Ascension of the Monster Queen

While Nessa played with Akio, the prince looked at her and sighed.

While Nessa played with Akio, the prince looked at her and sighed.  When the prince asked, she looked at him.

"Are you sure about this? This is your kingdom I am no one here," She responded and he sighed.

"Yeah, but keep going," He said.

"All right, we can start by getting rid of them tomorrow, Nasil's men fear the prince and his father more than they do Nasil, they will talk, they saw me, I will handle it from there," She replied and they looked at each other then at her.

"He'll have his men detain you; we'll assist if that happens, but don't we need to get the king out of there first?" The prince asked.

"We can but we won't, the king needs to see and hear for himself," She responded and they smiled.

"Well, if that's it, then we are fine with it," Eli said and the prince nodded then Nessa smiled.

"Well, you can all stay here, we are going to have to take the floor as well," Nessa said and they chuckled.

"Nessa and Eli can sleep on the bed, and the prince and I will sleep on the couch," Mazen responded, and the prince agreed.

"So, is that settled?" Eli inquired, and they smiled before nodding.

"I'm going to get us dinner," Mazen said as he exited the room and went to get food for everyone.

"I am going to freshen up," Nessa said then she went to the bathroom and Akio stretched off.

"Who is this?" The prince asked as he looked at Akio and Eli smiled.

"That's Akio, he's special and her friend," Eli responded.

"Nice, he is cute, do you trust her?" He asked and Eli smiled. check-out-MvLeMpYr

"Yes, I do, I don't see a reason why I shouldn't when she has done so much to help us, that just won't be fair, I think she might be the leader of something with the way she thinks," Eli responded and he chuckled.

"Well, that would explain that, but I haven't heard of a young lady leading a nation or so as yet, but you never know," he said and she nodded.

"How did your trip go?" She asked.

"It was good until I got that letter, which I'm assuming she also sent," He responded.

"Yeah, she did that, but why would she go through so much to help us? She is kind, I know that, but that's not enough, father has also taken a liking to her," She said, as her brother sighed and sat back on the couch.

"Don't look at me like that, I don't know, but I'm glad she was with our father; I'm not sure he'd be here if it wasn't for her," He replied.

"Yeah, I'm grateful; I wonder if she'll leave when this is all over," Eli said as Nessa emerged from the bath after finishing getting dressed.

"Eli, you can go next," Nessa said as Mazen entered the room, and the girl stood up.

"By the way, what's your name?" Nessa asked and the prince glanced at her.

"My name is Leon," He responded and she smiled then Eli went to freshen up and Mazen placed their dinner on the table.

"I take it you are afraid of going back home?" Nessa asked and Mazen glanced at her with a smirk on his face.

"I don't care, that's not my home," He responded and she walked up to him, then patted him on the shoulder and he smiled.

"It's fine, I will stay until this is over then I will go home," He said and she smiled then they sat down.

"Where are you from?" Leon asked and Mazen glanced at him then sighed.

"Somewhere far, I cannot tell you that right now, your highness," Mazen responded.

"It's fine, I'm sure you have your reasons, and you're not a threat, so there's nothing to worry about," Leon said, and Mazen smiled.

"Thank you very much, your highness," Mazen said.

"Please stop, don't go calling me your highness all the time guys, just call me Leon, believe me, hearing people go your highness all day long tends to get very annoying, at least to me, I'm not sure about the others, either way, no your highness from you guys," He replied, and they laughed.

"I agree with him on that, it's very irritating, to the highest level, that is, no matter how much you tell some people to call you by your name, they don't listen or just can't since they are used to addressing us by your highness," Eli said as she exited the bathroom and sat with them and sighed.

"I honestly thought some of you guys hated being addressed, but it's confirmed that you do," Mazen replied, and Eli nodded.

"From what I've heard, it can be quite a headache for most royals," Nessa said.

"Yes it can but it's understandable as well, some people are just too used to it that it's hard for them to change that now after so long," Leon replied.

"Yeah, it's understandable, and we know it's a way for people to show you how much they respect you, but it's difficult, and we wish we could tell them to stop at times, but we can't," Eli said.

"We just have to accept it and be thankful that they care about us enough to check in; as long as the people within your kingdom want you in their lives, it's hard for other people to throw you out because they can fight for what they want," Leon replied, and Nessa smiled upon hearing their words, knowing that Leon's statement about people wanting you in their lives is true.

"Well, guys, the food is going to start getting cold, and believe me, this is good food, so let's start eating, we can talk while we do it, all of that stuff that needs to be talked about will get out there in due time, this food won't wait that long, and besides, I am hungry," Mazen said, and they laughed before taking their food, and Nessa gave Akio his share then they began eating.
