Ascension of the Monster Queen

Yanka patted him on the shoulder after hearing what Riki told him Dalia said.

"She has a lot of faith in lady Nessa, I won't blame her, I think we are all going down that very same path, she makes people believe in her and she doesn't have to do much to give us a reason, but you already knew that," Yanka said and Riki scoffed.

"We'll decide where we'll stay soon enough, here or somewhere else, though I doubt it'll be somewhere else with the pace you guys are going," Riki replied, and Yanka chuckled.

"We are not the only ones, Riki, we will see soon enough," Yanka said and Riki smiled as Dalia along with Liya approached them and they smiled at Nessa who turned around and saw them.

"Lady Nessa, can you come here?" Liya asked then Nessa got out of the water and approached them, then Dalia threw her a towel and she caught it with a smile.

"Thank you," She said.

"You are welcome, sit and have dinner, then you can go back to training or just call it a night and leave it for tomorrow," Dalia replied and Nessa smiled before looking at Yanka.

"It's okay, you can call it a night if you want, we can continue tomorrow," Yanka said as Nessa lowered her head and smiled.

"Nope, I am going to get this done tonight, tomorrow we can do something else," She replied and Yanka chuckled.

"You are really stubborn, aren't you?" Riki asked and Nessa looked at him.

"You are the last person I want to hear say that, my stubbornness is still lower than yours, and you are even a selective listener," She responded and they laughed as he smiled.

"You hit the nail on the head with that," Dalia said, and Nessa smirked.

"Here, have dinner," Liya said as she handed Nessa her portion of the food and took it.

"Thank you, Liya, your cooking is great," Nessa said and the girl smiled brightly.

"Thank you, my lady, that's good coming from you," She replied and Nessa patted her on the head and Dalia smiled.

"Perhaps I should start learning to cook as well, then I'll get praised by lady Nessa," Dalia suggested, and they laughed.

"Perhaps you should, it'll help us all a lot, we won't have to worry about gaining poison resistance," Riki replied, and Nessa covered her mouth so she wouldn't laugh, and Yanka and Liya chuckled as Dalia looked at Riki with a smirk on her face and he glanced at her.

"What? I am just suggesting that it would always be nice to learn to cook, it will help you even, I didn't mean anything by it," Riki said and Dalia scoffed.

"I know you a bit too well, liar, Liya, can you teach me to cook?" Dalia asked as she leaned in close to Liya, who pulled back a little and Riki smiled as Nessa looked at him and Liya sighed.

"You are not going to drop this now, are you?" Liya asked.

"No, I want to try," She responded then Liya looked at Riki who smirked and she sighed.

'This is for your own good as well as mine,' Riki thought and Nessa tapped him on the shoulder and he looked at her.

"What is it?" He asked.

"You are evil, " She responded.

"I am not evil, I am doing a good deed, there is no way I am evil, lady Nessa," He said and she sighed.

"There is no winning against you with his one is there?" She asked as he began thinking

"No, you're not going to win me with this one; I know I'm right; I didn't mean to be mean, but sometimes that changes everything," He responded, and she smiled, knowing he had no intention of hurting Dalia's feelings, he just wanted to help her.

"I know and I understand but say it differently next time," She said, and he smiled.

"I will try my best to do so," He replied with a grin and she sighed before looking up at the night sky.

"Well, I'll teach you everything I know, but you better pay attention and do exactly what I say, got it?" Liya inquired, and Nessa looked at them as Dalia nodded before Riki looked at her and patted her on the head, causing her cheeks to flush and she smiled.

'Just like I thought, I'm not seeing double, especially with that look in her eyes, I see why Dalia doesn't mind improving herself a little,' Nessa thought before beginning to eat dinner and drink the glass of juice Dalia had brought her.

While eating, Nessa looked at the water and how rough it got and she smiled.

"Are you still going to keep going?" Yanka inquired, her gaze fixed on him.

"Do you think this will help?" He sighed and looked at the water when she asked.

"In a way, yes, you will be able to use your ability regardless of the state of the water in the future once you get this done, pretty sure you won't have a problem," He responded, and she smiled.

"You're really pushing this, sheesh, you're really stubborn, even more, stubborn than me," Riki said as the girls looked at him.

"Don't compare yourself just yet Riki, we know you are well-trained person but, can you balance yourself?" Dalia asked.

"I have perfect balance," he responded, "but I can't walk on water; not everyone has that ability." Dalia smiled.

"Yeah, I know that much, so lady Nessa, are you really going through with this?" Dalia asked as Nessa looked back at the water and smiled.

"Yes, I'm going through with it; to get better, you have to work hard; it won't happen overnight, I'm going to do it," She responded and they smiled at her.

"Because you can't change your mind, you should be more careful, that water is really rough, but just focus, I'm here, and I'll keep an eye on you," Yanka said.

"We will be here for a while as well, focus on your training," Riki added and Nessa smiled at them before continuing to eat her meal.
