Ascension of the Monster Queen

After hearing what the prince said about what's going on with Nessa, the others didn't know what to say, they just stood there staring at Nessa, wondering what they could actually do to help her.

The prince tried easing the pain within her body, but then realized that he couldn't do it, since it was not caused by any injury nor was it physically.

The prince looked at Nessa, wondering what he could do to help her but no matter what came to his head, he couldn't try it on her since he didn't know if it would actually help her or just make everything worse.

The prince placed his hand on her chest and was about to go try another one of his talents when her eyes opened and he flinched as her body glowed bright green and blue, releasing an energy wave and everyone gasped since it shook the room, escaping the guild.

"What the hell was that?" Yonja asked as the prince took his hand off of Nessa and stood up.

"I felt that somewhere before," The prince responded and the others looked at him.

"What do you mean?" Yonja asked as Isamu looked at Nessa and Terou who was staring at her then Isamu patted him on the head.

"It will be fine," Isamu said then Terou nodded.

"That energy, I know I sensed it before, but I can't quite remember where it was, damn it," He said before sitting down and pouring himself a glass of wine then drank it before sighing.

"What are we going to do now?" Sophia asked and they looked at each other while thinking of a way to help.

While they were thinking, the king flung up from his seat within the castle and a smirk appeared on his face as his eyes lit up orange.

"I see the diamond is right within this kingdom and it has been activated in a way," He said and his fiancee glanced at him and he looked at her.

"Get a few of the men, we are going on a little hunt," He said and she exhaled deeply.

"All right, as you wish," She replied, then got up and went to get a few of their men after which both the king and his fiancee exited the castle in search of where the energy wave was released from.

After a while of thinking, nothing came to their mind since they couldn't risk hurting Nessa more especially when they were uncertain with what was going on with her body.

"What should we do now? What if there is something terribly wrong with her?" Niva asked and Cortan exhaled deeply then patted her on the shoulder and she lowered her head.

"Guild master," The receptionist called out while knocking on the door, then he got up and opened it and she peeked at him.

"That's the matter?" He asked.

"Uh... The king has come here with his guards and his fiancee, he is looking for something," She responded and the prince's eyes narrowed.

"I see..." The prince said before looking at the others.

"Come on guys, let's go, Isamu and Terou come with me as well please," He said and they nodded.

After he left the office, they followed him down to the lobby and the king looked at him as he approached them.

"Your highness, what brings you here today?" He asked and the king smiled.

"I came here following a trail, how is everything going with you?" The king asked.

"It's going fine, thank you, how can I help you?" He asked.

"Has there been any weird energy release around here today?" The fiancee asked as she approached the prince and he clenched his right fist, wondering about the diamond and how it was connected to the energy release.

"Not that I can think of," He responded and she smiled then patted him on the shoulder.

"Are you sure?" She asked.

"Yes, I am certain, if there was I would have known about it in an instant unless it happened when I was not around, I am sorry but that's all I know," He responded and the fiancee chuckled.

"Is that so?" She asked and he glanced at her as she looked around the guild and her eyes spotted Isamu and Terou.

"I believe you, tell me, where is their owner, Nessa?" She asked and he glanced at Isamu and Terou.

"She went out to get something to eat for all of them, she left these two behind since she wouldn't be long," He responded and the king glanced at them then smirked.

"Is that so? Well, you don't mind if my men take a look around do you?" The king asked.

"Even as the king you have no right to do that here without any good reason, your highness, this is our home, it's private," He responded and the king's eyes narrowed.

"So is that a no? You don't want us to have a look? That could be because you are hiding something and if I have a suspicion against any one of my citizens, then I have every right to look into it without any interference," He said and the prince smiled at him.

"I understand, but according to the previous king's and queen's agreement, the royals have nothing to do with this guild which means despite this guild being within this city, in this kingdom, you have no authority here, this is my home, we have nothing to hide and I don't have to prove it to anyone," He replied, realizing that Nessa must have known more about the diamond than she was letting on.

"Is that so? I am your king now, I am the authority, their agreement doesn't apply to me, though I am a bit curious, how are you so close with the pervious king and queen? Why? Is there something you should be telling us?" The king asked with a smirk and the prince chuckled.

"Nothing that should concern you, after all, their business has nothing to do with you, you are not even family so I would like you and your men to leave at once," He responded as the king's eyes began glowing bright orange and the others looked at each other as the prince clenched his fist in anger.
