My Soulmate's a Slime

Mission Accomplished..🌳

Early the next morning, Maevah made sure her husband is still deep in his sleep mode, before she tried to pull herself away from his tight grip.

Man, he maybe asleep but his protective nature works 24/7 and thus this iron clad grip.

Through their connection, she already knew what Rimuru did to her gemstones and she's much grateful. But to think, she'd suddenly become a mother of 7 beautiful daughters and an 8th baby on the way. The only one conceived and not of magicules though.

Somewhere in the middle of the night, Aryah the gemstone of air joined her sisters on Rimuru's imaginary space so she isn't there the moment the empress opened her eyes.

Well anyways...

'Let's see if we can trick this super tricky emperor back,' she thought as she carefully and slowly tried to extract her self from her husband's embrace.

'Almost there.. almost there.. yosh! Freedom!'

Glee filled her as she realized Rimuru didn't awaken during her struggle. If he happens to stir, he'd lock her for sure in a cage called loving hold and she wouldn't be able to execute her plan.

Grinning, she tiptoed to the door making sure she is completely soundless. Once she is out the door then it'd be flowers and rainbows.

The master enchantress is sure she can join the dragon slayers on their mission then.

Unaware of the smirk forming on Rimuru's lips, she carefully made her way to the door...

Her eyes widens in shock, her jaw dropping open as she gasped. Sticky threads suddenly wrapped around her wrists and feet and the next thing she knew, she was suspended in mid air. Soon she was seated on a caushion so her middle wouldn't take her weight.

Carefully turned around, Maevah saw Rimuru rose from the bed and looked at her with teasing smug smile.

Geez, when did he wake up?

Or was he even asleep in the first place?

And she was so close to escaping!

"Ah, it's been a while since my baby decided to pull something like this. I kind of missed your mischievousness, you little vixen."

Maevah frowns at the playful condenscing tone of none other than her husband.

"And where do you think you are going hmm? Sneaking away like that?"

Rimuru stood up from the bed and walked toward her, who is still in the air. A fond smile lingered on his lips as he retracted the sticky threads, except the ones binding her hands, drawing her to him.

"Tell me wifey, were you just going for a morning walk or you have some plans that you don't want your hubby to know?" he teased.

Maevah sighed giving up. She should have known that she doesn't stand a chance to begin with. Not when they are bonded way too deep.

"Fine, I was trying to see if I can escape since I know you won't let me go with the dragon slayers for this mission," she admitted with a frown.

Rimuru was taken aback. Of all the reasons he was expecting from his wife, it's the unexpected that she had chosen. Nothing less from master enchantress.

Now amused with the idea of her suggesting that-

Wait, she is determined to join so it's not a suggestion.

"Ugh, free me from these threads!"

That pulled the emperor of his trance. Looking back at Maevah, she held out her bound hands.
