Desaray nodded as she explained: “Yes. There is the Demon Queen of Cinder, who I have fought a few times and won each time. She is now actually my friend and is working in the city, working hard to help get ready for what is to come. She controls fire and can burn just about anything to cinder. 

“Then there is the Demon Queen of Lust. She can turn any man into her slave, making her able to create massive armies. 

“There is the Demon Queen of Death who controls the undead. The Demon Queen of Darkness can blanket the entire world in her shadow. And now that I am thinking about it. I do believe Cinder mentioned a fourth…. The Demon Queen of Lightning…..” Desaray had forgotten about this fourth Demon Queen. She did not know where this Demon Queen was or if she was even still alive. She would need to talk to Cinder about it.

“Five Demon Queens…. And one is under your control. That is kind of crazy….” Yu couldn’t help but comment. She never thought such a story like situation would ever happen. But then again, she was already a wolf girl.

“We can win against two of the demon queens because we have the weaknesses to them. But the Demon Queen of Darkness is troublesome. No light can penetrate her shadow. We need a high-level light dragon to help defeat her.” Desaray eyes landed on Becky. “So Becky, if you are willing…”

“You can count on me! I will do whatever I can!” Becky was more than willing to help her best friend.

    “I own you one. With your help, I will be able to save my kingdom from being taken over. I will help you level up. We will do a raid on the trials raid. It is quite good for quick experience.” She would need to get Becky to almost her current level to be able to face any demon queen. Maybe even higher.

“Desa…. I’m sorry.” Ricky suddenly cut in. “You must have had it rough….”

“At first, it was tough. But I slowly got used to it all. I made new friends and allies who were all willing to stand by my side. They work hard to achieve the same goal. At least now, one of my dreams has finally come true. Dad…. Welcome back.” Desaray’s smile bloomed making everyone there blush. They did not know why, but Desaray seemed to have a strong charm about her that made it hard to look away from her. 

“I’m home.” Ricky smiled as she stood up. “We should get moving. If what you said is true, then we should begin leveling as soon as possible.”

    “MMm… Oh! Right! Dad, I gave my Apostles, who did not have last names, my last name. So they are also part of our family name.” Desaray felt like she was forgetting one more thing but she decided to just put it to the back of her mind. 

“That’s fine.” Ricky smiled as he took a deep breath. He was glad. He was glad his daughter was alive. While she had changed, she had become much more mature. But this did not change the fact that standing before him was his daughter.

“Juna, if you would.” Desaray’s words confused the group, but soon, they saw multiple roots suddenly shoot out of the ground. Ricky and the rest quickly went on guard, but Desaray smiled and said: “It’s fine. These are Juna’s roots. She will help send us back to Serenity.”

“Everyone, just allow the roots to let you merge with them. I will bring you all in one go.” Juna’s voice filled their ears. Ricky and the rest did not know where the voice was coming from. Before they knew what was going on, they were all merged into the roots, and their vision was covered in darkness.

In no time at all the group was now standing at the gates of Serenity. “Her Holiness is back! Her Holiness is back! Raise the gates!”

Ricky, Becky, Yu, and Mike were all startled by what they were seeing. The guards who were at the front gate were hurrying to get the gate open, while some even knelt and bowed their heads, praying to Desaray. “Am I seeing things right?”

“She did say she was seen as a goddess. But I did not think it went this far.” Becky blinked her eyes and rubbed them a few times, but no matter how many times she rubbed them, they still showed the same thing. Her best friend was being prayed to! Desaray ignored the stunned stares of her father and friends and continued to walk forward, but if you looked closely, there was a tinge of blush on her cheeks.

“Your Holiness! Good timing, I wanted to ask you something.” A man in farmer’s clothes rushed over. He was covered in dirt from head to toe. But Desaray did not seem to mind at all as she paused her steps and looked at him. “Is there anything wrong?” She asked.

“Nothing wrong but more of what we should do. The farms are all in surplus. The crops grow too fast. The new kind of seed you came up with seems to be a little too good. We have too much foodstuff.” The farmer replied.

“It’s fine. We are storing food now anyway due to the threat of the Demon Queens. So take what can not be sold to the Finance Clerk. They will buy it all from you at market price.” Desaray was glad there was such a surplus. It would help them a lot.

The farmer’s eyes lit up as he said happily. “Great, I will do it now!”
