Ascension of the Monster Queen

"It's time for me to leave, thank you, Liya and thank you Riki, for agreeing to take care of this place, I know that you guys will protect everyone as well as each other," She said and Riki patted her on the shoulder then she smiled.

"You better take care lady Nessa, I really don't think you should go, but we know that you are also doing what's best for us, no matter what you always do that, be careful and do no let anyone fool you or so on, I am sorry," Liya said and Nessa chuckled then patted her on the head.

"It's okay, Liya, I know that you are just worried and I really appreciate it, but I want you guys to focus on yourselves as well and be careful, got it?" She asked.

"Got it," Liya responded as everyone gathered before them then bowed their heads and Nessa jumped, but Dalia grabbed onto her hand, then she sighed since she was still not used to that.

"You are going to get used to it sooner or later, lady Nessa, I wish you all the best on your trip," Yanka said and Nessa smiled at him before looking at the others and sighing.

"Now I would like for you to please tell us who you are taking with you on this trip of yours, can you?" Zilrud asked and Nessa sighed as she looked at Isamu and Akio as they approached her then a smile appeared on her face.

"Now Akio, I am doing as you asked, are you sure this is what you want?" Nessa asked and Akio nodded, then Nessa turned to Isamu, who bowed his head.

"I will be taking Isamu on this trip with me," She said and his eyes widened as he looked at her and she smirked.

"Akio, aren't you the one going?" Isamu asked and Akio exhaled deeply.

"No, I went once and I spent a lot of time with lady Nessa, now it's your turn, do you accept or not?" Akio asked and Isamu looked at Nessa as her eyes narrowed then he sighed.

"I have no reason to refuse lady Nessa, but I am asking if you don't want to go?" Isamu asked.

"One of us needs to stay here in case anything, I am fine with staying back, go on, it's totally okay with me," Akio responded and Isamu looked at Nessa then approached her and bowed his head.

"I will protect you and I won't get in your way, I promise, you don't have to worry," He said and she patted him on his head.

"You just worry too much about certain things; I have my own abilities to protect myself; I don't have them to waste time; I look forward to spending time with you," She replied.

"Likewise, lady Nessa," He said as she sighed and slung her bag over her shoulder.

"Well, we should probably get going now; I would have left earlier but..." Nessa said and they smiled at her

"Goodbye, lady Nessa," Liya said as she walked away, waving at Nessa, and Nessa waved back at everyone who bowed their heads as she and Isamu left town on their way to a new kingdom, one not known to them.

"Do you guys think she will be okay out there?" Liya asked and they looked at her.

"I for one, thinks that she will be just fine, those who underestimates her will be making one of the biggest mistakes of their lives, it's not good to get her on her nerves, from what happened yesterday, I can tell what an intimidating aura she has," Riki responded.

"She is strong, I agree with Riki on this, I think she will be just fine, besides Isamu is with her, we shouldn't be worrying like this, she doesn't want us to worry," Dalia said with a smile and Liya sighed as Akio approached her and tapped her on her feet and she glanced at him.

"What's the matter, Akio? Did you want to go?" She asked and he sighed.

"No, I didn't want to go, but I want to assure all of you that Isamu is stronger than he looks and no matter what happens, he will not go back on his words and he will always protect lady Nessa, they are both in good care and lady Nessa will not let anyone harm her either way, she is strong and they will protect each other even though they don't know much about the place where they are going, I can say with certainty that they will be just fine," Akio responded then Liya patted him on the head with a sigh of relief.

Liya and the others understood what Akio was saying and believed that Nessa would be since they wanted to believe in her more just like she does in them.

Since Riki was assigned to take care of the town until Nessa returns, he began doing his job and he was not being tyrannical, he did everything just like Nessa would and everyone listened to him and didn't give him a hard time about anything.

They did their usual every day, the ones that were assigned to them and they hoped to finish Nessa's home before she got back from her trip.

"Riki, we have got a message," Liya said as a bird flew in and sat on Nessa's chair with a message wrapped around its feet, and when Riki took it the bird flew off, then he read it and a smile appeared on his face while the others looked at him, wondering what the message had said.

"If lady Nessa had waited a bit longer today to leave, she would have gotten this," He said.

"Gotten what?" Dalia asked.

'The first batch of the milk was sold out, they would like us to send two batches this time, the king will be sending bottles for us along with the money he got for them, he also said that even he loved the taste of it and kids loved it as well," He responded and Liya jumped up, happily.

"We will get to making," She said then she and Vill began making the second set immediately.
