Perfected Tempest

73. Raja and Raja?

                              Ultima's POV

Today I've been called to meet lord Rimuru personally. I don't know the reason as to why especially since we understand that the crusaders are heading to fight us soon enough. And we also know that they are not strong enough to face us alone. Which means that it is likely that they'll have help in some manner from a third party. But since my lord is so all knowing he'll have a plan no doubt about it. After entering his office that he has been using more and more often lately, I get to see his majestic, round, perfect form.

Ultima- "I've come at your summons my lord." I say with a low bow.

Rimuru- "Thank you for coming Ultima and please have a seat. I have a task I wish you to complete in a timely manner."

Ultima- "A task from you is but an absolute law that all must follow. I shall be your enforcer of such laws whenever you ask of me. My job is after all to be the head of your enforcement office after all." I say as I sit down at his request.

Rimuru- "Indeed but this is more than a simple request from me and is also a request from King Gazel as well."

Ultima- "My lord?"

What would that weak dwarfs name be brought up here? Is our next conquest to be Dwargon perhaps? No, if that was a case he wouldn't have said it as a request from that dwarf. But since it's a request from him it must be connected to him in some way.

Rimuru- "I need you to go to the Kingdom of Raja and deal with the demon that's causing a fuss there. It seems that it might be tied to your handy work from the past and since you've been there before, I thought it best to send you there to help the queen with her issues."

It all makes sense now. King Gazel is related to the Queen there. It's also likely that Gazel requested lord Rimuru to aid them since he can't due to a pact made with Raja in the past.

Ultima- "So my job is to help the Raja kingdom with its current issue in a timely manner before the crusaders arrive here in Tempest then."

Rimuru- "Exactly. Bring any of your subordinates if you wish but please do take care of it in a timely manner since we'll need you when the crusaders get here. Though there is another reason why I'm sending you specificity but I'll hold back on telling you that for now. I'm sure you'll known why I sent you once you get there."

Ultima- "If you say so my lord it must be true. I shall prepare to leave immediately and shall return soon enough."

After that I got up and was about to leave when the door was opened in a forceful manner. But unlike what I expected it wasn't Milim who did it but Fluffy of all people. The wide grin on his face with the glossy medal he was holding told me that he came in a rush to speak with my lord. It made me somewhat annoyed with his rude behavior in the presence of lord Rimuru. It also is a problem since I'm the head of the organization that's supposed to stop such things from happening at all. Meaning this makes me look bad in my lords presence too.

Ultima- "Open the door in a normal manner when entering or I'll send you to be educated by my men in a cell. Causing such a ruckus in my lords presence is inexcusable behavior. Leave and enter the room in a befitting manner immediately."

Fluffy then turned his head in seeming surprise at my presence here and immediately bowed and apologized to us both.

Fluffy- "Oh um, sorry, I was just to excited at my recent invention to show Rimuru that I forgot such decorum. But please do stay here as well Ultima since this might be important for you to know about in the future as well."
