The Legend of the ruthless Empress Freya

-- POV Freya --

It was already late afternoon and I had just finished reviewing all my plans with Gaya. After the incident with the little wound, we had not discussed the subject, which was now closed, but I still kept the information in mind. The dragoness had not explained to me why the adventurers had been there, but I suspected that the Yarlford guild was acting to find me.

*I'll deal with that later*.

At first, I had the idea of saying hello to the humans in the small town in my wolf form to take out my anger on them because I hadn't forgotten everything I had seen there, but that was dangerous. I was now responsible for hundreds of people and I didn't want to act on a whim that could impact my new Kingdom. I needed to be methodical, but one thing was certain, I would go on the offensive if the opportunity presented itself and I was sure I wouldn't make a mistake.

[Onee-san, shouldn't you go talk to Yorr and his companions ? They must be waiting for you impatiently hehe~]

*Ara ara~ you think ? kufufu~*

Kira was right, it was now time to welcome the newcomers I had already met several weeks ago. I was still in the tent with Gaya and Shiro who obviously wanted to accompany me and we were about to go. I then turned to the two soldiers at the entrance, to give them the order to gather those I needed.

"Have one of you two get the section leaders and commanders to the location of the new arrivals. When this is done, come and tell me immediately."

"Right away !"

We had to spread them out so they could find their places as quickly as possible so as not to interfere with the others who already knew what to do. Time was not really counted anymore, but I wanted everyone to be housed and start living a peaceful life, in their own home. I also wanted the Kingdom to be built quickly so that I could marry Gaya and why not explore the forest and its surroundings in more detail.

Taking my black jacket, I buttoned the top of my shirt and tucked it into my pants to look more presentable. When I was in my tent, I allowed myself to get comfortable, especially since the clothes made by Taegen and his group were fabulously comfortable. The spider man made fine but strong threads and was able to shape them into any form. So in just one week, I already had quite a few clothes ranging from T-shirts to suits.

I had obviously explained the different shapes of clothes I wanted, mixing modern outfits that I used to wear in my old world and that were much more in my taste. A lot of people had also started to wear this kind of clothes which gave a new freshness in this world.

"Your Highness, everyone is ready."

It was time to join those who were waiting for me while everyone else continued their work always with a smile and good mood. Gaya and Shiro followed me and we crossed the many constructions still in progress to arrive at the place where 102 people were standing accompanied by all the section leaders and commanders.

"Your Highness, Gaya-sama, Princess Shiro."

Everyone bowed to us as I spoke.

"Welcome everyone, I only remember a few of you, but I'm glad to see that you have arrived safely. I assume that every leader here has already introduced themselves to you ?"

Nixia then stepped forward to answer my question.

"We have indeed introduced each of them to the different positions we lead and they have even had time to think about their choice for a while now thanks to Gaya-sama."

Indeed, my wife during the trip had already explained to them how the Kingdom worked for the time being, which made it easier. As I turned my head towards the dragoness to smile slightly at her as a sign of thanks, four people walked in front of me at the same time. I recognized the minotaur Yorr, the elf Elyon and the two half-humans I had saved in extremis from the lord.

Suddenly, the two men took a step back to let the two women kneel before me before uttering a sentence each. It was the cat woman who spoke first.

"I...my name is Triss your Highness and today I wish to pledge my allegiance to you. Elyon told us what happened at the manor and...and I wanted to thank you as well for saving my life your highness. Please allow me in the future to serve you."

Then it was the rabbit-eared young woman's turn to speak.

"My name is...Lia. Like Triss, I kneel before you in gratitude and loyalty. In...in this camp I was reunited with my mother, my father and even my little brother Hans. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you have done for my family your highness and I wish to serve you to the end."

-- PING --

[ Congratulations! You have obtained 2 citizens/subordinates ]

Standing before them, I could see them shaking, fists clenched and faces down as a notification rang in my mind. These two young women had never been my subordinates because the day I had released them they were unconscious.

*Oh the little Hans I met the first day with Luna ?*

I didn't know that Lia was Hans' older sister and I couldn't help but be relieved for her and her family. Triss didn't have anyone here besides the ones she already knew, but she also seemed happy to be here.

"Look up."

I wanted to see their eyes to analyze their determination to follow me. As I took turns looking into theirs, Lia was blushing as she tried to resist the urge to turn her head away.

*Why the hell is she blushing like that ?*

[Onee-san...seriously ?]

Kira seemed to be laughing at me as I asked the two young women to stand up. Gaya had already explained to me that they wanted to help me in my daily work and become our secretaries. I found the idea interesting so I accepted without hesitation.

"Lia, Triss, from now on I accept that you are part of the management section as personal secretaries. Gaya is the head of it so I strongly advise you to join her later so she can explain your job in detail."

The two half-humans bowed shyly before moving behind the dragoness who had joined the other section heads on the sides to facilitate the distribution. There were still 100 people left who had then stood behind each other after Yorr and Elyon. They stood in front of me in a line and all wanted to thank me and tell me which section they had chosen. Yorr was first and was already coming forward bowing respectfully to Shiro and me.

"Your Highness, it is an honor to see you and the Princess again !"

At that moment, my little moon answered without me even having the time.

"Oh sir ! I remember you, everything will be fine now because you are protected by my mommy !"

No one could help but smile at these words spoken with such innocence and kindness. The minotaur also smiled as he bowed his head once again visibly touched by her words.

"I thank you Princess Shiro."

Then turning to me he continued.

"Your Highness, I wish to join the army in the ranks of Commander Emilia. I have no magic but I am sure I can become strong and be able to protect all these people."

"Oh ? I don't like idle talk, so you will have to work to illustrate your words. If you feel you can do it, you are free to go wherever you want."

It was after that in the turn of Elyon to appear in front of me whereas the minotaur placed himself behind Emilia.

"Empress, I thank you once again for saving us all, just like my comrade I wish to join the army but in the ranks of Commander Nixia."

With his skill that according to Gaya created trees that could defend and attack, it was a very good idea for the elf to join Nixia.

"Sure go ahead, I have no doubt that you can surprise us one day."

The elf walked away with a smile on his face and determined eyes to get behind the lamia. Deep down I hoped that Yorr and Elyon would join the army because I had a good impression of them the first time, despite their weaknesses. I only had 98 people left to see and it was going to be a long evening.

I was back in my tent with only Gaya because Shiro had gone to eat with Kate and the other children who had just arrived. I had just finished interviewing the newcomers and a lot of things were very positive.

For starters, there were 15 dwarves who could forge weapons, tools and many other things, which was a huge plus for the Kingdom. The most talented one was called Yuric, he was very passionate about his craft and with him I knew we could do some amazing things. He was not very talkative but when I told him about the projects in progress and showed him the plans that contained modern ideas, his eyes lit up and the dwarf did not stop talking after that.

10 children had joined the other orphans who were being taken care of by Viana and her team and 10 people wanted to help in this section which was perfect. 7 wanted to join the doctors' section led by Caipy but to work in the future hospital and not as soldiers. 5 were farmers and 5 also knew about cloth work.

Of the remaining 48, there were 8 who were seniors and the remaining 40 joined the army with 5 per commander.

"I think things are going perfectly well !'

I was happy because we were gradually getting new people with special talents who could contribute to the emergence of this Kingdom. All the plans were ready and everyone was helping every day so that one day we could see the place that we would all have created with our own hands.

"I think it's crazy that you thought of all these things, it's the first time that such a place exists. The projects are crazy, modern and at the same time very nice. There is space, wonderful places and I can already imagine what life will be like once all the buildings are built."

Gaya was still in awe of the plans I had already shown her not long ago and it wouldn't be long before she could actually see them. The builders were basically only 25 but I had ordered that the soldiers help the workers to physically train and advance in the constructions. So the speed of progress was enormous and thanks to those who managed it perfectly, everything was coordinated and meticulously prepared.

The stones were broken and collected in the forest before being cut by the workers. They followed the plans of the leaders to the letter and the power of the different races was more than useful because the work was hard.

The dwarves had set up shop a little way back to build a makeshift forge to begin preparing the various things I had asked of them. They were geniuses at their craft so I didn't need to worry too much.

The soldiers, in addition to helping the workers, took turns watching and hunting to vary their training while still helping. The commanders were doing a great job and weren't getting much rest either. As I was thinking of a way to not overwork them, Gaya asked me an interesting question.

"Honey, I still haven't seen the plans for our house. Is it going to be a castle ?"

I didn't want to live in a huge castle with only the three of us, so I had designed a large mansion that was both modern and old, not too big but imposing. For now it was enough, I could very well expand it as I went along if it was needed. I still hadn't shown the plans to my wife for a simple and good reason, I wanted to surprise her.

"This is on purpose. You and Shiro won't find out about the house until after the construction is finished, when everyone will be living in their own house instead of a tent. It will be hard to hide the outside of our house but the inside will remain a secret until the day of the revelation kufufu~!"

The dragoness frowned as she put both fists on her hips and questioned me further.

"When will the first city be finished then ?"

I had indeed gotten an estimate from the site masters on site who explained that we could house everyone and have a city almost completely built in a short time. Everybody was working hard with an unheard of strength, pushed by the same desire and the same dreams. The constructions were very fast and with my help, my strength and my skills they would be even faster.

As I looked at Gaya I replied with a big smile.

"One month !"
