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.

"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.
