Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 93: Race to the town

Nessa transfored into her fox form and rushed away after baiting Akio with a race, and he chased her down.

They had a lot of fun racing back home, but while running through the forest's street, they noticed a carriage passing by and Nessa's eyes widened as she was about to run right into it, but Akio dashed towards her, grabbed her using his mouth and the carriage swayed as he dashed into the forest then placed her down while panting and they peeked at the carriage and saw it was fine then sighed in relief.

"We are saved," Akio said and Nessa looked at him and sighed.

"You helped me back there, thank you," She said and he looked at her.

"You are welcome, and I did say I would protect you no matter what, my lady," He replied, and she jumped onto his back while he looked at her.

"Are you giving up already?" He inquired, and she chuckled.

"I am, you win; I became careless, and you rescued me," He chuckled and rushed off, and she placed her head against him as they passed by, gazing at the beautiful scenery.

"Are you sleeping?" He asked, and she smiled.

"No, I'm not," she replied, "the view I'm getting here is just nice and peaceful, thank you, Akio." He sighed.

"There's no need to thank me; this is entirely yours to claim, isn't it?" He asked and she glanced at him.

"You guys really want me to take everything other than those that are claimed by the good guys huh?" She asked.

"It's better that way, many people want this land, it's also one of the most fertile, anything can grow here, we won't need anyone, my lady," He responded.

[Master, he is completely correct about this land; if any royal gets their hands on it and a chance to farm it, they will take it, because the magic within this land will make everything perfect.]

"I understand, and I promise that I will claim it, that I will become the leader that I want to be, I will also have those dreams will come true," She said and Akio looked at her before walking down a hill and stopping where she opened her eyes and looked ahead of them at the beautiful flower field, and she gasped when she saw how they were shimmering due to the sunlight.

Nessa dismounted Akio and assumed her human form, gazing at the flowers and smiling at the sparkles they emitted even during the day.

"Aren't they wonderful, day?" Akio inquired.

"Yes, they are, they are fantastic, thank you very much," She replied.

"There's no need to thank me; this is what this land can produce, my lady; this is yours," He said, and she exhaled deeply before turning to face him. Your source is |em|pyr.

"Don't worry, Akio, I will let the world know that this place is off-limits to those with selfish desires," She replied, and he bowed his head to her as they heard howling and turned around to see the goblins and wolves passing by on the street through the forest not far from them, and she smiled as she transformed into her fox form and both she and AKio took off towards them.

"I had no idea I'd see them," Akio said.

"Likewise, they must have left town to go shopping, based on the sizes of the bags they are carrying with them," She replied.

"You're right, otherwise they wouldn't have left like that," He said as they caught up to them and both of them jumped in front of them and roared, causing them to scream, and the wolves growled at them after throwing the goblins on their buttocks, and Nessa transformed to her human form, and they stared at her as she and Akio laughed.

"Lady Nessa, you've returned," One of the goblins said and when she looked at him, she saw it was Aion, and she smiled.

"How are you guys doing? I hope you didn't cause too much trouble for the others, Aion," She responded and he smiled nervously while rubbing the back of his head and she sighed.

"As if I'd ever do something like that, are you really back or on your way somewhere else?" He inquired, and she turned to face Akio.

"I'm back, I don't need to go anywhere else right now, and I have news for the others as well," She replied and he happily jumped up, and she smiled.

"It's good to have you guys back home, shall we head back?" Aion asked, and Nessa smiled as she transformed into her fox form and ran away, and they raced after her, racing to get back to town.

While returning to town, Nessa felt someone approaching them and gasped as she saw a giant Orc ahead of them. She crashed directly into the Orc, who caught her in its arms, and Aion and the others gasped as they stared at the creature before getting off their wolves and pointing swords at it.

"I apologize," The Orc said, setting Nessa down, and she transformed into her human form, and the Orc gasped while staring at her when Nessa noticed it was a female of its kind who was covered in bruises.

"Who or what are you?" Nessa stood up and smiled as she asked.

"I am just a regular person, why are you hurt?" Nessa inquired as Aion tugged at her clothes and she looked at him.

"What exactly is it, Aion?" He lowered his head when she asked.

"Let's not get involved with them; you haven't heard what's been going on lately," He responded.

"Listen to him, young lady; I'm fine; I will be on my way now," As they heard someone call out "Mommy," the woman turned around and saw a little male Orc running towards her, and she smiled and lifted him up in her arms.

'What exactly is going on here? She is hurt, and the child appears to be crying; are they in any trouble?' While staring at them, Nessa wondered.

[Master this could be due to the many changes that have occurred within the forest as a result of the struggle for dominance.]
