Birth of the Void King Dragon

Chapter 5: Unexpected Visitor

Ice Continent

3rd POV

In front of the Frozen Castle, there stood 2 maids facing a man dressed in butler attire. The maids were displaying wariness and hostility to the man in front of them. As the maid with blue hair began to activate her magic, her counterpart with green hair held her arm up in front of her, attempting to stop her before she could cause more problems. The black haired man, just stood there and smiled in amusement as he observed the scene in front of him. He truly wanted to put the maid in her place for her disrespectful tone she had taken with him upon his arrival, but this would be defying his master's orders. So he continued to restrain himself from engaging in combat.

"Why are you here Noir?" Misery's voice suddenly rang out as she turned her attention towards Diablo once more. Diablo's face curled up in a small expression of disdain and disgust. "Do not refer to me as Noir any longer. My master has bestowed me with the wonder name of 'Diablo'. And I would appreciate it if you would address me as such." The last sentence was uttered with thinly veiled contempt towards the maids. At his words, both maids took a step back from shock and slight fear. He had always been stronger than them, even after they received their names. And now he had a name, as well as evolved.

"Y-you've been named?!? Who in the world could possibly name you!!?" Rain stuttered a bit as she questioned him. Diablo simply smiled before replying. "Someone most exalted. Simply put, my master is a being unlike any other in this world." As he was speaking, both Rain and Misery tensed up at the thought of a being who Noi- no, Diablo would willing bow down before and serve. "That still doesn't explain why you are here Diablo." Misery once again tried to get the reason for his visit.

"Ah, forgive me. I'm here on behalf of my master to see Rouge." These words puzzled both of the maids as they didn't understand what would be the best course of action in this situation. "Understood. Give me a moment to contact Guy-sama." Misery replied before activating [Thought Communication].

(Guy-sama, I'm sorry for the interruption.)

(What is it Misery? I thought I asked to not be disturbed?)

(Yes Guy-sama. However, there is an individual outside the castle at present who is asking for an audience with you.)

(Oh? And who is this individual, and what exactly do they want?)

(It's Noir, my lord. He says he's here to speak to you on behalf of his master. And... He's been named my Lord.)

At these words, Guy Crimson sat up straight on his throne. Confusion was etched on his face as he tried to figure out what was going on. He took a moment before responding.

(Very well. Escort him to the throne room.)

(It will be done at once Guy-sama.)

As she ended [Thought Communication], she turned towards Diablo once more. "If you'll follow us, Guy-sama is awaiting you in the throne room." Rain seemed somewhat surprised at Misery's words, but she didn't dare defy her lord's wish. "Kufufufu, very well then." Diablo just lightly chuckled before following the maids as they brought him to their master.

Guy POV

As I sat on my throne of ice, I held my chin thoughtfully as I tried to ponder what was about to happen. Noir had come to the physical world, received a name, and was now serving someone whom he called his master. All of this happening within several hours of this mysterious 'Rimuru' appearing. I thought that there was no way this was a coincidence. As if reading my thoughts, Velzard appeared beside me with a questioning look.

"Guy, who's presence am I feeling within the castle?" She questioned me while I sat, waiting and staring at the throne room doors. "It would appear Noir has been named and has come to visit. I do not know the full details yet, but he will be here in a moment if you'd like to stay and find out." My words seemed to peak her curiousity as she had never met Noir before. She had only heard the stories from myself, Rain, and Misery about the weirdest of the Primordials.
