Reincarnated in slime as the son of a primordial

10 great saints

Man I didn't sign up for this, how are we getting busier by the day, it should be the other way around.

We had completed the highway to dwargon, but still needed to establish a new road leading to Thalion and also plan out the new city construction project for Milim and her people. While also developing a massive festival while executing a grand scheme to conquer Farmus Kingdom.

I was lying on the couch in our office while Rimuru was doing paper work, when Souka teleported into the room.

"My lords. Hinata Sakaguchi seems to be headed towards our Kingdom alone. Nansou  was responsible for monitoring activity just outside the holy city Ruberios, and said he didn't see anyone else leaving with her." Souka said kneeling

At that moment Touka came out of her shadow and said

"Hold on. There are some new observations. There are four Holy Knights following Hinata's trail." She said

"Just four?" Rimuru questioned

"Indeed. But all of them seem to be very powerful, and have used some kind of magic causing us to lose track of them. I apologize for our incompetence." Touka said bowing.

"Its fine. They are highly capable individuals, don't beat yourself up." I said before going deep into thought.

Hinata going alone was a good sign, as it would mean she has come to negotiate in person. But these four throw everything off. I trust that Rumi-chan warned Hinata not to start conflict with our nation. Hinata is completely loyal to her so she wouldn't disobey, does this mean the four following her are doing so on their own accord, perhaps out of worry for her. It is not unbelievable that her subordinates would be concerned about her going alone to a country with 2 demon lords and Veldora. 

"I'm not sure she's coming on friendly terms because she's carrying an old-looking sword on her back." Souka added

"Those. Holy knights were fully armed as well." Touka added

Hinata carrying a strong weapon is one thing, but for four fully armed holy knights to be following her, it  looks like my theory of self-defence is wrong. Is she actually planning to wage war with us. Why? She ignored me on my first encounter and lost to me, surely she won't be stupid enough to do it again. Is she underestimating Rimuru as he is the one who was in the message, surely she doesn't expect me to just sit there in the case that she does come close to beating Rimuru. Does she follow the Ruminism doctrines that closely, that she ignores her own judgement. Even so surely if the one who made the doctrines advises you not to do something, you wouldn't do it.

"We need to set up another meeting for the lieutenants." I said

"Yup" Rimuru agreed

At that moment Diablo appeared in the room without his usual confident demeanor.

"My lords I have something to report." Diablo said in a troubled tone

"Is there a problem?" I asked

"Indeed." Diablo said

"What is it." Rimuru asked

"Rei I prepared your lunch for you!" Testarossa said bursting through our office door

Sensing the atmosphere she immediately apologized, before walking beside me and handing me my lunch.

"Rayheim is dead. I'm not sure of the cause. The last time I saw him he was in perfect condition, he was either murdered or met with an accident. I'm deeply sorry my lords, it was my miscalculation that led to this happening." Diablo said
