keep and since you are so close with the king, we had to ask," The guy said, and Nessa smiled.

"I'm close to him, and I want him to get better, and he's trying his hardest, but it's futile even trying," She replied, and he smirked.

"Poor guy, I actually feel really sorry for him," He said as the prince looked at the two.

"Are you sure?" He looked at her when she asked.

"What exactly does that mean?" He asked.

"Well, I'm just saying that you don't seem to care much; I'm good at observing people, and you appear to be the one who doesn't care what happens to the king," She responded as he flung up from his seat and looked at her.

"You better watch how you speak to me or you won't be able to speak again," He warned, and she stood up and sighed.

"Is that so? You are not king, I suggest you remember that, I have no reason to be respectful to someone like you, the prince I understand because the king entrusted this kingdom to him, not to you," She replied and he clenched his fists and the prince swallowed.

"You little brat, you'll regret ever speaking to me like that," He yelled as Tina rushed into the living room, her gaze fixed on Nessa.

"I think you are dreaming too much, snap out of it, I am not going to regret anything, in fact, I find you very suspicious, does the king know you are here?" She asked and his eyes narrowed.

"He won't care even if he did, I suggest you stay on track kid, you are a girl, and you can be easily harmed, watch yourself, I don't want to see you working here anymore," He responded and she chuckled.

"You can't fire me, but you can check with the king if you want because I'm not going anywhere," She said as she walked out of the room, and the prince smirked as Tina followed Nessa and the man punched the wall, causing the prince to flinch as he looked at his father.

"I don't want to see that girl, here again, I want her gone," He said.

"I can't fire her, it's impossible as long as he is alive, think before you act father," He replied, then left the room and Nessa went to the kitchen where she exhaled deeply and Tina patted her on the shoulder then she turned to look at the girl.

"What time is it, Tina?" Nessa inquired, and the young lady checked the time.

"It's almost midday; what you did back there was brave, but I think that guy is more on to you now than he was before." She responded and Nessa sighed.

"That's not a bad thing," She said as Tina looked at her a bit confused.

"Wait a minute, are you attempting to end this now?" Tina inquired, and Nessa smiled.

"Yes, if I wait much longer then this won't end well for the king, this is the beginning of the end for them, the prince is coming here now and once he arrives tomorrow I will try finishing this off," She responded and Tina smiled.

"Well, I am with you all the way so just order me around and I will get the work done, so is the princess okay?" Tina asked.

"Yes, she is fine with my wolf and another friend of mine, they are going to keep her safe while going to get her brother whom they don't know is coming as yet, they will know though, so we have to get him to safety as well," She responded and Tina sighed.

"Well, I'm glad she's safe and all that, and I understand everything, to be honest, it'll be best if this just gets over with, I'm tired," Tina said, and Nessa smiled at her.

"I understand that most people are, now I am going to check on things, how things are going with the princess, I will be right back," Nessa replied, and Tina smiled as the girl left and went to the servant's bathroom which was no different from the others in the castle.

Nessa closed her eyes and called out to Akio who appeared before her and she smiled then patted him and he rubbed his head against her hand.

"Akio, I won't be able to stay long; how are things going with you guys? Are you okay and the others?" She asked.

"Relax a little, my lady; everything is going as planned; there is nothing to worry about; we are currently near the harbor, awaiting the arrival of the prince; we are all fine," He responded, and she sighed, relieved to hear that.

"All right, when he gets here, contact me because I don't want you guys getting into any trouble," She said.

"I understand, my lady; I will contact you," He replied, and she smiled then he left before she returned to the kitchen.

"Did you finish what you had to do?" Tina asked, and Nessa sighed.

"Yes," She responded when the prince called out her name and she sighed.

"I will be right back," She said then left the kitchen and went to the prince's office.

"Your highness, you called?" She asked and he looked at her before standing up from his chair.

"You and I are going to have a little chat about how you spoke to my father and what he can do," He responded.

"I'm all ears," She said and he smirked.

"I like this spiciness within you, believe me, I do, but you will lose against my father, he is a very cunning man and he is strong, you are just a young girl in his eyes, one who can be taken down easily, do not push it too far, if he gets any angrier at you, that would be it," He warned, and Nessa clenched her fists while staring at him.
