Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 243: Still there

When Nessa awoke the next morning, she saw Terou still sleeping beside her and smiled at him before moving her hand away from him and getting out of the bed.

Nessa stretched and looked in the mirror, wondering if Isamu was okay. She could still feel a strong connection to him, which made her feel a little better, knowing he was at least alive and well.

She knew they didn't have much time to waste and they had a lot to do as well, so she grabbed her clothes and went to freshen up as well as do her normal morning routine.

While Nessa was freshening up, Terou woke up and stretched off, then yawn and sat down on the bed, waiting for Nessa because he knew she was in the shower.

While he was waiting, Terou wondered whether Isamu was okay or not and he closed his eyes, focusing on the connection he had with Isamu and upon feeling that the connection between him and Isamu was still as strong as ever, he realized that Isamu was just fine and he sighed in relief before yawning once more then he got up and sat down by the window, looking out at the city.

After a while of waiting, Nessa finally finished taking her bath and doing her morning routine then she got dressed and exited the bathroom and saw Terou sitting by the window then smiled.

"Good morning," She said and he looked at her then bowed his head.

"Good morning, lady Nessa," He replied as she approached him, then lifted him up in her arms and patted him on the head.

"You need to loosen up a little, everything will be just fine, that much I can tell you," She said and he looked at her before exhaling deeply.

"I understand, also are you going to the guild this morning?" He asked and she lowered her head before sighing.

"I don't want to, but I will, let's have breakfast first though," She responded and he nodded then she smiled before leaving the room and going down to the dining room of the inn where she greeted everyone going morning and they wished her the same with smiling faces.

Nessa sat down and gave Terou his share of the food, then he thanked her and she took her share and they both began eating their breakfast.

After they finished, they left the inn, heading to the guild.

When they arrived at the guild, Nessa saw the others were already there and upon seeing her they smiled and she approached them.

"Good morning, guys," She said.

"Good morning," They replied then she sat down and they looked at her.

"So, had a good night's rest?" Yonja asked and Nessa chuckled.

"You can say I did and didn't at the very same time, I think you guys already know the reason as to why as well," She responded and they smiled at her.

"Yeah, we know that you are just worried about Isamu, is he okay though?" Yonja asked and Nessa smiled at him.

"Yeah, we both have a connection to him as well and it's still as strong as it was when he left so he is fine, for now, I thought he would have returned by now, but he hasn't and to be honest I am a bit worried but...." Nessa responded.

"But you trust him and you believe in him, which is why you didn't go to meet him as yet, am I right?" Ian asked and Nessa glanced at him, then he smiled and she sighed.

"Yeah, you are right, but I will be checking in on him soon, I can find him even though he is using the shadows," Nessa responded and Ian patted her on the shoulder.

"We understand if you need to go get him, also did you eat breakfast as yet?" Ian asked and Nessa smiled at him.

"Yeah, I had breakfast just before coming here, so did he," She responded and Ian smiled as Nessa passed her hand on Terou's head.

"Good morning guys," The guild master said as he approached him and Nessa looked at him as he sighed, then sat down and her eyes narrowed when she noticed his bruised up knuckles.

"Good morning," They replied as the others within the guild looked on since he had never sat with them like he was sitting with Yonja and the others.

"What happened to your hand?" Nessa asked and the guild master lowered his head before looking at her and smiling.

"I went to do a job on my own, took out a bit of my anger as well," He responded and she tapped him on the shoulder and he looked at her.

"What's the matter?" He asked.

"I am sorry about the king and queen, I really am, I might not have known them like you did, but I know what it's like to lose things so precious to you," She responded and his eyes widened as he clenched his fists then smiled.

"You have had that as well, huh? How many?" He asked.

"Three," She responded and he patted her on the shoulder as the others looked at each other.

"I am sorry," The guild master said.

"There is no need to be sorry, I got over it little by little, as will you if you can be strong, by heart," She replied and he sighed.

"You are right, thanks, Nessa," He said.

"You are welcome, most of us share one thing," She replied and he nodded.

"Are you going to check on Isamu right now, Nessa?" Sophia inquired as Nessa stood up.

"Yeah, I'm going to check on him now because I don't want to wait any longer because I have a feeling if I wait any longer, something bad will happen and I, for one, don't want him to get caught, no matter what because if he does, they will kill him so their secret can remain a secret and they can do whatever they want, and I am not going to let that happen," She replied, and they smiled.

She took a deep breath, and her eyes glowed blue.

"I am off," She said, but just as she was about to disappear within the shadows, Isamu appeared in front of her and she jumped as did the others.
