Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 246: Small box

A while after Nessa disappeared, she reappeared by the castle and walked around within the shadows, looking for the king and his fiancee.

After a while of looking, she arrived at a room and noticed it was the real king and queen's room and she entered it, then smiled after seeing how nice it was and how happy they looked on a picture which was on the wall.

'I hope I can bring justice to you guys,' Nessa thought as she walked around the room, looking for anything that could help her figure out where their son was since she wanted to know whether he was alive or not and if he was she wanted to be the one to get to him first.

While looking for a clue, Nessa's hand pressed against the king and queen's portrait, which began to move, and she flinched as part of the wall opened, revealing a magical marking.

"What's this for?" Nessa asked as she passed her on on the marking and it glowed green, then a small part of the wall which was in the shape of a box opened up and Nessa saw a box within it and she took it out, then it closed back up and she came out of the shadows and sat on the bed then looked at the box, carefully.

Nessa noticed that the box had the very same marking on it and she sighed, then her eyes glowed green and she passed her hand on it, after which, the marking glowed green and Nessa sighed and the box opened up.

"I wonder if anything about their son is in here, there is not much to go on so far and it's not like I can ask around," Nessa mumbled as she took a paper out of the box.

After opening the paper, Nessa saw it was a birth certificate of the child, but it was torn apart and she couldn't see the name properly but it was indeed a boy.

"You are correct; we cannot simply assume; we must be certain; I will also assist with this; I will dispatch workers; we cannot afford to fail this mission; we have had a lot of problems to deal with recently, and more so since..." The king gave her a sidelong glance as she gnashed her teeth.

"Ever since Nessa showed up?" He asked as Nessa was about to leave, but after hearing her name she decided to stay back a few minutes more to hear what they had to say about her.

"Yes, I know that you know something is off with that girl as well, the mysterious air around her is quite creepy and I really don't like it, I feel as though she knows something, tell me, are you going to give me permission to dig into her and those friends she has at the guild?" She asked and he exhaled deeply before finishing off his wine.

"I know that something is wrong with her which he why you have my permission to do what needs to be done, no matter what we cannot fail this mission, our lives are on the line as well as many other things, investigate them as you like but we need to get to know more about the child, got it?" He asked.

"Got it," She responded with a grin and he sighed.

"Things are about to get a whole lot more interesting to me," He said and she glanced at him before standing up.

"When the girl is concerned, I have a feeling I will be the one having more fun here, let's see what more we can find on the mysterious Nessa, I will kill her," She replied before walking away and he glanced at her then scoffed.

"For some reason I don't think that will be as easy as it sounds, well, we shall see where this takes us after all, in life you cannot win every fight, you win some and you lose some depends on your fate, I wonder at this time in life what our faith has in store for us, good or bad, we have to just accept it and move on with life, damn it, I am really starting to get irritate with this situation, I just want this all to be over with as soon as possible," He mumbled before sighed and Nessa lowered her head then left the castle.
