Chapter 62: Concerned
After finishing her bath, Nessa dressed and wt into her bed, where she sighed and covered herself with her blanket.
"Good night, Akio," She said as he jumped onto the bed and lay next to her foot.
"Good night, my lady, sweet dreams," He replied, and she smiled before closing her eyes and falling asleep.
Nessa was concerned because she didn't know what would happ to the king if the prince discovered she was onto him, and she hoped he didn't.
Wh Nessa awoke the next morning, she felt much better and her head had stopped hurting as much.
"Good morning, my lady," Akio said as she stretched th looked at him and smiled.
"Good morning, Akio, thanks for keeping an eye on me again," She replied, patting him on the head.
"You're welcome; are you working today as well?" He asked and she sighed after getting out of bed.
"I really don't want to, but for the sake of the king, I will; are you hungry?" She asked.
"No, I think I ate ough for two," He responded and she chuckled.
"All right, I'll go fresh up," She said th grabbed her clothes and wt to fresh up while Akip rested on the bed.
After finishing her bath and going through her normal morning routine, Nessa dressed, took Akio, and wt down to the lounge to get breakfast since she had to get to work.
After they finished eating, Akio hid in Nessa's shadow as usual, and they left for the castle, but on the way, Nessa bumped into Maz, who grabbed her arm.
"Sorry, Nessa, and good morning," He smiled.
"Good morning Maz and it's fine," She replied th he looked at the castle and her.
"Are you going to work?" He inquired, and she sighed and nodded.
"Well, good luck with that; I'll do some work as well," He said.
"I see, don't get into trouble now," She replied, patting his shoulder, and he smiled.
"I won't, I'll do my best not to, and you owe me an explanation for what happed yesterday," He said and she smiled.
"Oh, I see, well, I promised I'd free them if you just hung in there a little longer," she replied, and he smiled.
"Are you sure you're going to do it?" He inquired.
"Yes, I am; no one deserves to have their freedom tak away in that manner; it is simply wrong, and I will keep my promise; I will free them and assist the king," She responded and he sighed, relieved to hear that.
"That's great to hear, I'm looking forward to seeing that happ, but you need to be careful, I won't get too close, that prince is dangerous," He said, and she chuckled.
"Believe me wh I say, I already know he's a pain," She replied and he laughed.
"Well, I hope everything goes well and that the king is fine, for now, go to work and be careful, I know I keep saying that, but you are my frid and it's natural to be concerned, I will see you soon," He said with a grin.
"I understand, bye," She replied, rushing away, and he sighed.
'Damn it, please protect her,' Maz thought before leaving to get to work.
After a short walk, Nessa arrived at the castle and sighed before taking a seat in the living room wh the prince tered.
"Good morning, Nessa," He said and she looked at him and he smiled th sat down.
"Good morning, your highness," She replied.
"Would you mind getting my breakfast?" He inquired, and she glanced at him before getting up and leaving the living room, heading to the kitch to get his breakfast.
"Good morning, Tina," Nessa said as she walked into the kitch, and the girl smiled.
"Good morning, Nessa, did you come for the prince's or the king's breakfast?" She inquired.
"The prince," She replied, before Tine sighed and Nessa wt to get the prince's breakfast.
"Do you want me to give it to him? You have that expression on your face right now," Tine spoke up, and Nessa looked at her.
"What look?" She asked.
"That look that says I want to kill you," She responded, and Nessa sighed.
"Don't worry, I'll take it because he literally asked me," She said.
"Well, th I guess you have to do it, will you be taking the king's food after?" Tina asked.
"Yeah, I am, and I will be right back," Nessa responded before departing with the prince's breakfast.
After taking the breakfast to him in the living room, he looked at Nessa th grabbed onto her hand and pulled her to sit beside him and she sighed.
"I have other work to do, your highness, and I have to get the king, his breakfast, and the medication you told me to give him; is there anything else I can do for you right now?" He scoffed wh she asked.
"I suggest you keep your tone in check with me," He responded and she sighed.
"I'm sorry," She apologized, and he chuckled.
"Damn, you don't seem to mean it, why don't you like me?" He inquired, and she turned to face him.
"Are you seriously asking me that right now?" She asked and he sighed.
"Never mind, don't answer it; instead, go ahead and get the king, his food, and medication; also, how has he be looking lately?" He inquired.
"Not great, but I hope he gets better, he's a nice guy," She replied, and he sighed.
"I suppose that's what he is." He said, and she scoffed before getting up and leaving the living room for the kitch.
"So, how did that go?" Tina asked as Nessa prepared the king's breakfast.
"It wt well," She replied and Tina chuckled.
"I guess that's good to hear, and Nessa the king seems to have tak a liking to you, which is great, he needed a frid, he hasn't spok much to anyone since he got sick," Tina said, and Nessa smiled.
"In that case, I'm glad I came; I truly hope the king recovers; now I'll take this to him; he needs to eat," She replied and Tina smiled th Nessa left with the king's breakfast.
