BXBX NOVEL Chapter 97: Convinced
"I will give you the reasons why you can\'t, you are not strong enough, they have powers you don\'t and you are outnumbered, you will lose no matter how much of a fight you put up, but I won\'t lose," She said as his eyes trembled while staring at Nessa and saw nothing but a true desire and confidence.
"See, not only do I have those with powers that are powerful, I can fight myself and guarantee a win, I have the now evolved ogres by my side, goblins, foxes whose leader has powers along with my wolves, him, he has powers as well, there is so way, I will lose and let them take what I am building," Nessa said as she passed her hand over Akio\'s head and the woman smiled while nodding.
"Is this correct?" Her husband asked, and she turned to face him.
"Yes, it is more than true; we have not been living a great life; she has offered us a good life within her home in exchange for our loyalty; she wants to be our leader, and I believe this is for the best; I don\'t want my child to grow up like this, and we can\'t afford to lose," He lowered his head after she responded before looking at Nessa, who smiled at him.
"You are young, but you understand how these things work, and you are determined; you gained the trust of creatures who will rarely trust anyone, which only someone worthy can gain," He said.
"My town will always be in danger from those who want this land; I assure you that you will all have a better life; all I ask is that if anything happens, you help defend the town; and because there are so many of you, we need a lot more houses, we are going to expand more; I want you to help build them; we need the hands, of course, only if you accept." He smiled and bowed his head, and everyone else, including the woman and her child, followed him.
"I now pledge my full loyalty to you and only you, our new leader, we will also help build our future home, no offer could be better for us than this one," He said as the sun began to set, and she smiled. Find joy at m,v,l,e,mpy,r.
"Raise your heads," She replied, then he raised up and she smiled.
"I am glad, you will not regret this decision, also I intend to take all of the lands that don\'t have anyone living on them and I will form alliances with those who are willing to, I am going to build a nation, one only dreamed about, I don\'t care what race we have, as long as we are happy and I won\'t let anyone stop me from doing so," She said as his eyes shook along with the woman\'s then they smiled, feeling relieved to hear that.
"We look forward to working with you, my lady," They said.
"Same here, let\'s build a wonderful place together," She replied with a grin and they smiled brightly with their eyes filled with hopes once more.
"Lady Nessa, it\'s getting late; should we leave now or in the morning?" Nessa sighed after the woman asked.
"Well, I didn\'t expect to persuade you guys so quickly, so I guess it\'s best if we leave in the morning," She responded and the woman chuckled.
"Lady Nessa, I know it won\'t take much convincing, we don\'t trust people easily, but you are an exception, you gained the trust of really stubborn creatures and you are honest, you are the only person who I think is suited to be the leader of a nation like the one we all want to see, it doesn\'t matter if you think you are being selfish, others will gain from it as well, other would have just used us," The woman said and Nessa smiled.
"I don\'t know you that well, but your eyes are more than convincing," her husband added. "I believe the same as my wife, it doesn\'t matter if it\'s a selfish action."
"Thank you, I will build the trust between us as time goes by, I have a lot to take care of, I will see my nation complete, our dreams," She replied and they smiled.
"We\'re looking forward to seeing that as well, lady Nessa, so we\'ll leave until the morning?" The woman\'s husband asked.
"Yes, you guys can start packing what you need to carry, the others back in town will be preparing for your arrival, is it okay for you to stay in really comfortable tents until the houses are finished?" She inquired, and they smiled, then nodded, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Good, I am glad I got this over with, I am afraid I would have had to wait a while," She said and they laughed.
"Get some rest, my lady, we will get you something to eat," The guy replied.
"Thank you, but there is no need for that, I am not hungry, I will just get some sleep, then we will leave in the morning," She said.
"As you wish," He replied with a smile before turning away and looking up at the night sky, tears welling up in his eyes, while his wife looked at him and patted him on the shoulder.
"Are you all right?" He gave her a sidelong glance before patting her on the head.
"We will finally be able to provide a good life for him; thank you for accepting her offer and bringing her here; I am extremely happy." He responded, and they hugged, and Nessa smiled while looking at them before feeding Akio and eating a snack because she was hungry.
"You did it again," Lady Nessa," Akio said and she smiled and then patted him on the head before looking up at the night sky before exhaling deeply.
