Ascension of the Monster Queen

Nessa had ordered more than enough food for herself as well as Terou and Isamu.

"Are you still thinking about whether you should go home after you finish dealing with things here?" Cortan asked.

"Yeah, I have to make a decision, I don\'t like coming and going all of the time, it would be good if I can just get everything done before going back; that way I won\'t have to think about the next time I have to leave," She responded and they looked at each other before returning their gazes to her and she exhaled deeply.

"You\'re in a tough spot there, Nessa, well you have time to think about it, relax your mind a little and think clearly, think about what needs to be done, your responsibilities, whether it will be easier and best if you do everything at once, then return home and stay there for a long time or keep going and coming, I personally would just do what needs to be done before going home," Yonja said, and Nessa looked at him.

\'He is correct, it would be easier that way, but I will always be concerned about what is going on at home, I just need to clear my mind and think clearly, one more alliance with a trustworthy nation and that would be enough for now, there will be no need to create more as yet...\' Nessa pondered.

[Lady Nessa, his method is correct; you\'ll have a lot more time on your hands and will be able to help them more at home without having to leave anything halfway to go somewhere else.]

\'Yeah, I know, I do have time right now; I\'ll use it to think about what I should do, and then I\'ll make a decision, thank you,\' She thought.

[You are most welcome.]

"Here\'s the food you guys ordered," The waitress said as she approached them with a waiter and they placed everything down on the table, then Nessa paid for the meal and everything else and they left.

"Well, shall we start eating, Nessa?" Sophia asked and Nessa looked at her and smiled.

"I\'m hungry as well, so yeah," She responded before moving Isamu and Terou to another part of the tavern where the majority of the animals were and feeding them before returning to the others to eat her food.

While Nessa was eating, she poured herself a glass of wine and drank it, then sighed in relief as to how refreshing it was for her and the others smiled after seeing that she had finally relaxed herself.

"Are you okay now?" Ian asked.

"Yeah, I was fine then as well, but now that I am better, I will make a decision just before I leave here when we are done dealing with this problem and then see who will be sitting on the throne next," She responded and they left staring at her.

"We have to take care of that as well?" Niva asked.

"Yeah, we have to take care of that as well, we cannot leave the kingdom vulnerable, without a ruler, it will be, people could fight for the throne if there is no one sitting on it which could throw order out of balance, it could literally cause chaos," She responded as they exchanged glances then Yonja sighed.

"I am pretty sure this is our hardest job yet," Ian said and Yonja nodded.

"I for one think that might be true as well, we have never had to do anything like this before, it\'s definitely the first and the last, this is too stressful, I guess..." Yonja replied and Nessa chuckled.

"Too much responsibility?" Nessa asked.

"Yes, we are all responsible here, but we have never handled anything like this before, this is just too different, you will have to worry about whether you make the wrong choice and so on," Yonja responded.

"It\'s too frustrating, that\'s one way to put it," Ian added.

"Yeah, there are many other ways to describe it as well," Cortan said and Nessa chuckled then patted Yonja on the shoulder, and he exhaled deeply before looking at her.

"Well, I know a lot about these things, so you guys won\'t have to worry, relax a bit, clear your mind before you go nuts," Nessa said and they laughed.

"How can you handle certain things?" Sophia asked.

"I am used to it, I handled something similar to this before," Nessa responded and the girl smiled at her.

"You are just great, we know royals have a lot to deal with but for an outsider to handle things, it\'s usually hard, this kingdom will always be indebted to you, you should know that," Sophia said.

"She is right, if you hadn\'t come here, none of us would have figured out what the so-called king and his fiancee were up to," Yonja added and Nessa sighed.

"Well, you guys would have but a bit later, don\'t worry about that right now, you guys need to relax and eat your food, stop thinking about certain things," Nessa said and they laughed, then continued eating her food and Nessa drank the wine she poured for herself then smiled after exhaling deeply.

"Refreshing huh?" Niva asked.

"Yeah, it\'s quite refreshing, it makes you feel nice while drinking it, soothing," She responded and they smiled at her as she continued eating her food.

"If you guys want more things, just order, don\'t hesitate, enjoy yourselves, like I said, tonight is my treat, you might as well order what you want to try," Nessa said and Yonja chuckled then patted her on the shoulder.

"We are good," He replied and she grinned, then they continued talking about different things while eating.
