Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 317 An offer



A while after, when Nessa finished telling the king and queen what they needed to know, they left staring at her, not knowing what else to say and couldn't even think of the right words to use but yet, they understood everything and knew that they could trust her.

The king and queen looked at each other before glancing at Nessa and she smiled at them. Riki and the others smiled, then Nessa stretched off and she looked at the water as it began shimmering.

"Wow, that's the light that has been reflecting in the sky almost every night, which we have been seeing, it's pretty," Nessa said and the king and queen smiled at her.

"Yes, it is pretty, almost everything here is magical and we try out best to maintain it, well, it's all yours as well, now, knowing that the dryads as well have accepted you, I guess we have to right to stop you from doing anything," The king said.

Nessa stood up and stretched off, then a blossom tree as well as a few others began shimmering and she turned around to look at them and then sighed when she saw how beautiful they looked.

"Lady Nessa," Riki said and she looked back at them, then exhaled deeply, allowing the fresh air to blow against her face.

"Tell me, how exactly do you guys live?" Nessa asked.

"The caves and within the big and sturdy rocks there are other small rooms, we also live in the water and one more thing that connects those tall rocks, there aren't more than two hundred of us, we don't need much so, we built a few small things," The king responded before standing up and Nessa glanced at him.

His body glowed blue and the tall rocks began shimmering, the people smiled as their homes were shown and Nessa chuckled when she saw it.

"Well, well, this is creative," Nessa said as she saw there were small and cute houses in a row alongside each of the rocks, some even touched the water and some were on top of the rock, they were all in a straight line and none were taking up much space on the water or the land.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"I have to say, you guys did a nice job and since there aren't that many of you guys, you didn't need to build too many houses, this is nice," Nessa added and the king and queen smiled at her.

"Thank you, we didn't want to spoil the view of the beach so the houses are only on one side, the beach is a private area," The queen said and Nessa chuckled.

"So, what do you plan on doing now that you have seen all of this?" The king asked and Nessa looked at him, then at his people and she smiled when she saw a child holding onto the king's feet and he lifted him up in his arms.

"I have an offer for you," She said and the king glanced at her, curious to know what her offer may be.

"What are you offering us? I mean this is all yours, we have nothing to give you," The king replied and Nessa smiled.

"I am not going to take your home from you, but I can support you, from what I told you guys just now, you know that our land can be constantly in danger by greedy eyes, I don't know if you will all be able to handle that, so join hands with me, let's for an alliance, an agreement, how about that?" She asked and the king and queen left staring at her before looking at each other.

"An alliance? That's all that you want from us?" The queen asked as their people looked on.

"Yes, that's all, I want permission for my people to also come here whenever they feel like it, I want them to experience these kinds of things," She responded and the queen smiled at her.

"Are you sure that this is what you want?" The king asked.

"Yes, would you guys have a problem being my subordinates? Just so you know, it's okay if you refuse, I won't do anything to you, I promise," She responded and the king smiled at her.

"No, we don't have a problem with being your subordinates, after hearing what you told us and what you have accomplished, we know enough to know you can be trusted, seeing how many might have their faith in you as well, even the land accepted you, you are the master of everything here, we have no reason to refuse," The king said.

"We accept your offer, lady Nessa," Both of them said and their people bowed their heads to Nessa and she glanced at them and the king and queen were going to go on their knees as well, but she grabbed onto both of their arms and they looked at her.

"Please don't do that, don't forget, you are still the king and queen of your people, don't go on your knees, we are friends now," She said and they smiled at her then the king placed the kid down then shook her hand.

Riki and the others smiled while clapping for them as did the people of the king and queen.

"Congratulations!" They shouted and the king and queen laughed and Nessa chuckled before glancing at Riki and the others.

"It's going to be midnight in a few hours, aren't you guys hungry?" She asked and they showed her the snacks they had which they were eating and her brows furrowed.

Nessa held onto her stomach as it rumbled and Dalia peeked at her and she sighed then they all laughed and she scoffed.

"Catch," Yonja said as he threw her a snack, she caught it then thanked him and he grinned.

"It's getting pretty late for all of us, we still have a lot of things to discuss but can't expect to do it all in one go, can we continue this tomorrow within the city? I can come for you guys, is that okay?" Nessa asked and the king and queen smiled at her.

"Yeah, that would be nice, we need to get to know more about each other, it's what will lead to a good and strong alliance, we also want to see what your city is like, we will see you all tomorrow, please take care, and good night," The king said.

"Good night," Nessa replied then they bowed their heads and Nessa left with the others. Read new adventures at empire

"Thank you..." Both the king and queen said with gentle smiles on their faces when they saw the lights reflected on her before she left.
