Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 171: In thoughts

Hearing what Vill said made Nessa feel a little more concerned about the threats they might face in the future, and that feeling caused her body to glow blue, causing the air around them to become heavy, instilling a sense of protection within her heart and a desire to destroy those who stood in her way.

Riki and the others turned around when they sensed her, and a smirk appeared on Nessa's face and at the same time, night fell, and Liya and Vill swallowed while staring at her, wondering what she was thinking, but little did they know, Nessa didn't care who she had to kill, but she would do whatever it took to keep her nation standing and her people safe.

"Lady Nessa," Liya mumbled, and Riki's eyes narrowed as she looked at her. Liya then placed her hand on Nessa's shoulder, and after sensing the girl, Nessa returned to normal before sighing and looking at her.

"I apologize; I got a little carried away with my thoughts just now; did I scare you?" Nessa asked and Liya sighed before smiling,

"Not quite, it's okay, now, dinner is ready, come join us," Liya responded, and Vill assisted her in arranging the food on the table before they sat down and took their food.

After they began eating, Dalia tapped Nessa on the shoulder and Nessa glanced at her.

"What is it, Dalia?" She asked.

"What were you thinking just now?" Dalia asked and Nessa sighed.

"About how I will destroy those who tries to get in our way," She responded and Dalia chuckled.

"That's not a bad thing because only bad people would try to get rid of us, for their own selfish reasons, but relax a bit, know that we will never let anyone take this from you or us, even if we have to kill," Dalia said.

"I agree with Dalia, that monstrous side is within our nature and will never go away, all one has to do to get it out is trigger it, then they will know what it feels like to be in hell," Riki replied, and Nessa chuckled.

"Guys, good morning, please gather around, I have to separate you, it's time to work," She said and they smiled before wishing her good morning.

"Now, let's get to work," Nessa said as she began separating the Orcs then after she finished, they said goodbye to their families who won't be far away from them then they left with the knights in the chariots, to start building the road.

"Lady Nessa," Liya called out and Nessa went back to her and she sighed as Liya handed her a glass of cold juice to drink and she smiled then thanked her before drinking it.

When Nessa finished, Liya collected her bag, then looked at Nessa who smiled at her.

"What is it?" Nessa asked.

"I am going to pack more things in your bag before you leave, you will need a lot of things since you are going to a strange place, am I starting to sound like an old lady?" Liya asked and Nessa chuckled.

"You do not, you sound much more like an older sister to me and that's great, it's feels good, cared for, Liya," She responded and Liya smiled, feeling much pleased to hear that.

Liya went to pack Nessa's bag while Nessa looked around the town, enjoying her view, and she sighed in relief when she saw how happy everyone was, but she couldn't help but feel a little scared in her heart, scared of them losing their happiness.

"Lady Nessa, it's nearing midday, will you be leaving then?" Riki asked as he approached her and she glanced at him before smiling.

"Yes, I am, I will be leaving then, I know where I have to go so that's good, I don't know when I will be back do so you have to make sure things are always in tact here, got it?" She asked and he chuckled.

"Don't worry, I assure you that I will take good care of your town, no matter what," He responded and she smiled before getting up and patting him on the shoulder then he sighed and she looked at Liya who brought her bag back and she collected it.
