Ascension of the Monster Queen

"Poisoned? "Who did it?" Nessa sighed when she asked.

"After your father became ill, he allowed your cousin to take care of the kingdom, and that\'s when everything began to change and make sense, he and his father are the ones who want to kill your father, the king doesn\'t know but he enslaved people at the mines and so on,things were not looking well," Nessa responded.

After hearing what Nessa had to say, the princess was at a loss for words and just sat there.

"So tonight, those men, they came to what exactly? Kill me?" She asked.

"I\'m pretty sure they had a lot on their minds, either way, they weren\'t going to let you see your father, things in the kingdom aren\'t great and some of the people are blaming the king, also, the letter you and your brother got, I am the one who sent it without the prince knowing but now that you contacted his father, they know someone sent it and are looking for who it was, they are not going to spare anyone who knows about this," Nessa responded.

Upon hearing most of what was going on, tears began to stream down the princess\'s cheeks as Nessa stared at her, knowing the princess was worried about her father, who was not safe even in his own home.

"Thank you for saving my life and sending that letter; my brother is coming tomorrow; I need to help him; do they know he\'s coming?" She asked.

"Not as yet, no and you are welcome," Nessa responded then the princess sighed.

"What\'s your name?" She asked.

"My name is Nessa; what is yours?" Nessa inquired.

"My name is Eli; can you tell me if my father is going to be okay or if he is going to die?" She asked.

"He was dying, ever since I started taking care of him, I switched his medications with ones that will help him get better faster, I didn\'t tell him about anything because I want him to focus on getting better, he got a lot of his energy back, I told him to keep the secret about him getting better from the prince because I wanted it to be a surprise and he agreed," Nessa responded.

The princess hugged Nessa tightly after hearing that her father was doing well and Nessa patted her on the back then she raised off of the girl and smiled.

"Thank you so much for this and for saving my father\'s life; my father must really like you because he only listens to those he likes; I am grateful," Nessa smiled as the princess wiped away her tears.

"You are welcome, I came here for my own reasons, to be honest, I am not from here, but after finding the king in a bad state, I couldn\'t turn my back on him, one thing is for sure, he loves you and your brother like crazy, he talked about you both a lot," She replied and the princess laughed.

"That sounds like dad, he\'s a doting father, I\'m a little relieved, thanks to you, no matter how many times I say thanks, it won\'t be enough," Eli said, and Nessa sighed before standing up when someone knocked on her door and she looked at the princess.

"Relax," She said before peeking at the door and seeing it was Mazen, then opening it and letting him in before closing it again.

"Mazen," She said and he sighed.

"Nasil is angry, I think he knows you\'re the one who helped the princess, but fear won\'t make him say anything, once they find out it\'s you, you\'re going to be in a lot of trouble, thankfully the prince doesn\'t know it\'s you, I see his father is with him now, this just got more difficult," Mazen replied with a sigh and she patted him on the shoulder before he looked at the person with the hoodie.

"Are you the princess?" He asked and she took the hoodie off while smiling nervously.

"Hello," She said and he scoffed.

"Hello, your highness, I am glad you are safe," He replied and she smiled at him.

"Your highness, this is Mazen, a friend who wishes to assist us, and there is another maid at the castle who has been assisting me as well, Tina, they all just want things to return to normal," Nessa said, as Eli sighed.

"I\'m glad you\'re getting help; this means more to me than you can imagine; our father is our life; he\'s been through a lot, and I don\'t want him to go through any more," She replied before Mazen sat down with Nessa and looked at her.

"Well, it\'s getting late; you guys can talk about it later, but for now, get some rest; the prince is about to become a bigger pain for all of us," Mazen said.

"A pain that I will handle, you guys leave him to me, I will teach them a good lesson, one that they will remember for the rest of their lives," Nessa replied as the two stared at her.

"What are you planning, Nessa?" Eli asked.

"There are a lot of things I can do to help; I\'ll start by having the you meet your father; I need to get this done as soon as possible because I\'ve been here for a while," Nessa responded, and Mazen smiled at her. your-chapter-source

"Do you have to get home?" Mazen asked.

"You can say that, I have a lot of work I need to do, things to take care of that will not be easily done," She responded and they smiled at her.

"I think I understand, I hope you can get them done," Eli said, and Nessa smiled at the girl, seeing how nice she was and how similar she was to her father.
