The Princess of Monsters [TTIGRAAS]

Chapter 16 - The Great Jura Tempest Federation

3rd POV

Several races were gathered within the Lizardman territory, something that had never happened before in the history of this very old forest. Present were the representatives of the Lizardmen folk and Tree Spirits: The Dryads, Wasteland Orcs, Ogre Village, and a few Goblins, as well as Sophie, awaiting Rimuru's arrival. 

Meanwhile, they were busy chatting amongst themselves, and any resentment or wariness between the races waned, which was a beautiful sight—except for the Orcs, obviously. The Orc present in the room was the right-hand man of the Orc Lord. He was busy trying to accept the harsh eyes of the others. 

"You lot should wait for Rimuru-sama to arrive before uttering any nonsense about future plans," Treyni's voice echoed through the cave where the spontaneous conference room and its hallways were located. 

The fact that Treyni the Dryad said this made everyone go silent, even those who'd never met Rimuru before. As the caretakers of the Great Jura Forest, Treyni currently held the highest authority among them and, as such, was highly respected. 

Suddenly, footsteps could be heard; it was Rimuru's who was accompanied by Milim, who floated alongside her, throwing a fit as to why she needed to follow until again falling into her childish habits. "What would happen if I breathed a little fire into one of these hallways?" she asked herself. 

"You're nothing but trouble, behave. They would never go along with your play if you return just 5 minutes after leaving" Rimuru said, angered, and gave her a little smack on the head, which seemed nothing special, but Treyni and Sophie, who accurately followed it happening, shrieked together by the sheer thought of that punch hitting them. 

It shattered effortlessly any barrier Milim had put up and her hard skin to make it actually painful for her. Without a doubt, they would have a gaping hole in their body, if not die directly from it. 

"Oww- how mean of you Rimuru!!" Milim declared 

"Enough now, we have arrived" Rimuru answered

For once, Milim followed Rimuru's words without trouble and followed her to the throne, on which Rimuru sat down. Milim was sitting on one of the armrests right next to her. Treyni didn't wait for any more time to go by and announced her arrival. 

"With this, the Ruler of the Great Jura Forest and the Princess of all Monsters, Rimuru Tempest, has arrived. You better watch your manners while talking." Treyni's harsh voice made everyone acknowledge the seriousness of this meeting. 

"That is enough Treyni, thank you." With a graceful hand gesture, Rimuru suggested she step down and take a seat, too, which the Dryad did immediately after bowing shortly. 

Everyone in the room, even the Ogre or now Kijin, who had seen her like this before, were in awe at her beauty. Once more, they saw her graceful attire and attitude shining down on their insignificant selves. 

"I'll make it easy for you since I don't like wasting time. Become part of the Great Jura Tempest Federation and, with that, obtain my protection in repaying the workforce or simply survive on your own for the infinite future to come," Rimuru stated, bored. 

<<There is no error with my blessing. Right??>> Rimuru asked Ciel 

<<Indeed, it as been given to the Individual Shizue Izawa without any problems, I'll now start Master>> Ciel answered 

<<Good, make sure to listen to her wishes>> Rimuru answered, since there was something way more interesting going on than this silly meeting. Still for the sake of peace in the Forest she knew this was necessary.
