Ascension of the Monster Queen

Hearing the others had not checked in, the prince sighed and the receptionist went back to work then she looked at the prince who clenched his fists and Nessa glanced at Terou and Isamu.

"We will wait half an hour more then we will go look for them, got it?" Nessa asked and the prince looked at her then he smiled.

"You think something might have happened to them, don't you?" He asked.

"Yes, I will tell you the info I got only a few minutes ago," She responded.

"Info?" He asked.

"Yes, they are coming for you, they don't care who gets in the way, but they will get what they want at any cost, they don't care who they have to kill for that," She responded and his eyes widened as he turned around, looking at the members within the guild before lowering his head.

"They don't care, huh?" He asked and Nessa sighed.

"They can protect themselves, they are not weak, you need to start thinking about what move you will make because if they did something to the others, I am the one that they will be facing," She responded and he looked at her then took a deep breath.

The prince knew he had to tell the people the truth about who he is but more than that he was worried about their safety and Nessa understood that.

"If something is currently happening, I will help protect you, you don't have to worry so much, I will help the others as well, whether you want to tell them who you are, that's your choice, you get to choose what to do and what not to but let's not jump and do anything as yet, let's wait and see what happens," She said and the prince smiled at her.

"Thank you for being more than just considerate Nessa," He replied and she smiled at him.

"You don't have to thank me, you have been through a lot and I understand that, you lost a lot, now you have a chance to gain it all back, but you need to be more careful, all right, She said and he nodded.

"Yeah, I will be careful, don't worry, there is a barrier around me as well, it's all thanks to you guys," He replied and she smiled then nodded.

Nessa and the prince decided to wait at the guild for a while more to see if the others would come and while waiting the receptionist got them refreshments and they talked about a lot of things.

The time that they had agreed on passed like joke and Nessa noticed that Yonja and Sophia had come to the guild and she smiled when she saw them then her eyes widened when she saw that Yonja's hand was bleeding and she flung up from her seat when she saw tears in Sophia's eyes.

"What happened?" Nessa asked as they approached them.

"Niva, Cortan and Ian, they were captured, i don't know when but we bumped into a few of the men about an hour ago and I had a little talk with them, but they won't say where they are, Nessa," Yonja said and Nessa clenched her right fist as her eyes began glowing bright green.

"Do you guys know exactly when they were taken?" The prince asked.

"Not exactly when but I think it was this morning, when they were about to leave to come here, it must have been the ones that were following us last night," Sophia responded and Nessa lowered her head and the prince as well as Isamu and Terou glanced at her.

"Isamu, Terou, split up within the shadows and search for them, you guys have their scents right?" Nessa asked and they nodded then left in search of the three whom were captured.

"We have to find them before something happens," The prince said as Sophia lowered her head and Nessa looked at her.

"Wh- What if they are not here anymore?" Sophia asked and Yonja grabbed onto her arm and pulled her closer to him, hugging her and the prince gnashed his teeth.

"I will kill them if anything happens to those three," The prince said as his eyes began glowing bright green as well as his body and the others within the guild looked at him, wondering what was happening and why he was angry.

"Guild master," The receptionist said as she approached him and Nessa placed her hand on his shoulder and he flinched before going back to normal.

"Sorry," He said.

"What's going on? Why are you angry?" The girl asked and he smiled at her.

"It's nothing, don't worry about it, I will be gone for a while, if anyone needs me then they will have to wait or talk to you about it until I get back, got it?" He asked as she stared at him then he patted her on the head with a gentle smile on his face as the other members within the guild exchanged glances and Nessa looked at them then exhaled deeply.

"We cannot get them involved in this as yet, they want the diamond, I might as well give them a bit of surprise since they are desperate, let's see how far they are willing to go, I will start playing a little game with them," Nessa mumbled and the prince looked at her then smiled.

"Shall we go?" He asked.

"Guild master, are you guys sure everything is okay?" The girl asked and he looked at her then nodded.

"Yeah, everything is fine, go back to work," He responded before walking out of the guild and the girl went back to work without asking any further questions.

"So, where should we start looking?" Sophia asked as Terou appeared before Nessa and she looked at him then smiled.

"Did you find anything?" She asked.

"I'm not sure if it's to mislead us, but Isamu double-checked it, and it leads to the woods behind the castle," He responded, and they all turned to face the castle, while the three were chained up in a dilapidated building in the exact direction Terou had given Nessa.
