Ascension of the Monster Queen

Nessa exhaled deeply before turning and looking at the person who was sitting on the rail of the porch and he glanced at her then she smiled at him.

"I got the message and here I am, thank you for inviting me, my lady," He said and Nessa chuckled.

"You are welcome, I only invited you because you did help me in a way, so consider it a thank you," She replied and he chuckled as he looked at her.

"You don't trust me one bit, even now, do you?" He asked and she glanced at him with her eyes narrowing.

"You are right, but that doesn't mean I will ignore you, I believe that you know a lot more than you are letting on, don't take me for a stupid person, I am not," She responded and he chuckled.

"I know you are not, it's why I am here, I truly mean no harm to you or your people, but, since you are a leader and a lot can be at risk, I know you won't just take my word for it, you are a smart and strong person, that I know," He said and she scoffed as he looked at her.

"I invited you for dinner, if you didn't as yet you can have your share," She replied as he stared at her without saying anything and her brows furrowed.

"If you don't want it, then just stay so, don't stare at me like that," She said and he chuckled.

"No, it's not that, I just haven't... I didn't eat as yet, you can give me the food," He replied and she scoffed.

"Wait, I will bring it to you," She said as she went into the house, he sighed before looking up at the sky and a smile appeared on his face.

"I am telling the truth, but, I guess I might have to prove it, I can tell, from the beginning, I knew she is not someone to be trifled with," He mumbled.

After a few minutes, Nessa brought the food and placed it on the small table that was there and he glanced at her then sniffed in the nice aroma that was coming from the food and he got down from the rail.

"You will get dessert when you are finished," She said before looking away from him and he sat down, then picked up the spoon and began eating, but even then she couldn't see his face.

After he began eating, he exhaled deeply and she glanced at him and he looked at her.

"He has no reaction, he is going to make me question my skills," She mumbled with a blank reaction on her face and he chuckled since he heard her and she flinched and then looked at him.

"What?" She asked.

"Nothing, that was funny, so you made these?" He asked.

"Yeah, I did," She responded.

"Well, there is no need to question your skills, your food is delicious," He said and she smiled at him.

"Thank you, you can continue eating, I won't look," She replied and he smiled at her then she turned away and he continued eating his food.

[Master, despite not knowing who he is, from the energy around him, it's calm, he might be a good person, but despite that, you are right now to trust him, you need more reason for that, also the protection around you is strong, no one will be able to harm you easily.]

'Good, I am glad you agree with me and I know it's strong, there is no way I would be unprotected around someone I don't quite know,' Nessa thought before smiling and her eyes glowed blue.

"I am finished, thank you for the meal," He said and she collected the plate and the glass from him and then took them inside while he sat there waiting.

A little while after, Nessa brought back a few desserts for him and he looked at it as she placed it on the table.

"I might not be able to eat for another day," He said and she chuckled.

"That's to show how little you eat, you can take it with you if you want, I don't have a problem with that," She replied then he sighed.

"No, I am going to eat it here," He said then began eating the desserts she made.

"Delicious," He said in a happy tone and she glanced at him and he clenched his right fist then lowered his head and her eyes narrowed.

He continued eating without saying another word and Nessa looked up at the night sky and a gentle smile appeared on her face before she stretched off and yawned.

'I am starting to get really sleepy now,' She thought before bracing against the rail and the guy glanced at her.

'Your life is going to become a storm with what's going on, they are going to make a move eventually, they will see you as a threat,' He thought as he finished eating the dessert.

The guy got up and approached her, he tapped her on the shoulder and was going to thank her when she fell back and his eyes widened and he grabbed onto her and saw that her eyes were closed.

"Is she already asleep?" He asked as he stared at her then moved a string of hair from before her eyes and upon feeling his touch.

She opened her eyes and his eyes shimmered slightly green and she flinched, then raised up and she looked at him then sighed.

"I am sorry," She said.

"It's fine, you seem tired, everything I ate here tonight, was homemade, that's not something that I get to eat, they were all delicious, thank you for treating me," He replied and her eyes widened as she stared at him.

"You are welcome, I am going to sleep now, you can go home," She said with a smile and he scoffed, then walked away.

She glanced at him as the dragon appeared on the ground and it bowed its head to her and she chuckled.

"I will see you around, also be careful, things are happening, your nation is drawing a lot of attention now, they will come, if you ever need help with anything, here, I am strong enough," He said then threw something at her and she caught it.

"See ya, lady Nessa," He said as she stared at him, then he waved at her and she did the same as he flew away and after he left, she looked at the object he gave to her.

"He is weird, but, I know.." She mumbled before going into the house and locking the doors.

Nessa went to her room and threw herself on the bed and within no time, she fell asleep due to how tired she was.
