Chapter 72: Sunny out
"Nessa," He said and she looked at him.
"Your highness," She replied.
"What are you doing here at this time?" He asked.
"I was just making sure the king had everything he needed before I left," She responded and he sighed.
"You are really stubborn, whatever, good night," He said.
"Good night," She replied, then left and he looked at her with his eyes narrowing before going to his room.
After Nessa returned to the inn, she had dinner, which was compliments of the inn as well as breakfast and lunch since she had been staying there for a while.
When the girl finished eating, she went to her room, closed her door, then went to freshen up since she was tired and was only thinking about one thing, which was sleeping. After Nessa finished taking her bath, she got dressed then got into bed and Akio appeared by the side of the bed to sleep.
"Good night, Akio," She said.
"Good night, my lady," He replied and within no time, they both slept away.
When Nessa awoke the next morning, she stretched and noticed Akio standing by the window.
"Good morning," She said and he looked at her.
"Good morning, my lady, it's a nice and sunny day today," He replied.
She got out of bed, went to the window, and smiled as the cool breeze caressed her cheeks. She patted him on the head, and he wagged his tail.
"Are you going to work?" He asked.
"Yes, I am, soon we will be going home, Akio," She responded and he exhaled deeply.
"That's good to hear, I've been wanting to go home for a while now, I'm just a little worried about them," He said and she looked at him.
"I understand," She replied.
He replied, "Good morning and thank you."
"No problem, your highness," She said as she gave him his medications and he began eating his breakfast.
While the king was eating, Nessa went and stood in the balcony which looked over the city and she smiled as a few birds flew by her, chirping.
Nessa wondered if the king's children would arrive soon because she didn't want to fight the prince and cause too much trouble.
"Where are you lost this time, Nessa?" When the king asked, she jumped and turned to look at him and he smiled.
"What's the problem?" She lowered her head when he asked.
"Nothing, just thinking about life," She responded and his eyes narrowed while looking at her.
"You are not lying to me are you?" He asked.
"No, I have no reason to do that, your highness; continue eating your food, and don't worry about trivial matters." She responded and he sighed.
"All right, if you say so," He said before continuing to eat his food.
'I can't keep lying; he's starting to suspect me,' Nessa thought as the king finished his meal and sighed.
"That was really good coffee, tastes different from my usual coffee, did you make it?" The king asked and she nodded.
"Well, for some reason it's better than the ones I usually have," He responded and she smiled as the prince walked into the room and Nessa looked at him then he sighed.
"Good morning, uncle, how are you?" The prince asked, and the king remembered Nessa's desire for it to be a surprise.
"I am trying kid, that's all I can say," The king responded and the prince smiled at him.
"That's good to know; I hope you get well soon; your people miss you more than you know, all they want to see is their king to know if he is doing okay or not," He said and the king sighed.
"Yeah, they're nice people," He replied.
"That's true, they are, I will leave you to it, Nessa try not to disturb him too much," The prince said and she looked at him as he left.
