Chapter 157: To see
"Something to help once more," She responded.
"Well, if you think it\'s something that can be used then go right ahead," Liya said, and Nessa sighed.
"Guys, please gather around," Nessa said, capturing everyone\'s attention, and they all turned to face her.
"What is it, lady Nessa?" Zilrud asked and she smiled.
"I\'ve made another decision; I\'d like to name some of you, at least those who can fight and are warriors; will you allow me to do so?" She inquired as they exchanged glances, smiled, and bowed their heads before her.
"Yes, my lady, you didn\'t have to ask permission," Zilrud\'s nephew said, and Nessa smiled.
"All right, I\'ll get something else to eat and then get started; you guys can keep working while I\'m doing that; this will take some time," She replied, and they nodded.
"You definitely got that right, this will take a while," Riki said as he approached them and Nessa glanced at him then scoffed.
"Do you think I shouldn\'t do it?" He smiled and patted her on the shoulder after she asked.
"I believe you should do it, but be careful; you cannot overdo it again, got it?" He inquired, and she chuckled.
"You sound like a big…" She responded as lowered her head and he peeked at her.
"What\'s the matter? You were about to say something but held back," He said and she smiled.
"It\'s nothing, don\'t worry about it," She replied before looking up at the sky and exhaling deeply while they looked at her and at the same time, Aion and his friends arrived with a few bags of the cocoa beans and he placed it before Nessa\'s feet.
"Will a few bags suffice?" Aion inquired, and she smiled before patting him on the shoulder.
"Yes, this is more than enough for now, thank you very much, all of you," She replied and Aion smiled.
"You are welcome, lady Nessa, is there anything else we can get you?" He asked.
"Cows, even just a few, are there any within this forest or so?" She asked.
"Yes, there are but not a lot of them, they are just in a field nearby," He responded.
"I want milk, just to try something new, something that can probably bring in income," She said as they looked at her and Liya smiled before picking the bags of cocoa beans up and Nessa looked at her as she smiled.
"Want us to make them into powder as well?" She asked.
"Not all, just a bag," She responded.
"All right," Liya said.
"Think you can get me milk for me?" She asked and Aion chuckled.
"Sure we can, we know to do stuff, pretty sure we stole milk before," Aion responded with a grin and Nessa chuckled.
[Master, people are approaching the town, specifically the king of the dwarves kingdom.]
"I see, guys lookout," Nessa said as she turned and saw the Pegasus\'s landing as well as a few chariots, and Nessa sighed before transforming into her fox form, and Riki lifted her up in his arms and she looked at him, and he smiled as the king and his men entered the town, and the Orcs and others gathered beside Riki and the others as they approached the king and his men.
"Your highness," Youthim said as he and his brothers bowed their heads before the king, who sighed after looking at them.
"There\'s no need to bow your heads; you left us to come here, huh?" The king asked, his eyes narrowing as he looked at Nessa.
"Are you the leader?" He asked and Nessa looked up at Riki then nodded and she jumped out of his arm and grew in size and the king scoffed as she stared at him.
"So you\'re a monster fox, leading a monster nation, this just keeps getting better and better, I came here to see if you\'re worthy to be my alley and worthy of this land or not," He said as she felt someone touch her, then turned to see Youthim, who smiled at her.
"What is it?" She asked in a manly tone while the king kept on staring at her.
"He is not a bad person; show him who you truly are; you are our leader; we will not question your decisions; this is merely a suggestion," He responded, and she sighed before returning her gaze to the king and exhaling deeply before her body began glowing gold and she transformed into her true form, and the king gasped and immediately pointed his sword at her, and Riki was about to move, but Nessa looked back at him and smiled, and he sighed and stayed put.
"I suggest you lower your sword, your highness; you don\'t want to anger them," Nessa advised.
"Did you kill a human and then take her form?" When the king asked, they all burst out laughing, and Nessa chuckled as the king\'s eyes narrowed, wondering why they were laughing.
"I didn\'t kill anyone or take their form; the only person I\'ve killed so far is a bad guy; please lower your sword and listen, your highness," She responded.
"Your highness, please lower your sword and listen to what she has to say; you cannot do as you please here; they respected your home; now it is your turn," The general said to the king, who sighed and he took the sword from his grasp then the king turned to look at Nessa and her people.
"Fine, I\'ll listen to everything you have to say for yourself, at first I didn\'t want to believe a nation like this was actually being built but then you cleared all of my doubts about that when you showed yourself infront of us; tell me, fox, who are you?" He asked, staring her down, and Nessa smirked, knowing he wasn\'t afraid of her or anyone else there, and she knew why; after all, he was a king who most admired for his bravery.
