My Soulmate's a Slime

Mystery in the Forest of Jura..🌳

"Maevah!"

The high enchanter looks back to see her soulmate speeding her way and engulfing her in a hug.

"Hmmp, I'll be missing you so much!" Rimuru announces giving Maevah a tight squeeze, and the lady could only chuckle.

"Hey now, don't be quite dramatic. You and the others are only leaving for a week," she croons nuzzling her face affectionately on the Tempest ruler's neck.

"I know. It's just that I am so used to being around you now so we parting for a week is quite unbearable. I mean it!"

"Alright, alright, I get what you mean. Cause I feel the same. But you still are a king and have a duty to all of Tempest. You need to go."

Rimuru sighed resignedly at the reply. "Right. Since Tempest is being acknowledged left and right, I needed to attend this gathering. Hay, talk about the downside of ruling."

"Would you rather be alone as you were before, then?"

"Hmmmp?"

The slime raised his head triggered by his woman's way of reminding things. Why is she good at this? No wonder Zeref told him she'd always win at debates.

"Hey now! That's mean! No need to guilt trip me! I am doing all I can to be a ruler everyone loves and trust. So don't remind me of those lonely boring days!"

A wide smile adorned Maevah's lips. "See, you will be just fine. Cause this alone shows how much you really cares for everyone. Tempest is fortunate to have you, love."

Rimuru's eyes softened at that. He gently pulled his soulmate back in his arms kissing her forehead.

"And I am fortunate and grateful to have them by my side. They may depend on me most of the time like a child to their parents but without them, my life has no meaning. And now that you are here with me, I couldn't ask for more, Maevah. I will always be thankful for this second chance of love," he confessed warming the lady's heart.

She is fortunate too to have found another family in the name of Tempest and her to have been granted with a soulmate like Rimuru.

Noir materializing behind Maiah who by then was busy painting was startled, she almost jump from her seat.

"You scared me, dude!" She smacked him right on the neck and the butler winced at the impact.

"Darling, no need to get handsy on me everytime I come see you. That hurts," he complains not lying on the fact that it really does hurt. Maiah tends to release powers unconciously so it added to the pressure.

"It's your fault for appearing all of a sudden. You almost gave me a heart attack!" The lady retorts pointing her paint brush at him.

Noir shook his head flabbergasted. He can never win with this princess. He got used to her complex mood sometimes and he even finds it endearing.

It may sound weird to some but that's how he's whipped and hooked with his soulmate.

"Ah, I apologize, my lady." He bows leaving Maiah dumbfounded at his always dramatic actions. He could be an actor and could win an Oscar easy peasy.

"Now then, I want my fill of kisses for the week, darling," his eyes formed into cresents as he demanded his kisses.

"Huh?!" The lady blurts in disbelief.

"Kisses my foot! No! Never!" She denies firmly just to see the famous 'try me' smirk of Noir.

Man, she's in for doses of trouble.
