Chapter 84: An answer
The king sighed and lowered his head after hearing most of what was said.
"You're going to kill them, huh? I'd like to see you try; you deserve to die, and your son deserves to be severely punished for enslaving people, poisoning your own king, and attempting to murder your own family; I'll kill you if you lay a hand on them," She said and he laughed like a maniac.
"No one will believe you because you have no proof; I will also kill you," He replied as the king barged into the throne room, leaving them staring at him as Leon, Eli, Mazen and Akio entered with him.
"You, how are you okay?" The man asked as he flung up from the throne and the kings scoffed.
"I have no idea bit what I do know is that I am going to kill you," The king responded and his brother chuckled as his son pulled his sword.
"Guys," The man yelled, and a swarm of Nasil's men rushed into the throne room, encircling them, as Nessa looked on.
"Brother, you should have just died, so you and your family don't have to die a terrible death," He said as he approached them, then smirked at Nessa.
"You should have accepted my offer because you wouldn't have had to die with them since you are not related, but what I want to know is how he was healed, how?" He asked then looked at Akio and scoffed.
"Does anyone have an answer?" He inquired as Leon clutched his sword, and Nessa sighed as she looked at them.
'I'm going to have to show it now, I'm going to do it, I won't let them harm anyone here,' Nessa chuckled as the man was about to kick Akio but she blocked his feet with her own and he glanced at her.
"There's something seriously wrong with you," He said.
"You are correct, there is, and in response to your previous question about his healing, I am the one who mixed a healing potion within his medications, and I switched them all," She replied, and the king left staring at her as the man was about to hit her and her eyes and body started glowing red and he stepped back as everyone stared at her.
"Nessa," The king said and she smiled as him.
"It's fine, I will explain myself," She replied as the sticky threads wrapped around Nasil's men and wrapped around his son's arms and legs.
"Who or what are you?" The man asked as he drew his sword and a black whip with which he was about to strike her, but she grabbed it and Akio growled at him.
"It's okay, Akio, get into your normal form," Nessa said as he transformed into his normal form, and the king and his family smiled as they looked at him.
"Have you heard about the nation of monsters that everyone has been talking about lately?" She inquired as they fixed their gaze on her.
"Yes, but why?" He inquired.
"Funny thing is, I am the leader of the very same nation of monsters that most of you despise," She responded, her eyes glowed purple, and he gasped as the king, Mazen, and others stared at her.
"I'm going to kill you," As he rushed towards the king, the man yelled, and Nessa sighed.
"Father, no," His son yelled as the sticky threads wrapped around his body and the king grabbed his son's sword and stabbed him, then Nessa released his body and he fell to the ground before taking his last breath and tears ran down the king's cheeks.
Nessa then released all of Nasil's men and the king's brother's son, who rose from the ground. Nessa then looked at him and he lowered his head before sighing.
"Don't look at me, because of you my father is dead," He said as he looked at Nessa and she sighed.
"Don't blame her; you are to blame, and I may regret killing him, but I did the right thing; once your father sets his mind on something, Ario, he doesn't stop until he completes it; he can even make it his life goal," The king replied. check-out-MvLeMpYr
Ario was the prince's middle name, and the king would call him that to express his love, but even the king's heart was broken this time.
"Don't talk to me about my father if you weren't mister goodie two shoes, this wouldn't have happened," Ario said, to Leon's scoff.
"Nothing you say will justify your actions; I grew up thinking of you as a brother, and you had the audacity to do this to us? If it were up to me, I would have killed you," Leon replied, and Ario laughed.
"I won't regret anything, no matter what you guys do or say to me, I should have killed him when I had the chance, but you had to ruin everything," Ario yelled as he approached Nessa and she looked at him.
"You're at fault here, don't blame her for doing the right thing, you son of a bitch," Leon yelled, punching Ario to the ground and grabbing his sword.
Leon was about to attack Ario when his sister called his name and his father grabbed onto the sword, he lowered his head and gnashed his teeth as Ario stared at him, his heart racing and tears welling up in his eyes.
"Bro, you have to let him go, it's not worth it," Eli said as she grabbed onto her brother's shoulder and Nessa turned away.
"Let it go, son, come on, there is nothing more that you can do, what's done is done," Said the king.
"You didn't have to do this, no matter what your father said and did to you, you didn't have to follow him, we were your family, we grew up together, we practically lived together since your father was always busy, we really were a nice family back then, Ario," Leon said as tears began streaming down Ario's cheeks and Nessa glanced at him.
"I- I'm sorry," Ario apologized, and Leon sighed then got off of him and Ario sat up.
