Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 215: Followed

A while after Nessa finished taking her bath, she got dressed then came out of the bathroom and tired her hair up in a fancy bun and when she finished, she exhaled deeply before looking at Isamu and Terou who approached her and she smiled and patted them on their heads.

"Are you guys ready to go?" She asked and they nodded; then she opened the room door and they left the inn.

While walking down the street, heading to the guild, Nessa looked around at how lively the city was and how many different things they were doing, despite their current problems, they knew still knew how to have fun.

"Lady Nessa, is someone following us?" Isamu asked and she glanced at him, then looked around and sighed.

"I don't know," She responded quietly as they arrived at the guild and Nessa smiled upon seeing how many people were there.

"Nessa," Sophia said as she approached her and Nessa smiled.

"Sophia, am I on time?" She asked.

'Yeah, you are right on time, come on in," She responded as she grabbed Nessa by the arm and pulled her inside and the others smiled after seeing her.

"You made it," Ian said and she nodded.

"Guys, I think someone.." Nessa said as Niva hugged her from behind and she jumped before sighing and looking back at the girl, who grinned.

"You want to give her a heart attack, Niva?" Yonja asked and Niva chuckled.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you," Niva said and Nessa smiled.

"Not quite," Nessa responded as Sophia crouched down and Terou looked at her as she brought forth her hand, wanting to pat him and he looked at Nessa who smiled before lowering his head then she smiled and patted him and the others smiled.

"Well, Nessa, come and eat with us, we are hungry and I think we are going to be here for a while, do you have some place else to go or so?" Yonja asked.

"No, I have nowhere else to be, here is where I probably should stay for a while so that I don't cause unnecessary problems for anyone," She responded and his eyes narrowed as Sophia looked at her.

"Is everything okay? You have been a bit on guard ever since you arrived," Sophia said and Nessa glanced at her with a gentle smile on her face.

"Yeah, I am fine, I just need to relax, that's all," She replied.

"All right, well come and join us for dinner, I promise that the food here is more than good," Sophia said as they went to the buffet and they took the food that they wanted along with drinks then went and sat down by a table.

Before Nessa started eating, she gave Isamu and Terou their share, then they all began eating.

While eating, Nessa got more irritated, knowing that someone was watching her made her feel uncomfortable, especially when she didn't know why and she opened a bottle of juice and drank it when she saw someone with green eyes staring at her in a corner with a hood on their head, but Nessa pretended like she didn't see anything and sighed.

'I'm getting angry, this isn't going to end well for this person, I don't like this...' Nessa thought as she clenched her fists and gnashed her teeth, and Niva saw her.

"You are angry about something, aren't you?" Niva asked and Nessa glanced at her.

"No, I'm not angry; I'm just irritated about something, but it's okay, I'll be fine; now let's just eat and enjoy our meal, I am pretty sure I will get to deal with that later," She responded, and Niva smiled, and they continued eating their food.

Nessa looked for the person who was staring at her, but saw that he or she was no longer there, but she knew he or she was somewhere in the crowd, and Nessa wanted to know why she was being followed and planned to get some answers.
