Perfected Tempest

31. Girl Talk and Revival

Ciel's POV

It is difficult to get my husband to not make women fall for him. Especially monster girls. It doesn't help that he likes to name people if they either don't have one or hate the one they have. Even I had his charms take me completely. But his recent additions are questionable to me. As he once said to me I have the final say on who gets in or not so I'll probe them for information on how they feel about him. I'll do them at the same time to create pressure so if one admits to it all will likely follow to not fall behind the others. The demons competitive nature causes much chaos to this recruitment process. The two kijin were simple enough due to their culture being similar to my husband's old one. I managed to convince them to agree to my terms quite quickly. They are keeping their distance for now either due to their shyness or not currently being able to due to timing. Shuna has this problem due to being with her brother whose loyalty is still growing yet, though after this battle it likely will fully develop. I have asked them to also give Rimuru more time due to him being so focused on building his nation first. We all agree our children should have a safe place to call home first before we can....... Begin if you will. I'm unsure if Rimuru will last long on the first night from how the roster is forming. Some unexpected additions might add themselves either out of fear or genuine love for who my husband is. Those elves I'll have to watch closely I know my husband's fondness for them well. Anyways these demons are a possible danger to the current balance I've achieved so far with the others and I worry they'll want to join us so I'll simply ask them while they have their guards down. I've ask my daughter to inform the other two demons of less worry of my probing but the third is more intriguing since she's been with him longer. Since it's likely she'll agree the others might follow like dominoes after. Filtering through them is critical to my plans success.

Ciel- "Hello Testarossa, Carrera, Ultima, I'm the mother of Rimuru's first child Sasha and I've got an important discussion to have with all of you. I would wait but the situation might escalate if I don't soon so I must ask you now instead of later. What do you think of your current master?"

Testarossa- "Mistress I can answer that for you right away since I have been with him the longest out of all of us demons. He is the most important thing to me currently as he has given me everything I've ever wanted freely and more. Reviving my oldest friend along with giving me the strength I've always dreamed of makes my loyalty long ago his. Though there is more to it but I'm not sure of what it is."

Ultima- "I haven't been apart of his group for as long but I feel similar in that he gave me everything I've ever wanted to have in this world. I love his strength and how he seems to fear not me or anyone else here. Even guy or Noir feel some unease when confronted by all three of us but when we first appeared he seemed to only feel angry at our harmed selves instead. I've never felt such joy as to have someone else care so much about me despite never meeting them before. It makes me feel all warm inside that he genuinely cares for me as a person despite knowing who and what I am."

Ciel- (Oh I very much believe if he knew what your true self was beyond what you once were around him he'd act very differently than he does.)

Carrera- "I'm with Ultima on how it felt to have milord show such care for us despite never knowing us personally. Working for such an individual brings me nothing but more pride than I had before. I only wish to understand why after he named us without hesitation did he not try to use only us as weapons in his army but instead as people?"

Ciel- "That is a simple question to answer Carrera. Because he has many others as strong as you all are or will be after he evolves them again. Your mastery over magic is great to deal with large weak army's like this one is but we also want our average troops to fight and grow stronger as well. But more than that my husband hates forcing women to go to war as a byproduct of his morals of old. He won't force them to not fight but he would rather they get to enjoy the company of those they care about. It's a lingering attachment he has from his past life before this one."
