Ascension of the Monster Queen

After they left the kingdom, the king went to doing his duties which had multiplied for him, though he had guidance when needed and had no intention of giving up, he wanted to not only make himself stronger but wanted to strengthen the military force of his kingdom.

Almost two days had passed Nessa and the others travelling, they would have arrived at their destination much faster, but Nessa wanted the others to know where they needed to go if they ever leave and needed to return.

She didn't want them to get lost on their way. While they were on their way, Nessa explained to them how things worked back home and the type of creatures that lived with her, and how they prefer to do things.

She made sure to tell them that the others won't trust them easily and they knew that they had to earn their spot and helped the creatures trust them.

On the third day of travelling, when the sun had just risen and they had just woken up and prepared to continue on their journey which was almost nearing its end since they were not far away from the city.

Nessa was drinking a bottle of water when she noticed Isamu was looking around and seemed as though he was agitated for some reason.

Nessa approached him and tapped him on his back and he flinched before looking at her and she smiled at him.

"What's the matter?" She asked.

"I don't know, for some reason, I don't have a good feeling, I think we should get back as soon as possible," He responded and her brows furrowed.

'Could something be wrong back home?' Nessa wondered.

[Lady Nessa, Akio is trying to make a connection with you, do you want to accept it?]

"Yes," Nessa responded.

[Connection successful.] Enjoy new adventures at empire

"Lady Nessa, can you hear me?" Akio asked.

"Yeah, I can, what's the matter?" She asked as she went aside from the others.

"There are people deep in the forest, trying to harvest something, the others are busy back in the city, should I confront them? They captured a few of the goblins so that they wouldn't cause any problems for them," He said and Nessa sighed.

"So people snuck in? I see, are the ones that got captured hurt?" She asked.

"A bit, they were threatened," He responded and Nessa gnashed her teeth.

"Keep an eye on them, do not get any closer or things might not end well, I will be there soon," Nessa said before cutting the connection with Akio and looking at Isamu.

"Guys, we are leaving, Sophia and Niva, you are going with me and Isamu, the rest of you are with Terou, we have to hurry," She said as she got onto Isamu's back and the others nodded then got on as well.

"Isamu, your feelings were right, we have a bit of a situation, let's hurry," She said.

"As you wish," He replied before taking off with speed as did Terou.

The others held on tightly since they had never ridden on the creatures before and wanted to stay safe due to how fast they were moving.

"Nessa, what's wrong?" Ian asked.

"People entered the forest, selfish ones, of course, they came despite knowing how dangerous the forest is and is trying to harvest things, if they overdo it, the forest will protect itself... Killing all of them," She responded and they looked at each other and Nessa sighed.

Less than fifteen minutes later, they arrived not far from the city and Nessa patted Isamu on his shoulder and he closed his eyes, trying to find where Akio was.

"Did you find him?" She asked and he nodded, then took off within the forest and a few of the goblins that were passing by saw them.

"Lady Nessa..." One of them mumbled.

"I swear, if they badly hurt those goblins, I will not spare any of them," Nessa said.

"We are here," Isamu said and Nessa's eyes widened when she saw that two of the goblins who were still kids were badly hurt and they had three more of them with them.

"Lady Nessa," Akio said as one of the guys who was trying to harvest things from the forest lifted his sword to hurt one of the goblins.

"No, you don't!" Nessa shouted as she flung herself off of Isamu and a sword appeared in her hand, she slashed the guy's arm and blood splattered as he screamed and the others gasped as they got off of the backs of Isamu and Terou.

"Lady Nessa," One of the kids said and Nessa looked at them before turning her face in the other direction so no one would see her face.

"Who are you?" One of the guys shouted as the one whose arm, she slashed wrapped his arm up so he wouldn't lose more blood.

One of them rushed to attack Nessa with his sword glowing and Isamu used his tail and hit him into a tree while growling.

Nessa looked around to see what was going on and noticed that the trees at the part where they were, were magical ones.

'What were they trying to do here? Why would they even try to harvest things here?' She wondered as Yonja and the others looked at how beautiful the forest was.

"Hey, what do you guys think you are doing?" She asked as Akio stood beside her and growled and they began trembling in fear when they saw him.

Yonja as well as the others were a bit shocked as well.

"What are you looking for here? What was so important that you would risk coming partly deep into this forest, huh?" She asked as she glanced at them with her eyes glowing slightly blue-green.

At the same time, Riki and the others arrived and when they saw Nessa, she glanced at them, then Riki smiled at her and she smiled back.

They looked at the goblins before looking at the couple of guys there, wondering what was going on and why there were people there.

"Riki, find out why they were here, Aion and the others, help the goblins back home, their wounds need to be treated, once you finish getting your info, don't kill them, you know what to do, don't you?" She asked and a smirk appeared on Riki's face as he nodded and Akio hid her from the guys so they wouldn't see her face.
