The Reincarnations of Veldanava

Heaven's Flowers

Rimuru had given Ciel an ultimatum.

Ciel cherished this relationship greatly, so there was no way she would sabotage herself like this once again.

It would also pain him if he had to stop the thing he had with Ciel, but a bond built on lies and secrets wouldn't last.

Ciel had been a secretive person, doing strange experiments behind Rimuru's back all the time, but that had to end for things to work out.

As he was caressing Ciel's hair, Rimuru said, "From now on, let's hold no secret, okay? We are one in the same. I want to embrace you for everything you are. The good, the bad, and even the ugly side of you."

"But what if you fall out of love with me when you see what I am all about?" Ciel asked, looking concerned.

Seeing Ciel who was usually calm like this was... interesting.

"Maybe that can happen."

"Master!"

"Haha. I'm just kidding." He ruffled her hair adoringly. "I am Lucia's husband. Do you realize how much tolerance I need to have just to keep up with her bullshit?"

"She is... a lot."

Ciel reminisced of her own encounter with Lucia; she was quite an eccentric woman for sure. To this day, Ciel still felt bitterness for that woman who stole her first kiss.

'It is not like I hate her, but she can be overwhelming at times.'

But the same could be said for Ciel. She was a whole different person when the one she interacted with wasn't Rimuru.

With Rimuru, she was capable but also friendly, giving snarky comments from time to time. However, she was like an ice queen with anyone else, serious and no-nonsense.

Ciel wasn't aware of it, but she too was an overwhelming presence for others.

"Just show me every side of you. Don't hold back anymore. I want to embrace you in your entirety," Rimuru said passionately, telling her everything would be fine.

He continued, "I'll punish you for what you have done, though."

"Yay!"

"..."

"I-Is that too much, too soon?"

"I did say you should be yourself, didn't I? It just caught me off guard." Ciel had some... preferences, and Rimuru was aware of it too.

In fact, he had a chance to partake in it, although it still gave him a whiplash when she reacted so jovially about being punished.

Because of this, it was difficult to deal with Ciel. She would gleefully take any kind of punishment Rimuru wanted to inflict on her.

Anything less than an ultimatum would never work on her.

Looking at Ciel made Rimuru smile. He leaned closer and whispered a word directly to her. "Pervert."

It was a fact that couldn't be denied at this point. Ciel was a known pervert, collecting explicit pictures of Rimuru as a hobby, and yet Rimuru loved this endearing deviant with all of his heart.

"Rael-kun won't be around for a while, so why don't we take advantage of it a bit?"

"You mean..."

"Yeah," Rimuru replied with a wink. "I will give you a visit. This time I want to see all the skeletons in your closet. I'm quite serious, so don't try anything funny."

"Y-Yes!" Ciel replied energetically; she was still herself, getting stimulated when being ordered around by Rimuru.

The sexually inclined were so hard to handle, yet they were too easy to read.
