Ascension of the Monster Queen

When Nessa finished eating her breakfast, she left the inn with Isamu and Terou and then headed to the guild where she saw the others were already waiting outside.

Nessa smiled and approached them and they looked at her.

"Morning," Sophia said.

"Morning guys," Nessa replied as Sophia patted Terou on the head.

Since she took her time touching him, he began growling at her and Yonja grabbed onto her hand and pulled her away from him.

"Hey, there is a limit, stop invading the poor creature's space," Yonja said and Sophia grinned as Nessa chuckled then patted Terou on the head while Isamu chuckled.

Nessa was about to say something when she looked and saw the king heading their way with the captain of the knights by his side and Nessa smiled at him.

"Good morning guys, seems like this is it, huh?" He asked.

"Good morning," They replied and Nessa sighed.

"So, you guys got your answers ready for her?" The king asked as they exchanged glances. Your journey continues at empire

"Yes, we have our answers, but will you be okay with it though, your highness?" Yonja asked and the king smiled as the members of the guild joined them and they left staring at them.

"Guys, I have all of them, I made a lot of friends over the years, some of whom I can share almost anything with now, you don't have to worry about me, I just want you guys to choose what's best for your future," He responded and Nessa smiled before lowering her head.

Isamu tapped her on her feet and she flinched before looking at him since she was lost in her own thoughts.

"It's okay," She said then patted Isamu on his head before looking at Yonja and the others.

"Lady Nessa, we have our answer, are you ready to hear it?" Yonja asked and she smiled then nodded.

"Yes," They responded and Nessa smiled brightly as well as the king.

She sighed in relief, then patted Yonja on the shoulder and he chuckled, then the receptionist as well as a few other members of the guild brought their bags and gave it to them and they collected them.

"I am glad you guys came to a decision but, I might be facing a lot of problems in the future, are you sure that this is what you want to do?" Nessa asked and they nodded then she sighed and the king patted Yonja on the shoulder.

"I am glad you guys made this decision for yourselves and I am happy for you all, also, Nessa if you do get into trouble in the future, remember you can always count on our help here, got it?" The king asked and Nessa smiled at him then he hugged her and she flinched and then patted him on the back.

"Got it, if I ever need help, I will reach out to you, I am likely to need it with the path that I am going on," She responded as he raised off of her and lowered his head.

"Don't worry about me, certain things have to happen, all you can do is stop it and I have no intention of ever giving up what's mine, I will reach out though," Nessa said and the king smiled.

"That's good to know, but I also hope that you won't have to face any grave problems," He replied. She chuckled and then looked at the group that she would be travelling with.

"So where are you going now?" Ian asked as he placed his bag on his back.

"I have to go to another place, it will be the last place I will try to form an alliance with for now, if I get through it will be more than just enough, but I think I will be taking someone with me as well, for now, I will take you guys to your new home," She responded and they smiled brightly.

Sophia grabbed onto Nessa's arm and hugged her tightly and Nessa flinched before she looked at the girl.

"Thank you, Nessa, this means a lot to us, this is the first time we have ever made a decision like this, I can wait to see what it's like," Sophia said and Nessa smiled at her.

"Stop being clingy," Yonja said as he pulled her away from Nessa and the others laughed.

"You are so mean," Sophia mumbled, he thumped her on her forehead and she pouted.

"Don't be so hard on her, she is better off the way she is right now, that's how you like her, am I right, Yonja?" She asked and he left staring at Nessa with a nervous smile on his face, Ian burst out laughing and Sophia's cheeks flushed as she turned away from them.

"She got you good there Yonja," Ian said and Yonja sighed.

"I don't know what she is talking about," Yonja replied and a smirk appeared on Ian's face.

"Really? Your expression as well as Sophia's is telling an entirely different story," Ian said and Yonja exhaled deeply.

"He is like a Yandere not only him," Nessa said and the king laughed as Yonja turned away.

"You guys are evil, stop teasing them so much, I hope I can come to visit someday, Nessa," The king said and she smiled at him.

"You can, you just have to make the time, here," She said before placing a piece of paper with a marking in his hand.

"What's this?" He asked.

"If you are ever in a hurry to find my home, it will lead you and only you there, you can bring what you want, but only you can follow it, now it's time we take our leave," She responded and he sighed before smiling and placing it inside of his pocket.

"Are you guys ready?" She asked.

"Yeah," They responded and she grinned.

"All right, let's go, see you sometime soon, your highness," Nessa said with a smile, and the king nodded then bowed his head to her and she did the same.

Nessa then walked away and the others followed her while the king and the members of the guild waved at them, bidding them farewell and wishing them good luck.
