Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 277: Stay together

After the prince raised off of Nessa, he sat down and she lowered her head as he stared at her, knowing that she knows more than she was letting on but he didn't want to push Nessa too far.

"Well, it's already night, you guys should get some rest and I am really sorry about today," The prince said and they looked at him then smiled.

"You don't have to apologize for anything, none of this is your fault, they are to be blamed, not you," Ian replied and the prince smiled at them before looking at Nessa and she smiled then got up.

"Are you guys sure you want to stay separately?" Nessa asked and they looked at her then at each other.

"You don't think it's a good idea if we stay apart?" Yonja asked.

"No, I don't think it's a good idea, I think it's quite a bad one, you guys need to stay together until all of this is over or else what happened earlier could happen again and this time we might not be able to come back from it," Nessa responded and Sophia exhaled deeply.

"I have a big place, we can all stay there," Yonja said and the others nodded then Nessa smiled.

"Good, the prince on the other hand will be staying where he usually does, nothing will happen to him so you guys don't need to worry so much, got it?" Nessa asked and they smiled at her then Ian patted her on her shoulder.

"You need to be careful as well, you don't only have to worry about us only," Ian responded and Nessa smiled then patted him on the shoulder.

"Take care of each other, got it?" She asked and he scoffed.

"Yeah, we hear you, good night, guys," Ian said and the prince smiled then wished them a good night and they all left the inn going to the places they had to stay.

While Nessa was on her way to the inn, Isamu looked at her then tapped her on her side with his tail and she looked at him.

"What's the matter?" She asked.

"Do one of us have to watch over him?" Isamu asked and she lowered her head then sighed and Isamu looked at Terou.

"There is no need for that, due to the barrier around him, I will know if anyone tries to attack him as well, you guys don't have to go anywhere, I am not going risk you guys as well," She responded and they sighed then stayed silent, not saying another word seeing how much she cared for everyone and placed them before her own needs.

Upon arriving back at the inn, they went to have dinner in the dining room and once they were finished, they returned to their room and Nessa locked the door before stretching off and looking at the two who threw themselves on the bed and she chuckled.

"I am going to freshen up, you guys can get your rest in the meantime," She said and they nodded then she grabbed her clothes and went to freshen up.

"Isamu, I want to get stronger," Terou said and Isamu glanced at him.

"Why?" Isamu asked and Terou exhaled deeply then looked at him.

"To help protect her as well, she is trying to protect everyone else but what about herself?" He asked as Isamu stared at him then lowered his head.

"You are right, she doesn't worry about herself that much which is not a good thing, at least we have to watch out for her, I will help you get stronger, Terou," He responded and Terou thanked him then Isamu patted him on the head.

A while later, Nessa had finished taking her bath and she got dressed then exited the bathroom and saw that the two were still awake and she smiled at them before sitting down on the bed.

"You didn't have to wait, you know, aren't you guys tired as well?" Nessa asked and they nodded, then she smiled and patted both of them on their heads.

"Well, go get your rest now, good night," She said before covering herself with the blanket and they both looked at her.

"Good night, lady Nessa," They replied before closing their eyes and she smiled then turned the lights off.

A while after, they all fell asleep since they were all tired and needed to get their rest if they intended to fight the king and get him and his minions out of the kingdom.

Little did Nessa know that the next morning, held something else in store for all of them, a situation which wouldn't give them much options.

The next morning, when Nessa woke up, she sat up, then wiped her eyes before yawning and stretching off.

"Good morning, lady Nessa," Terou and Isamu said and she looked at them then smiled.

"Good morning guys, it's always nice to wake up seeing you guys in the morning," She replied before getting out of the bed and they looked at each other then Terou got up and pulled the curtain within the room, allowing the sunlight to enter and Nessa smiled at him then patted him on the head.

"Good work, you two," She said.

"Thank you," They replied as Nessa went and grabbed her clothes.

"Lady Nessa, same routine today?" Isamu asked.

"Yes, we will have breakfast then we will head to the guild, we have to figure out another way as well to get rid of them, they are causing a bit too much problem and we have to get rid of them, in order to do that, I think the prince needs to come clean with the people," She responded and Ismau nodded then Nessa sighed.

"We will see what to do, it's also his choice, so, I will go freshen up then we will head down to eat breakfast, I won't be long," She said then went to freshen up while the two sat on the couch, waiting for her to finish while Terou explained how his abilities work to Isamu so that he will be able to teach him different ways to use them as well as getting stronger.
