Torug's POV,
'Jealousy is easier to see than one might expect, it for sure has no cloak of invisibility.' This are my thoughts as I watched what playing out in front of me.
After leaving the lakeside, I ran in search of Moz, only to find that everyone was heading towards the mine. They barely even registered my presence as they gossiped with great curiosity amongst themselves, something about some creatures coming out of the mine.
My first thoughts was Janetta, so I made my way there while thinking about how to reward her for settling the matter quickly. but then I was like, I shouldn't just jump into conclusion in order to avoid disappointment later.
Who knew I would bump into the escaping Moz, who simply jumped into my shadow without a word. The others looked at me with different expressions, Nazu just happened to be in the forefront of the group, with Janetta leading her Grole spiders behind, the villagers trailed behind with interest.
As soon as I got closer, Nazu's eyes went wide, she approached me and began to sniff, when she was done, she looked like she wanted to say something but chose to remain silent.
Unfortunately, I have been feeling this sharp pain from the side, as she continued to glare at me. 'Woman, do you have some kind of superpower or something ah', if she was the only one but who knew, Urim would come to my side and smack my shoulder playfully, he wiggled his eyebrows as well, making me feel the urge to have another unarmed combat training with him.
Seeing him feel so smug, I used my eyes to threaten him but it only seemed to add color to his amus.e.m.e.nt, so I used my eyes to remind him of Torrelsav. The big oaf probably choked on his saliva, as he has been coughing for a while now.
Before anyone could grab the opportunity to tease me, I quickly acknowledged Janetta.
"Looks like everything went smoothly" I say, to which she simply bowed, a smile hung on her lips like a child who had been praised by a parent.
I didn't mind as I was genuinely impressed by how quickly she handled the whole matter, then I asked her another question as I approached her people, "Have you told them about what was to come?".
Looking at the spider folk, I noticed that they seemed uncomfortable, perhaps because of being away from the Sun for so long. Well it was still a few hours before evening and this period is usually the hottest period of the day.
"yes"She said as she looked towards her people, no one said anything or made any sound at this point of the conversation. As if on cue, the spider folk began to bow, from those who had yet to assimilate to those with half humanoid forms, every one bowed to the master of their Queen.
Though confused, they accepted the situation whole heatedly. some of the elites who already had human forms and assimilated with human corpses had perhaps already begun thinking of the concept of Kings.

____________________
I quickly accepted their allegiance in half surprise because of the system notifications.
what surprised me the most was the number of spiders, 2170! that's an army!.
In my excitement, I asked Janetta about this while feigning calmness but I became sad later... Apparently, about 822 were still eggs while those that were in the first circle numbered around 610, 34 were on the second circle and had just completed their assimilation in order to become elites, that way they'll have a complete humanoid form. The remaining 704 were still just Grole spiders.
This sounded reasonable but at the same time left me disappointed in way but it's not too late. the system has acknowledged them as my people, so all that would change in no time.
I then dismissed everyone, asking my inner circle to come to the Manor after an hour.
"Janetta" I called out from the side and the purple haired woman looked in my direction, "try to work with Nazu in order to make arrangements for your people".
Hearing my words, she looked at me with a knowing smile before dragging away the Jealous orc woman.
Meanwhile, I quickly walked to the Manor while going through the notifications. While at it, I noticed I had finally completed a quest.
['For the Queen'!]
[Deal with the Grole Queen...]
[The Queen serves...as expected of a King]
[Rewards: purple equipment card x3, Skill level up card x1, Building upgrade card x1 ]
"???" If I said I wasn't somewhat confused by the evaluation, I'd be lying, but the rewards were rather generous.
"..." at some point, Moz had appeared and was seated at the base of my throne.
"Moz" I called out and she subconsciously looked in my direction, before rushing to look away again.
"..." honestly I didn't know what to say, as I didn't want to be misunderstood.
"I sinned" She finally says, but her words further increased my confusion.
"What do you mean?"
"Nazu was the one who should have been the first but..." her words ended halfway, obviously this was genuinely worrying her.
Thinking about the whole thing, I remembered a rule about such things but they were only applicable within those clans that stuck with tradition and their prejudice against Shadow Orcs.
Shadow Orcs had no right to rulership and were meant to stick with their hunters all their life, in fact, I could say their status were on two steps above outcasts and oath breakers, then a step above the slaves and serfs.
This could be seen in the way the blood horn clan did things.
'I can only imagine what she must have been experiencing since childhood, up until I caught her, even then, She had been abandoned by her Hunter Ghur and left for dead...'
"Moz..." I called out to her but she didn't really answer, "You are not to worry about such things, this is the Black moon clan, this is your clan... no one is to treat you differently and it doesn't matter who is first or second... what matters is what I choose to do, if anyone feels otherwise, they're free to come and fight me"
She looked at me with raised brows but said nothing besides a nod. Soon she phased out in front of me.
'Ah idiot...is that how to cheer someone up or...' I berated myself internally and couldn't help shaking my head, for the first time, I didn't know what to say than to babble nonsense.
"Ah... another stupid title" I say trying to distract my self from what happened earlier.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
