Moon dropped the two goblins in front of the unfinished tower. The cloud was unsure how to handle the new hostages, so he passed the problem to Raiz, who was still clueless about what to do with them. Raiz, feeling overwhelmed, decided to pass the buck to the queen.

Knowing the queen was on the top floor, Raiz flew up and casually mentioned, "We have a gift for you, two goblins. One of them seems intelligent and might be useful. I left them on the first floor." With that, Raiz quickly escaped the situation.

After offloading the problem onto the queen, Raiz went back outside to enjoy the wind. While everyone else was busy constructing, hunting, gathering resources, and working on buildings, Raiz was relaxing.

As the bees worked diligently, the cloud enjoyed the peace, while Raiz tried to level up again in the forest.The day finally ended, and night fell. It was time for Raiz to return from his adventure. Raiz reached level five and surprisingly gained a new skill as soon as he leveled up.

The skill seemed useful to Raiz. As night descended, he returned to the hive.Looking up, he saw the purple cloud. Raiz femt something was off. His instincts were telling him that something was wrong here.

The cloud came down and asked about Raiz's adventures. Raiz knew that the cloud was curious and inquisitive, like a hungery wolf. It was unusual to see the usually curious cloud staring at the sky all day. It was like seeing an energetic kid suddenly become quiet and sit down in the corner.

"Are you okay?" Raiz asked, placing his hand on the cloud's shoulder.

"Are you feeling depressed? I've seen it affect a lot of people. If you want to talk, I'm here."

". . . What?"

"Is something wrong?"

"What gave you that impression?"

"You've been staring at the sky all day, even though you usually enjoy adventures."

"I wasn't staring at the sky. I was doing something very, very amusing, hehehe."

Raiz was relieved to hear that nothing serious was wrong. However, his curiosity was piqued when the cloud mentioned something amusing.

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

Sensing something, Moon flew up. Raiz followed him. In their sight, a line of bees was marching toward them. The bees gathered in a large group, then divided into three smaller groups.

The queen, who was on the top floor, also saw the marching bees. She knew exactly who the leader of the march was. As she pondered the situation, she knew this was not a revenge but a motive and a reason they needed to acquire the lifestone.

The enemy bees had a King who wanted to peacefully resolve conflicts between different hives. It was a beautiful idea, but unfortunately, his ideas were not supported by his bees.

The King was desperately fighting for his beliefs and life, but the Queen, the one he trusted most, couldn't pretend anymore. The more she saw the King, the more she was convinced that she was on the right path.

The King wanted peace, but the same couldn't be said for his bees. The Queen delivered a speech that no Bee citizen could refute. She stood in front of a large tree and spoke.

"Peaceful times are good, but we always know that a strong enemy might come anytime. We have already moved our hive once. Our bees were destroyed beyond recognition. We may ally ourselves with other bee nests, but are we sure that those other bee hives won't come for us? I will not wait for uncertainty. I will unite every bee in the forest, those who live with pride and pursue our glory. Follow me, and you shall see our race bathe in glory."

After finishing her speech, the Queen didn't look back and went to her room in the tree. She sat down, and a vile smile crept across her face. Unrecognizable from the elegant queen who was a friendly leader, she was now leading her race to a greater future. Her eyes, filled with madness, narrowed as she remembered how she got the speech.

---------------------

It was five years ago. While traveling with her guards, she met a small nest. Though the Queen had no interest in it, she saw something glowing. Her curiosity kicked in, and she followed the light only to find a beautiful lifestone. Lifestones were rare treasures. The Queen's greed was evident in her bee face, but she quickly covered her snake-like expression.

She turned away and headed back to her nest, hatching a plan to steal the lifestone. On her way, she encountered a young bee hunting in the wild. Should she kill her? No. She decided to play a little game. She went to the young bee and said,

"Your nest will be destroyed by another nest tomorrow. But if you can give me a good speech about why we should avoid war, I might let your nest live." Honestly, the Queen cared less about what the young bee said.

This nest was doomed the moment she found the lifestone. She just wanted to see the agony and despair.Surprisingly, the young oddball had a surprised look but quickly became calm and thought deeply. The speech was good, so good that she even decided to let this bee live from the doomed nest.

Returning from her memories, the Queen mumbled to herself, "Shame you became their Queen. You could have lived through the chaos that was coming. Maybe you saved yourself from the pain." She began laughing hysterically.

Now, the population was fully on her side after a long period of preparation. The Queen didn't hesitate to cast away the tool that had no use anymore. She was referring to the King, who was still trying to preserve peace.

Unfortunately for him, it was too late as he was cut in half by the Queen's guard on the same night.

After taking control, she immediately sent orders to attack the hive. Her three new bee generals were more than eager to be on the battlefield.
