Ascension of the Monster Queen

"What!" They exclaimed, and Nessa chuckled.

They were all more than just surprised since they never thought that she would be the leader of a nation like that, they didn't know what to say after hearing her answer.

"Yes, I am the leader of a few thousand for now," She responded and the king swallowed as he got up and approached her.

Nessa glanced at him, then he sighed and looked at her, she knew that he wanted an explanation since he seemed a bit lost.

"Can you elaborate a bit more on this?" He asked and she smiled then patted him on the shoulder.

"Sure, sit down and you guys can ask me, however many questions you want to," She responded.

The king smiled, then sat back down with the others and they looked at each other, wondering what to ask her. Nessa also wanted to clear up whatever confusion they had.

"How did you become the leader of that nation?" Niva asked and Nessa glanced at her.

"Because I built it from scratch," She responded and they gasped.

"You are serious?" Cortan asked and Nessa nodded.

"That's amazing, these days not anyone can just start building a kingdom from scratch, especially one like yours," Ian said and Sophia nodded.

"So the leader is no monstrous fox?" The king asked and Nessa chuckled.

"Yes, that's another form of mine, one gifted to me, I let people believe that a monster rule the nation, no one knows it's a young girl and I would like to keep it that way, keep the world misinformed," She responded as the king stared at her.

"Why would you want that?" Sophia asked and Nessa sighed.

"Because this world is a dangerous place, one where darkness doesn't take long to thrive, I will do what I need to protect my nation, the ones that live within it and since no one knows that I am the leader, it gives me a better chance to see a lot of things," She responded and the king lowered his head before smiling.

"I see, you are different from most leaders, you don't only put them first, you get your freedom as well, you formed alliances right?" He asked and she looked at him.

"Yes, with kingdoms that can support my nation in many more ways than one, one of them has great military strength," She responded and he smiled brightly.

"Then what do you want me to give you?" He asked with hope brimming in his eyes and she left staring at him.

"Why do you look so hopeful?" She asked and he grinned.

"Because, as the king, it is my duty to protect my kingdom as well, no better way than forming alliances with nations strong enough to back you up no matter what happens," He responded and she chuckled.

"Doing what you think is best, nice, well let me ask you this, despite my nation being one with monsters, despite what your other allied friends say, will you form an alliance with me and if I ever need your help, no matter what, will you help?" She asked.

He looked at her as well as the others and a smile appeared on Nessa's face as her eyes narrowed, the king stood up and approached her while the others looked on.

"I humbly accept those terms, this is something that I can give you after all that you have done to help us, it's within my power," He responded and she chuckled as the others smiled and they shook hands.

Isamu and Terou appeared beside Nessa, Isamu roared and Nessa chuckled, then patted him on the head.

"Nessa, if you were to average the strength of your military might right about now, what will it be?" The king asked and she looked at him.

"Stronger than the dwarf king's kingdom, this and the next kingdom I formed an alliance with, you three combined, and probably a bit more will still be no match for us," She responded and the king's eyes shook as the others looked at each other.

"Woah, then I am happy it was an alliance you wanted to form with us, I don't want to be your enemy, that's for sure," The king said and Nessa patted him on the shoulder.

"Relax, no one becomes my enemy that easily, you are now king, you have other things to worry about, first you need to master your abilities, you are strong and so are the knights, you can make your army stronger, that would be good," She replied and he smiled at her.

"Thank you, Nessa," He said.

"There is no need to thank me, you guys are great friends, even if you didn't agree to an alliance, I would still help you guys," She replied and he smiled brightly.

Stay tuned with empire

"That's good to know, I really appreciate it, Nessa, don't worry, we will keep it as the leader is a fox, we won't tell anyone that this is your real form, right guys?" The king asked and the others smiled.

"Yes," They responded and Nessa smiled.

"That's good to know as well, I am glad to hear that, now I will be waiting for you guys to answer my offer, don't be nervous, remember that you are free to do whatever you want, no hard feelings," She said and they smiled at her.

"We decided what we want to do already," Yonja replied.

"Okay, when do you guys plan on telling me what you decided?" She asked.

"How about tomorrow morning?" Yonja asked and Nessa chuckled.

"That's fine with me, my work here is done, I have to get going tomorrow afternoon," She responded and the king exhaled deeply before wrapping his arm around Nessa's shoulder.

"Then for now, to celebrate both me getting the crown and our alliance, shall we return to the party?" The king asked and the others smiled at him then Nessa patted him on the shoulder.

"Sure, let's go back because now I am starting to get really hungry," Nessa responded and the king burst out laughing as well as the others.

"All right, let's go," He said then they left the living room and headed back to the throne room.
