Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 114: Bit surprised

After entering the town, Akio howled and the others came out while the chiefess and her comrades stared, unsure what to say next; they were surprised not only by the different types of monsters but also by how large the town was and how neat and fancy everything was.

"Lady Nessa," Zeitaz said as he along with Dalia and the others approached them and then bowed their heads.

"Good morning, there is no need to bow," She replied.

"Good morning," They replied then looked at the company Nessa brought back with them and smiled.

"Welcome," They said and the chiefess smiled.

"I am the chiefess, and I thank you for allowing me into your home," She replied.

"It's our pleasure, come on in, I'm just getting breakfast ready," Liya said as they walked to the center of town, where the Orcs had set up a table and chairs, and the chiefess and her kind sat down.

"I will go freshen up, will be right back, excuse me," Nessa said then left and the chiefess looked around.

"There are a lot of you, thousands," She said.

"Yeah, lady Nessa gave us all a home, and we've grown in numbers in the last month," Dalia replied, and the chiefess sighed.

"This is really nice," She said, and they nodded.

"Are you planning on becoming her subordinate?" Dalia inquired.

"Dalia, she is thinking about it, which is why there will be a meeting," Riki replied and the girl sighed.

"Got it?" He asked.

"Yes, I understand," She responded then he patted her on the shoulder.

"That's good, I am glad you understand," He said then patted her on her shoulder and she smiled at him.

"Now, breakfast is served," Liya said as she and a few goblins brought out two trolleys full of food and placed them on the table, and the chiefess smiled.

"Go ahead and eat," Liya said, after which they thanked her for the meal and took their share.

A while after they began eating, Nessa had finished freshening up and doing her normal morning routine then she went to join them.

"I am done," She said as she sat down and Liya handed her a plate of food and she smiled at the girl before collecting it.

"Thank you, Liya; once things have calmed down, I will begin teaching you; for the time being, I will write down a few recipes for you, is that all right?" Nessa inquired, and Liya smiled.

"Lady Nessa, that's fine; to be honest, you worry a little too much; you need to relax every now and then; I'll take the recipe and follow it; I'm good at following instructions," Nessa smiled and patted her on the head, and she smiled brightly before sitting down.

"Good morning, Lady Nessa, they have agreed to a meeting; when do you want me to tell them to come?" Sai inquired as he appeared before her, and she flinched and sighed.

"I'm too young to have a heart attack, Sai, but could you please bring them now?" She asked.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you, I will go get them," He responded.

"That's fine, I understand how you work; bring them and then join us for breakfast, got it, Sai?" SHe asked and he looked at her.

"Got it, my lady, I'll be back in a few minutes, they're not far away," He responded.

"Take care," She smiled as he bowed then disappeared, and she sighed before pouring herself a glass of juice and drinking it.

"Are more guests coming?" The chiefess asked and Nessa looked at her and then smiled.

"Yes, we are having a few more Lizardmen over, I am making offers," She responded and the woman smiled.

"That's good to know; I hope the creatures here don't be stubborn and listen to you because I know we won't be able to fight them off on our own; we'll need all the help we can get," She said and Nessa nodded.

"I'm pretty sure most people in this land already know that but don't know who to ask for help, and half of them are more worried than the others," She replied and the chiefess sighed.

Everyone knew Nessa was right and was willing to go to any length to protect their home.

While eating, Sai returned with the chief of the Lizardmen, his son, and a few guards who couldn't help but stare at the town and the different beings that lived there.

"Who is your master?" The chief asked as Nessa and the others stood up and Sai bowed his head.

"We are back," He said and she smiled.

"This is our master, our leader, lady Nessa," Sai said as the chief's eyes widened. He turned to face the chiefess of the other Lizardmen, who smiled at him.

"Are you certain that young lady is your leader?" He inquired, and Riki chuckled before Nessa cast a glance at him.

"She is," Sai replied, and Nessa sighed.

"Hello, my name is Nessa, and I am their leader," She said, causing the chief to sigh.

"Hello, you are so young, or are you older than you look?" He asked and Rki covered his mouth as the others lowered their head.

"No, I am not older than I appear," She responded.

"I see, then I apologize for being rude; this is just a little difficult to digest," He said.

"That much I can figure out on my own," she replied, "it's written all over your face."

"Well, despite this, I am willing to listen to what you have to say, please go ahead," The chief said and Nessa smiled.

"She can talk to you, but sit and have breakfast with us, she will talk about the future while doing that," Riki replied.

"Please sit down and have breakfast with us, we will talk during that," Nessa said, and the chief smiled at her before he, his son and the other Lizardmen sat down to join them.

"Here, I will serve you guys," Liya said as she picked up the food and began serving them and Nessa smiled at her then poured herself another glass of juice and drank it.
