3rd Person POV

Once both Moss and Shinsha left, Testarossa turned to face Titania. Before Testarossa could even say anything, Titania lifted her hand in the air, showing that she has no plans to fight.

"I have no plans to fight you." Titania spoke up.
"I find that hard to believe."

"Hoh? Why is that? You do know that if I wanted to harm my niece, I could have done so plenty a times."

"I know. That is the exact reason why I am willing to atleast hear you out."

"Haha. Very well. I am Titania Izawa, one of the strongest heroes of our world. My speciality is flame and sword, but I am quite adept at using guns as well. As for commanding am army, it really isn't my forte and I usually leave it to my trusty subordinates."

"... I didn't ask for your military background, but the information is still appreciated. I am Testarossa, one of the Twelve Patrons of Demon Lord Rimuru. I specialise in death magic and my weapon of choice is a whip."

After hearing Testarossa's introduction, Titania nodded and a deathly silence fell across the room. The first one to break the silence was Testarossa.

"Does princess know about your full name?"
"Huh? Where did that come from? ... I don't think so. Why do you ask?"

"Well, it's just that you share a common surname with a hero that I know. Just like you, she has a very high fire affinity, so I thought that you might be related to her. Her name is Shizue Izawa, did it ring a bell?"

"Hmm... Shizue.... Shizue.... Shizue.... Nope. I don't remember anyone on our family being named Shizue. Though she could be from the side branch of the family, but I doubt that. If she introduced herself as an Izawa, then I am sure I would know about her." Titania said as she nodded her head sideways.

"Well, I thought you might know her, but it isn't a surprise, considering the time dilation between the two worlds, she might have been from the past or the future." Testarossa said.

"Anyways. That's not what I really wanted to know. What I want to know is what you are doing here now? Why approach the princess now?"

"Well, I am sorry that I got to find out about her existence late!" Titania said in a sarcastic tone.

"You have no idea how hard it was for me to get information about her out from Sakura. Sakura was no tight-lipped that it took me a year and lots of gifts to get this information out of her. Obviously, it was worth it to meet my cute and adorable niece."

Testarossa might not know about Titania, but she definitely knew about Sakura, Rimuru's blood sister in his previous life.

"Rimuru-sama never told me about him having any sister called Titania." Rimuru had given the Twelve Patrons and since other higher ups a background history of his and Ciel's past life. This was done because many people were questioning who Ciel was.

As such Testarossa knew atleast the basic fact that Titania was no sister of Rimuru.

"Well, I am not her blood sister to be exact. Our bond runs far deeper. After all, we spent nearly ten years on the battlefield with each other, covering for each other's mistake and helping each other. I wouldn't be lying when I say that I have spent more time with him than Ciel when she was still alive." Titania told her.

Testarossa understood this very well. Bonds that are made during wars, when people put their life on the line and fight alongside each other are something undescribable. These bonds are much stronger than what any bond of blood could be. She herself had seen many people who formed such bonds when she was a advisory of Blanche.

"I don't trust you, to be honest. But seeing as you have not harmed the Princess, and even went as far as helping her to grow stronger, I will give you a chance. I won't do anything to you until harm us." Testarossa said.

"Hmm... That's good. Thank you for trusting me. Anyways, I wanted to ask you what would be a good gift to give to Shinsha?"

Testarossa was surprised at Titania's question. It wasn't like Shinsha's birthday was close, it was still quite a few months away. So she didn't understand why Titania wanted to give her a gift. But more than that, seeing that she was calling Shinsha by her name made her mood sour.

"Why do you want to give her a gift? Her birthday is still a few months away."

"Oh please.... As her aunt, it is my duty to give her a present, atleast the first time we met. Unfortunately, I didn't take into account that she would be a dragon. So the gift that I had prepared for her became obsolete."

"What did you prepare?"

"This." Titania said as she brought out a gun. Testarossa tried to analyse the gun, but was met with a pleasant surprise as she analysed it.

The base material of the gun was Draconic Ore, a special type of ore that only forms when a metal is bathed in too much of dragon aura.

The grip of the gun was made of Dragon Skin of atleast a Dragon Lord. All the white base reinforcement on the main body was done with a scale which was dropped from a dragon on the same level as a True Dragon. The finer details were all made of parts from dragons.

"This is...?"

"Dracoblaze. A one of a kind weapon. It can be used at any range. With the modifications done to it, it can even be used as a sword. It can even hit targets that are hundreds of kilometres away." Titania explained with a proud look on her face.

"Why not give this to the princess? I am sure she will like it. After all, just like Rimuru-sama, Princess likes to collect high end weapons as well." Testarossa said as if it was obvious what Titania should do.

"But, isn't she a dragon? Won't the fact that this gun is made of Dragon materials, you know, traumatize her?" Titania asked. Hearing this question, Testarossa broke out in a laugh.

"You really believe that? Princess understands the law of Survival of the Fittest the most. If it was when she was still young, I could have understood your worries, but right now? They are stupid. If you want to give this to her as a gift, feel free to do so. She will most definitely not care that it was made of Dragon materials." Testarossa said with a smirk.

3rd Person POV
At the arena in the God's Realm...

As time passed by, the fight of two groups were coming to an end. As Rimuru and Guy continued to be stuck in a deadlock against Knox, it was Ruminas and Leon who were now having the most important role. Rudra, Zegion, Ramiris and Yuuki were all observing the fight from afar.

Milim who had just finished defeating all the underlings apart from the one that Leon and Ruminas were fighting, was faced with an important decision, whether to help Rimuru, or to help the earthlings.
