《Rise Of The Dark Queen》Chapter: 4 - The World Changed
Advertisement
"My queen....we should have taken the black guard with us after all..." Iris spoke while she walked beside me.
"sigh"
"Iris....what do you think the humans would do if they saw so many undead marching towards their town?" I spoke to Iris rather irritate.
"umm....they would flee in terror?" she tilted her head....she is an air head....but she is not wrong...but..
"Iris....Iris.....Iris...you are really dumb....what our beautiful queen wants to tell you is that if they saw that much high-ranking undead...well to put it simply they would run away in terror....but after that they would return with an army....do you get it now?" Kain snickered as he talked to Iris....this is gonna end badly.
"Guahha!" ahh see I told you.....Iris punched him right in the stomach....
"Well what Kain said is true....do you understand now Iris?" I asked her again in conformation.
"Ah I understand now my queen you are truly wise.." she smiled at me completely ignoring the things Kain said.....scary.
Oh, you are probably wondering what am I doing and where am I at the moment right....well in order to explain that let's go back in past.
It has been a week that I was reincarnated into this world....I had learned a lot about this world....and how much it changed....it really isn't the same world as the game.
It was explained to me that the great rulers two hundred years ago vanished into thin air....in my example it was a deep sleep...anyway when those rulers vanished chaos started.
Once a great kingdom Leinard was now reduced only to a shell of its former power....Leinard was the name of the kingdom that was controlled by the strongest player in the game....the crazy guy that had three hundred cities or more.
Anyway....once the rulers disappeared like I said the chaos started....new kingdoms were formed....the cities once owned by Leinard became free again and made their own kingdoms with their own territories.
A similar thing happened to all the other races as well...the orc race formed clans...that ruled their territories...the elves had similar system like the humans with kingdoms....and so on...in conclusion the world is in chaos....with so many kingdoms...greed is at its peak...every kingdom wants to grow in power and wealth, of course, it the basic nature of all beings.

When I heard all those things how should I put it I was worried....I was worried about my own kingdom....the Night kingdom....what...I know it's a lame name...but that was the only name I could come up with when I was asked to choose a name for my kingdom...
Moving on, like I said I was worried about what happened to my kingdom while I was asleep was it conquered I wondered....but the one who lifted the weight of my heart was Mortas...all the generals were bowing to me while they were explaining the situation in the world...Mortas stood up and proudly stepped forward.
"There is no need to worry my queen.....this kingdom you created...we would never allow anyone to ever lay their hands on it..." after that he bowed down again.
".....thank you for protecting this kingdom....all of you.." I spoke with a smile....I was genuinely happy....I loved my kingdom...while it was just a game...I spent so much time on developing it and protecting it....so naturally even in this world I still love it.
Also, the four generals reported to me that the other smaller undead kingdoms or mainly their new rulers tried to take this kingdom for their domain and the Black City....oh the Black City is the name of the capital city...anyway, they tried....yeah tried....the generals cut off the heads of all the undead that tried to take what was not theirs.
After all the reports I was given I decided that I wanted to see this world with my own eyes....the generals even Iris and Kain objected to this idea....but I wanted to see it....after all its a dream of every gamer to see the fantasy world with their own eyes right ?
Mortas and the other generals said that if I wished to see the world with my own eyes well....I should take them and all the army....so nothing would stand in my way...."sigh" that idea was quickly rejected.
Iris told me to at least take the black guard with me....but you know the story about the black guard already....and thus as my bodyguards instead of a full army or the black guard, I have Iris and Kain with me...I had to give up on that idea.

We are currently in the kingdom called Lizia....it was the first human kingdom that shared the border with our kingdom...we crossed the border rather easily....well it's to be expected with so many wars even the border guards are thin in number...but to leave the border with kingdom of the undead so little guarded....is stupid.
We arrived in this town called Larnwick...the town wasn't that guarded as well...they are most likely at war and almost all the soldiers are called to arms leaving only little military to maintain the order in town's and cities.
"How rude...to make the queen wait in this line for almost ten minutes....unacceptable..." Kain muttered....I have to calm him down again...and yeah right now we are waiting for our turn to enter the town...which will be right about now.
"Kain calm down" I whispered to Kain...he looked back at me and just smiled and continued looking forward again.
"Next!" the armoured guard holding a halberd yelled...finally it's our turn.
"Good day to you" I greeted the guard that only looked at me.
"Yes-yes what are you a refuge....adventurer..speak" he spoke rather irritated...both Iris and Kain let out slight blood lust towards the guard...I tapped both of their shoulders to calm them down.
"Neither we are just simple travelers that want to rest at your lovely town"
"hmm" he looked at me and Iris....disgusting...seriously your face tells all that you are thinking about....he had a lewd expression on his face while he scanned both of us with his eyes...mostly Iris....by the way, Iris wore the same dress as before the black one that showed her white legs and her bountiful balloons...I wore the different coloured dress...it was a crimson red frilly dress with red silky gloves...Kain switched from his butler outfit and wore a dark leather armour...it was a vampire lord epic set...tho it was not legendary set it was still pretty powerful.
"For the there of you...it will be three silver coins...but I can lower the price...if the lovely ladies would like to go for a drink with me...hehe"
Dam.....both Iris and Kain's eyes shone crimson....when that happens it means they are at their peak with the anger....."sigh"
"No thank you...here you go your silver's...now let us through" I spoke with a smile...and handed over the coins to the guard...the currency in the world is the same as the game...bronze...silver...and gold...one hundred bronze coins was one silver...and one hundred silver coins was one gold coin...really easy.
"Tch....let them pass!" the guard clicked his tongue and yelled to the other guards that were standing near the gate.
We passed by the other guards that had the same expression as the first one...morons.
We entered the town....the streets were full of people...merchants were on the side of the street selling various things...from weapons to food.
"That worm...." Iris was the one who spoke those words.
"I want to tear him limb from limb..." and that was Kain.
"sigh"
"Calm down you two....its not like he did anything to us...so don't cause trouble for now.."
"But mistress..." Iris looked at me.
"My queen...to have that lower life form look at you with that expression and those eyes....it is unacceptable....but since you have plans I shall restrain myself for now." Kain bowed his head slightly towards me...I only nodded and continued forward.
While we were walking down the street I noticed a sign with a beer glass on it....this must be....the legendary fantasy Inn!
"Kain,Iris are you hungry?"
