Chapter 82: To sneak in
Nessa sighed as she looked at the prince and princess while they were eating. She knew they adored their father and that it was difficult for them after their mother died, but yet they pulled through.
Nessa also knew that if they lost their father, they would fall apart and the kingdom will be at risk as well as its people, which is also another reason for her to help them.
Later that night, after everyone had finished eating, they all went to their respective places to sleep, and Nessa turned off the lights before everyone wished each other a good night, and they all fell asleep quickly because they were tired and had another long day ahead of them.
When the girl awoke the next morning, she saw the prince and Mazen were already up, and Eli awoke at the same time, but it was already after 10 a.m.
"It's late, good morning, guys," The prince said as he stood up, then Nessa got out of bed and looked at them.
"Good morning," She replied as they stretched off, and Leon left staring at Eli's hair, which looked like a bird had nested in it, and he and Mazen began laughing, while Nessa smiled and the girl pouted.
"You look terrible, go fix your hair, it's so funny," Leon said, and Eli furrowed her brows as she grabbed a pillow and threw it at him, but he caught it.
"Be quiet, you are making too much noise and it's so early," Eli said as they stared at her and Leon grabbed her by her feet and her eyes widened as Mazen, Akio and Nessa stared at them.
"You are a big girl and a princess, I suggest you stop being lazy and start acting like one," He said pulling her off of the bed and before she could fall, he flicked her over and she landed on her butt on the bed.
"You're so mean," She muttered, and he smiled.
"That's because you're too lazy; get up, we have things to do, or have you already forgotten about your father's situation?" She jumped out of bed as soon as he asked.
"I know, I didn't forget, I am just tired, my brain, especially, all that studying, it's going to kill me," She responded and he chuckled then patted her on the head.
"Don't complain, you chose that, deal with it," He said, and she pouted.
'That was mean, are these two really siblings?' Nessa thought as she stared at them with a smile on her face.
"Alright, no fighting, I am going to freshen up and head to the castle, I have a question though, can you guys sneak into the forest?" Nessa asked and they looked at her.
"All of us?" Mazen asked.
"Yes, I need all of you there; Tina will assist you, but you must be cautious, got it?" She inquired, and they exchanged glances.
"Got it, we'll sneak in without being noticed, we know our way around the castle, don't worry, you do what you need to do, but where do you want us to meet you?" Leon asked.
"You guys can meet me in the kitchen, relax, the servants won't sell out on you, they are tired of those two already and don't want them around, pretty sure if they had a shot at killing them they would take it," Nessa responded, and they chuckled before she went to freshen up while the others waited.
After Nessa finished her bath, the others took their turn, and she went for breakfast, which she brought back for everyone to eat.
Once everyone had finished freshening up, they all had breakfast and Nessa took off to the castle to start working and check up on the king to see how much he had improved and whether he was ready to move around more than before.
After arriving at the castle, Nessa did her usual and went to the kitchen where she saw a few of the servants standing by the cupboard, looking worried.
"What's the matter, guys?" They looked at her as she asked, and Tina smiled as she approached her.
"I just told them what's going on, they were worried, is the prince and the princess okay?" She asked and Nessa smiled.

"Yes, they are both fine, but I think this is it now, they must know that it was me because the men saw my face," She responded and Tina sighed then looked at Nessa.
"Hmm, you let them see you, didn't you?" Tina asked and she grinned.
"I had to if I wanted those idiots to be sure it was me, they had their suspicions, but this way, they can actually try to do something," She responded and Tina exhaled deeply before patting Nessa on the shoulder.
"With you, I'm going to have a heart attack, but I'm glad everything went well; are you going to see the king now?" Tina inquired.
"Yes, I have to take him his breakfast as well," She responded and Tina smiled.
"All right, you go ahead with that; is there anything else I can do?" Tina inquired, and Nessa gave her a sidelong glance.
"They will be sneaking into the castle, help them out," She responded to which the girl smiled.
"Is that all?" Tina asked and Nessa chuckled, then patted her on the head.
"That's all for now; let me go get his breakfast." The other servants smiled at her as she went to prepare the king's breakfast.
After completing the king's breakfast, Nessa took the tray and went to his room, where she noticed the door was open and entered.
"Your highness," She called out.
"Ah, Nessa, you are here, good morning," He said as he approached her and she smiled.
"Good morning, you seem healthy this morning," Nessa replied and he chuckled.
"Thanks to you, I'm feeling much better, and you took care of me as well, I am not sure I would have been able to push myself this much, so come on in," He said, and she entered the room, then placed the tray of items on the table next to the couch, and the king sat down before beginning to eat his food.
