Chapter 223: To prove
"She will be here in a few minutes, you can sit down and make yourself at home in the meantime," One of the knight responded and she sighed before sitting down and they left as she looked around the living room when the king passed by and noticed her then came to a halt and turned back and peeked at her.
"What are you doing here?" He asked and she glanced at him. Enjoy more content from m-v l\'e|-NovelBin.net
"Maybe you should be asking your fiancee that question, your highness," She responded with a smile.
"You are quite sassy, why are you mad at me?" He asked as he approached her then sat down and Nessa looked at him with her eyes narrowing and a smirk appeared on his face.
"Tell me, why don\'t you like us?" He asked and she chuckled.
"Again, that\'s a question you should ask her and not me, I don\'t hate you guys, I just don\'t like her, she gets me on my nerves, what more do you want me to say?" She asked and he sighed.
"Look, I don\'t know what is going on between you and her, but what I do know is that we are still new here, this is our home now, the king wanted me to be his heir, I am fulfilling my duties, I know we haven\'t fully gained the people\'s trust as yet, but I am working on it and I have proved myself in many more ways than once before, I don\'t know how many more times I have to do it in order for them to see that I am not a bad person," He responded as she lowered her head.
"This is not my home, I don\'t really care about what goes on here, but what I can tell you is that you won\'t gain their trust easily, you are someone that they don\'t know, their king and queen recently died and things have been weird for them, I guess you have to give them time to see you as you are, the true you," Nessa said while clenching her fist and he smiled at her.
"Thanks, I will talk to my fiancee about you," He replied as she walked into the living room and Nessa and the king looked at her.
"There is no need to talk to me, I heard you," She said and he looked at her with his eyes narrowing.
"What do you want with me? I don\'t have all day to waste doing nothing, like yourself," Nessa said as she got up and the girl looked at her sternly and Nessa stared right back at her with no fear within her eyes.
"How can you talk to me like that?" She asked and Nessa scoffed.
"Because I don\'t care about what you think, you and I are not friends, do I even have any reason to show a tad bit of respect to you?" Nessa asked and the girl gnashed her teeth.
"Tell me, why don\'t you want to tell us where you are even from?" The girl asked and Nessa sighed.
"I don\'t have to give you my personal information, and I don\'t see why I should; you\'re making a big deal out of nothing; I don\'t have all day here; is this what you called me here for?" Nessa inquired, and the king sighed and clenched his fists.
"I have had enough of this, I don\'t know what\'s going on in here, but what I am telling both of you is please stop, also, I don\'t think Nessa is the one that\'s wrong here, I have got things to do, I don\'t want your personal madness to get in the way of my work, this is my last warning to both of you, I hope I am making myself clear," He said and the girl glanced at Nessa with anger in her eyes and Nessa exhaled deeply, knowing the girl was going to be a problem and from their conversation, Nessa figured out that they were up to something.
"I am going to leave now," Nessa said as she walked away and the king\'s eyes widened when he sensed a different type of energy around Nessa and he glanced at him as she left and he grabbed onto the girl\'s neck and she looked at him with a smirk on her face.
"That look that you just have her, you know something is wrong about that girl, we came here on a job..." She said as he choked her and lifted her up in the air and she began coughing.
"What did you find out about here, though?" He asked before releasing her and she chuckled.
"That she is a new mystery, she appeared about more than a few weeks ago and now she joined the guild, I heard that she is the reason they got to clear the dungeon, she doesn\'t like us as well, there is just something about her," She responded and he smiled.
"Yeah, I sensed something is off about her, don\'t get too close or too involved with her, she is smart, keep investigating her, let\'s see what happens, I have to take care of a few things, I will see you later," He said then left and the girl smiled.
"Let\'s see what you are hiding, I know you are not what you seem, I am not wrong about this and I will prove it, I will prove that you are up to something and then you will regret it, Nessa," The girl said as Nessa was walking back to the guild and she gnashed her teeth, wondering what her next move will be and knew that she had to be careful or she might place her new friends in danger as well as Isamu and Terou.
Nessa had a strong feeling that the royals were about to do something, and she couldn\'t shake it, she wanted to do her best to help and get her job done, as well as find out more about the diamond and what they really wanted with it.
