Ascension of the Monster Queen

"Lady Nessa, dinner is ready," Liya said as she brought out the food and placed it on the table, and Nessa smiled as she looked at her.

"Thank you, Liya," She replied as she sniffed in the nice aroma coming from the food and she sighed then Liya chuckled before she sat down then Riki and Yanka joined them and Nessa looked at Riki who smiled at her.

"Did you overdo it again?" Riki asked.

"No, I didn't overdo it," She responded and he scoffed, then they took their food and began eating when Nessa remembered the milk and the cocoa powder.

"How did the milk and cocoa powder turn out, Liya?" Nessa inquired, and Liya smiled before getting up and bringing her a glass of the now filtered milk, which she saw was fresh and the cocoa powder was already ready, and she smiled.

"This looks exactly the way it should, thank you," Nessa said, and Liya smiled before taking it back. When she returned, she sat down and pondered what Nessa planned to do with the milk and powder.

"What are you going to do with these, Lady Nessa?" Liya inquired as Nessa ate, and she sighed and smiled before turning to face Liya.

"I'm going to make chocolate milk with cocoa powder, there are different ways to do it and I know them, the things we need are selling and so on, there's no need to worry about that, and I also know to make a few different types of chocolate, that will sell due to the taste, sometimes we'll use unsweetened cocoa powder or sweetened, got it?" Nessa asked.

"Yes, I got most of it; could you please allow the kitchen crew to assist?" Liya inquired.

"Yes, I will need you to know the all of the recipes because the kitchen is your department; when I am away, you will know how to make it; we will start with one batch each and only if it sells out will we make more, depending on demand," She replied, and Liya and the others smiled.

"Got it, don't worry, I promise I'll handle it well," Liya said, and Nessa smiled.

"I'm sure you will; that's why you're in charge of the kitchen," Nessa replied.

"Well, I have to say that these are really good ideas, people love trying new things and you won't only attract other beings but even the normal humans, you really know a lot of great ways to make money, don't you?" Riki asked, and Nessa smirked.

"Yeah I know it's going to attact different types and I know what sells; as I previously stated, I am going to use my previous life to help us grow; when I am finished, everyone will know about us; I don't mind; I am going to make this the best nation ever built," She responded, and his eyes widened as he stared into her eyes, then he smiled and lowered his head, and Dalia and Liya turned to him and a smirk appeared on his face.

"Then we will do whatever we can to help, but we need to get stronger because it would seem that we are are getting those who wants this place on their nerves," He said.

"You're right, we're going to make a lot of enemies," Dalia added, as Nessa sighed.

"Yeah, I know we will, that's why Riki is right, we have to get stronger regardless, as your leader I am supposed to be strong enough to protect you," Nessa replied, and they smiled at her.

[Master, don't doubt your strength; you are strong enough to protect them; you are likely to be the strongest within your nation with enough practice of mastering or simply understanding your skills; and I will be here to guide you through it; it is the reason I exist within your life, to make you powerful.]

Nessa smiled, relieved to hear what her system had to say.

"Lady Nessa, we believe you will be more than strong enough to protect your home, we do not doubt you, we never will, but if you want, we will help you get to being more powerful than you already are, which I know you are based on what I have seen so far," Yanka said, and they looked at him before he smiled.

"Well, if he says that, you know it's true," Riki added, and Nessa sighed and was about to bow her head when she noticed Dalia staring her down and she exhaled deeply.

"There's nothing wrong with bending your head for the right reasons every now and then," She said, to which Yanka nodded and Dalia smiled.

"I know," Dalia replied.

"Well, I am thankful to have you guys supporting me, this means more than you know and I am happy about it, I will give you that dream home, very soon," She said and they smiled at her then Liya patted her on the shoulder.

"Give yourself a break first, it's almost year end, and it has not been a full year since you started building, you are doing great at this pace, lady Nessa, am I right?" Liya asked.

"She is right," Urul responded as he approached them and Nessa glanced at him then he smiled at her and bowed his head.

"Nice name," Riki said and Urul smiled.

"Thanks, lady Nessa said she based our names on our personalities," He replied.

"Urul, that part strong and kind hearted right? The meaning?" Riki asked.

"Yes, that's the meaning, after all, he went through a lot," Nessa responded and they smiled.

"Do you want to sit with us and have dinner?" Nessa asked.

"No, thank you for offering though, we just had dinner, also lady Nessa, I wanted to thank you," He responded.

"You thanked me earlier, Urul, you don't have to do that again, please don't," She said with a gentle smile as he stared at her then lowered his head and he was about to go on his knees, but at the very same time she got up and grabbed onto his arm and the others smiled as Urul looked up at her then she sighed and pulled out a chair then placed him to sit as the others looked on and at the same time, Zilrud was passing by and saw him with Nessa and Zilrud.
