Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 269: Within the tavern

Before they could leave the guild, the prince looked at them, then sighed before approaching them and they looked at him.

"Can you guys have dinner with me tonight?" He asked as they exchanged glances.

"Are you sure about that?" Ian asked and the prince smiled.

"Yeah, after everything that has been happening these past few days, I think it will be nice, so, do you guys agree?" He asked and they smiled at him.

"Yeah, we do, thanks," Yonja responded before bowing his head and the prince patted him on the shoulder.

"You are welcome and there is no need to do that," He said as he exited the guild along with them then he closed the door.

"So, where do you want to go?" Nessa asked and the prince looked at her then smiled.

"How about we go to the tavern? They have great food and drink there, we should have any problem with them, right guys?" The prince asked.

"Yeah, their food are good, quite tasty and they are popular around here, perfect place to go at a time like this, they are open quite late," Yonja responded and the others agreed with him.

"All right, then it's decided, let's go there," Nessa said and the prince smiled then they left, heading to the tavern.

After a bit of walking, they arrived at the tavern and they smiled when they saw that it was busy as usual.

"Is it always this busy?" The prince asked after they entered the tavern and the others smiled at him.

"I have to say, this smells nice as usual, I don't come here often, just once in a while and I don't come at night," The prince said.

"Then I will tell you that it's good to get out sometimes and clear your mind, works for me, not every time, but most of it," Nessa replied and the prince chuckled.

"Under the night sky with the fresh air usually does it, right?" The prince asked and Nessa nodded then he scoffed.

"Well, let's start eating, we don't want to place all of this food to waste," He said and Nessa nodded then they began eating their share of the food.

While eating, Nessa sighed with a bit of relief, then poured herself a glass of wine and drank it. The smooth flow of the wine made Nessa relax a bit and she smiled before glancing at the guys that were watching them.

She wanted to confront them just like the others as well, but Nessa knew very well that it would be best to keep to themselves and ignore them, it would be better for everyone else.

"Lady Nessa, are you okay?" Isamu asked as he and Terou approached her and she glanced at him then smiled.

"Yeah, I am fine, you don't have to worry about me right now, I am calm, keep a watch on them for me please, can you do that?" She asked and both of them nodded then sat down by her side while watching those who were watching them without them even noticing.

"So, Nessa, are you leaving after all of this?" The prince asked.

"Yes, I am, I have a lot of things to take care of and I need to get them done, but before I leave I have a few answers to get then I will be on my way, even I have my own responsibilities," She responded and he smiled at her as the others exchanged glances.

"We didn't forget about it, I am pretty sure some of us have already decided," Ian said and Nessa looked at him then he as well as the others smiled and her she Isamu glanced at them as Nessa smiled, awaiting to hear what their answer would be.
