Ascension of the Monster Queen

"My real name is Aiduin Zylrel, I couldn\'t give people my real name, believe me, it was difficult to be called another name, but I had to get used to it, there were countless times when I wanted to say that it\'s not my name," He responded, and they smiled at him.

"Well, your highness, at that time it was necessary, it was something that needed to be done to protect the ones you care about, I know a similar feeling," Nessa said.

"You guys can address me by my first name, you don\'t have to bow whenever you see me either, I don\'t want that, after all, we are friends aren\'t we?" He asked as they looked at each other with smiling faces.

"Yes, we are and we understand," Yonja responded and he sighed in relief after hearing that.

"Oh, I almost forgot again, I got something from your parent\'s room in the castle," Nessa said as the dimensional pocket, opened and Nessa took out everything she got and gave it to him and he smiled then collected it from her.

"You got that from the castle while trying to figure out what they were up to?" Niva asked.

"Yeah, I did, I was being careful so I just grabbed them before leaving," She responded as the others stared at her then she smiled.

"You know you can get a good job in many things, even the spy one," Cortan said and Nessa chuckled.

"I am being serious here," He mumbled and she patted him on the shoulder.

"I know that you are but, I am not going to listen to you, I would never take such a job," She said and he smiled as the prince stared at what Nessa gave him and she glanced at him and then sighed.

"Nessa, if it\'s okay, can I look at this later, I don\'t feel like doing it right now?" The prince asked and Nessa smiled at him.

"I understand why you don\'t want to look at it now, believe me, I do and that was all left to you by your own parents, you can look at it whenever you feel like it, take your time and relax, you have all the time," She responded and he smiled then placed the box with his parent\'s things on the table.

"Thank you Nessa, you bringing this to me means a lot," He said and she smiled.

"You are welcome and I saw a few pictures of your parents in their room, they seemed quite happy together," She replied and he smiled.

"Yeah, they were quite happy together, despite all of the problems they had to face together, they didn\'t break, they stuck together and faced them head-on, they had problems in their marriage, well, no marriage is perfect but those two were made for each other, sometimes I wonder if I will ever be able to have something even similar to theirs, they always pulled through with each other no matter what happened," He said and Nessa lowered her head.

Nessa clenched her right fist while he was talking, thinking about the way her parents were with each other when they were alive and she sighed and Isamu and Terou saw and they looked at each other then at her.

\'I wonder if even I will be able to have something like that, my parents were happy with each other as well, despite the problems, ugh... I hate this feeling...\' Nessa thought and Terou tapped her on the feet and she flinched then looked at him as he stared at her directly in the eyes and she smiled.

"Are you okay, lady Nessa?" Isamu asked.

"Yeah, I am okay, don\'t worry about me," She responded and Isamu\'s eyes narrowed as the prince glanced at Nessa.

"Well, I wanted to ask you guys something," The prince said and they looked at him then he sighed.

"What is it that you want to ask?" Sophia asked and he exhaled deeply.

"Will you guys help me regain my throne?" He asked and they smiled at him.

"Is that a serious question?" Yonja asked as the prince stared at them.

"Uh... Yes, I guess it is," He responded and they chuckled.

"Of course we will help you, you are the rightful heir to the throne, we don\'t have a reason not to help you, am I right guys?" Yonja asked.

"Yeah," They responded then the prince smiled and turned to Nessa.

"What about you?" He asked.

"Of course I will help, both as a friend and as someone who wants something from it," She responded and the prince smiled.

"What do you want from it?" He asked.

"Something that is very important and that will do good for those that I have a responsibility towards for those that I have to take care of and ensure them an even better future which I promised them," She responded and he smiled.

"So you are indeed the leader of something important, when you are ready to tell us, if I have the power to give you want you want, I will not hesitate," He said and she smiled.

"Good, I will hold you at your words then, because I assure you, you will have the power to give me what I want and need," She replied with a smile as he stared at her with his eyes narrowing then he scoffed.

"Well, since you put it that way, we will see what happened in the future, you are not that hard to bargain with and what if I didn\'t have the power to give you what you want, would you still help us?" He asked and she glanced at him and the others looked at him.

"What do you think my answer will be? Guess it and I will tell you guys if you are right or wrong," She responded and they smiled while thinking about what her answer would be.
