Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 134: Cool

"Good morning, lady Nessa," Akio said and she glanced at him with a gentle smile on her face.

"Good morning Akio, thanks for staying by my side last night, did you sleep well?" She asked as he stretched off as she opened the house door and he exhaled deeply as the fresh minty air blew against his body and she chuckled.

"I slept like a log my lady, how about you? Did you sleep well last night?" He asked.

"Yes, I slept well last night, my body is well relaxed and now I can get back to training, I have a lot to improve on," She responded as she went into the kitchen and began making breakfast and he looked at her.

"How is your training going with Yanka?" He asked.

"It's going fine, one thing is for sure, that guy is a great teacher, a lot more are going to go to him because they want to learn to defend themselves now," She responded.

"That's good, they got scared because of what's been going on recently?" He asked.

"I guess so, but this is good, that way no one will be able to take advantage of them, this is for the best," She responded and he nodded as she began humming while cooking and he stared at her.

"How good of a cook are you, Lady Nessa?" He inquired.

"Because of my previous home, I can cook a variety of dishes, some of which they have never heard of before; I intend to make the most of my abilities and pass them on; I intend to teach Liya as well because she enjoys cooking, and once I teach her, others will pick up on it as well; do you think that's a good idea?" She asked.

"Yes, I think that's a good idea, a lot of people love trying different things, especially when it's something they have never heard of," He responded and she smiled.

"That's what I thought at first; I just hope I can bring my ideas to life; that would be fantastic," She said.

"I am confident you will be able to pull it off; if anyone can, it is you, lady Nessa; there is a lot that you have achieved that others can only dream of, you are great; you should believe that a little more," He replied, and she chuckled before spinning around in the kitchen and he sighed while looking at her.

'I hope her dreams come true as well, she is doing a lot, selfish reasons or not, that doesn't matter, the risks she is willing to take are proving quite a lot, I wonder what others will do when they find out it's a young girl building this nation and not a guy,' Akio thought while looking at his master and closing his eyes, feeling relaxed.

After a while, Nessa finished her cooking, she gave Akio his portion and ate her breakfast before going to freshen up and go about her morning routine.

Nessa didn't want to waste time because she needed to continue training as well as do her other work, which no one else could do at the time because everyone else had their own work to do around town.

After Nessa finished what she needed to, she and Akio left the house and went to the town center, where the others were already up and waiting like usual.

"Good morning guys," She said as she approached them and they smiled at her.

"Good morning, lady Nessa," They replied while bowing their heads and she exhaled deeply.

"If only I can get used to that or if only you guys can stop," She mumbled and Dalia patted her on the shoulder.

"You'll have to get used to it; it's our way of showing how much we respect you; we'll try to stop if that's what you want because you'll know that no matter what, you have our respect and love, lady Nessa," Dalia said with a grin, and Nessa smiled and patted her on the head.

"That's good to know, Dalia, thank you for being considerate; the bowing of heads isn't something I think I'll be able to get used to any time soon," She replied and Dalia sighed.

"That's understandable lady Nessa, you are quite a simple person when certain things are concerned but you are quite complicated to understand at times, you are mysterious in many ways, it's nice having you around at all times to be honest, but we know you won't be because you have many other things to do," Dalia said and Nessa chuckled.

"Yeah, I have to leave again, I won't make any alliances just like that, I need to see certain things for myself," She replied and Dalia smiled as she pulled out a chair then sat down and stretched off.

"It's nice and cool this morning, and this feeling is nice," Nessa said, and they smiled at her.

"It is nice and cool this morning, indeed," Liya replied and Nessa nodded.

"Lady Nessa, you're not leaving until we've dealt with the Orcs, right?" Liya inquired, and Nessa gave her a sidelong glance.

"No, I'm not leaving until this is over; if I leave and something happens, I won't be able to return in time," She replied, and they sighed.

"You are right about that, but don't worry so much, we will defend ourselves as well, we have improved a lot in everything, including fighting," Riki said and Nessa smiled at him.

"I know you guys have gotten better at everything, it's great, I know I can rely on you guys, but I am also a leader, that cannot always happen, you guys have to learn to rely on others as well, for now, let's just all focus on getting rid of those Orcs because we have a lot more to get done and the year will be coming to an end pretty soon, I hope they come out as soon as possible and get rid of them one way or the other because we cannot let them do as they please, they will not gain dominance," She replied, and they all agreed with her since they didn't want to lose their new home.
