Tempest History [Tensura X Slime No Taoshite]

Princess Scheme

On the way to falmuth, there are two visible carriages travelling around with several cavalries, one of the carriages carried diablo, shalsha and the three captives, "How troublesome, their sense has been completely twisted, holy magic may not work properly.." shalsha mutter while looking at the three captives who is in the shape of meatloaf being stuff into a crate, "can you do something diablo?" Shalsha asked

"Hm..i will try" diablo then remove the remaining magicules that left by shion during her 'interrogations' and turn razen and rayh back into normal human, "Thank you..." Archbishop rayhem said while kneeling in front of diablo, "please...i'm not important....the king first" razen who is still in his old body begging to shalsha instead of diablo, seeing this diablo just smile satisfy, "there's a price for every request...i believe you understand that right?" Shalsha with cold tone while looking at razen like some pebbles om the road

"Yes....please make me your humble servant.." razen who know how terrifying diablo is just accept his fate, "i leave this guy to you diablo" shalsha said and averted her eye from razen, "Thank you very much...hm, even though you are still insignificant to us, you are consider strong within humans..very well" diablo said as he activated his unique skill [Tempter] and put the three under his control, the three captives immediately collapse after receive the skill

"Shalsha-sama, do you have any plan in mind?" Diablo asked shalsha as he already thought a plan im case of shalsha doesn't think of anything yet, "i have.." shalsha replied, "would you be kind enough to explain it to me?" Diablo lower his head as he is excited to hear shalsha wisdom

"At first we will go with your plan regarding the three choices, surrender, war or pay the compensations, the answer that they will give to us is don't really matter as whatever their choose will be beneficial for us....you are very brilliant diablo" shalsha said with her genuine praise to diablo, "thank you for your kind words.." diablo who is happy receiving this praise bow more lower

"What i'm really targeting is the moment the civil war start within them, the nobles must have different opinion during the meeting regarding the choice, the choice to surrender is obvious will be eliminated , now the debate between to pay or war will begin, at that time is almost confirm that the civil wars will happen"

"When that happens....we gonna massacre half of the soldiers from both side" shalsha stop for a while and looking at diablo expression, "massacre? May i know the reason?" Shalsha who confirmed that diablo doesn't have any sympathy regarding the soldiers just nodded and continue to explain, "after we massacre them, i will ask papa to dispatch an army to stop the war under the pretense that Tempest can't bear to see anymore fallen victim, and the one who requested help from tempest will be youm"

"I see, so shalsha-sama intended to bind the whole kingdom to tempest through gratitude....but how do we find the scapegoat of the massacre?" Diablo asked passionately as his eyes glowing star while hearing shalsha plan, "The eastern empire will receive the blame" shalsha who ask rimuru in the past know that later in the future the eastern empire will invaded the western continent so she will act first, "but why eastern empire?" Diablo who confused asked, "it will make it more believable, after all the eastern empire is known throughout the world for their invasion" shalsha said, "i see, if so then it will not weird if eastern empire were to massacre those soldier" diablo answered cheerfully

"But how do we put the blame to them?" Diablo asked again, "food" shalsha answered simply, "food?" Diablo asked confuse by what shalsha word mean, "we will massacre those soldiers with poison that come with the iconic food from the eastern empire, and you must know how valuable food is during the war right?" Shalsha grin and asked diablo, "of course!" Diablo answered as he himself know that food supply during the war is extremely valuable

"Basically the scenario will be that eastern empire take advantage of falmuth during the civil war and massacre the falmuth soldier to drop their military power and champion youm who asked help from tempest to stop the war will be the hero and crown as the king while the whole kingdom will feel that tempest is their saviour" shalsha concluded her plan, 'and that would make the whole western continent to guard up againts eastern empire invasion in the future' shalsha thought, but this is a future knowledge  so she would not tell diablo
