Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 30: To consider

While eating with Nessa in her tt, Zietaz looked at her th smiled.

"What did you want to talk to us about, my lady?" He inquired.

"The kingdom of Masca," She responded and they looked at her.

"What about it?" Johnathan asked.

"Do you think it's a good place to trade with or establish diplomatic relations with? A treaty, perhaps, as we grow into a larger nation?" She asked and they exchanged glances.

"I think it's a good place, there hav't be any complaints about signing a treaty with them, but for a nation where monsters roam free, I'm not sure, you'll have to go there and see for yourself, I guess," Lisa responded, and Nessa smiled.

"I see, thank you; I might actually think about going tere one day, wh things improve a here," Nessa said, and they smiled.

"That's a good idea, my lady," Rina replied, before Nessa sipped her glass of water from the set she bought in the dwarfs city.

After everyone had finished, they left the tt after saying good night to Nessa, who wt to fresh up before going to bed.

That night, Nessa didn't have as much trouble sleeping as she usually does because of nightmares.

Wh Nessa awoke the next morning, she heard a lot of noise, so she jumped out of bed and rushed out of her tt, where she saw the dwarfs already at work.

"My lady, look out," Aion yelled as the wolf charged towards her, and her eyes wided as she leapt into the air and landed back on her feet, and sighed.

"Aion, slow down," Zietaz yelled, and Nessa chuckled.

"You guys are really early, I see a lot of new houses, ough for almost everyone here now," Nessa said as she wiped her eyes, and Zietaz approached her and smiled.

"Good morning and sorry, the noises are from us, we have all decided to work harder, make sure the houses are built properly, strong," Zietaz replied, and Nessa smiled.

"Good morning, it's fine, I am glad, I will go fresh up and join you guys, my magic will also come in handy," She said th returned to her tt to do her normal morning routine.

Wh Nessa was finished, she dressed and wt outside, where Akio approached her.

"Good morning, my lady," He said and she patted him on the head.

"Good morning, Akio, how is everything in the forest?" She inquired.

"Nothing suspicious so far," he replied, "but I'd like to inform you of a crystal cave I discovered just by the side of town, on the first hill that overlooks the town other than the one in front of the town."

[That is the cave where you discovered the dragon; it appears to have a permant trance and will remain op now that the dragon is no longer prest there.]

'I see,' Nessa observed.

"Thank you for informing me, Akio; I will go take a look at it in a few; there may be a lot of useful things there now, things that we can use," She said.

"Planning more things my lady?" Tehitos asked as he approached them

"Yes, we are expanding faster than expected, and the dwarfs and others are doing an excellt job; they work quickly, the houses are strong, and it would take a lot to destroy them; I would say things are going quite well," she replied, and he nodded.

"They certainly are, just as requested, the designs of the houses are a bit more modern, I assure you that you would hardly find houses like these in other kingdoms," Tehitos said and Nessa smiled.

"With all of you guys helping, I will make our home unique," She replied and he smiled.

"My lady, if you want to trade with another nation, start with the one from which I came; it will help you build your dream nation faster, pull the king's hair, would you like to hear more?" Youthim asked while being on the roof of a house and Nessa smirked at him.

"Sure, come on down and we'll talk," She responded and he grinned as he came off the roof and wt to Nessa, and the other dwarfs smiled nervously.

"Tell me everything you know, I would like to hear th I will think about it, I am not going to rush anything, I will take it a bit slow," She said and he smiled, knowing she was right and wanted to help her in any way he and the others can.

"You will befit greatly from them, ev goods for your nation," He said. "See, he has one of the strongest kingdoms and has be considered one of the strongest kings for a very long time, but he has never met someone like you before, so it will be differt."

"I see, tell me more; he's also a frid of yours, correct?" Is he worth putting your faith in? "I won't do it just because he is a great person, my people, and my home is what matters to me, I won't want an alliance to harm that, I won't tolerate being betrayed either," she replied, and Youthim smiled after hearing that.

"I understand, you are right to but I assure you, he is someone to be trusted; I have be by his side for years; the people consider him their hero in his kingdom and he is not selfish and only considers what will befit his kingdom," He said.

"I see, well, that's good, but do you think he will be fair wh it's a nation where a lot of monsters live?" She asked.

"Yeah, I don't think that would make much of a differce to him, and he won't pass up the opportunity to join forces with a strong nation, one that could pose a threat to him, having power beside him is the best thing possible as long as you all share a common interest but the only way to know for sure and be certain is to meet with him," He replied, and Nessa smiled.

"I'll think about getting an audice with him soon, but for now, let's keep working, thank you," She said, and he smiled and bowed his head.

"You are more than welcome," He replied before returning to work.
