Ascension of the Monster Queen

[You can take in the good Orcs and command them; I know you won\'t do it for selfish reasons, but it could result in a larger growth sprout within your nation, and then everyone will know.]

"That\'s exactly what I was going to do in the first place, we need to help each other with this," Nessa said before sighing and turning to face Riki.

"Did they hurt you any one of you?" She asked.

"No, they just made a threat and left, no one was hurt," He responded and she smiled.

"I\'m sorry," She apologized.

Riki replied, "It\'s fine."

"May I ask you a question?" Nessa inquired, and the Orc turned to face her.

"Certainly," She replied.

"I\'ll assist you, but will you accept me as your new leader?" Are you willing to leave your home and begin a new life here?" She asked as the young Orc smiled and grabbed Nessa\'s hand, and Nessa lifted him up in her arms as his mother looked around at the various creatures that lived in the town, and she smiled.

"Are you going to be able to defeat them?" She asked, and Nessa nodded as the others looked on.

"Then I\'ll gladly work under you because there\'s no way we can defeat them this way; we\'ve lost too many lives trying," She responded, and Nessa looked at her.

"I promise you that I will defeat them no matter what and that I will protect and provide for you all as your leader; may I also speak with your husband and see if he will agree?" Nessa asked and the woman smiled at her.

"Yes, you can, I am sure he will feel the same way as I do," She responded and Nessa smiled at her then gave her her child and looked at the others who were smiling.

"Are you sure about this?" Tehitos asked.

"Won\'t you guys love the new company?" She asked.

"Yes, and since they\'re already planning to take our home away from us, we don\'t mind," He responded, and she smiled.

"We better prepare for them, we will not be going down without a fight, what else are you going to do now, lady Nessa?" Riki asked.

"First, go to her village, then form more alliances, win our first fight, and keep growing our nation," She responded and he smirked.

"Um... Alliance?" "Did you get what you went for?" Riki asked and she smiled.

"Yes, we now have our first kingdom supporting us, and they have also sent gifts," She responded, and they all cheered, and she chuckled.

"Your hard work has paid off, my lady," Youthim said.

"Thank you, I had to save a few lives and so on, but it all worked out in the end, and that\'s good; I also gained a few friends," She replied, and he smiled as she remembered the gifts she had collected, and her eyes began to glow blue as they looked at her.

"What\'s the matter?" Dalia inquired as a blue magical circle appeared on the ground, erupting with a pile of gifts, and they all left staring at it before smiling.

"This is the number of gifts they sent; let us open it and see what it is," She said as Dalia and the others began opening the gifts, and they all looked at how many sweets and different things there were, including building materials.

"Youthim and the weapon makers, you guys can take what you need in your area, go ahead, pretty sure they spent hours getting these gifts," She said and they smiled as they began separating the gifts.

"There are a lot of cooking things as well, Lady Nessa," Dalia said, and Nessa looked at Liya, who smiled.

"Take it," Nessa said when she noticed the construction of a building near the back of town and she sighed.

"What\'s that beyond the bridge?" Nessa inquired, and they looked at it then smiled.

"Do you want to live in a palace?" Youthim inquired, and she cast a glance at him.

"Of course not," She replied, and he sighed before turning to face the others.

"I told you she wouldn\'t want that, to answer your question, it\'s a mansion for you, where you can live and hold meetings and so on," Youthim said and she exhaled deeply.

"Think of it as a gift from us," Dalia said.

"I can\'t say no now, thank you," She replied as she bowed her head and Riki approached her, raising her head up and she she stared at him as he smiled.

"Never bow your head to us or anyone else, my lady," He said, and she sighed.

"Can I really take these, Lady Nessa?" Liya inquired, and Nessa glanced at her.

"Sure, I\'ll start teaching you to cook the things I can, and if this place becomes as popular as I believe it will, we\'ll be able to open something in that field," Nessa replied, and Liya smiled brightly.

"That would be more than awesome," Liya said, and Riki chuckled before throwing something at Nessa, who caught it before realizing it was a bar of chocolate.

"Do you not want it?" She inquired as she opened it, broke it in half, and handed it to him.

"Try it," She said and he collected it, then took a bite and sighed.

"How was it?" SAhe asked and he smiled.

"Very sweet, but nice, and I felt soothing while eating it," He replied, and she chuckled before throwing the bar at him, which he grabbed and looked at her.

"Do you not want some?" He inquired, and she smiled.

"It\'s fine, I\'ve had a lot of those before, go ahead and enjoy it," She replied.

"OK, thank you very much," He said.

"You\'re welcome, you guys need to try more things, I\'m going to take all of you out of your comfort zones," She replied and they laughed as Riki ate.
