Chapter 2- Preparations

Chapter 2- Preparations

The news of The demon lord and new found God of this world, rimuru's ball spread like wild fire. Kingdoms far and wide heard about the news and were already preparing for the event. The ball's theme was masquerade, so the guests would have to wear a mask. Rimuru however, was having the biggest head ache of his life. He keeps receiving letters from different nobles and kingdoms telling him that they will be coming. Rimuru didn't like the idea of this ball because most of the people who were coming didn't even, in the slightest, love him yet all they want is money and power. The only ones who probably wanted to marry him out of love were his own people. Yet he could no longer do anything since the news had already spread far across the world. Holding the papers he received, he sighed as he rubbed his head. This motion didn't go unnoticed by Diablo though and so the demon went to his master's side.

"Are you alright my lord?" Diablo asked.

"Never better." Rimuru said sarcastically. Diablo understood this and went to get his master a glass of water.

"Why do I have to put with this. I don't even want a bride." Rimuru said as Diablo consoled him.

A few seconds later, Ranga emerged from rimuru's shadow.

"Master are you alright. I sensed you don't feel alright?" Ranga said as he sat down beside his master.

"I'm alright ranga, I'm just exhausted. Can you please go fetch me the department heads?" Rimuru asked, tired.

"Aye! I live to serve!" Ranga said as he departed to get the department heads.

Diablo was also about to leave to fetch the department heads when he was quickly called back by Rimuru.

"Diablo, stay here please." Rimuru asked as Diablo went to sit beside him.

"Do you need anything from me, master?" Diablo asked.

"I don't need anything Diablo, I just want company." Rimuru replied as Diablo nodded.

They spent the next few minutes in comfortable silence. The department heads then started filling in the room, however they did notice that their master seemed somewhat tired but said nothing about it seeing that Diablo already had it covered. When everyone was present, rimuru started the conference.

"Welcome everyone. Today's conference is about the masquerade ball that is being planned." The moment rimuru said this everyone started to get excited.

"Do you guys have any idea when to set the date?" Rimuru asked.

"How about we host it next week, my lord? It will give the kingdoms attending enough time to come here." Rigurdo said as most of the department head agreed.

"Alright then. Now for the budget, this ball isn't going to pay for itself." Rimuru said as Myormiles raised his hand.

"How about we make the ball free but we sell the masks at the entrance? This way we can make sure everyone has masks and that we get our money back?" Myormiles said as Rimuru nodded in approval.

"Rimuru-sama, I have a question!" Rigur said raising his hand.

"Go on?" Rimuru said Leaning back on his chair.

"I would like to ask if any gender or race can attend or is it just the nobles and women?" Rigur asked as the whole room seemed to have panicked(?) They didn't think their master would like anything other than women.

Rimuru thought about it for a bit. It's true, he was only interested in women but what about men? Maybe he should let them attend, besides he wasn't planning on picking a suitor anyways. He shaked away his thoughts and answered.
