Ascension of the Monster Queen

When Nessa finished eating, she stretched and took a deep breath before turning to face the others who had finished eating as well and were waiting patiently to hear her decision about the Orcs and other things.

Nessa knew that the Orcs couldn't return to where they came from because the same thing that happened to them could happen again, and she didn't want that because it only brought them pain, causing them to lose the ones they cared about, the ones they called family, and she knew how difficult that was, but this time she didn't make any decisions based on emotions.

"Shall we begin, Lady Nessa?" The chiefess inquired as they all emerged from beneath the tent, leaving her standing before them, and they joined the Orcs and others.

'They didn't have to leave me standing here, it feels strange,' Nessa thought.

"First and foremost, I apologize for the loved ones you lost today; I understand there is nowhere else you can go because the same thing can happen again and cause you more suffering, and this time, you might all lose yourself; your leader asked me to take care of you; I will, but not only because he asked me to; I have many more reasons, so from today on, I will accept all one hundred and twenty-five thousand of you," She said as they all gasped while staring at her.

"Eh? Are you sure?" The nephew asked and Nessa nodded.

"Yes, I am sure this is what I want and this is what needs to be done," She responded.

"Aren't you going to punish us?" He asked and her eyes narrowed while looking at him.

"I don't need to do that because I understand why you guys attacked us in the first place, but if you guys want to stay, I have a few conditions, first do you accept my offer?" Nessa inquired.

"We accept, no matter what your conditions are," He replied, and Nessa smiled.

"Good, as you can see, we're a little behind on building houses and so on right now; I know some of you may want to return to your villages, which is fine; but for those who stay, you'll need nice homes just like everyone else; will you help us build them so we can finish in less than a year?" Nessa asked, and the nephew turned to face Zilrud, who smiled then the young Orc sighed and bowed his head.

"We accept your conditions; they will benefit us as well; we will split and work both day and night to move things along faster," He responded, and Nessa sighed in relief after hearing that.

"Good, I'm glad you accepted; does anyone have any objections?" Nessa inquired as she looked around, and everyone smiled.

"No!" They shouted.

"That's good to know because I consider all of you , not just one race," She said, and they smiled because they knew that from the start.

"Now that this part is settled, it's my turn, I will become your subordinate, my lady, but we would like to continue living where we currently are, is that okay?" The chief asked as he and his son bowed their heads along with those that were with them.

"That's fine with me; you can continue living in your home; you didn't have to ask; thank you for accepting my offer," They smiled at Nessa as she responded, and the chief exhaled deeply before raising his head.

"Well, lady Nessa, you already know you have my full support," The chiefess said, and Nessa smiled as she looked at her.

"Yes, I am aware, and I am grateful." She replied as the chiefess looked at her people and sighed in relief as she saw how happy they were now that they had everything they had ever wanted, and she wanted to thank Nessa even more, and the only way to do that was to continue demonstrating that she and her kind would be useful to her, not that it mattered to Nessa, because all she wanted was to build a peaceful nation.

"Lady Nessa," Riki said and when she turned to face him, her eyes widened since he along with the others of his kind had bowed down.

"Hey… What are you doing?" She asked and a smirk appeared on his face, then he looked at her.

"We have made a decision as well," Riki responded.

"Got it, but you didn't have to bow like that," She said and Dalia chuckled.

"This time, it was necessary," Yanka replied and Nessa sighed.

"All right, what is it?" She asked.

"We will stay as well," Riki responded and her face lit up into a bright smile.

"Get up," She said then they stood up and she hugged all of them and they smiled then Riki patted her on the shoulder.

"Do you accept us officially?" Liya asked.

"Of course I do, there is no way I won't, I have fantastic plans for you guys in the future, they may be difficult tasks, but..." She responded.

"It's okay, whatever it is, I'm sure we can handle it," Dalia said as Nessa rose and exhaled deeply before returning under the tent and standing in front of them.

"Lady Nessa, don't forget about our deal," Fana said as Nessa turned to look at her and her eyes, as well as the rest of her body, began glowing bright green and blue as everyone looked at her.

"I hereby pledge my full loyalty to you, lady Nessa, the new leader of all of us and the owner of this entire land, this sacred forest, our home, the home to all monsters," She said as she approached Nessa and placed her hand on Nessa's forehead, causing a crescent marking to appear for a split second then disappearing and Nessa's body lit up bright green and Fana smiled before stepping away from her and Nessa's body lit up bright red then went back to normal.

"You are now our official leader; I wish you a great future and all the good things this world has to offer," Fana said as she and the rest of the town went on their knees before her, bowing, and Nessa gasped.
