Ascension of the Monster Queen

"Guys..." Niva mumbled as she opened her eyes and saw them and Nessa looked at her then smiled and Ian scoffed.

"You guys came," He said.

"You got taken down so easily, Ian?" Yonja asked and Ian chuckled.

"I was not ready for them, don't underestimate me..." He responded and Yonja smiled upon hearing that.

"Well, isn't this nice?" The king asked as they looked up the stair and the king and his fiancee were standing there and he smiled at them.

"Hello," The fiancee said and the king smirked.

"Release them," The prince said.

"I am king, you cannot tell me what to do, you are a nobody after all," The king replied and the prince clenched his fists.

They knew that the king and his fiancee were up to something, but they couldn't risk doing anything rash because the others were still captive and they had to find a way to free them.

"What do you want?" The prince asked.

"What you are hiding, what you won't give up, the one thing that the royals were known to protect," He responded and Nessa looked at him, then at his fiancee who waved at her with a smile on her face and Nessa scoffed.

"I don't have what you want and that is the truth," The prince said and the king sighed.

"Are you really going to do this right now? You are saying you don't have or know where your family diamond is?" The king asked and the prince sighed before lowering his head.

"Are you being serious? Do you really not know where the hell it is when we sensed it coming from your guild just the other day?" The fiancee asked and the prince looked at her with anger in his eyes.

'I am telling you guys that I don't know where it is and that is the truth," He responded and they both sighed as the king's eyes glowed blue and he looked at the three he had held captive.

"Maybe this will help you remember," The king said before shooting a small blue ball of energy towards them and after it hit against the wall, it began spreading onto their bodies chocking them and the prince gasped and Nessa clenched her right fist.

"I am telling you I really don't know where it is, just stop it already," The prince said before glancing at Nessa and she exhaled deeply.

"He is telling you the truth, he really doesn't know where is is," Nessa said and the girl chuckled.

"Why should we believe you?" The girl asked and Nessa looked at her then a smirk appeared on her face.

"She is right, why should we believe what you say?" The king asked and Nessa sighed.

"Because I know where the diamond is and if you want to know, I suggest that you stop shocking them now or you won't be getting any answers today," Nessa responded and the king gnashed his teeth as Nessa looked at him then he sighed.

The king then raised his right hand, pulling back the energy ball towards him and it disappeared, after which Ian exhaled deeply and looked at Nessa then she smiled at him and he smirked.

"Now, will you be telling us what you know now or not?" The king asked and Nessa sighed.

"First tell me, who do you work for?" She asked and his eyes widened as he stared at her.

"What do you mean?" The girl asked and a smirk appeared on Nessa's face as she stared at both of them and their shocked faces, wondering why Nessa would ask them a question like that.

"Hey, answer, why would you ask something like that?" The girl asked and Nessa sighed.

"Well, tell me this, are you guys really acting on your own?" She asked and the king's eyes narrowed.

"You know something about us, don't you?" The king asked and Nessa glanced at him.

"What's with all the questions? I haven't asked you guys as much as you have asked us and now just because of two simple ones you are getting all riled up?" She asked and the girl came down the stairs and Nessa as well as the others looked at her and she approached Nessa.

"What do you know? Stop playing around and answer me!" She shouted as she raised her hand up to hit Nessa and Nessa spun around, kicking her in her stomach due to which she was sent flying across the room and crashed into the wall and the king gnashed his teeth.

"I have had enough of this nonsense, will you tell us what we want to know or do you want your precious friends to perish?" The king asked as flames formed on the tip of his fingers as the girl got back up and Nessa looked at him.

'Connect me to Isamu and Terou,' Nessa thought.

[Got it.]

[Telepathic connection successful.]

'Isamu, Terou, stay within the shadows and break the chain from them, use one of your abilities if you have to, I cannot let them know what I do,' She thought.

[Message sent, connection severed.]

"Thank you," Nessa mumbled.

[You are welcome, glad you still thought of using me.]

Nessa chuckled then looked at the king and sighed.

"Do you think you will get what you want from us if you kill them?" Nessa asked and his eyes began glowing brightly as he threw his fireballs at them.

The prince jumped before them, redirecting the fireballs at the king and he chuckled before dodging the attack which hit the side of the house, causing it to break apart and the others chains broke away thanks to Isamu and Terou and Nessa and the others grabbed onto them then rushed out of the house but they were surrounded by their men.

"I have to say that you guys are quite fun, you like playing with fire, now do you really think you can get away that easily?" The king asked as he and his fiancee appeared before them and Nessa sighed then looked at the others before looking back at the king whom she knew was now more then willing to kill all of them.
