[Book 2] That time I got reincarnated as a slime,no, a DRAGON?

CH-33

3rd Person POV

What Benimaru said caught everyone's attention.

"What sort of joke is this Benimaru?" Rimuru asked.

"This is no joke Rimuru-sama. We disagree with how things are right now. To give humans the same rights as monsters. Not only that, but your ideology as a whole. Not only I, but even Ultima, Carrera and Testarossa agree. Please resign from your position. I have great respect for you. I don't want to hurt you or anyone else."

Rimuru, as if realising what he was saying quickly turned towards the castle. It was odd that Ciel had gotten her paperwork wrong. Now Rimuru finally realised what was going on.

"You need not worry Rimuru-sama. Testarossa would never harm Ciel-sama."

Rimuru looked straight at Benimaru with cold dead eyes that even sent a chill down Benimaru's spine.

"Very well. Call those three to the arena as well, I will deal with all four of you at the same time." Rimuru said as he left towards the arena.

"Onii-sama. What's the meaning this?" Shuna shouted.
"What are you doing Benimaru?" Shion screamed as well, demanding an explanation, but Benimaru just left. As Benimaru left the scene, intense murmurs started to spread.

Ciel's POV

As I finished the paperwork, I stood up to leave. But I really can't believe that I messed up my paperwork. I mean, it's true that I wasn't exactly paying attention to it, but to make such a big blunder? I wonder what's wrong with me.

*Knock**knock*

"Come in."

As I say that, Testarossa, Ultima and Carrera walk into the room. The trio together are a rare sight.

"What happened?" I ask. Looking at them again, there was something wrong with them. They were acting completely different from normal. There was no quarreling amongst themselves and they were, without a doubt, in a serious mood.

"Ciel-sama. Please follow us." Testarossa said, beckoning me to follow her.

I wanted to ask a few questions, but decided not to.

"Ciel-sama, I know you have a lot to ask, but please follow us." Testarossa said as she led me to a nearby room. 

"What's going on?" I ask. As I enter the room, they stand guard at the door.

"Ciel-sama. We apologize for what we are going to do, but please co-operate with us. Please do not leave this room. We don't want to injure you."

"What's the meaning of this? Is this done kind of joke? If it is, it isn't funny." I speak in a cold tone. The room starts to visibly freeze as I let my aura free.

"We can understand what you are saying, but please stay in this room. Everything will be settled in an hour."

"What do you mean settled? What are you guys doing?"

"I am sorry Ciel-sama, but I cannot tell you that right now. But-" Testarossa was about to say something else, but Ultima interrupted her and whispered something in her ears.

"Ciel-sama, sorry for being so abrupt, but we really need to leave. Please do not leave this room." Testarossa said in a hurry before leaving together with Ultima and Carerra.

As if to keep a guard on me, four guards were placed outside the room. All four of them were demons. Demon Peers. They might be strong for this world, but I can defeat them easily. I look out of the window. I haven't been using my full powers for some time since it often overloads my brain, but I guess-

*Slam.* A loud voice resonated throughout the room. I look towards the door to see that guards had been knocked out. I looked at the door and saw two maids standing at the door. There clothes were covered in blood and they were breathing heavily.

"Ciel... -sama. Please... Escape. We will... Buy time for you." One of them said as she tried to catch her breath.

"What do you mean?" I askas I look outside the room. All four of the guards were dead. There was one more maid who was seriously injured. I quickly healed her. These maids are not only maids but also my bodyguards. They are strong enough to put up a fight and hold on for a few minutes, even in front of the Twelve Patrons of they work together. They are my pride. These three aren't the only one. There should be two more.

"It seems that Benimaru-sama, Ultima-sama, Testarossa-sama and Carrera-sama have revolted. Due to this, many problems are popping up all over the city. The festive mood would have been ruined, if it weren't for the duel between Rimuru-sama and the other four."

Well, monsters have always loved a good fight. So this must be quite interesting for them. But what I can't really wrap my mind around is them revolting. Why would they suddenly revolt? What's the point? I don't those demonesses would ever go against dear. Also, where's Diablo? Shouldn't he be keeping a check in them? Why is he missing at such an important time?

Just as I was thinking this, I could hear large cheering outside the palace. I look outside. It seems to be coming from the arena.

"Hahahaha. I understand now." I say as things finally start making sense.

"Ciel-sama?" One of the maid spoke up, a bit surprised by my sudden laughter.

"I won't be leaving. Now I understand why they brought me here. After all, this is the only room which has a direct view of the arena. Only from here can I see the arena."

"Why does that matter Ciel-sama? You should really escape." One of them spoke up from behind.

Unlike the patrons or other old people, they don't know about my true strength. To them, I am just a queen whose power lies in interval affairs.

"No need. Dear is already dealing with them." I said as I looked at the arena.

"But what is Rimuru-sama loses? Fighting four of the patrons must not be easy."

"Hahahaha."

It even took mea second to realise that it was be ei was laughing.

"Dear losing? To those four? What a joke. If those four were enough to defeat him, he wouldn't be a God, much less a demon lord." I say trying to hold in my laughter. Even Benimaru should know that they have no chance. If they really wanted to kill dear, assassination is the only way. Fighting him head on is a foolish maneuver. This must be dear's plan. I wonder what he is brewing up now.

"Don't worry. You all are safe here. They will not send anyone here." I declare to the three.

I look outside the window as I see small fires being lit up throughout the city. The police is responding quickly, capturing and arresting all the offenders they could find. Did dear want to root out all this with bad intentions towards us? I guess that's understandable. Now that we will have to focus on other worlds, it is imperative that we do not get backstabbed.

But still, there couldn't have been a worse time for this. And I was even thinking of surprising him with this. Oh well. I guess i will just have to wait.
