"Thank you all for showing me such a warm welcome back, and I am so relieved to see all your smiling faces. We have some tough times coming ahead of us, and they are going to be dangerous, but we will make it through this, and I will use all the resources that I have at my disposal to try to prevent as many losses as I can," I explained, and as expected, not a single person batted an eye more looked slightly displeased.

"There is trouble brewing, and I have seen that the Predators are trying to take over my sister's colony and enslave her people like they have already done. Now, I know that everyone wants to attack the Geo-Sect, but we are not prepared for that, and there is a greater problem," I explained, and everyone was still bright and excited, hanging on my words.

This almost made me lose focus on my projected emotion of confidence, and I had to fight for a moment. I was able to keep myself together, but the way that everyone followed my words and devoured them scared me, but I had to keep going.

"Pendra, the other Queen that Riza disarmed, was captured by the Predators, and now she is being completely consumed by Lichtar. We need to go and save her before she is completely devoured, or it will become a problem for everyone. The Living Lichtar will start consuming everything and then spreading to other living things and force them to do the same," I explained.

If the Lichtar was able to completely consume Pendra, I don't know if we would ever be able to stop it. The Living Lichtar would endlessly replicate until it consumed the entire world; it would be a never-ending war to try and wipe it out.

"We have to stop this from happening, but I need you all to help rescue my other sister and her people. The Predators are already mixing themselves into the ranks and infecting the workers that were sent with her. That is forty thousand able worker females that will make Trent, the leader of the Predators, nearly unstoppable. If she gets a hold of all of them, there is no way we will be able to stop them."

I stopped there. There was no point in telling them anything else because the rest still needed to be discussed.

I nodded to my people, and then everyone's fist went over their hearts, and they let out the deafening chant again.

"LONG LIVE THE QUEEN! LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!"

I turned back to my wives and saw that Tag, Sig, Riza, and Join were all there, along with Beezli and Pelleta. I took the headset off, and Gamble came to take it from me, and I thanked him.

"Let's go to the Central Hive Chamber; we have a lot to discuss," I said, and everyone crowded around me as Tag and Sig walked through the Honey Gate.

I followed with my Goddesses and wives, and Riza and Joni followed behind with Gamble tailing them. The other side of the gate hadn't really changed from the last time I had been down here, but that reminded me of something.

"How is Leah doing?" I asked, turning around after everyone was thought to face Riza and Joni.

"We were just waiting for you to come out, and now that the Royal BeeBliss Serum worked on you, we will go get Leah after this meeting. As long as it is okay with you, my Queen?" Riza asked, and I smiled at her and nodded.

"Yes, of course! I would say go now, but I want you to be at this meeting because you will be helping lead while I am dealing with our sister, Pendra. I am going to need you and everyone else to help me come up with a way that we can deal with this problem," I explained to Riza, but she looked like her eyes were going to fall out of her head.

"You're not serious, are you? I am your guard! I have to be where you are!" Riza complained, but I shook my head.

"No, you need to be here; you are the only other Queen that I can give authority to. It has to be you, so I need you in this meeting. I know that this is a lot to take on, but I don't have a choice, and I need you to be acting Queen. You will have four of my wives help, and you will have Beezli and Pelleta, so don't worry. If everything goes to plan, then you shouldn't even have to do any fighting," I explained to Riza, and she looked like she was about to become ill, but she took a deep breath in.

"If that is what you need of me, then I shall perform it to the best of my ability," Riza said to me, and I smiled at her and then turned back to head to the central area where my chair was.

I was hoping that we would be able to do something like what Beezli had done for me on the Rock Trolls mountain. There was a problem with that plan; the Bees had built their hive on the side of a cliff.

So, we would have to lure them outside to even have a chance at the plan working. Then there was the question if Beezli or Gamble could recreate something like that.

I walked toward where the opening was for the central chamber, but something was different about it, but I could tell what it was until I reached the opening. There was a semi-circle o that had eight stacked rows of seats, many of them, and they were all starting to fill up.

I could see a honey Gate at the bottom row where some familiar but many unfamiliar faces were entering. I turned to look over at what they were all looking at, and I smiled at the fancy Hexagon decorated throne, and the five chairs for my wives were just below me but still close enough that I could hear them.

"We figured that It was about time that this place got a bit of a remodel, and we were all getting tired of standing through the meanings. So, we used some hive points to upgrade it a bit," Miasma said with a smile, and I smiled broadly.

"You did good," I said as I was led forward to my Hex Throne; I was moving up in the world!
