Ascension of the Monster Queen

Later that day, while they were walking at their own pace, Nessa's stomach growled and she came to a halt and the guy glanced at her and he chuckled and she exhaled deeply, feeling a bit embarrassed then looked at the time and realized it was after lunch.

"Lady Nessa, you can stop and relax a bit, I am pretty sure you are going to reach there on time with the pace that you have been going with so far," He said.

She glanced at him, then they went on to the valley beside them and she sat down under a large apple tree, then exhaled deeply as the cool wind brushed against her cheeks.

'Good thing I brought things to eat, I wonder if I should have used one of the other wolves or Terou? But...' She thought as the demon looked at her and she opened her bag.

Nessa took out the things she wanted to eat from her bag, then smiled and she glanced at the demon and sighed before taking out more from her bag.

"You like those, huh? If you were that hungry, you should have stopped earlier, it won't have made any difference," He said and her brows twitched as she stared at him.

"I am going to send you flying, idiot, these are for you as well, eat if you want to, if you don't leave it," She replied and he chuckled, then sat down and collected a bottle of juice and a cream-filled bread.

"Thank you, lady Nessa," He said then began eating her food and she glanced at him while eating as well.

"These are delicious, did you make them?" He asked.

"Yeah, I made those and kept it," She responded and he looked at her as she drank her juice and she glanced at him.

"What is it?" She asked.

"Nothing," He responded then continued eating his food and a smirk appeared on his face and she saw.

"Everything is a bit different with you and your city that place is one of a kind, I have asked this before, but, are you sure you are not scared of what's coming?" He asked and she scoffed.

"If I show any signs of fear, don't you think everything will fall or would have fallen by now?" She asked and he nodded.

"But, you are not fearless, you are willing to do whatever it takes to get your way though, aren't you?" He asked and she chuckled.

"Maybe, I will always do what is right to me, I have rules that I won't break, principles that I believe in and will follow, despite that though..." She responded as she clenched her right fist and his eyes narrowed.

"You don't have to tell me anything, it's understandable, also, there is another thing," He said and she looked at him.

"There is always another thing with you, that's what I know ever since we met, what is it?" She asked.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"At the castle, they will be expecting you, but I on the other hand," He responded and her eyes widened then she lowered her head.

"True, you just made things harder for me, ugh.." She said and he scoffed.

"Oh, idea, you will be my personal attendant for the time being," She said.

He looked at her immediately before getting up and she looked at him.

"Huh? Why would I agree to something like that? What do you take me for?" He asked and she smiled then stood up.

"Oh? Then you won't mind going back to where you came from and letting me go by myself? That's good to know, one less baggage," She responded and he gnashed his teeth before clenching his fist.

"You-" He mumbled and Nessa glanced back at him and he exhaled deeply.

"Whatever, it will just be for the time being anyway," He said and she wanted to laugh but held back.

"Then, it's settled, you will be my personal assistant, what should I call you?" She asked and he looked at her with his eyes narrowed.

"Call me whatever you want, I don't care," He responded and a smirk appeared on her face and he looked at her.

'What is she planning to call me?' He wondered and she exhaled deeply.

"What should I call you?" She asked, while thinking and he braced back against the tree and her eyes narrowed as she felt the energy surrounding him and he closed his eyes and she scoffed.

"If they ask your name, I am going to call you Kuruno, when no one is around, you are going to be called nothing, I will either say, you or hey, at least until you give a name of your own," She said and he exhaled deeply.

"Whatever, call me whatever you want, like I said, I don't care, but Kuruno is not that bad, you think fast," He replied and she scoffed before turning away from him and he chuckled.

"Lady Nessa, are you ready to keep going?" He asked and she glanced at him then sighed.

'Maybe I should just summon Terou but I don't want to draw attention in any way, this is different from the times I went to the other kingdoms,' She thought and he glanced at her.

"Lady Nessa, tell me, are you actually thinking about using one of your beasts?" He asked and she glanced at him.

"Yes, it will be easier but, I won't," She responded.

"I can use the dragon in the night not now though," He said and she sighed.

'Uh... How much longer until we arrive at our destination?' Nessa wondered.

[Even at this rate you guys will reach early, you can rest as much as you want, there is no need to worry and it's best not to summon any of them unless you are taking the woods.

"For now, we will continue on foot, it will be night soon anyway, doesn't make sense, tomorrow we will use a creature," She said as he passed his hand on her shoulder as he walked past her and she glanced at him then sighed before leaving their spot and continued walking.
