Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 108: Looking forward

"Lady Nessa, you can be quite scary," Dalia said with a nervous smile and Nessa got up, then patted her on the head and she smiled.

"I know, I had to be that way because that's the only way they'll listen, nice doesn't always work now does it?" She inquired.

"You're right, fear can cause a lot of things, but that wasn't fear; they just don't want to disappoint you, right?" Liya asked.

"I believe that's it as well," Youthim responded, and Nessa nodded.

"Well, I have to tell you guys, I have a few more ideas concerning trading, and when the time comes, I will tell you, let's see how many allies we can create, trading will go well, and our nation will get rich as well, and we will be able to develop more," She said, and they smiled brightly.

"Really?" Liya asked.

"Yes, some will be unable to refuse me if they want good income and so on, leave the things that have to be traded for me to handle, I will help create the things, but we will need someone to handle the trading," She responded.

"We understand that but do you want us to handle that now?" Riki asked.

"Not yet; once we have a few more allies, I will assist you with what needs to be done, and then we will begin," They smiled after hearing her response.

"Well, that's good to know; we're looking forward to a lot of things," Riki said and she smiled then patted him on the shoulder.

"It's like I said, there are a lot of things that I want you all to have and experience, you all deserve that because of how your lives have been until now, until you came here, at first this was a tough decision, knowing the dangers out there," She replied as they looked at her.

"I remember you didn't know your way around at first, lady Nessa," Dalia said.

"Sai, are you willing to go meet the Lizardmen for me? See if they are up to joining hands or maybe even work under me?" She asked and he smiled.

"They'll have no chance against what's coming, in their current form which is not evolved, they will all die, I'll go, I'll handle this one myself, and both types of Lizardmen?" He asked.

"Types?" She inquired.

[There are those who live by lakes and swamps, which are normal, but there are those who live by snow mountains and frozen lakes, which are different and have wind abilities.]

"You go talk to the ones by the swamps, I'll go to the snow mountain, it's a little far and I can't believe there's only one of it within this forest, this place is truly mysterious," Nessa said and they smiled.

"This soil is part of magic, and this place was created to be a sanctuary for those with good intentions," Youthim replied, and Nessa smiled.

"I know, Sai, when do you want to go?" Nessa inquired, and he looked at the time, then sighed because it was only afternoon.

"I can leave right now, no problem," He replied as she looked at him.

"Are you sure?" She asked.

"Yes, I am certain," He responded.

"All right, if that's what you want, then go ahead, good luck with them Sai, I hear these creatures are quite stubborn," She said and he smirked.

"Don't worry, no one will be able to get rid of me that easily I am also known to be quite stubborn lady Nessa; I will return with good news for you and the others, no matter what," He replied, and she smiled then he winked at her before disappearing and the others looked at her.

"Now that that part is over, lady Nessa, when are we leaving for the snow mountain?" Riki asked as he approached Nessa and she left staring at him.
