"Is it safe to assume that the Dynasty Sarion wouldn't hold any hostility against us, right?"

"Absolutely, we are not affiliated with Luminism in any kind to go against Tempest. We don't have any reason to challenge Tempest nor have the intention of doing so. "

"That's assuring, this is a good chance to start  trades within our kingdom don't you think?"

I proposed

"W-we can start with building passageways and roads between our kingdom first before coming up with a conclusion, with all due respect we cannot trust someone we just have met. To be honest I am conflicted on the way Demon lord Rimuru trusts anyone."

I can't help but admit he is right, I might be a time traveler which already knows their personalities. But depending on the situation these guys might become enemies if circumstances go wrong.

I really wanted to give him some leeway but just as Elalude is trying his best, his daughter spoke.

"Hey Papa why are you taking so long?" Ellen stammered.

"Ellen sweetie Papa is trying his best for Sarion too"

"Rimuru is not an evildoer just accept that."

"O-of course, I-i understand...b-but"

Oh boy, Ellen is pushing Elalude on the edge, like that.

"No buts."                                                                 

"Thank you for your persuasion, but Elalude has a point."

"I know that but I wanted to at least persuade my father for you."

"I know I know"

"Uhm, what is Demon Lord Rimuru's involvement with my Ellen?"

"It's complicated... for some reason, Ellen is in my safekeeping."

"What?! Ellen my sweetie! I didn't hear anything about you moving out!"

"No no no no it's not like tha-"

"I'm not a baby anymore, I independently decided to stay in Rimuru's shed. This is where I decided to build a house."

"But! sweetheart isn't this a little sudden?"

"No, my decision is final. From now on, I will be working here in Tempest freely outside of your care."

"Well, Tempest is a free kingdom that supports democracy, sort of. If Ellen wanted to stay she is more welcome."

A multitude of nerves popped off on his forehead.

"So that's how is it, you vile Demon Lord. How dare you seduce my sweet daughter."

Clearly, Elalude is lunging himself towards me. If not for the noble rooks restraining him.

"P-please wait Mister Archduke, we can't fight this Demon lord. He is a Catastrophe, A Catastrophe!"

Recommended by the rooks.

"Shut up, I can't let my sweetheart get seduced by this evil Demon Lord!"

"Elalude, we just formed a joint trade and diplomatic connection with Tempest, Dwargon, Sarion, Western Council, Farmenas, Western Saints Church, and some Demon Lord domains. Can you really shatter that just because of your overprotectiveness?"

King Gazelle asked.

"Shut up, I don't wanna hear that coming from the Dwarf who hid in the cave for years!"
