Myne's POV

I woke up from my sleep the next day to see Rimuru, Elvira, Karstedt and the Archducal family already sitting together.Apparently it was a serious meeting so I took my place and Ferdinand started talking.

"So Myne we will now talk about how you will introduce yourself to everyone in the nobility of EHrenfest and also externally when going on Diplomatic visits?"

"Pardon, is there a problem with my manners? If so I can change my manners within a season or two"

"No it is not your manners we are discussing currently though that is a problem we need to address what we are discussing now is how you will refer to yourself to be blunt we need to change your name"

"Why it is not like they know my name"

"Well they may not but in the world of Nobility it is very easy to dig up your past. THe world of NObility is ruthless as it is and so we came to a conclusion that we need to change your name going forward. This is also to protect your lower city associates"

"This is where I come in with my skills. I can form an Identical medal like the one you have at your birth in Ehrenfest only the name will change and also your birth parents."

"The story we have prepared for you is this: you are the daughter of Karstedt's late third wife Rosemary; she died prematurely during childbirth. You since a young age had an abundance of mana but since you didn't have a mother you were at risk and so karstedt hid you at the temple for your safety"

Wow this is really like a soap opera. Will such a flimsy story really work in the world of nobility?

"Isn't this kind of too far-fetched like I know Lord Karstedt is the knight commander of our duchy so he should have enough power to protect me at birth right?"

"Well that would normally be the case and indeed you are correct but you had lost your mother quite early and so you lost your political support. Plus you had a lot of mana so Karstedt sent you to the temple for protection from veronica. This is the rumour we will spread so as to explain your circumstances. You will neither confirm nor deny this. As for how you came to tempest we will say you were always curious from childhood and you were under my protection since birth so you naturally turned to me for safety and followed me to Ehrenfest out of curiosity"

"Wow this story has so many holes in it if one thinks about it besides won't the truth come out if anyone from the temple decided to speak"

"We have a plan for that see this"

Ferdinand pulled out a contract but I could tell it was no ordinary contract as it was made of very high quality paper.

"This a duchy level contract and whoever signs it are bound by the rules of this contract we will make every Blue shrine maiden and priest to sign if they don't comply they will be killed fortunately for us there are not many blue priest or shrine maiden here after our duchy got transported here and there was a serious mana shortage so everyone who are here doesn't have anyone to go back to or are criminals so there shouldn't be a problem."

<The contract looks authentic and it will burn their victims in case someone breaks the contract.The effective area is this whole duchy>

'I see thanks Ifrit'

"Very well but what will be my new name?"

"That is why we gathered here today to discuss your name change"

"Can I use my name from before I came to this world?"Rimuru responded by saying

"You can but that name will not suit the names of this duchy leading to unnecessary problems"
