Ario sighed and looked at them after the prince had gotten off of him.

"Are you guys going to execute me?" Ario asked and the king sighed.

"No, I will find a suitable punishment for you later on, but these men will be imprisoned," He responded, and they lowered their head.

"Can you get Nasil for me right now, Akio?" He bowed his head and then vanished when she asked.

"You did this because of your boss; he should serve life in prison, not you, but you must be punished because you did bad things," She said and one of them laughed and she looked at him.

"What?" She asked.

"You're a nice person," He responded and she smiled.

"Thank you," She said and he bowed his head as Akio reappeared before her and threw Nasil by her feet and he looked at her as she stared at him.

"You again," He said as he got up.

"You are about to be punished for your crimes," She replied and he chuckled.

"You have no proof," He said and she slapped him.

"You attempted to assassinate the king as well, Nasil; shut up; nothing you say will get you out of this,"  The one that complimented Nessa replied and Mazen chuckled as Nasil sighed and Nessa shoved him with his men who grabbed onto him so he could be punished equally and not escape.

"Nessa," The king said as she patted Akio on the head, then looked at him and smiled.

"Would you like to speak now?" He sighed and nodded when she asked.

"Father, please sit on your throne," Leon said, and the king looked at him before going to sit on his throne, and Nessa bowed her head.

"Your highness," She addressed him.

He replied, "Arise," and she smiled.

"Are you truly the ruler of the newly formed monster nation?" Leon inquired.

"Yes, I am," She replied.

"So that explains the enigma and the wolf, what kind of wolf is he?" Eli asked.

"He used to be a dire wolf," She responded and Leon blew a whistle.

"I believe this is what you wanted to discuss with me?" Mazen asked, and she gave him a glance before nodding and he smiled.

"Why didn't you tell us, Nessa?" The king inquired.

"Because I didn't come here for any ordinary reason; I came here for a good reason, then I found out what was going on and couldn't sit back and watch it happen; I did that because I wanted to," She replied.

"That I do, you are kind Nessa, anyone could have realized that, what's the reason you came here though?" The king asked.

"Well, let's start, my nation is growing faster than I expected, monsters as most people call them are not that different from humans, I want to expand, I came here to ask for an alliance between our nations, if I am going to let it grow, I will need support, the more support we get, the better," She responded as the king stared at her.

"That's great, tell me what kind of monsters do you have so far?" He asked.

"Evolved Ogres, Dwarves, Foxes, these wolves, and Goblins who are also evolved, they are not like the normal kind," She responded.

"Wow, those creatures never trust people easily, that's fantastic," Mazen said and she smiled.

"Nessa, you're doing really well so far; how old are you?" The king inquired, and she lowered her head. Akio patted her hand, and she looked at him.

"Your highness, I am nineteen years old," She replied.

"You are young and have accomplished so much already, that's amazing; I will form an alliance with you, and I will help your nation," He said, and her eyes widened as she looked at him.

"Are you certain? This is not your typical nation," She replied and chuckled before rising from his throne and approaching her.

"I'm sure this will benefit me as well; once people find out, I doubt they'll want to harm us, you know what I mean don't you?" He asked.

"Yes, I do," She responded then he patted her on the shoulder.

"Good, you have earned this on your own Nessa, I have no reason not to trust you, it is my honor, Lady Nessa," He said as he extended his hand to shake hers, and the others applauded.

"Congratulations," They said and she smiled at them, then they bowed their heads to each other before turning to the others.

"Would you like us to make it public right now?" The king inquired.

"Not yet, there will be a time for that, thank you," She replied.

"There's no need to thank me, you saved all of our lives, it's the least I could do, and besides, I want to see how much further your nation will evolve," He said, and Akio howled and she chuckled.

"Are you happy, Akio?" He nodded when she asked.

"He is happy, great, it's already night," Nessa said.

"Yeah, the day flew by," Mazen replied.

"Oh your highness, I need to see if you are completely fine," Nessa said as she placed her hand on his chest and he looked at her as her eyes started glowing blue.

[I checked him; the poison is no longer in his body as a result of your potion; he is perfectly fine, master.]

"Am I okay?" The king inquired.

"Yes, you are completely fine now, the poison within your body has vanished," She replied, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you once more," He said and she smiled.

"No need for that now, I'm hungry, I'm going back to the inn," Nessa said as the guards marched into the throne room, bowed, and took the culprits, including Ario, away.

"Nessa, I'd like for you all to stay for dinner tonight, we have had a long day, let's just relax," The king said.

"Sure, I'd love that," She replied and he smiled.

"Well, I'll take your leave now, I have to do a few more things, good night," Mazen said, and Nessa grabbed his clothes, pulling him back and he coughed, at which point she let go and he looked at her.
