Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 156: Worthy

Nessa was filled with emotions at the time; her hard work was paying off and she was happy about it, but she also knew that things were about to get a lot more difficult because she had many more responsibilities and didn't want to mess anything up; she wanted all of their dreams to come true and hoped to be a leader worthy of them; and she had more plans for them and ways to make life easier for everyone.

Nessa bowed her head and took a deep breath as they smiled.

"Thank you; I hope to be a leader worthy of your trust and loyalty," she said and they looked at her with smiling faces.

"You are already that leader," Fana replied, and Nessa's eyes glowed purple.

"Thank you; please raise up, all of you," She said and they all stood up, and she clenched her fists, knowing that she now had a home full of nothing but warmth, and she didn't want to lose it.

"Lady Nessa, it's late; I think you should go get some rest now," Liya said, and Nessa smiled as she looked at her.

"I will go now, but before that, there are more tents, can you guys share them? The houses will start building from tomorrow," Nessa said as Zilrud's nephew approached her.

"Don't worry, we'll share them, go get some rest, lady Nessa, you deserve it, good night," He replied, and she smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Good night, guys," She said.

"Good night," They replied, and she left to go home, leaving Riki and the others to assist the Orcs with the tents and settling them in because there were many of them.

Nessa went to her house where she locked the doors and took her clothes off before going to freshen up.

She was indeed very tired and wanted to sleep more than anything else at the time, but there were also many other things on her mind that she knew she had to take care of but that would take time.

After freshening up, Nessa changed into her nightgown, climbed into bed, and exhaled deeply before covering herself with the blanket.

[Congratulations, master, on becoming the official leader.]

"Thank you; there are a lot of them now, huh?" She inquired.

[Are you planning to name them as well?]

"I will, but not all of them, is that all right?" Nessa asked.

[That's fine, you know they can choose names too, and with practice they can get stronger, but I think you should think about these things another day, you're too tired, and you've been doing a lot, good night, master.]

"All right, I will, good night..." Nessa mumbled and fell asleep after a few minutes.

When she woke up the next morning, she yawned while stretching, then got out of bed and went to her kitchen, where she began making her breakfast, ate it, and then went to freshen up.

Nessa dressed and left her house after finishing her normal morning routine, where she heard loud noises and smiled after seeing the kids playing despite being of different races.

"What exactly is going on?" She inquired as she looked around and noticed that the Orcs as well as everyone else, had already begun working, and she sighed before proceeding to her tent.

"Good morning guys," She said.

"Good morning, lady Nessa," Liya replied then Nessa sat down.

"How long since they started working?" Nessa asked.

"They've been splitting up and working in teams for a while now, they're moving pretty quickly, I've already made them drinks and so on," She responded, and Nessa smiled.

"That's good to know, I don't want them pushing themselves too much either," She said and Liya smiled then patted Nessa on the shoulder before handing her a bowl of sweets and Nessa chuckled.

"This is the polar opposite of healthy," Nessa said.

"I know, but you should eat it, I tried something new, I hope you enjoy it," Liya replied, and Nessa smiled at her before starting to eat the sweets Liya made, which tasted like cocoa, and Nessa looked at her.

"Cocoa? Where did you get it from?" Nessa asked.

"They are a type of bean that grows in a part of the forest with another kind, I made a powder out of it, and it also grows according to the climate," She responded and Nessa chuckled.

"Have the goblins pick as many as they can, and I'll teach you a few more things," Nessa said and Liya smiled.

"Got it," She replied.

"Aion," Liya called out as he passed by then turned to look at them before approaching and he smiled before bowing his head.

"Good morning," He said.

"Good morning," They replied.

"How can I help you Liya?" He asked and Nessa smiled.

"I want you and your friends to do me a favor, can you?" Liya asked as he stared at her.

"Sure, what is it?" He asked.

"I want you guys to pick a bunch of cocoa beans for me, can you do that?" She asked.

"Ah, those nice smelling ones, yes, we can do that, we will head out now," He responded and Liya smiled as he rushed off.

"That was fast," Nessa said, and Liya chuckled.

"They enjoy assisting others whenever possible, so it's no surprise that he agreed, so quickly, if I'm being honest, what are you going to do now, lady Nessa?" Liya inquired.

"I won't be training, but I have a few things to attend to, the chief and his kind went home, right?" She asked.

"Not yet; they ended up staying here last night, but they'll be leaving in a few minutes, if I remember correctly. they were too tired to go," She responded, and Nessa chuckled before turning to face her people and sighing, and Liya smiled at her.

"Lady Nessa, did the sweets taste nice?" Liya asked and Nessa looked at her then got up and patted her on the head.

"They were more than nice, Liya, you are doing a great job," She responded and after hearing that Liya smiled brightly and Nessa turned to look at the Orcs with her eyes narrowing.
