Chapter 335: The Quest Is Over

Due to the sudden transformation of Tina, the battle that I feared will last long enough ended without any hassle. and it ended before we can even participate in the battle. It's not so grand compared to what I am expecting to happen. Probably because I made some moves from earlier and it seems to have taken a big impact when I managed to kill Remis and stop his resurrection from happening.
The biggest change is Tina herself. From the looks of it, she has awakened to her true form. I don't know what the term is but if I was to guess it, perhaps in the insect kingdom, this kind of thing can be called "Monarch" awakening.
Her change is really drastic that even I didn't know she would become like this after confronting Lemis. Right now, we are leaving the castle to go back to where King Goliath and Queen Glass are resting after their defeat in our hands. Tina went along with me and this time, she didn't even use her legs on walking, she is just floating in the air.
"The demons have wrecked the entire kingdom alone. Who would have thought about their single day invasion would eventually lead to this kind of destructive thing?" Tina looked around the buildings that the demons have vandalized and thrashed during their invasion. It was clear they aren't just here to take over the place. They meant to destroy it.
But due to how Tina released the destructive attack earlier, it was a complete wipeout. Even the flying demons in the sky are gone and perhaps turned to ashes after they were hit by the beams. Just how powerful did Tina become to be able to pull off that?
When we arrived on the house that we placed Queen Glass and King Goliath, Queen Glass is already awake. She has a very confused look on her face as she holds her head. Perhaps the lingering pain from the battle and the control from the demons has been taking a toll on her.
"Mom?" Tina looked inside the room where the two were lying down earlier.
Queen Glass who is still confused on what is happening looked at Tina.
"Who... who are you... Is that you Alexandria?"
Tina stopped approaching when Queen Glass asked her the question. I can see in her face the pain she felt when her mother asked her that question and has mistaken her for Alexandria despite the drastic difference between the two.
I thought Tina would explain the rest to her mother the wrong call she did to her. But she didn't and turned back around.
"Alexandria? Where are you going?"
However, Tina didn't say anything and just returned outside. Seeing that Queen Glass is still not fully recovered, I cast a [Sleep] on her and she returned to slumber once more.
"Help the Queen properly on the bed, Lina and check the condition of the king. I will follow Tina outside.
"Understood, Master," Lina nodded and immediately went to Queen Glass to help her lie down on the bed properly. As for me, I followed Tina who left after she met with her mother.
Rain is pouring down the sky. It was heavy and just the small visibility of the surroundings is hard and the droplets falling in the sky hits hard and hurts a little bit on the skin. In the middle of the road is none other than Tina, wet from the rain, dripping from head to toe. However, her wings aren't wet. Perhaps it was due to the reason that her wings are glass that the rain is not affecting it at all.
"Why did you not explain the circumstances to your mother? She is confused and do not understand what is happening."
"It's better if I didn't. As much as I wanted to see her, she still clearly think more that I am Alexandria. Despite the clear difference between me and her, it seems she still didn't see me as her child despite losing the demon control over her. Alexandria and I grow up together, we both have different looks in our faces and we didn't resemble each other. She didn't have a white hair, while I do have that color. However, the very first thing she says is that I am Alexandria. Call that a weak and absurd reason for me to not face my mother but that is something that I have been enduring my entire life."
"..." I looked up at the sky and just didn't respond to her. I didn't console her nor I said any kind of inspirational quotes. Honestly, I am not obligated to say anything. I am just a player, she is an NPC, her story is not mine to mess and even though they are moving like real humans, I keep reminding myself that they are not human and are just pieces of data.
I kept on wondering why these guys, despite being an AI, have very intelligent minds and can act and think on their own. But still, its hard not to sympathize. After all, the only things that have accompanied me in the past timeline while playing the game are not players but most of the time, the NPCs.
"So what are you going to do?"
"Are you not going to scold me or persuade me to talk again to my mother?"
"No. It's not on my position to impose you on doing those things. I am just a humble adventurer who is here to just do what I am good at doing. And talking some pep talks to anyone is not my forte. It's not part of my specialty."
"Haha, you are joking right? Despite being with you for a short time, it felt like you are able to do anything you are set to do. You can even use your skills in talking and just do that. Don't say you aren't even capable of that."
"So, you want me to talk you out of it?"
"Ha, no. I expected you to do that due to your behavior so I was surprised you didn't."
"The Queen is just confused but it seems she have most of her memories made during the time you guys are already teenagers. It seems that she has been controlled by the demon not too long ago. And my theory for why she has just been controlled is to make sure she follows the setup. The first person and likely the person who caused you to be born but without the mark is none other than your father. He was already controlled before or after you were born. Now, that he is stripped away from the control, his memories would surely still be during the time you are a baby or you are still on your mother's t womb. Unlike your mother who has a bias on your sister who was possessed by a demon, he would more likely be on your favor especially since out of all the siblings alive, you are the only one alive left or more likely he still didn't know he had another daughter and son."
Tina stare on the horizon and sighed.
"That's it. It seems the demons are right. I am not fit to be a royalty. I am not fit to rule our kingdom. I am too immature. Perhaps I needed to see the world and rack up my experience."
"Are you perhaps thinking of travelling?"
"I am still too weak in regards to fighting. If I want to get to be a proper ruler in the future, I needed to find my worth."
I think I know where this is going but I won't offer my guidance to her. It all depends whether she offer to do so herself.
"You know what I was talking about right?" Tina looked at me with a sad look in her eyes.
"Perhaps. Or maybe not. Maybe I was just assuming. I am not entirely sure."
I know I am weak and I still have yet to become as powerful as Miss Lucia or Miss Lina or even your other followers, but I will work hard to become one.
Then, a prompt appear before me.
[Princess Tina, the Princess of the Insect Kingdom wanted to pledge to become your follower. Would you accept her as your follower?"]
YES/NO
I look at Tina and she has already been kneeling despite being under the rain.
"Stand up, princess. You don't need to kneel in front of me."
"Are you going to reject my application to you becoming a follower?" Tina looked at me.
"No, in fact, I will accept you."
I then clicked the Yes button.
As soon as I clicked that, the quest panel was also opened.
