Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 133: Akio's suggestion

After thanking Riki and the others, Nessa continued eating her food, but a lot of thoughts ran through her head, and she wanted to know what had happened to their unknown guest and where Kurson was, but she also knew she had to wait until the girl regained consciousness to find out.

"Do you think the girl poses a threat to us, Lady Nessa?" When Youthim asked, Nessa looked at him and sighed.

"I don't think she is, based on how she spoke to me, but I know better than to trust people based on that; we'll find out more when she wakes up," Nessa responded after finishing her meal.

"Thank you for the meal, Liya," Nessa said and the girl smiled before collecting the plate and handing her a glass of drink.

"Your friend Kurson appears genuine, he seems to be a really good person, but this situation could be the opposite, the enemy did not hurt her, but she could be the enemy, those are just assumptions, but can you find where your friend is, lady Nessa?" Vill asked and Nessa lowered her head.

"Yeah, that assumption crossed my mind, we'll just have to wait and see, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to find him, he never really mentioned where he was from, where his home is, and so on, it's quite confusing," She responded and they sighed.

"Well, wherever he is, let's hope he's okay because this situation appears to be a little risky," Dalia said.

"I agree with Dalia; we need to be cautious until we discover her truth," Liya replied, and Nessa smiled.

"I am glad we are all on the same page here, for now, we will just focus on what's important, also it's getting late, you guys should head to bed, we still have a lot of work to do," Nessa said and they agreed as she stood up and smiled.

"Well, I will call it a night, I want to sleep right now, that's the only thing coming to my mind, good night guys," She said.

"Good night, lady Nessa, if you need anything later on, please come to us, we will help you in any way we can, we are here," Liya replied and Nessa patted her on the head.

"Got it, I will keep that in mind Liya, sleep well, bye, I will see all of you in the morning," Nessa said.

"See ya," They replied, then Nessa went to her house.

The first thing she did was take her clothes off and went to freshen up after which she got dressed and got into bed.

"Lady Nessa," Akio said as he entered her room and she looked at him.

"Akio, you have been busy," She replied as she sat up then patted him on the head and he began wagging his tail, happily.

"I have been keeping an eye on as well as helping around town lately, should I keep on doing that lady Nessa?" He asked and she chuckled.

"If that's what you want, go ahead Akio, there's nothing wrong with that as long as it's what you think is best for you, but do show me every now and then that you're fine, got it?" He gave her a sidelong glance after she asked.

"Got it, lady Nessa, also, lady Nessa, I have a request," He responded and she peeked at him.

"Okay, go on, let's hear what you want, it's okay Akio, please go ahead and ask," She said and he exhaled deeply before looking up at her.

"I have been on a mission with you already, I enjoyed it, I enjoy your company, but you already know that, however, there is one that needs to understand you a bit more, I think if you need to go somewhere else, I should stay back and that creature should join you," He replied and she smiled.

"Are you certain that this is what you want, Akio?" She inquired.

"Yes, I am pretty sure that this is the way to help and what I want, but this won't be happening often," He replied and she chuckled then passed her hand on his back and he looked at her.

"Well, now that you have made it clear that this is what you want, I will respect your feelings, but I would like to know the name of this creature Akio, can you tell me now?" She asked.

"Sure, I can tell you, it's Isamu," He responded and she exhaled deeply.

"Fine, I will take him with me the next time, this will be good for bonding, to be honest," She said and he nodded.

"To be honest, lady Nessa, he wants to get to know you better, but he keeps having second thoughts about approaching you, he is not as carefree with you as I am, we had a bit of a talk about you and I found out that, he respects you, I think you should have a talk with him," He replied as she lay back on the bed.

"I'll talk to him about it, possibly tomorrow Akio, thank you, I should have talked to him about it before, but I got too busy, thank you for bringing it up," She said, and he exhaled deeply.

"You would have done it without me reminding you lady Nessa after all, you consider everyone around you, I have noticed more than that, you put others before yourself, you are more than worthy of being the leader, don't ever question that," He replied and she smiled.

"Got it, I won't ever question myself when that is concerned, I am starting to get even more sleepy, Akio, good night," She said as she fell asleep and he covered her with her blanket.

"Good night, sweet dreams, lady Nessa," He replied before laying by her bedside.

When Nessa woke up the next morning after a long and good night's sleep, she saw Akio sleeping by her bedside and smiled before getting out of bed and stretching off, after which he woke up and looked at her, she patted him on the head, he wagged his tail, and she looked outside as the sunlight entered the room and she sighed.
