Ascension of the Monster Queen

They all knew what Yanka had told them was true, and they all wanted to get stronger to protect her, even Riki and his kind, despite not knowing whether they would stay or not.

"I will take her home now," Riki said and they smiled then he took her to her house and gently placed her on her bed before locking up her house properly and leaving.

Nessa slept peacefully that night, free of nightmares, and her body aches subsided as well.

When she awoke the next morning, she stretched and yawned before getting out of bed and looking in the mirror, then jumped at how her hair looked and sighed before going to the bathroom to freshen up and go about her normal morning routine.

Nessa dressed and went to the kitchen, where she grabbed a banana to eat before starting to make her breakfast, which was pancakes since she had the ingredients and felt like making them.

When she finished making breakfast, she remembered having coffee in the morning, and an idea struck her, and she smiled.

'I am going to have coffee as well, I am sure they will enjoy it,' Ness thought before stretching off and having her breakfast after which she left the house.

"Lady Nessa, good morning," The citizens said as she passed by and smiled at them.

"Good morning," She replied as she noticed Vill's kid playing with the other kids and she chuckled.

"They are so cute, I am glad he is fitting in well, his mother anf father will be happy to see him like that," She said with a bright smile as someone bumped into her, when she turned around, she saw it was Liya and she grabbed onto her before she could fall.

"Are you okay?" Nessa asked and Liya looked up at her and then sighed before smiling.

"Thank you, and please accept my apologies," Liya said, and Nessa chuckled before patting her on the head.

"It's fine, Liya, it was just a simple accident, good morning," She replied.

"Good morning, lady Nessa," She said.

"Now, why are you in a rush so early?" Nessa asked.

"I woke up pretty late, I don't like being late, so I guess..." She responded and Nessa smiled.

"Relax, Liya, it's okay to wake up late every once in a while, there is nothing wrong with that at all," She said and Liya sighed then smiled.

"Thanks, let's go meet the others, pretty sure most of them have started working already," Liya replied and Nessa sighed.

"I'm fairly certain of that as well, so let's go meet the early birds," She went to the tent to meet the others and saw that they had already begun working, and Nessa smiled at them.

"Good morning guys," She said.

"Good morning," They replied.

"Thank you for taking care of me last night as well, taking me home," Nessa said.

"I will get payback, this is my second time, but you are welcome lady Nessa," Riki replied and she glanced at him as he smiled at her.

"So you are the one that took me home, Riki?" She asked and he nodded then she smiled.

"Thanks again," She added.

"You are welcome, once again, lady Nessa," He said and she smiled.

"You were really tired last night, that's why we didn't wake you up, lady Nessa, you deserved your rest, you have been working a little too hard if we're being honest here," Dalia added, and Nessa smiled.

"Thanks guys," She said and they smiled.

"There is no need to thank us, you are more than welcome, we are just glad to see that you are doing just fine, that's more than enough for us," Liya replied and Yanka approached them.

"Good morning, lady Nessa," He said.

"Good morning Yanka, are you ready to train me?" She asked and he smiled then nodded and she sighed before looking at Youthim and the others.

'I will be right back, excuse me," She said.

"Sure," They replied as she rushed off to Youthim and the others.

"Good morning, lady Nessa," They said as they looked at her.

"Good morning guys, before I get to training, I wanted to check in on things, run me through it, I am all ears," She replied, and they smiled before going over everything with Nessa, which she paid close attention to and fully understood.

After some deliberation, Nessa decided to assist them with a few tasks, while Yanka trained with the goblins, who he felt needed a lot more practice.

Later that day, after finishing her part of the work, Nessa went to the river and saw Aion and the others panting while looking at Yanka, then they rushed towards him, but he moved so fast that even Nessa barely saw him, and he hit the young ones onto the ground, and they sighed before laying like a bunch of dead on the ground.

"I am calling it quits for today, you are going to break my young bones, I cannot let that happen, you are mean at times, master, go easy on us as well, just once, let us hit you," Aion said with a smirk and Yanka chuckled as Nessa smiled at them.

"All right, I'll go easy on you guys, get up, come on, on your feet, now," Yanka replied as Nessa sat down on a huge rock and they smiled and bowed their heads at her.

"Lady Nessa," They said.

"Hello, go on, continue your training, I want to see as well," Nessa replied and they smiled nervously before looking at Yanka who chuckled.

"You're going to enjoy this, my lady, they want things to be a little easier today, so I'm going to go as easy on them as I can," Yanka said, and Nessa sighed.

'What does this old man intend to do?' Nessa wondered as he pointed his sword at them and they looked at him.

"My lady, I feel like he is up to something, this old man is very dangerous, you know that already though, if we don't be careful, he will move faster than a snake and bite you when you least expect it," Aion mumbled and Nessa chuckled before looking at Yanka and sighed.
