Ascension of the Monster Queen

"We will decide where we go sooner than you realize, Dalia," Riki said with his eyes shining and she smiled at him as Liya looked at the two then sighed.

"You two are cute," Liya said and Riki glanced at her then shrugged and Dalia sighed.

"No, you're wrong, anyway, I'll start helping, you guys should come as well," Dalia said as she rushed off, and they got up to help.

Nessa was walking through the forest when she came across some growing grapes and smiled before sniffing them.

"Lady Nessa," Isamu said as he approached her, and she smiled at him.

"Can you tell me if these are good, Isamu?" She inquired.

[Most of these things in the forest are edible and healthy, master.]

"Yes, lady Nessa, this is good," Isamu said as he sniffed the grapes.

"They're not being eaten; they'll just keep growing and falling off," mumbled Nessa.

[Perhaps you can use them to help yourself and your newly formed nation in the future; they can be used to make a variety of things, and since you are not from here, I am sure you are aware of various things that could be created from them and taste delicious.]

'I do, well, I will put my modern ideas to use,' Nessa thought as she patted Isamu and he looked at her as she picked one of the grapes and ate it before sighing.

"Is it not good?" Isamu asked then she shoved a grape into his mouth and he ate it and then nodded as she stared at him.

He said, "Sweet, but good," and she smiled.

"I know, I have just gotten an idea but will only put it to use soon, I will make us rich as well," She replied as he stared at her a bit confused.

"If it's good for you, lady Nessa, we'll look forward to what you make," Isamu said and she smiled.

"You can be cute at times, Isamu," She replied, and he lowered his head, looking away from her. She smiled and passed her hand on his head.

Isamu followed Nessa as she continued walking and looking at the things that grew in the forest.

While looking, Nessa had a few more ideas that she would only implement after gaining more allies; by doing so, she will be able to gain a lot because her ideas were different from most.

"Lady Nessa, will our home evolve into a popular nation over which people would want to possibly gain control over?" Isamu asked and she glanced at him.

"Yes, it will become one of the most popular nations known to man and monsters, I will make it happen, we will not only gain a better life, but we will make sure we can get what we want as long as it's good, why?" She inquired.

"There's no reason, I just wanted to know, we'll do our best to help protect it, don't worry," He replied, and she sighed.

"That's good to hear from you, Akio; then I won't worry as much, and you'll all be happy; I promised everyone a better life, and I don't intend to break that promise, now or ever," She said, as Isamu looked around then took a deep breath before looking at her with sparkling eyes, and she grinned.

"I'm glad you're happy; it took you a while to trust me, too, but I'm glad you did," She added.

"Only a crazy person would not have faith in you, lady Nessa, you are the greatest person I have ever met, I knew from the start that I would be able to trust you," He replied, and she felt relieved to hear that.

"That's great to hear, I'm glad; now let's look at the other things; if we can use them to make different things in the future, trading won't be a problem," She said and he nodded and looked around the forest for other edible things.

A long time had passed Nessa and Isamu looking around before returning to town, where she sat down, exhausted, and Youthim who was passing by noticed her and smiled.

"Lady Nessa, are you okay?" He asked and she looked at him, then smiled as he looked at Isamu who sat beside her.

"Yeah, I am fine, we just went the extra mile within the forest, there are a lot of good things in some parts, though we bumped into something called a Silvershin spider later on and we decided to come back, I am in no mood to kill it," She responded and Youthim burst out laughing as did the others since they were nearby and heard.

"Are you okay?" Riki asked and Isamu stretched off as Akio approached him and patted him on the back and Isamu's brows started twitching.

"What do you believe you're doing?" He yelled, and Akio flinched.

"You are a vicious beast," Akio replied.

"Huh?" Isamu asked as he stood up while the others looked at them.

"You two can't get along at all, can you?" Nessa asked as they growled at each other before turning to face her.

"Of course, we can, we just haven't tried," Akio responded, her eyes narrowing as she leaned in closer to both of them with a terrifying smile, and they began to tremble.

Isamu mumbled, "L- Lady Nessa."

"You two, pay close attention to what I'm saying, okay?" They both nodded as the others looked on, wanting to laugh but holding back.

"What exactly is it, lady Nessa?" Akio inquired.

"You two will try your hardest to start getting along, no matter how difficult it may be, your races will start getting along, share this with your friends, am I clear or do I have to go an extra mile to be clear on this, huh?" She asked, and they swallowed.

"You are quite clear, lady Nessa," Isamu responded.

"Crystal clear lady Nessa, we will try our best to get along and we will tell the others as well, we will tell them exactly this so they don't make a mistake, we will all start getting along very soon, promise, bye," Akio added before rushing off with Isamu and Nessa smiled.
