Ascension of the Monster Queen

Nessa sighed and looked at the Lizardmen of both types as she ate.

"I will start by saying that, you don't have to become my subordinates in order for me to help you guys, it's an option, you all have a choice and you are free to make your own decisions, I really don't mind," Nessa said as they looked at her then the chief sighed.

"Tell me, we don't have to move within this town to live in order to be your subordinates right?" He asked.

"No, of course not, either way, I will be able to support you guys," She responded and they smiled.

"That's good to know; tell me, what compelled a young girl like yourself to take such a risk?" He asked and she looked at him.

"Life but it's also a desire, I felt things were not right here, others looked down on you guys, misjudged you despite living among humans, you had nowhere you belonged nor did I, I wanted a place to live in where everyone is free, where you can belong, live in peace, smile more than you cry, never have to worry about being kicked out of your home, looked down on, a place where everyone can be happy, despite the races and cultures," She responded as he stared at her.

"Those things usually only exist in dreams..." He said as he looked around at the different creatures within the town and they smiled at him.

"Do you really think this place will stand?" He asked and Nessa smiled at him.

"Of course it will, I will make sure it does, even if it starts burning, I will put out the fire, I will destroy those who plan to destroy my home for their selfish needs, I will claim everything within this land," She responded, and he lowered his head, his right hand trembling, and the chiefess smiled at him.

"You won't find anyone with the guts to start building a nation within the land that many want to claim, she is more than serious, and I want to see a dreamland like that stand, a place where all kinds can live, it's what most of us want, don't we?" When the chiefess asked, he looked at her and sighed.

"I know we all have that dream, but you're so young, you could have done so many different things; aren't you afraid of losing your life because of this?" When he asked, Neesa lowered her head, looked around, and smiled slightly.

"Most people are afraid of death, but I am not so sure if I am," She responded as his eyes widened and she smiled while the others looked at her then he exhaled deeply before pouring himself a glass of juice and drinking it.

"May I ask you a question?" He inquired.

"Certainly," She replied.

"Could you please give me until after we have dealt with our current situation to think about this?" Will you still assist us?" He asked while lowering his head as his son stared at him and then smiled.

"Please help my father, I know I'm an idiot, but I don't want my people to die," His strange son said, and Nessa smiled.

"You can think about it until then, I will still help you guys, you have my word," She replied and they smiled brightly and then bowed their heads.

They said, "Thank you," and she sighed.

"Please raise your head, there is no need to bow like that, you are welcome," She replied as everyone smiled, then she turned to look at the chiefess who looked back at her guards and they smiled at her then she sighed.

"What is your decision? Do you need time as well? If you do, you can take it, I don't mind waiting because I know these decisions cannot be made just like that especially when you are a leader," Nessa said and the chiefess chuckled.

"You are a fascinating person, lady Nessa; even after this, my response will be the same; this is a risk that I am willing to take for the sake of my people and their future, therefore.." She replied as they stared at her and she looked at them.

"Therefore?" Dalia inquired.

"As a result, I look forward to working with you in the future, and I accept your offer to become one of your subordinates; I had enough time to consider it." They all smiled brightly as the chiefess and Nessa stood up and shook hands then the others began clapping.

"I look forward to working with you as well," Nessa said and the chiefess smiled brightly.

"Thank you for this opportunity; not many people are as generous as you," Nessa smiled as the chiefess spoke.

"You are welcome, I am just trying my best, I once had nowhere as well," She replied and Dalia along with the others smiled at her.

They bowed their heads and smiled as they said, "Congratulations."

"Thank you very much," Nessa said.

"Lady Nessa, may I speak to you privately, please?" When the chiefess asked, Nessa went with her to a corner.

"What's the matter?" She asked.

"Can my people come here and live?" We will assist in any way we can; we can live in both warm and cold temperatures, as well, besides snow falls here, so we have nothing to worry about." She said as Nessa looked at her and she lowered her head.

"It's okay to refuse if it's too much," She said and Nessa chuckled then patted her on the shoulder.

"You're worrying a little too much, it's fine, go and bring your people, we have a few more houses and we're still building, in the future we'll only build if we need to," She replied, and the chiefess smiled.

"Are you sure?" She asked.

"Of course, I'm sure; I expected you guys to want to move, so it's fine; I'm looking forward to certain things; go and bring your people when you're ready," Nessa responded, and the chiefess hugged her while the others looked on, and Nessa patted her on the back before rising off of her with nothing but joy on her face and in her eyes.
