Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 123: Bit early

"I'm going to try not to look like that, and I came here to make a report; I saw two Orcs this morning, and I was going to follow them, but then I remembered you told us to keep a distance," Sai said, and Nessa sighed.

"I am glad you didn't confront them, they are a lot of them, we will handle them when the time is right, what were they doing when you saw them?" Nessa asked.

"It seemed as though they were scouting the area," He responded and she lowered her head, thinking.

"Scouting huh? What are they planning on doing next?" Nessa asked as her eyes narrowed and they looked at her.

"Whatever it is, I am sure that it's not good for us, they are bad news no matter which way you look at it, Orcs will never try to gain dominance, the one they are working for did this, more than just convinced them," Riki responded and Nessa looked at him.

"You are correct, I was told that the Orcs would never do this on their own, that they would never fight like this, but do you think the one who compelled them to do this is alone in this or is working for someone?" Nessa inquired.

"With the kind of people in this world, lady Nessa, it's not impossible," Riki replied, and Nessa sighed before moving her neck in a circular motion.

"In any case, we'll have to figure it out because if their leader is working for someone else, we might be in for a lot more trouble in the future, which won't be good because we know so little," She said.

"You are correct, we must be more than cautious," Youthim replied, and Nessa looked at them before lowering her head and gnashing her teeth.

'In order to protect them, I need to know more, but the question is how I am going to do that?' Nessa wondered.

"For the time being, guys, keep an eye out for the Orcs; we have to be ready at all times," Nessa said as they bowed their heads.

"Understood," They replied as she got up and yawned.

"Are you still sleepy?" Dalia asked and Nessa looked at her.

"Not really," She responded.

"Good morning," Yanka said as he approached them and Nessa smiled.

"Good morning, Yanka, are you ready to go already?" She asked.

"Don't worry, we will be going when you are ready," He responded as Liya tapped her on her shoulder, then handed her a cup of tea and a plate of food.

"Before you go and eat, please eat your breakfast, did you eat already?" Liya asked as Nessa sat down with her food.

"No, I didn't eat breakfast, thank you, Liya," She responded and Liya smiled.

"Good, I'm glad we had more, eat your food, then go do whatever you want, no problem," Liya said, and Nessa chuckled.

"Well, I'm going back to work now; things are moving quickly with the Orcs assisting; also, Riki, can you and the others help with Lady Nessa's home again today?" Youthim asked and Riki smiled.

"Sure, we would have without you asking, Youthim, let's go," Riki responded and Youthim smiled, then they left and went to work while Nessa ate the breakfast Liya got her.

While eating, Nessa hear someone calling out her name and when she turned around, she saw the chiefess along with her people entering the town and Nessa flung up from her seat immediately.

"She's early, and I'm still hungry," mumbled Nessa as Dalia patted her on the shoulder.

"Being a leader must be difficult, I will never do the same, go ahead, greet them, you can come back and eat, you need a lot of energy for today, that's for sure lady Nessa, good luck," Dalia said, and Nessa sighed before looking at Dalia, who smiled.

"I'll be right back," She said as she approached the chiefess, and they bowed their heads to each other, followed by the Lizardmen.

"Good morning and welcome," Nessa said.

"Good morning, lady Nessa," They replied, and Nessa jumped because they yelled it loudly.

'I hope I still have enough energy to train with Yanka today,' Nessa thought as she looked at Yanka, who was sitting with Aion and the others, patiently waiting for her.

"Are we too early?" The chiefess asked and Nessa looked at her before looking at her people.

"Nope, you are not, Dalia, can you come here for a moment?" Nessa asked and Dalia smiled before approaching her.

"Good morning," She greeted them and they smiled.

"Dalia, help take them to the tent," Nessa said and the girl agreed.

"Lady Nessa, we have the tents ready for them; they can come," Villa said as she rushed over to Nessa, who was staring at her and the child in her arm.

"Vill, give me the kid," Nessa said, and Vill handed her the child, which she placed on the ground, while the other goblin children and a few more Orc children joined him and they smiled.

"You have to let him go Vill, he is safe with the others, a Goblina is watching over them, don't worry, just go about your day, he can walk and talk a bit on his own," Nessa said, and Vill smiled before turning to look at her son, who was playing with the other children.

"Thank you, lady Nessa; would you like me to accompany them to the tents?" Vill inquired.

"Yes, please do, by the way, how many of you are there?" Nessa asked as the chiefess looked back.

"About five hundred," She responded and Nessa smiled.

"All right, we have more than enough tents for you guys, this won't be difficult, the other Lizardmen won't be coming to live here, so it's all worked out, take them to the tents, please and thank you," Nessa said, and Vill smiled before bowing her head.

"Please follow me, I will take you to your tents, because a lot of Orcs already have houses, there is a lot more space," Vill said as she walked away with Dalia and the chiefess smiled before following her with her people, and Nessa sighed before returning to her breakfast.
