Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 119: Focus

"Ah, this food smells delicious," Nessa said as she took her meal, and Liya smiled at her.

"Lady Nessa, thank you as well, this won't have been possible if not for you," Liya replied and Nessa looked at her before smiling.

"Relax, there is no need to thank me, I should be the one thanking you to be honest, you are truly a talented cook, I have a feeling if you were living where I was, you would have made it big, get really popular, but that can also happen here, I guess, except I won't share my cook," She said and they burst out laughing.

"I'd never cook for anyone else as long as you're here, lady Nessa, this is a talent you're nurturing, you deserve the best," Liya replied, and Nessa looked at her.

"It's fine, you can cook for others as well, I might be helping, but the one who is doing it is you," Nessa said and Liya smiled before sitting down.

"Your home must have been different, Lady Nessa," Liya said, and Nessa sighed.

"I won't say it was much of a home, to be honest, it wasn't, not after my life changed," she replied, "but it was way different from all of this and most things depended on whether you had money or not, you can never have too much of it there, it's more fancy and modern as well, I am using those ideas, the things I know about there to make life better here."

"That must have been expensive to live at, wherever that is, good thing we are all different and we can depend on our surroundings to provide a lot for us," Liya said and Nessa nodded.

"Yes, this land is amazing, which is why others want it; anything can grow on it, am I correct or incorrect?" Nessa inquired, and they exchanged glances before turning to face her.

"I think you're right, we've seen too much of different things grow so far," Dalia replied.

"Lady Nessa, the soil is mixed with magic, you grow fruits, you can get the best of it, but it also depends on the weather, seasons, and types of things you want to grow, with this land we can do a lot of things, we just have to learn about a better way of agriculture, we should fix all of that next year, this year doesn't have much longer," Youthim said, as Nessa lowered her head, thinking.

"You are correct, we will focus on that next year, spring will be returning, I have much to teach you guys about the way things are supposed to be done, ways that you can enjoy, I will create sports as well, you will all enjoy them, they will not be easy," She replied, and they smiled.

"We don't mind, we'll do our best to do anything difficult, let's see what you can bring, my lady," Zeitaz said, and Nessa smiled.

"I am glad you guys are all excited, I will make your lives fun, but in between, we will face a lot of problems, I hope it doesn't change..." She replied as Zilrud tapped her on the shoulder and she looked at him and Vil along with their child.

"We won't regret it, none of us here will, lady Nessa, what you did, no one else could, that's what counts, we are all living a better life than we used to, there is no if and but anymore, during the hard times, you shouldn't worry about whether we will leave your side or not, we won't, we will stand together no matter what, am I wrong or right guys?" Zilrud asked and she looked at them as they smiled.

"Lady Nessa, Zilrud is more than right, this is our home, and no one but you will lead us, no matter what, we will always accept your decisions, also, we will love for you to give us tasks, depend on us as well, we will stand by you," Zeitaz responded, and Nessa smiled as she lowered her head and her lips began to tremble before her hair fell before her face and she gnashed her teeth.

"Lady Nessa, are you all right?" Riki inquired, and she fixed her hair before smiling at him.

"Yeah, I'm fine, go ahead and eat your food," She replied and he looked at her as she poured herself a glass of juice and drank it.

"Do you think she is okay, Dalia?" Riki asked as they ate and Dalia looked at Nessa who was eating as well.

"She appears fine to me; perhaps she is just thinking about the future," Dalia responded, and Riki sighed.

"Perhaps, or maybe there's something else bothering her," Riki suggested, and Dalia looked at him.

"You're thinking too much, as usual, you're suited to be here, that's my honest opinion, you're a good adviser, just so you know, you better start thinking soon, Riki," Dalia replied, and he sighed before continuing to eat.

'I have a lot to protect now, I'm going to get stronger no matter what, it's the only way I'll be able to fulfill this dream, my promises to them, if I'm not strong, I won't be the leader they can rely on, I won't let that happen, I'm going to push myself to the limit, let's see what else I can do with these gifts the universe has given me,' Nessa thought as she finished her meal and the others looked at her as she stood up and stretched off.

"Thank you for the meal," She said and they smiled at her.

"You are welcome, lady Nessa," Liya replied, and Nessa smiled at her before yawning and they laughed.

"Lady Nessa, you should really go get some rest, you're going to need it now, we have a lot to do now that there is trouble," Vill said, looking at Nessa, who patted her child on the head before sighing.

"I know, well I am tried and we have a lot of work to do now as well, I'm going to call it a night," Nessa replied. "If you guys need anything, come find me, good night."

"Good night," They replied before she left.
