After finishing her bath, Nessa dressed and went into her bed, where she sighed and covered herself with her blanket.
"Good night, Akio," She said as he jumped onto the bed and lay next to her foot.
"Good night, my lady, sweet dreams," He replied, and she smiled before closing her eyes and falling asleep.
Nessa was concerned because she didn't know what would happen to the king if the prince discovered she was onto him, and she hoped he didn't.
When Nessa awoke the next morning, she felt much better and her head had stopped hurting as much.
"Good morning, my lady," Akio said as she stretched then looked at him and smiled.
"Good morning, Akio, thanks for keeping an eye on me again," She replied, patting him on the head.
"You're welcome; are you working today as well?" He asked and she sighed after getting out of bed.
"I really don't want to, but for the sake of the king, I will; are you hungry?" She asked.
