Ascension of the Monster Queen

When Nessa returned to the city that night, she stretched off, then yawned as the others stared at her and she looked at them with her brows furrowing, wondering why they were looking at her like that.

"What's the matter? Why are you all looking at me like that?" She asked as she stepped back a little and they smiled at her.

"Congratulations, lady Nessa," They said while bowing their heads, she flinched since it was so sudden and they laughed.

"Thank you, you can raise your heads up, you guys helped with this, I will treat you all to a good meal tomorrow, I have a few different things in mind," She replied and they looked at her with bright smiles and she sighed in relief.

'I am starting to think I will literally do anything to protect their smiles, I find it precious,' Nessa thought as she stared at them and they tilted their heads.

"Is something wrong?" Riki asked.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"No, nothing's wrong," She responded.

"We can't wait to see what you have in mind tomorrow, I want to learn more about cooking from you as well," Liya said and Nessa chuckled then patted her on her head and the girl smiled at her.

"Well, I will be making a few different things so you will learn about them, don't worry, I haven't forgotten my promise to any of you," She replied.

"We know, you have been fulfilling them all the time," Riki said and Nessa smiled at him.

"I have a feeling, tomorrow is going to be a good day, let's all head home now, have dinner and get some rest, it's getting close to midnight," Youthim added and they nodded in agreement with him.

"All right, good night, see you in the morning," Nessa said before walking away.

"Good night," They replied, then went to their homes to call it a night.

Nessa went to her home and she stretched off before entering and closing the door behind her then she went to freshen up in her room.

A while after, when she had finished freshening up, she changed into a long, long sleeve dark blue nightgown and went to the kitchen to get something to eat.

Liya had brought over snacks she had made for Nessa earlier and Nessa took them, then went to the back porch and sat down to eat it, while looking at the night sky and breathing in the fresh air.

'I have to thank him as well, he is one of the reasons I got to meet those people, I don't know who he is or even if he is up to something, which is why I will not trust him or let my guard down, I will have to find out more about him, it's time our meetings go my way,' Nessa thought with a smile.

When Nessa finished eating her meal, she went to her bed, then laid back before exhaling deeply and a short while after, she fell asleep since she was very tired as well.

After a good night's rest, the next morning, when Nessa woke up, she stretched off, then got out of her bed and looked outside before smiling.

"All right, I will be treating them to dinner today, so I will finish all of my other work early, then come back to cook," Nessa mumbled before grabbing her clothes and going to freshen up since she didn't want to be late.

A little while after, when Nessa finished her morning routine and got dressed, she left her home and headed into the city.

"Good morning, lady Nessa," The people said as she passed by and she smiled at them.

"Good morning, everyone, how are you all doing?" She asked before coming to a halt, they surrounded and she chuckled.

"We are doing fine, how are you today, lady Nessa?" A child asked and she stooped down and he approached her.

"I am fine, thank you, how old are you?" She asked.

"I am ten years old," He responded then she patted him on his head and he grinned.

"Lady Nessa, here," Someone said and the people began giving her things and she smiled nervously while collecting the things.

'What am I going to do with all of this? I am not a giant to eat so much,' She thought when Riki and the others were passing by and saw that she was surrounded.

Riki chuckled as they approached her and she peeked at them and they waved at her then she sighed.

"All right, let's help her," Dalia said as they passed through the crowd, then collected the things from her hand and she waved at the people before leaving with Dalia and the others and the people went back to doing their work.

Nessa exhaled deeply and they looked at her and she glanced at them and they laughed as she smiled. Find adventures at empire

"Thanks for getting me out of there, I needed the help," She said.

"Yeah, we know that you did, also, you have work to do, so have you had breakfast as yet?" Liya asked.

"No, I didn't eat breakfast as yet, on my way to collect the king and queen along with whoever is with them, I will have something to eat," She responded.

"No, that won't do, come by the pavilion, I will get you a hot cup of coffee with a pastry," Liya said as they went to the pavilion then she sat down.

"Lady Nessa, we have been training many different types of people living here lately, a lot of them are learning, you have an army now, ever thought of starting ranking us?" Riki asked and Nessa glanced at him and then smiled.

"Yeah, I have thought of that a few times and I will, just not yet, let's see where things go, for today, we will just show our guests around and handle the other things and after that, just relax, whatever rest is left to take care of, we can do that another time, how about that?" She asked.

"Yeah, that sounds good to me, I am waiting to see what you have in mind for later," He responded and she chuckled.

After a few minutes of talking with them, Liya brought Nessa her breakfast and she thanked the girl then collected it and began eating.
