Ascension of the Monster Queen

More than an hour passed and Nessa finally arrived at the entrance of the capital and her eyes widened when she saw how big it was and it was mostly surrounded by water and the capital was split into many different parts with its huge white and silver castle in the center of it all and there were many different types of people there and there were guards by the one and only entrance of the capital which was surrounded my mountain ranges and hills and they didn't need a wall because of the security there.

Before Nessa could enter, a guard came to her and asked her what was her purpose with the capital and she told him she was a tourist and he allowed her to enter along with her pet fox and she sighed upon entering then she looked up at the sky and some of the tall building and she smiled when she saw the clouds passing by, making it looking as though it was touching everything within the city and it looked beautiful.

"This is very nice," Nessa said.

"Yes, it is," Isamu replied as Nessa saw and inn in the same street, she was in and she smiled then looked at Isamu and sighed.

"Looks like we won't have much of a problem finding somewhere to stay before night, which is about an hour away," She said as they entered the inn and a strong nice aroma brushed against her when she entered and the guests there looked at her then smiled as she went to the receptionist.

"Hello, how may I assist you?" The young lady by the desk asked.

"Can you give me a room?" Nessa inquired.

"There are free rooms, and you arrived at a good time, but how long do you want it for?" The girl asked.

"I'm not sure how long I'll be here, so I'll pay until I'm ready to leave, is that okay?" Nessa inquired.

"That is possible; would you like a single bed room?" Nessa smiled as she asked, then looked at Isamu, who nodded.

"Yes, please," She responded.

"All right, please sign this paper, then I will give you the key to your room," She said as she handed Nessa a paper and a pen and Nessa red it before signing it, after which the girl handed her a key and she collected it.

"Thank you," Nessa said.

"You are welcome, and you will be receiving breakfast, lunch, and dinner from the inn as a thank you for staying here, and there is another thing, you have a cute pet," She replied, and Nessa smiled as the girl reached out to touch Isamu, who growled at her and she jumped then pulled her hand back, and Nessa chuckled.

"Sorry, he doesn't like it when strangers touch him, and thank you for the briefing," Nessa said.

"No problem, you are welcome, I hope you enjoy your stay," She replied, then Nessa smiled and went up the stairs, looking for her room which was numbered thirty six and when she found it, she opened the door then entered and switched on the lights.

"This is nice," Isamu said as he jumped out of her arm and she smiled, seeing how comfortable the room was and they got a nice view as well.

"Do you like it?" Isamu asked as Nessa locked the door then placed her bag down.

"Yes, this is nice and comfortable to stay in for the time being, don't you think?" She asked, before sitting down on the soft bed and sighing then he looked at her and chuckled.

"Yes, this is very nice, even the couch is soft, just like the beds you got everyone back home, good thing you had the money to afford all of that stuff and now we can afford even more because everyone will be doing their own work and making their own money soon enough, you have made life easier for us," He responded, and she smiled before reclining on the bed.

"You all deserve it, that's why, you all deserve to live free and not in the shadow on anyone," She said and he sighed before stretching off while yawning and she chuckled.

"You should rest now, Isamu; you've come a long way, and you didn't have to keep moving all night, but you're quite stubborn, aren't you?" He gave her a sidelong glance after she asked.

"I'm not that stubborn, believe me when I say Akio is far more stubborn than me, he scares everyone when he grows so big, he is more intimidating than I could ever be if I'm being honest," He responded, and she chuckled.

"Yes, he has more of the angry look than you, but you are both cute and people love you," She said and he nodded.

"Lady Nessa, you wouldn't have killed those Orcs would you?" He asked and she glanced at him then sighed.

"I think to protect you guys I will but, knowing that they were not themselves, I would have tried my best not to, as a leader I know you have to make tough decisions, if I had to, I would, is that okay to you, Isamu?" She asked.

"Yes, that's more than okay, I wanted to know because of my father, he always said it was for the good of us but it wasn't, clearly you are the only true leader that I know of, you are different from the others, that I know," He responded and she sighed.

"If you are also worried that you might become like your father, don't, because you are nothing like your father, you are better than him, you have a good heart, Isamu, it's better if you don't compare yourself with someone who didn't care about innocent lives, got it?" She asked.

"Got it, thank you lady Nessa," He responded and she smiled at him before getting up and patting him on the head.

"I am going to freshen up now, eat if you want or you can even sleep, I know you are tired now, get your energy back," She said then grabbed her clothes and went to freshen up while he stretched off and closed his eyes.
