Ascension of the Monster Queen
Chapter 58 - 58: To be careful

While eating, the king couldn't help but notice Nessa and chuckled.

"Do you have a cold?" He asked and she nodded.

"That explains your sniffing; it's fine; you don't have to act strange," He said and she sighed.

"I know, but I don't want you to get any sicker. I also wanted to let you know that I haven't forgotten about the favor; I will do my best to contact your family members. Another thing, if something bothers you, you can tell me; you can trust me." She responded and he smiled, knowing he could.

"Don't worry, I know, and thank you again, Nessa," He said, she smiled then sneezed and he chuckled as she sighed.

"Go get yourself a cup of hot chocolate or coffee, they work wonders, hot chocolate..." He sighed, and she chuckled as he finished his meal and she took the tray from him.

"I will be back to check on you later, send for me if you need anything, did you take your medication?" She asked.

"Got it and yes I did, they do taste a little different," He responded, and she smiled and exited the room, relieved that he had taken the medication she had given him.

The girl went to the kitchen where she saw the head maid whose name was Tina was waiting for her.

"What's the matter? You seem a bit stressed," Nessa said and the girl sighed.

"He's a tough guy... Ugh..." She replied, then placed a tray of food in front of Nessa.

"He wants you to make his coffee and take his breakfast; I'm not in the mood for him; if he wasn't the king's nephew, I'm afraid I'd strangle him," She said then Nessa patted her on the shoulder.

"I understand the way you are feeling, fine, this time I will go deal with him," She replied and Tine smiled.

"Thank you very much, Nessa," She said as Nessa made him a cup of coffee and then sighed.

"You are welcome," She replied.

"Where is he?" Nessa asked.

"In his room, be careful, he has got strong eyes on you," Tina responded and Nessa scoffed before leaving.

When Nessa arrived at his room, she noticed the door was open and knocked. She entered and saw him combing his hair, then he smirked and sat down on his couch as she placed the tray in front of him.

"Good morning, your highness," She said as she served him his breakfast.

"Good morning, Nessa, what took you so long?" He asked and she glanced at him, feeling annoyed.

"I had other things to attend to, your highness; I hope you enjoy your meal." She was about to leave when he called out her name, and she turned to face him.

"Is there anything else you need?" She asked as his eyes narrowed.

"Sit, let's talk," He responded and she sighed then sat down to hear what he wanted to talk about and also since she didn't have much of a choice.

"Did I do something wrong?" She asked.

"No, you didn't do anything wrong, you are new around here right?" He asked and she glanced at him.

"No, I am not, why?" She asked.

"Thought so, there aren't many people with your hair, you stand out because of it," He responded, and she lowered her head.

'What's wrong with this guy?' Nessa paused, then sighed.

"Nessa, where are you lost?" He asked and she looked at him.

"Just thinking about my own life, some of us tend to have more problems to deal with," She responded and he scoffed.

"You don't like me at all, do you?" He inquired.

"Are you certain you want me to respond to that question, your highness?" He chuckled when she asked.

"No, don't bother answering that; I believe I already know the answer, but I don't mind; you know I can make your life easier, right?" He asked.

"Oh really? How is that?" She asked.

"Luxury, you'll have what you didn't have before, and you won't have to work as a maid," He repsonded, and she smiled.

"No, I prefer to work for what I want; I apologize for being rude, but you should pass that offer on to someone else because I will never accept it," She said as she stood up and prepared to leave, he grabbed her arm and shoved her against the wall, and she looked him in the eyes.

"You will get hurt, your highness; I advise you not to do anything you will regret later." He lowered his head and gnashed his teeth as she looked at him, then he let go of her hand and clutched his head.

"Hey, are you all right?" She inquired as he sighed and sat back down.

"Yeah, I'm fine, sorry, I nearly lost it, you're one of a kind right in front of my eyes, go on, get back to work," He said and she sighed.

'This guy is a serious problem for me; I need to stay away from him,' Nessa thought as she exited the room, but Akio appeared in the hallway where no one was and she looked at him.

"Are you okay?" He asked and she smiled.

"Yeah, I'll be fine; don't worry too much about me, Akio; he does need to be handled, can you do me a favor?" She inquired.

"Sure, what exactly is it?" He asked.

"Keep an eye on the king for me from time to time," She responded.

"That I can do, be careful," He said before vanishing into the shadows.

'I'm taking it this time, I'll be careful,' Nessa thought as she walked to the kitchen, but the prince rushed out of his room and bumped into her, causing her to collapse onto the floor, hitting her head, and he sighed before helping her up.

"What's the matter with you?" She asked, rubbing the back of her head then looked at him.

"I'm sorry, here, could you please take this to Nisla?" He inquired as he handed her a money bag, and she looked at him.

"You want me to take your money?" She asked.

"Yes, there is no one better, he will be waiting at the city entrance from this direction, go on," He responded, and she sighed then left.
