Ascension of the Monster Queen

Fana tapped Nessa on her shoulder and Nessa glanced at her then she smiled, she knew Fana wanted to know what she was thinking, but at the same time, she wondered whether she should tell them or handle the matter by herself.

Nessa lowered her head, thinking about what should be done, Riki and the others looked at each other before returning their attention to her and Nessa exhaled deeply before sighing and looking up at the night sky.

At that moment, despite knowing how dangerous it could be, she decided that she should let them know since that was their home as well and they needed to be more careful.

"Lady Nessa," Fana said.

"Fana, if they manage to get the magical energy from these trees using the roots, it will cause a lot of destruction to normal people, especially, if they get a weapon, it won't end well, these trees are no threat to use but if others gain anything from them, it will become one," She replied and Fana's eyes shook.

Fana and the others looked at the trees and Nessa rubbed the tree with her hand, then sighed, Fana glanced at her then tapped her on her shoulder and she looked back at her.

"What do you plan on doing with them? Do you want us to get rid of them?" Fana asked and Nessa looked around her, knowing that a lot of trees were magical, but she had to come to a decision.

"If that's what you want then we can do it right away, we know you have to make a decision lady Nessa, you are only trying to do what's best for everyone here and elsewhere," Fana said and Nessa looked at her and the dryad smiled at her.

"Lady Nessa, it's okay if that's the decision you came to," Liya said and Nessa clenched her right fist.

"No, l will give you guys an answer by tomorrow night, I need to think about this for a while, we cannot make a rash decision when it comes to this, give me a bit of time, can you all do that?" She asked and they smiled at her before bowing their heads.

"Yeah," They responded and Fana smiled at her, she was pleased that Nessa was considering other options and even if she decided that getting rid of the trees would be best, Fana wouldn't be angry since she knew that Nessa was only trying to protect everyone and do what's best.

"All right, everyone go on home and get some rest," Nessa said and they bowed before greeting her good night and they all walked out of the woods together.

After they returned to the city, Nessa looked at Yonja and the others who seemed tired and she smiled at them.

"You guys can have dinner with me then go home, come on," She said and they smiled at her and then followed her to her mansion, after entering the smiled brightly at how beautiful it was. Continue reading stories on empire

"This place is amazing, they built it?" Ian asked.

"Yeah, they placed a lot of work into it, to be honest, I didn't expect they were going to build something like this, they took advantage of the time I was gone and used it to build, I am happy though," She responded and Ian smiled.

"This is just their way of proving how much they appreciate everything that you have done for them, they really do love you, lady Nessa," Ian said and she nodded, then took them to the kitchen, where she saw that Liya was already there as well as the others.

"What are you guys doing here? Also, you got here fast," Nessa said and Dalia chuckled.

"I cooked a lot of different food earlier and we all wanted one thing, we came here pretty fast to get everything ready, let's all eat together tonight, lady Nessa," Liya responded and Nessa left staring at them as they smiled at her.

She sighed, then looked at them "Okay," She said and they all went to the dining hall, then Riki and the others helped in bringing out the food and once they were finished.

Everyone sat down by the table and began eating their dinner while talking about various things, including some of their plans for the future.

Nessa was pleased to see that they were all happy and Yonja and the others were getting along well with them, it turned out they had many things in common.

At first, she had thought, maybe they would have a hard time, but they were all adjusting at a fast rate and she hoped that she would be able to keep the peace in the nation since she didn't want their lives to be uprooted once again. Especially now that word about them was spreading like wildfire in the world.

Later that night, when they all finished eating, Nessa looked at them before they could leave and they smiled at her.

"Thank you all for having dinner with me tonight," She said and they grinned, then Riki patted her on her shoulder.

"You are welcome, we all have to be here for each other," He replied and she smiled.

"True, well, I wish you guys, good night, sleep well," She said.

"Good night," They replied before leaving, Nessa locked the front door to the mansion, then she went through the back door and sat down on the swing which they built for her near the garden and the pavilion, she got a perfect view of everything around her.

She was not sleepy at the time and all she wanted to do was relax while looking up at the night sky, as well as come up with a decision as to what she needed to do when the trees were concerned, knowing how dangerous it would be if its powers get into the wrong hands.

"Damn, why do evil people even exist?" She mumbled when she felt a hand around her waist and someone's breath on her neck.

"There will always be evil no matter what," Someone whispered in her ears and her eyes widened as she recognized the voice, then she jumped up from the swing and turned around.

She gasped when she saw that it was the same guy who she danced with and the one that appeared in her room when she was back in the kingdom.

"You..." She mumbled.

"It's been a while, my lady," He said in a stern tone with a smirk on his face.
