Ascension of the Monster Queen

While they were thinking about what Nessa would say to helping them even if the prince didn't have the power to give what she wanted.

Nessa got up and went to the kitchen within the guild, poured herself a glass of juice, then came back and sat with them and they looked at her as she sipped the juice and Isamu wanted to laugh but held back.

They kept on wondering while Nessa drank the juice and exhaled deeply, waiting for them to give her an answer.

[Master, you would help them despite that right?]

'What do you think?' Nessa asked and the system began thinking as well and Nessa sighed before smiling.

'Don't you know me at all?' Nessa wondered.

[ I know you, but people change faster than the blink of an eye, sometimes but I think that even if he couldn't give you what you wanted, you would still help them because in any way it would benefit you in the future.]

'There you go, you are correct, I would have helped either way because now they are my friends, but let's see whether they know me even a little bit, I want to know what their answers will be,' Nessa thought as she finished off her juice then placed the glass on the table and they looked at her.

"Well, I have been waiting for an answer for a while now, do you have one as yet?" Nessa asked as they exhcnaged glances.

"We don't know if the answers will be the same," Yonja responded.

"That's because you are quite mysterious which makes it harder for anyone to actually figure you out, but we think we have the right answer, hopefully," Sophia said and Nessa smiled at her.

"Let's hear what you guys have, I will tell you whether you are wrong or right, those who are wrong..." She replied and they sighed.

"What will happen to those who are wrong?" Niva asked.

"We will see, it all depends on your answers and what if I choose for that person, you cannot complain, you will have to go through with the punishment, is that okay?" Nessa asked and Niva swallowed deeply.

"That's only fair so I am okay with it," Ian responded and Nessa looked at the others.

"That's okay with me as well," Sophia said.

"Ian is right, it is only fair so we are all okay with it," Yonja added and the others nodded then Nessa smiled.

"Good, now that I see all of you are okay with it, tell me your answers so that I can pass judgement," She said with a smile and Isamu and Terou chuckled.

"She looked kind of scary when she said the judgement part just now, didn't she?" Terou asked.

"Yeah, I thought the same thing, she did kind of look scary there, as if she is ready to dip them in the burning sea of something," Isamu responded and Terou chuckled as they looked at them, waiting to hear what their answers would be.

"Well, we think that despite that, you will help us, am I right guys?" The prince asked and the others nodded.

"Yes, that's right," Yonja responded and Nessa smiled.

"Are you sure that's the answer you guys want to stick with right about now? Think about it carefully," Nessa said and they looked at each other then smiled before returning their gaze towards Nessa.

"Yes, we are sure and that's the answer that we wish to stick with, we made that decision based on your actions so far," Yonja responded and Nessa smiled then exhaled deeply.

"Too bad, you guys really don't know me at all," Nessa said as they stared at her.

"So what? We are wrong?" Sophia asked. Chapter Enjoy:

"Let me decide on the punishment I should give all of you, even the prince, you are no exception," Nessa responded and they lowered their heads then sighed and Nessa looked at them, wanting to laugh.

"You guys are..." She said and Sophia placed her head down on the table, letting out a loud sigh and Nessa chuckled then they looked at her.

"What's so funny?" Niva asked.

"I am just messing with you guys, you were all right," She responded and they smiled bright and she grinned.

"You should have seen the look on your faces, I assure you they were priceless, right guys?" She asked and Isamu and Terou nodded and they laughed.

"Well, I have to say that you got us good," The prince said and Nessa smiled as the others nodded.

"It was totally worth it, at least now I know that from all the time we spent together, you guys got to know me a little, if you didn't have the power to give me what I wanted, even then I would help you guys, I am not cold hearted to leave all these innocent people to die," Nessa replied and they smiled.

"Well, I will always be in your debt Nessa, if I get the throne and have the power to give you what you want, I promise you will get it," The prince said.

"Not if, you will have your throne back, don't worry," She replied and he smiled at her.

"You sound quite certain about this, why is that?" The prince asked and Nessa smiled at him.

"Because I know you will have it back, I promise we will get it back for you, it's the least I can do, believe me, they won't last long in this kingdom, after what they wanted to do to my home as well, I will not let them execute their plan," She responded and the prince's eyes narrowed.

"Did they do something to your home?" The prince asked and Nessa glanced at him then at Isamu and Terou.

"They wanted to conquer it, they sent their minions including a few similar types to the demons that attacked here just the other day, to attack my home, luckily our defenses were strong, we fought them off, the people within my home helped a lot due to which there were no causalities on our side but a lot were dead on the opposing side and they failed," She responded as they exchanged glances.
