Chapter 65: Bit pale

"Are you okay, Nessa?" Tina asked as she tered the living room, and Nessa smiled at her.

"Yeah, I'm fine," She responded.

"Are you certain? You seem a bit pale, which is unusual for you," Tina said and Nessa patted her on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, I am just fine, relax," She replied and Tina sighed.

"Well the prince is in his office now and it's hours after lunch, you two spt a while at that meeting, I am going to take his food to him for you, relax a bit," Tina said.

"Thank you very much, Tina," Nessa replied.

"You have be taking care of the king better than anyone here, it's the least I can do for you," She said th left and Nessa sighed before laying back on the couch and closing her eyes.

"My lady," Akio said as he appeared before her and she glanced at him and th patted him on the head.

"Are you going to be okay?" He asked, and she sighed.

"Yeah, I will be fine, it's just a bit of a headache, that's all, there is no need for you to get so worried, one minute," She responded as she got up.

Nessa wt to the kitch, and Akio followed her through her shadow. Wh she arrived, she gave Akio food to eat while keeping an eye out for anyone else.

After a few minutes, Akio finished eating and she looked at him.

"Full?" She asked.

"Yes, I'm full, and thank you for the meal," He responded, and she chuckled.

"Did you hear everything they talked about?" She asked.

"Yes, I heard everything clearly, and I can tell you this much, my lady, they are up to no good," He responded and she sighed.

"Day off? Why?" She asked.

"You are not feeling well, right?" He asked and she sighed.

"I am fine, I was just tired, I guess," She responded and he smiled.

"It's amazing how you can work, you have tak a liking to the king, hav't you?" He asked and she looked at him.

"Yes, I have; is that a problem?" He scoffed wh she asked.

"No, I just don't want you to get too close, he isn't going to be here forever, especially in his currt state," he responded, and she clched her fists.

"How do you know that? Maybe he will recover," She said and he looked at her.

"I'm just saying, Nessa, that the chances of him recovering are slim, I love my uncle, you know," He replied as he lowered his head, and she sighed.

"If you do, I suggest you have a little hope; you will be surprised if he recovers, and the first person to get a nice welcome will be you," She said as she stood up, and he looked at her.

"You seem agitated," He replied, and she scoffed.

"That's your fault, the way you spoke just now got on my nerves, you seem hopeless, I don't care if I'm being rude, I call it as I see it and I don't care who likes it or who doesn't, do as you please, no problem," She said and he chuckled.

"Now you are quite a spicy young lady, it wouldn't be a bad idea to keep you as my mistress, if only you'd just give in," He replied, and she sighed before holding onto her head and smiling at him.

"Is that all?" She asked.

"I'm serious; do you want a day off?" He asked.

"No, I don't think I'll need one, but thank you for offering; that was quite gerous of you." She responded and he smiled at her as she stared at him

"You are welcome; go on, get some rest; I won't need anything for the time being; wh I do, I will call on you, you will have to leave whatever you are doing and get to it, so be alert," He said th she left ev angrier with him after what he said.
