Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 224: To be careful

When Nessa arrived back at the guild, the others saw her and approached her and she smiled at them.

"Hey guys," She said and they smiled.

"Are you okay?" Sophia asked.

"Yeah, I am fine, let's sit down, we will talk," She responded and they nodded, then took a seat and Terou placed his paw on Nessa's feet and she looked at him then smiled and patted him on the head and the others smiled.

"Don't worry, I am just fine, I am always careful around people like that," She said then patted Isamu on the head before exhaling deeply and looking at the others, who were anxious to hear what happened.

"So what happened?" Sophia asked.

"Nothing that interesting, to be honest, I have got a strong feeling that they are about to do something that might not be so good, but it's just a feeling, I think the king is now on to me as well, they won't stop, he sounded as though he disagreed with his fiancee but the look in his eyes were saying something else," She responded.

"So he sent for you as well?" Niva asked.

"No that was not him, it was her, he bumped into me by chance, you should have heard him talk about how he wants to earn trust and he is doing everything he can to show that he can be trusted, he will take care of this kingdom it's what the king wanted and so on, he can really sell that sob story that's for sure," Nessa responded while clenching her fists as she remembered how the king died before her eyes and the others exchanged glances, knowing something else was bothering her as well.

"Yeah, he can sell that sob story and some might fall for it, so since it was her who called you to the castle, how did the chat go with the king joining unexpectedly?" Yonja asked.

"We didn't get to talk much, he just warned both of us to stop it and I guess get along, but it's clear to me that they meant something else by it, she originally called me there to question me though, she still wants to more about me especially where I am from," She responded and they sighed.

"Well, this is going to get a lot more complicated, isn't it?" Ian asked.

"Yeah, it is, they are not done and I think unlike us they are willing to do to a higher extent to get an answer than we are," She responded and they sighed.

"Are you going to be okay, Nessa?" Cortan asked and Nessa smiled at him.

"I am perfectly fine, I just need to be a little more careful because this time, things are just a lot more complicated now, especially when you don't really know what their plan is," She responded.

"So you have dealt with a similar situation before?" Niva asked.

"Not quite, it was just a bit similar, in a few ways at least, however, I want you guys to be a bit more careful, we are friends and I am worried they might use that against us," She responded.

"She is right, they might use that against us, but since we are together most of the time, we will be able to look out for each other," Ian said and the others nodded.

"Well, I guess this time it's us being more careful and not ready to destroy everything in our path, we will help deal with the royals for now we have got a small job to do rounding up a bunch of cattle, they are paying each of us a fair amount, we might as well build up our account," Yonja replied.

"You guys accepted that job, well, I might as well come along with you, I need a distraction," Nessa said and the others smiled.

"We know that's why we placed you in there to go with us as well, so come on," Yonja said as he got up and she smiled then followed them out of the guild.

"So where are we headed exactly?" Nessa asked as they walked down the street and Terou jumped up in her arm and she smiled.

"We're going to a small village on the other side of the capital; it's nice there, and the people are having problems with a bunch of wild animals and need help rounding them up, that's where we come in,  it's the type of help which we can provide because it's not like the knights are going to come in handy right now," Ian responded and Nessa sighed.

"Well, under the king's command, I don't think that the knights are going to be any use indeed," Nessa said and the others agreed with her as she yawned.

"Sleepy?" Niva asked.

"No, I am just thinking about a few things," She responded and they smiled at her while walking down a valley and Nessa smiled at the flowers that they passed by and Isamu sniffed some of them.

"Lady Nessa, these are some of the flowers that we have back home as well," Isamu said and Nessa smiled before patting him and he stretched off as she saw that they had arrived at the village and the others smiled.

"It's nice, isn't it?" Yonja asked.

"Yeah, it's a nice and small village, and they live in a nice area, but I'm sure they'll have wild animal problems because they live here," Nessa responded, and Yonja nodded.

"You are correct, but they are unwilling to relocate, so they either tame the wild animals and make a living with them or do something else," Ian said.

"Well, it is, after all, their home, so it's only natural that they won't want to leave," Nessa replied and they nodded.

"Well, come on, let's go, we'll talk to the chief or whatever, then we'll wait for them to go on a rampage and we'll take care of everything from there, there are a lot of wild animals though so let's see how this turns out," Yonja said as he walked away, and they followed him into the village, where the people smiled and the chief came out of his house to greet them.
