Ascension of the Monster Queen

Later that day, while they were walking, the sun began setting and Nessa looked up at the sky and a gentle smile appeared on her face as she stared at the sun behind the hills and the demon glanced at her.

"Are you going to stop for the night? I won't be able to call on the dragon, we are in the open, people will see and you said you don't want to call too much attention to yourself," He said and she glanced at him then scoffed.

"You really hate walking this far, don't you?" She asked and he scoffed then she smiled and stretched off.

Nessa was about to say something to him, but at the same time, they saw a coach passing by along with a cart and it stopped by them and the demon looked at the middle-aged woman that peeked out of the coach.

"Hello," The woman said and Nessa smiled at her.

"Hello," She replied.

"If you don't mind me asking, are you youngsters lost? There is nothing here and it's getting late, are you going somewhere?" She asked.

"We are not lost, we are going somewhere a while away from here," Nessa responded and the woman sighed.

"Oh? Then do you guys want a ride? There is a small village not that far from here, that's where we are from," The man at the front of the coach said and Nessa glanced at the demon.

'It's best if we take the ride and get somewhere to sleep in the village, then leave in the morning,' She thought.

"Please and thank you," She replied and they smiled at them.

"Then, hop in, we are not rich, so excuse the small space," The woman said as they entered and sat down near each other.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"This is just fine, you were kind enough to give us a ride, that's enough," Nessa replied and the woman smiled at her as they took off and the demon glanced at her before looking outside.

After a while of riding, they arrived at the village and the coach came to a halt at the entrance and they exited it then the woman looked at them.

"Thank you," Nessa and the demon said.

"You are welcome if you guys have nowhere else to go for the night, this house here is empty, you can stay here, I assure you, you won't have any sort of problem, it used to be my son's," The woman replied and Nessa peeked at the house then at the woman.

'I am not used to certain things, despite my growth lately...' Nessa thought as she a certain look in the woman's eyes and her brows furrowed.

"We will use it for the night," She said and the woman sighed.

"Go ahead, if you guys need anything, we are only a few houses away, the one with the blue roof is ours," She replied and Nessa smiled at her then they left.

Nessa entered the yard and she approached the house, then opened the door and her eyes glowed orange and flames formed around her fingers, then she saw candles on each wall and she lit all of them.

'Is this place safe?' Nessa thought.

[Yes, it is safe, there is no sign of magic here either, you can stay without having to worry about anything.]

Nessa sighed, then looked at the demon and he stretched off, then yawned and he peeked at her.

'He is so carefree, what's his deal?' She wondered.

"What's the matter?" He asked.

"Nothing," She responded then locked the door and a blue magic circle appeared in front of her.

A bed came out of the magic circle and he left staring at it and she scoffed then sat down on it.

'If I were alone, this would have been easier, but...' She thought as he dusted an old bed on the floor and she began coughing.

'What do you think you are doing, demon?" She asked and he looked back at her as she stared at him with a black reaction and he chuckled.

"I am making a place for myself, I am not someone who fends off of others," He responded.

"I see, please don't do that, it's night, I will give you something else to use just now, are you hungry?" She asked as she opened her bag and he sat down beside her.

She handed him his share of food which was still warm and he thanked her then she smiled a little and both of them began eating their dinner.

"You know, I am not the only one that's a bit carefree here," He said and she glanced at him as she ate.

"I see, then, are you referring to me?" She asked.

"Well, there is no one else here at the moment other than me and you, is there?" He asked and she sighed.

"Me? Carefree huh? Well, even if that's true, it's not always like that so, it doesn't matter," She responded and his eyes narrowed.

"I see, tell me, once you find the one responsible for all of the mess, what are you going to do?" He asked and she sipped her juice and then glanced at him.

"What would you do?" She asked.

"Just so you know, I will not hesitate to kill the people I believe deserves to die, which means people like them, so you already know my answer," He responded and she smiled a little.

"Yeah, I have no right to judge who gets to live and who doesn't but in this situation, a lot of innocent has been killed, that I do know, no reason, is worth their lives, which means, the one who is the cause of this, no reason he or she could possibly have would be worth it, if you stick around long enough, you will see what I will do when I get to the bottom of all of this," She said and he smirked and she glanced at him.

"We shall see, I am finished, here, thank you," He replied and she smiled a little then looked within her dimensional storage to find something for him to sleep on but realized there was nothing more and she had only packed for one.

Nessa looked at the demon and he glanced at her then she sighed.

"I will sleep just like this, don't worry, go to sleep," He said.

'Ugh... This situation, what the hell should I do? I wonder if I should just leave him be?' She thought before lowering her head, he looked at her and then smiled a little and her eyes narrowed.
