Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 138: Hunger



After hearing that they were hungry, Liya along with Dalia and Vill brought out dinner and placed it on the table which aroma Nessa sniffed in and smiled before getting up.

"Now, that smells great," She said and Liya chuckled.

"Villa and I made dinner and Dalia helped out with it, have a seat and eat your dinner lady Nessa, you need it," Liya replied and Nessa smiled before sitting down, after which Riki and the others joined them and Nessa took her food then poured herself a glass of cold juice and drank it.

"That felt good," Nessa said and Liya chuckled.

"Thank you for the meal," She added as she bowed her head.

"You are welcome," They replied then Nessa began eating.

While eating, Nessa's thoughts turned to their guest, and she sighed, wondering what had happened and when she would wake up.

"Lady Nessa, what are you thinking about?" Zeitaz asked as he approached them and Nessa looked at him with a gentle smile.

"About our guest, a lot has crossed my mind concerning her," She responded and Zeitaz sighed.

"That's understandable given that we don't know how much of what she says is true and how much is a lie; things like this can be quite confusing," He said as he sat down.

"True, it can and that can be quite irritating, but doesn't matter, we will find out the truth," She replied and he smiled.

"Yes, we will; in this case, the truth is all we need to make a simple decision, whether to believe or not, lady Nessa; if you want to go look for your friend, know that you can; don't stress yourself out too much," Zeitaz said.

"Are you worried, lady Nessa?" Villa asked and Nessa glanced at her then sighed.

"To be honest, not much; I hope he's safe, but I've decided not to leave here until I know the threat we're currently facing is gone; I'm your leader, and that comes first," She responded as they stared at her, and Vill smiled, knowing that nothing could easily change Nessa's mind, and they were pleased with her like always, even though it would be nice for them if she could think about herself as well.

Nessa got up and stretched after they finished eating, but she realized she was still hungry and sighed.

'Why am I eating so much?' Nessa wondered.

[You need to eat a lot because your body uses a lot of energy, more like your abilities, the more you eat the better it is for you, master, there is nothing to worry about.]

"I see, thank you," Nessa said.

[You are welcome; rest assured that if anything happens to you, I will know and will tell you in detail what's going on with your body; for the time being, just eat until you are satisfied; you won't get fat if that's what you're concerned about.]

Nessa wanted to laugh at the system's response, but instead, she smiled.

"I got it, don't worry, I'm not worried about that anymore either, you just took away my worries," Nessa mumbled, and the system chuckled.

"Lady Nessa, are you going home now?" Liya asked and Nessa glanced at her.

"Yes, I am, I am actually very sleepy right now," Nessa responded, clutching her stomach, and Liya smiled at her before handing her some sweets, which she collected before sighing.

"Thank you," She said.

"You are welcome, if you need anything come find us, don't hesitate, enjoy the sweets, I made them myself, I really hope you like them," Liya replied, Nessa smiled at her and then patted her on the head and she grinned.

"I'll keep that in mind, good night to all of you," Nessa said, and they all smiled.

"Good night, lady Nessa," They replied, then she waved at them before leaving.

When Nessa got home, she placed the sweets Liya had given her on her dining table and turned on the lights before closing the doors and going to freshen up.

A while after Nessa finished freshening up, she changed into her nightgown then looked outside at the stars shimmering in the night sky and exhaled deeply, allowing the fresh cold air to brush against her cheeks and when she felt relaxed, she got into bed and stretched off before covering herself with the blanket.

"Do you think that the girl I helped is bad?" Nessa asked as she was about to close her eyes and sighed.

[No, I don't, but you can never be too sure, people in this world are sly, enemies can be right in front of you and you won't know it, which is why the others are concerned as well, though the possibility of her being an enemy is limited.]

"I see, thank you; do you think my training is going well?" She asked.

[I believe you have grown a lot since you first started out; they are not sugarcoating you; they are surprised and being honest; there is no need to lie; you have grown much stronger.]

"I see, well, as much as I have them to thank, I also have you to thank, because if you were not here to guide me in using my abilities, helping me understand them, I am not sure I would have been able to grow this fast, so give yourself some credit, thank you for helping me when I need it, and have you gotten a map of how big this land is?" Nessa inquired.

[You are welcome, and yes, I have; I will show you on the screen; this land is as large as you thought it would be, and it is filled with a variety of magical properties.]

"I see, well show it to me, I need to know what to do and who to visit next, maybe I won't visit, I will let them come here, everyone within this land knows about our town now," Nessa said.

[Yes, you can wait, you don't have to go and visit all of them personally that will take up too much of your time, if they need help let them come here themselves.]

Nessa smiled and then did a neck roll before yawning since she was very sleepy.
