Ascension of the Monster Queen

She smiled and looked at him after hearing the king's suggestion about her trading idea, knowing exactly what she wanted to do at the time and that it would be best for her to accept his offer.

"All right, I'll send you the first batch," Nessa said, and the king smiled.

"That's good to know; as you know, my kingdom has a lot of different things that can help you; will you accept my offer to form an alliance with me?" He asked, and she smiled and extended her hand, and he looked at her.

"I agree," He smiled and shook her hand as she responded.

"I look forward to a bright future with you, lady Nessa," He said.

"As do I, your highness," She replied, smiling before turning to face the others.

"Also, why are the bad Orcs here?" He asked and Nessa sighed.

"They are not bad Orcs, they were just being controlled; their leader is dead, as is the guy who was controlling them; their previous leader asked me to look after his son and the others; I took them all in and will name as many as I want, they deserve to be forgiven and also deserve a good life," She responded as he stared at her then smiled.

"You are dangerous, but I understand very well, one thing that I don't though, is why? Why did the guy that was controlling them do this?" He asked.

"He was working for someone, we'll figure it out soon enough, but for now we have other things to deal with, their time will come, will you still support us?" She asked and he smiled.

"Of course I will and I will help in any way I can," He responded and she smirked.

"Let's go give them good news," She said as she walked away and he followed her to them then they exhaled deeply.

"Guys, we have come to a very serious decision and we would like all of you to listen carefully," The king said as they exchanged glances then returned their gaze towards the two.

"What decision?" Riki asked.

"We made the decision to form an alliance between our nations, and we did so," The king responded, and they all smiled brightly before beginning to clap.

"Congratulations," They said.

"Thank you," They replied, and the king turned to face Nessa, who smiled.

"It's already after lunch, didn't I take up a lot of your time?" She inquired.

"No, you didn't; I decided to come today because I had some free time as well," He replied.

"Good, that's good to know, you guys have a long way back," She said as her eyes narrowed while staring at their path back.

"I have a suggestion," Nessa said and he glanced at her.

"I am listening," He replied.

"How about we start a fully running trading route? A road?" She asked.

"Hmm, that's not a bad idea, but this will be a gift from me, I will provide everything needed for building the road, all we need is workers and they will receive payment as well if need be," He responded and she smiled before both of them turned around, looking at the Orcs who exchanged glances before returning their gaze towards them and Nessa smiled.

"What's the matter, Lady Nessa?" Zilrud's nephew asked.

"I have a job for you guys," The king responded.

"What kind of job your highness?" He asked.

"We want to build a road connecting us for a proper trading route, so we won't have a hard time coming and going, we need workers, you will be paid if necessary, I am providing everything that will be required to build a strong and long lasting road, are you guys willing to work?" He inquired, and they smiled and bowed their heads.

"If this is going to help lady Nessa then we will be more than willing to help, count us in, there are a lot of us and we can build the road as well as work in building things within the town, that way no one will be pressured, beside there are more of us than needed," The nephew responded and Nessa smiled at them before looking at the king.

"Well, now that this is settled, when do you want to begin construction Lady Nessa?" The king inquired.

"How about a week after I finish naming the majority of them?" She asked, and the king smiled.

"In a week is just fine with me," He responded then she exhaled deeply.

"Do you want to take a seat? Have some lunch or so?" Nessa asked and the king patted her on the shoulder.

"Relax, we spent a good enough time here, now we have to get back, I am a king after all," He responded and she smiled.

"I will see you soon enough, lady Nessa, until then, take care," He said as he walked away then got into his chariot and she smiled.

"Take care as well," She replied, and he smirked. They took off, and she sighed before stretching and looking back at the others.

"Well, we earned the support of another nation, and I am also very hungry," Nessa said, and they laughed before returning to their work.

Nessa went under the tent, where Liya gave her a glass of juice and something to eat because she was hungry and didn't want to be when she began naming the Orcs.

While eating, Nessa observed them at work. Aion and the others approached her, and she glanced at them before smiling.

"What's the matter?" She asked.

"We're going to get the milk for you right now, maybe we can start taking care of a few cows and get our own milk, the animals on this land produce more than normal ones and it's healthier, we'll be right back," He responded then left with his friends.

"That's not a bad idea," She said and Liya glanced at her.

"There are a lot of us lady Nessa, we can take care of it, all you have to do is give us the order and we will create a little place for them and take care of them well," Liya said, and Nessa smiled before finishing her glass of juice while thinking about what to do next.
