Chapter 217: Followed the follower
Nessa knew the guy was going to ask her more questions, but she didn't want to answer any of them. She wanted him to leave, but he just stood there thinking, and she exhaled deeply.
"Are you going to leave or not?" Nessa asked.
"Where are you from?" He asked.
"That's none of your concern, you are a stranger who has no business with her, please just go and leave this be, she doesn't want to talk about where she is from, just know that it's far away," Sophia responded and he scoffed.
"We are not done here, I will see you again and then I will get the answers that I want," He said and Nessa looked at him with a smile on her face.
"Is that so? We shall see about that, I will find your boss as well, I don't like when people do certain things," She replied and he chuckled.
"The, I will see you some time soon, bye," He said before disappearing and Nessa clenched her fist.
"Nessa, come on," Yonja said and she looked at him as Niva grabbed onto her hand and pulled her with them and she smiled as they placed her to sit by the table with them.
"You knew he was following you, why didn't you say anything?" Sophia asked and Nessa smiled.
"I didn't want to until I found out why he was following me," She responded.
"Do you know who his boss is then?" Yonja asked with a smirk and she scoffed.
"Do you by chance think I know?" Nessa asked and he chuckled.
"You do know, don't you?" He asked as he looked around and saw that Isamuwas nowhere to be seen and his eyes narrowed.
"Uh... Nessa, Isamu is not here," He said and she smiled at him, then patted him on the shoulder.
"Yeah, I know, I made him follow the one who was following and since Isamu can use shadow movement without any problem, he is the perfect one to do this," She replied and he smiled.
"Tell me, why have him, follow him if you didn't just want to make sure of something?" He asked and she smiled at him.
"His boss is the future queen, I think she is the one that sent him after me, in this kingdom, she is the only one who has a reason to do so, no one else has any to follow me around like that," She responded.
"You are right, she does have many reasons after what happened earlier, she doesn't like you one bit and is suspicious of you," Ian said.
"I am not just here on my own business, I am here to do other things as well, they are not evil, but.." She said as they saw the king enter the guild and everyone looked at him as he smiled at Nessa and the others and her eyes narrowed as the guild master approached him and bowed his head.
"Your highness," He said.
"There is no need to bow, I just came here to discuss a few things, in private if you don't mind," The king replied as he looked at Nessa who stared right back at him and a smirk appeared on his face as he approached them and they all stood up.
"Your highness," They said.
"I wanted to apologize for earlier about how she behaved, she was just being cautious, I assure you that she doesn't mean to hurt anyone or so on, she is just trying to be protective of this kingdom and its people," He replied.
"You don't have to apologize, it's okay," Yonja said and the king smiled.
"You have the same interests as she does, yet you didn't behave like she did, I don't think her being protective of this kingdom is the only reason, I don't like her, I think something is wrong with her, you should check that out, your highness, I don't mean to be rude, she had no reason to talk to us like that or do things that she is not supposed to do, she is not the queen as yet, she is going to get in trouble if she continues on her current path," Nessa said with a gentle smile as Terou jumped into her arm and the others looked at her and smiled.
"You're a real straight forward person, aren't you?
Well, I assure you that she will not get herself into trouble; I will speak to her myself; I am sure she will listen to me; she will not like what happens if she does not; you guys have a nice night; perhaps I will see you around," He replied as he walked away with the guild master, and Nessa gave him a glance before they sighed and she looked at them.
"What's the matter?" She asked as Sophia patted her on the shoulder and she glanced at the girl.
"Warn us before you plan on giving us a heart attack," She said and Nessa chuckled, then patted her on the head and she smiled.
"Sorry, I just had to see the king's reaction," She replied and Sophia smiled.
"Well, I don't think that was such a good one, it seemed as though he felt a bit of a jolt, his eyes seemed a bit darker as though he was going to give his wife a piece of his mind," Niva said and Nessa lowered her head while passing her hand on Terou's head and the creature looked at her.
"Nessa," Yonja called out and she looked at him before yawning.
"I don't know what you are going to do, but we all here no that you are not a bad person from the time that we have spent with you, am I right about that guys?" Yonja asked and they all nodded.
"But, if you need help with whatever it is that you are doing, don't hesitate, just ask us and maybe we will be able to help you, you don't have to always do things by yourself, we know that better than most people, it's not wrong to ask for help," He said and they smiled as she sighed while remembering the others back in the town and she smiled, knowing that they would say something very similar to what he just said and she chuckled as they stared at her.
