Chapter 14: Approval
"That's one shady smile you got there," The fox said.
"Oh? If you don't like it, simply leave and return to where you came from." The wolf mumbled, and the fox began to growl.
"Hey, you two, pay atttion," Nessa said and the wolf lowered his head.
"Now, foxy," She said.
"I hereby name you Isamu, which means courage where I am from," She said, and he closed his eyes as his body and the rest of his packs lit up gold.
"Thank you, my lady," he said before walking away, and the wolf approached her.
"I'll have to come up with a good name for you as well," She said.
"Anything is fine with me, my lady," He replied, and she smiled.
"Ah, but that wouldn't be fair to you; you are a strong one; I now name you Akio, which means 'glorious hero,' do you like it?" She inquired as he began wagging his tail, and she smiled.
'I take that as a yes,' Nessa thought as the wolves howled, and she smiled.
"They seem to be happy," She observed as Zietaz approached her.

"They seem to like their names, my lady, and I've already helped the other goblins, and they like their names as well," He explained.
"I do," He admitted and she looked a at their houses.
"I do," He admitted as she looked a at their homes.
[Notice. Your body still has a lot of ergy more than you can possibly need, but you are exhausted from your journey; rest is necessary or your body will be unable to tolerate certain things; you need good food and at least a day's rest.]
"I see, half of the day is finished, I will try to get food and try a day's sleep, Zietaz, do you have meat? I hav't eat proper food in a long time and could befit from some," She stated.
"Leave that to me; I'll be right back, my lady," He said as he rushed off, and she looked at the forest and the beautiful hills that sured the village.
"Miss notice, how big is this forest?" She asked.
"It's large ough to house one of the largest kingdoms," The system replied.
"Oh of the largest kingdoms? Which is that?" Nessa asked.
[The kingdom of Tetophia.]
"Tetophia," She said as she walked out of the village and up one of the hills beside it that looked over the village, where she stood under the apple tree and saw the same phoix she had first se flying by and smiled.
"What does gaining power over this land mean for ev the strongest kingdom?" She inquired.
[The forest contains a lot of resources, excluding ev the monsters, it will add power and ev more power if you were to have the monsters under your control.]
"Are you saying they won't care what the creatures who inhabit this land think?" She asked.
"The possibility of them caring is less than 50%," The system answered to which Nessa sighed.
"Hmm, Is that so? Well, miss notice, I have my hands full indeed, I will start building my own nation right here," She said.
"Are you certain about that?" The system inquired.
"Yes, I am; I want a place of peace and harmony, no matter what race lives there, whether humans or monsters; I will build a nation that will be remembered, I have nothing else to do in this world; I know it will probably cause problems, but so be it; I will protect those who cannot protect themselves," She responded.
"That's admirable; well, I'll be here with you on this journey if you need assistance with anything," The system said and she smiled.
"I am going to ask them something," She said as she rushed down the hill and wt back to the village.
"Everyone," She said, and they all turned to look at her.
"Here, my lady," Zietaz said, handing her a bowl of cooked meat, and she smiled.
"Thank you; would you like to hear what I have to say?" She inquired.
"Certainly," He replied.
"I was thinking, what if I built my own nation right here? Will you be okay with your village expanding into something bigger, as I mtioned earlier?" She asked and the goblins exchanged glances th they all smiled.
"A dream to build a peaceful nation, one where anyone, human or monster, can live without fear, one where no one but me has control and the support of its citizs? Do you think we could get along if humans agreed to live with us?" She inquired.
"I like that dream, and I wish for that too," Zietaz said.
"Same," They all agreed, and Zietaz grinned as Nessa looked at them.
"Are you comfortable just handing everything over to me?" She inquired.
"You helped us despite not knowing us and asked for nothing in return; we don't need anything else to trust you; we will follow you wholeheartedly, my lady, and we will give it our all," Zietaz responded.
"I am going to ask everyone here one more time, are you certain?" She asked.
"Yeah," They replied, and she smiled brightly as they looked at her pleased.
"Just tell us wh we have to get to work, it's going to be night soon, you woke up late, so the day flew by," Zietaz said and she chuckled.
"You correct, shall we begin discussing our first move first thing tomorrow morning?" She inquired.
"Sure, we'll be there," the old goblin, now known as Tehitos, said.
"Mister, what's your new name?" She inquired.
"Tehitos," He responded.
"Mister Tehitos, thank you for your support too," She said th he smiled.
"There is no need to thank me, kid; now go eat and rest; and if you need a bath, our young master fetched water from the nearby river for you; it's in the house," He said.
"Thank you, I really do need a bath that's for sure," She replied and they laughed th she wt to the house to fresh up and have her meal.
