Ascension of the Monster Queen

Nesssa knew whatever was going on was more serious after seeing how concerned and serious the king appeared, and she wanted to know more of what he knew in detail, because she didn't want to get herself into any sort of trouble that could put her home in danger.

"What are you talking about?" When Nessa asked, the king sighed.

"We have heard that in one of the kingdoms, many unspeakable things are happening, the king and queen are dead, the diamond is now lost, and someone in their family has now taken over the kingdom but they are facing other problems as well, no one knows much more," He responded, and Nessa's eyes widened when she heard that.

At that point, Nessa realized she was the one with the lost diamond and the man who gave it to her was the king of the kingdom he was referring to, and she knew where she needed to go to find out more even though it was dangerous.

"What kind of kingdom is this?" She asked.

"A strong one with access to many resources, a lot of things are changing and at a very fast rate, but you already know that," He responded, as she sighed.

"Yeah, I know that better than anyone right now, and I have a few ideas for my next move as well, let me show you who will be in charge of here when I am gone," She said as she stood up and looked at them.

Nessa then blew a loud whistle which captured everyone's attention and they all looked at her, stopping that which they were doing.

"Lady Nessa, what's wrong?" Riki asked as he approached her and she grabbed onto his arm and pulled him beside her and everyone within the town stared at them.

"Now, I want you all to listen to me carefully, as you know, now that I have finished naming, the construction of the road will begin under the king's supervision and the one who will be in charge of this town and all of you while I am gone, there are a few things that I have to do," She said and they smiled at her.

"We are listening lady Nessa, we know that you have other things to take care of, which is why you have to leave, who are you going to place in charge?" Liya asked.

"I think I already know who, a perfect candidate for her," Yanka said and Liya chuckled then Nessa smiled and looked at Riki.

"What?" He asked.

"Guys, the one who will be taking charge until I return is Riki," She announced and they all left staring at her.

"Huh? Are you sure about this?" Dalia asked and Nessa grinned as she looked at the time and saw that night will be arriving soon since it was already late in the afternoon.

"Yes, I am fairly certain that this is for the best, and who else do you know who can do everything at once, protecting? Making sure that everything is done correctly while fighting in case something goes wrong?" They smiled and bowed their heads in response to her question.

"We understand, lady Nessa, and we accept your choice; he is truly the best to handle this," Liya responded and Nessa smiled.

"Don't worry, we will help if he becomes more tyrannical, we will all continue doing what we are supposed to, you shouldn't worry," Dalia said, and Riki sighed before turning to Nessa, who smiled as she looked at him.

"Do you not want to do it?" She inquired.

"It's not that, I just realized how much you trust me, lady Nessa, doing something like what you just did requires more than just trust in someone, I humbly accept the job, I promise I will do whatever I can to help, and I will protect this place even if it means losing my life," He responded as she stared at him then patted him on the shoulder, and he looked at her.

"I'm glad you accepted, and of course it's more than just trust; I believe in you guys more than you know, and now I'll tell you that I will be leaving tomorrow around midday," She said and he exhaled deeply.

"We hear you, lady Nessa, and we will take care of our home no matter what; we will always be there for each other, right guys?" Liya asked.

"Yeah!" They shouted, and Nessa chuckled as the king rose to his feet and placed his hand on her shoulder and she glanced at him.

"Then we will start the construction tomorrow morning, I will assign my men to help out and they will get what's needed for the Orcs, shall we start building from my kingdom coming back to here?" He asked.

"Yes, we should, that's a good idea," She responded and he smiled.

"Then it's settled; I'll have everything ready from our end by tomorrow morning, and you can dispatch the set that will come to begin construction," He said, and she smiled.

"Got it," She replied as her people bowed to them and they smiled then they raised up and Nessa stretched off before turning to the king and everyone went back to doing their work.

"Can I ask you something?" She asked.

"Sure, what is it?" He asked.

"Could you point me in the direction of that kingdom you were talking about?" His eyes narrowed as he looked at her, and she smiled nervously.

"Why?" He asked.

"Just want to know so even I can avoid it..." She responded.

"I see, well here," He said as he took out a small paper from his pocket and handed it to her and she saw it was a map and he took out a pen then marked off the location of the kingdom and she smiled.

"Thank you very much, I needed this because I had no idea where it was, I still have a lot more figuring out to do to be honest and that's going to take a while since not everything goes the way you want it to or expect it to go," She said.

"Yeah, I know that, lady Nessa, I have seen many things happen," He replied with a grinned and she exhaled deeply before looking at the map.
