Ascension of the Monster Queen

"How long have they been working?" Nessa inquired.

"Right around 5 a.m.," Youthim replied as he approached her, and she sighed.

"Good morning, Youthim," She said and he smiled.

"Good morning lady Nessa, seems like your home will be completed sooner than we thought, the biggest one within the town, you didn\'t want a castle, we get that but you deserved something great to show that this is our leader\'s home and great we built," He replied and she smiled.

"Thank you very much, I really appreciate it, you guys didn\'t have to build such a grand home, but you did..." She said and he chuckled then patted her on the back.

"To be honest, you are quite humble, and you deserve more than just a grand home; how old are you?" He inquired.

"I\'m nineteen years old," She replied and he left staring at her.

"You are quite young, my lady," Yanka said as he, Riki, and the others approached her, and she smiled.

"Good morning, guys," She replied.

"Good morning, lady Nessa," They said.

"I didn\'t realize you were that young, I thought you were twenty-something, but you are really young, no one has built a nation from the ground up at this age, and once people find out, they will believe you are weak and will try to challenge your authority," Riki said, and Nessa smiled.

"It wouldn\'t be such a bad thing if they challenged me; all I\'d have to do is show them who\'s superior, am I right, Riki?" He chuckled when she asked.

"Yes and we are here to help you with that so there is no need to worry," He responded and she smiled.

"Well, seems like your house will be finished very soon," Liya said and Nessa smiled.

"Seems like it, I can tell the inside won\'t look that different from that of a castle, they went all out," Nessa replied and they laughed.

"You deserved it and also, lady Nessa, since you are so young, learn to confide into us at times, if there is anything you need to talk about concerning your past or anything else, we will listen, right guys?" Riki asked and the others nodded in agreement with him and she sighed then smiled.

"So you guys want to know about my past, am I right?" She asked as they looked at each other smiling and she sighed, knowing that they wanted to know but won\'t ask.

"All right, here is what I will tell you, soon enough I will open up about it, not yet though, is that good?" She asked.

"Yeah, that\'s better than nothing," Dalia responded.

"She is right, you can take your time, lady Nessa, we are right here and we are not going anywhere," Liya said and Nessa looked at her then patted her on the head.

"Thank you, guys," She replied.

"You are welcome," They said.

"Now let\'s get going, we have a lot of work to do, but first I\'ll need your opinions on something, follow me," Nessa said as she walked away, and they followed her to the tent, where she got the milk from the fridge under the tent and placed it on the table.

Because of the rune magic, which was permanent and helped them in many ways, electricity was connected to the town, and Nessa brought a few freezers and different types of fridges from the dwarf king\'s kingdom so that everyone cane get.

He gave them a lot as a gift of them forming an alliance as well , and Youthim and the others knew how to make them, so they made both custom ones and each home had them so that everyone could live in comfort, and they only did it because Nessa asked them to, and they had already begun teaching their skills to goblins and a few Orcs.

While the others watched, Nessa heated the milk and began making the chocolate milk. When she was finished and it had cooled, Nessa poured a glass for each of them and they collected it.

"Drink up and tell me what you think, even kids can have these," She said, and they smiled before starting to drink.

After they finished, they looked at Nessa, who was staring at them, and smiled.

"I am not used to drinking such soothing thing,s but this one is really good, it would taste great both warm and cold and it\'s not too sweet," Riki said and Nessa sighed in relief upon hearing that.

"How about you guys? "Do you feel the same way?" Dalia poured another glass and handed it to Vill, who approached them and handed another to Nessa as they exchanged glances.

"Taste it for yourself as well," Dalia said, and Nessa and Vill drank it and when they finished, they smiled.

"It\'s good," They both said and the others smiled before nodding.

"Yes, it\'s very good; I believe these will sell; even an old man like me enjoyed it; I doubt people will refuse it," Yanka replied, and Nessa smiled before turning to face Vill and Liya.

"Can you guys make a batch?" She asked.

"Yes, don\'t worry a batch is nothing, I saw the ingredients, we\'ll make it, you go and do what you have to," Liya responded, and Nessa smiled then left since she still had a lot more Orcs to name and wanted to start early.
