Rimuru POV:

It has been a Month since I gained My Status, and since then I was finally allowed to trained in Magic and Swordsmanship, of course I didn't need to train in both, since I pretty much mastered Swordsmanship with the help of Hakorou and Chloe, with Ciel giving me pointers to become better and stronger than my teachers, which is weird since Chloe is my student as well, but after training for about a Year and a Half, I was able to create my own Sword Style Originally Named «Tempest Arts»

And with Magic, I was able to easily master it, with the teachings of Ciel, since according to Ciel, I more talented in the Art of Magic more than the Art of The Sword, which I was a little disappointed about, since you know Swords and Magic, out of the two, I want swords since, you can pretty much shock people more easily with swords, especially if the swordsman is able to cut a Magic Spell in half

Of course I didn't really dwell in it for far too long, so right now, I'am in the Royal Library to read about the Important things in this world, or the things that are Allowed in the Public Eyes and Ears, and of course I could just asked Ciel for Information, I can get it no problem, and besides that the Information I gain would be the most Accurate and the Truest form of Information

But I didn't since with the simple reason of me gaining a passion of ready books, since after reading paper work for hundreds of years, I just gained a passion for reading apparently, which I didn't really mind since my only hobby when I didn't have anything to do, is to explore the Multiverse and test taste there delicious delicacies

Of course I did use Ciel for somethings, like for example, my family line and there personalities, if there personalities are the exact same that they written about in the History Books and most of all the Great World War

And thankfully everything written in the books of the Public and the Royal Library is telling the truth, so I'am thankful for that, and you might be wondering why I wanted to know this right? 

Simple really, Enemies 

The Kingdom of Arcadia Tempest and the Royal Family of Tempest, has many Enemies, this is more apparent in the other Kingdoms that envied the Mighty and Wealthy Kingdom, and the other lesser being in the Nobles and Criminals

The reason for this animosity of the other Kingdoms is simple because of the Great World War, because of all of the Kingdoms waging war against each other, it is only natural that many also attacked the Kingdom, but because of the Strength of the Nation at that time was strong, Tempest was able to destroy the Invading Armies and even demand compensation because of the damages cost, making the other Kingdoms that attack lose a lot of there capital, resulting in there Army because dissolved because of the lack of funding

For the Nobles and Criminals, it's because of my Ancestor, the 94th King of Tempest, because of my Ancestor wanting to make the Commoners lives to become better, my Ancestor just went to a big reformat of the nation, by using the treasuries money, he was able to destroy and rebuilt all of the Buildings, with the added bonus of finding criminal dens in the Capital, and after an Investigation of the Noble Houses, my Ancestor essential strip there Noble Titles and took all of there Expensive Items like there Mansions and Properties, and with there riches as well, the reason for this is because of them being Incredible Corrupt

Because of this, there were many Nobles back then Instantly lose there Nobility, from what Ciel told me, about a hundred Nobles was strip of there Nobility, while there corrupt Nobles that didn't lose there Nobility, but instead was forever stayed as a Baron ranking with there Riches and Properties mostly taken, the reason for this is simple because of them not being as corrupt as the other Nobles

Of course there are Nobles that isn't Corrupt, because of that, those Nobles was except from the Punishments and was even awarded 100 Star Gold Coins, because of them not being Corrupt

But that wasn't all, when the 94th King discovered the Nobles and all of there crimes, he was disgusted and to prevent this from happening, the 94th King decided to seek helped from the Elves, since the Elves are know to be Extremely Benevolent, and has a Racial Skill that allows them to detect Malicious Intent from other People

And after further investigation from Ciel, it is also been said that the Elves knows of Corrupt beings just by seeing them first hand, of course defining a corrupt being is quite difficult, since it truly depends on the perspective really 

So when the 94th King knows of these, he personally went to the Elven Forest, which is a Month long carriage ride, of course the King didn't really mind to wait that long, and when he arrived, he was arrested by the Elves since there eyes looked at him as a Corrupt Being 

The Guards who was with the King, was about to attack the Elves for there disrespect of the King, but the King stopped them and just asked them to returned to the Kingdom and informed his Wife the Queen to be the Ruler for a bit longer, which the Knights hesitated but in the End all of them follow the King's Orders

The Elves seeing this was surprised, so they decided to hold a Trial to the King out of respect for his Kind behavior towards the Elven Forest, and with that he was put on Trial, with the first question being 

" The Great and Wise King of the The Great Kingdom of Tempest, the 94th King - King Gawain, may I inquire on why you are here? " The King of the Elven Forest asked King Gawain 

To this question presented to him, Gawain then went to his knees and bowed down in respect to the King, making the Elves looked at Gawain surprised once more, since from there experience Humans was always greedy and selfish, so they truly appreciated Gawain's behavior so far

" The Great King of the Elven Forest, King Alfy, I came here because of my request?! So please here me out? " Hearing the words, Alfy just looked at Gawain and then looked around and saw the his own Subjects was looking at him, making him nod in satisfaction 

" Very well, what my that be King Gawain? " Hearing the opportunity to speak, he then looked at Alfy with his calm expression, but Alfy saw there was excitement and joy in his eyes, but he didn't comment in it, since those eyes didn't project any malicious Intent

" Thank you for this King Alfy. My request is to gain a few Elves that specialized in Stealth and Assassination " Hearing the words, every Elf in the Trial, Immediately voiced out there complaints now

" What?! Is he out of his mind?!! "

" How can you asked that of the Great King?!! "

" And here I thought you would be a Wise King, because of your Blessing from Goddess Sophia!! "

Such words was being voiced out against Gawain, but the King in question, didn't mind the harsh words and just looked at King Alfy for his words, and with that King Alfy raised his hand demanding silence from the Audience, making them be silenced

" Why do you want Elves? King Gawain? " To this question, King Gawain then stood up 

" The reason for my request, is that I don't trust the Nobles and My Future Descendants " Now that caught King Alfy's attention 

" You don't trust your own People? " To this question King Gawain nodded 

" Yes. It is true that with the Goddess of Wisdom's Blessing, Me, My Ancestors before me, and the Descendants that would exist after me, would be far more Smarter and Wiser than most Mortals, but we can still be corrupted with Greed as well, and after the major reformat that I did in my Kingdom, did I finally realized it, that even the Nobles that once helped and was friends with the The First King, there Descendants became Corrupted with Greed, so what to say that I wouldn't happen in the Royal Family as well? " Now that made King Alfy smirked 

" You are truly a Wise King "

" Hehehe~ Of course, I did Inherent the Blessing of Wisdom, of Goddess Sophia "

" Very well, but before I accept your Request, you must do something for me, will you accept? " To this Gawain nodded 

' I must gained the Elves, with that, The Kingdom would truly become Prosperous ' 

" You must become one of us! " Now that caught Gawain off guard

" On- One of you? " Faced with the question, King Alfy nodded 

" Yes. You must lived with us Elves, and see our way of life, with that you will know why we branded you as a corrupt being "

Hearing the answer, Gawain nodded and then smiled at the answer

" Very well!! For the Good of my Kingdom, I shall stay here as long as I can, for the good of my Kingdom! "

With that, King Gawain stayed in the Elven Kingdom for 10 Years, and in those years, he fully integrated himself to the Elven Way of Life, and with his job of King, King Alfy with his long years of life, decided to teach Gawain on becoming a King

With that out of the way, King Gawain returned to his Kingdom of Tempest, with 100 Elves that specialized in Stealth and Assassination with him, when he returned the Kingdom celebrated his own return, of course the Elves didn't follow him to the Kingdom in the Public, but they followed him in the shadows

When the Citizens saw his triumph return, they Immediately celebrated and saw that there King was both Stronger and Wiser than ever before, but unlike last time when he was in town he would happily greet them and even stay with them for a little bit, but this time however, he merely greeted them with a wave and then continued on towards to the Palace, which the Citizens didn't really blamed him, since they thought he must want to meet his wife and children after a long time

After the heartfelt reunion between the King and Queen, Gawain Immediately revealed the Elves and there purpose, the Queen hearing this didn't reject it, since it is well know that the Elves are Benevolent Creatures and absolutely hates Malicious Creatures, so she happily welcomed them

With that Gawain then created the Shadow Corps, which is a secret corps that only consist of Elves and them only having Three Jobs

1 They must report Corrupt Nobles to have them Arrested, but if there far too Corrupt, they can kill the Noble/s

2 They must go undercover and lived in the Noble territories, and then rate them from 1 to 100, and critique, on what the Elves rates are almost everything, from Living Standard, Payment, Security, Crime Rate and of course the Prosperity of the whole Territory

3 If the Royal Family is becoming Corrupt, the Shadow Corps have permission to kill the the Corrupt Member or if they can be saved from the Corruption, then the Shadow Corps must saved the Royalty from Corruption, but if the whole Royal Family is corrupt, then the Shadow Corps must kill the Royal Family, with the Shadow Corps adopting The Youngest of the Royal Family with the Child going to the Elven Kingdom to be train on how to lead the Kingdom

With those three rules in placed, The Shadow Corps roam the whole Kingdom in the shadows, without the watchful eyes of the Public, because of this Corps in placed, Gawain rest easy in his heart that no Corruption would ever reach his Kingdom

Of course because of the duty of the Shadow Corps, the only Individuals that only knows of there Existence, are the Royal Family and the Elven Royal Family and the Elven Lords

After the establishment of the Corp, King Gawain then spent all of the Riches he acquired on the confiscated Riches of the Corrupt Nobles, in things like the Roads, Bridges, New Schools, More Farm Lands and etc, etc 

Because of this, Gawain is mostly called The King of the People, for his deeds of doing everything for the good of his people

Of course all of the Previous Kings and Kings after Gawain, can also be called the King of the People, but the reason why they aren't, is simple because Gawain is the one that cause the Greatest Change in the Kingdom

And of course the existence of the Corps was spend dividends, when The 143th King of Tempest, King Aldomaris, became the thing that King Gawain feared the Most, he became Corrupt 

King Aldomaris at first was a kind and benevolent ruler, but after he married his 5th Wife, Queen Anastasia, he change, it is unknown what happened, but after the Investigation of Ciel, Queen Anastasia curse King Aldomaris into becoming the Complete Opposite of his true self, and slowly but surely, he became Corrupted 

The Reason why Queen Anastasia did this, is simple because of her Lineage, Queen Anastasia's family is the Former Royal Family of Gustav, The Gustav Royal Family is the Kingdom that once Existed a Thousand Years Ago, but the King of that time, was extremely greedy, with that he thought he could overthrown the Strength of the Kingdom of Tempest and became the Next Great Dynasty, but his hopes was dash 

Because of the Strategic Mind of the King of Tempest of that time, The Kingdom of Gustav was easily destroyed, and since then, the Gustav Royal Family has the Supreme Grudge and Hatred against the Tempest Royal Family

Since then, the Gustav Family has been training there Blessing to the Fullest to realized it's full potential, and there Blessing came from the God Armaros, The God of Curses and Evil 

With that blessing, The Gustav Family was able to Curse a Duke Family of Tempest to take in Anastasia, and with her just waiting for King Aldomaris to come close to her, and her mission of destroying the Kingdom of Tempest would be complete

But what she didn't expect was for The King to Marry her, of course she didn't really thought of it, since now she would be able to stick close to the King, and just curse him, and so she did, but something unexpected happened 

She fell in Love

Queen Anastasia, fell in love with the person she was suppose to Kill and Curse, but after spending time with him, she also fell in love with the King, and normally this would the Happy Ending, but this isn't fiction 

When the Gustav Family noticed her feelings for the King, The Gustav Family instead curse her to forever have her hatred for the Tempest Royal Family, with that, the Ever Loving Queen quickly became an Emotionless Tool full of Hatred for the Royal Family

And with that Aldomaris was Curse, and he became a Tyrant to the People, the change was so sudden that the Citizens and the Royal Family was in shocked, in fact even the Shadow Corps was in shocked because of the sudden change of the Idealistic King

But nonetheless like there Role was supposed to be, The Shadow Corp's was dispatched to take out the King, but that there was only 1 Problem to that, The King himself was powerful

Because of the doctrine that the 10th King of Tempest imposed, Every Member of the Royal Family must be both Powerful and Wise, and King Aldomaris was indeed Powerful, to the point he was classified as one of the 20 Strongest Beings in his Era 

Because of his Power, even if all of the Elves of the Shadow Corp's were to team up, they still have a big chance of losing, but they did have support, the Eldest Children of the Tempest Family joined in to help the Shadow Corp's in killing there Father, since as much as they hate on doing it, they know that would be the thing that there father would want

With that after a lengthy battle, King Aldomaris was defeated along with the 5th Queen Anastasia, and in his dying moments, the two was broken off there Curse, making the Shadow Corps and his Children realized what truly happened 

" My King, we must hurry and treat you up!! " One of the Elves hurriedly spoke to the King, making the rest of the Elves that can used Magic, go to the King

" I'am so- Sorry!! " Then they heard the cries of the 5th Queen, making the rest looked at her confused

" If*Hic* It wasn't *Hic**Hic* For me, non of this *Hic* Would have happen! " Anastasia cried, making everyone present, looked at her with pity, especially the Elves, when they investigated her, before the battle, they were able to see her true Lineage of being a Gustav, with that they simple thought she was the reason for the King's sudden tyranny 

But after the Battle, they then realized, she too was merely a pawn in the Scheme of the Gustavs, so they change there plans of executing her, into saving her from the influence of the Gustavs 

" It's.. Okay... Clark " When the Eldest Child heard of his father, calling for him, he then knelt down to his father, while the Elves was healing both Aldomaris and Anastasia

" What is it Father? " When the Father his son, he smiled 

" You will be.. The Next King " Now that made everyone surprised, and with that Clark Tempest became the 144th King

With that Aldomaris then looked at the Captain of the Shadow Corp's, Aldowin 

" Aldowin.. Don't speak of the truth, to the public " Now that order surprised, the Elves, but for the Children of Aldomaris, they Instantly realized what there Father was planning on doing 

" But why my King? " 

" The Public, needs someone to blame for my Rule, I don't have the heart to blame a broken family " With that those words, Aldowin now realized what Aldomaris was planning 

' His planning on turning himself as the scapegoat!! ' It is truly funny, when Aldowin first saw King Aldomaris, he initially thought he wasn't worthy to be King, but now he was proven wrong yet again

" I... I accept the Order.... My King " With those words, Aldomaris then did something no one would have suspected 

" I'am the King of Tyranny!! King Aldomaris Tempest: The 143th King of the Tempest!! " With those Words, he then looked at Anastasia with loving eyes, and then looked at his 4 Children with proud eyes " I. Loved every last one of you.. So please take care of your Mothers.. And your Little Sister for me " With those words being said 

He then gathered his Mana to his 'Heart' and with his Advance manipulation of his own Mana, he was able to destroy it, and with that he killed himself, by destroying his own Soul

Leaving everyone in shocked, with that they then looked at the 5th Queen and saw she too has gone to the after life, which sadden the everyone in the vicinity, but before anyone could react, Aldowin then knelt down to the Queen and then covered his right hand in Green Aura and with that he then touched her Stomach with that a flash of light blinded everyone

" Ahh! Ahhhh! " Seconds later, they then heard a baby's cries, making everyone looked at Aldowin, with the baby in his hand 

From that onward, the baby between King Aldomaris and Queen Anastasia was sent to The Elven Kingdom for training to be a proper princess, of course that wasn't the only reason why, the Princess was taken away, since there was multiple reason for this 

The first is the Gustav Family, if they found out about the Baby, they would do anything to get her, and to make her there Puppet Princess, since with her blood being that of a Gustav and Tempest, she has a large possibility of becoming King, so with that, the Royal Family decided to bring her to the Elven Kingdom, so that the Gustav's would escape and forget about her 

The Second is to train her, because of  her Blood belonging to two Royal Household that existed 2 thousand years ago, there's a high possibility of her gaining two Blessings, if not, then she would definitely have a large Magic Capacity 

The Third is the People, Royal Family decided to honor King Aldomaris's last wish and became a scapegoat, forever staining his name as the Tyrannical King, because of her just being a baby, there's a large chance that the Citizens would blame her also

" Truly, this Kingdom is truly interesting " I thought, then suddenly everything went black

Of course I didn't react since I already know who the person who did this to me

" Oh~ Who is it?~ " Hearing the childish female voice, made me sigh 

" Can you please, removed your hands, Fuka-Oneesama! "

" Ehhhh~ " Hearing the complaining voice I once again sigh, but thankfully she did removed her hands from my eyes, with that I then turned around and saw my Older Sister

Fuka Arcadia Tempest, is a 6 year girl with short Platinum Blonde Hair with Crimson Eyes, she comes of as a domineering young girl with an aura that holds both Arrogance and Mischievousness

" Oh~ What is my Cute Little Sister reading? " Fuka said to me, while going to my reading table to see the book that I'am reading

" Oh~ So your reading our Glorious Kingdom's History!! You should have just asked me Rimuru-Chan~! So that we can spend time together " Yeah, that's why I don't spend time with you

For you see, Fuka has a Siscon attitude to me, in fact everyone of my Siblings are extremely doting to me actually, and of course I just thought all of this was simple faking it at first, but with Ciel's help, this is truly there attitude towards me, and out of all of my Siblings Fuka is by far the most affectionate to me and is now In Love with me, which she isn't even hiding 

Since she would always tail me around the whole Castle, to see who i liked to Interact with, if it was a Servant of the Castle, she would warm the Servants to not make fall in love with them or that they shouldn't fall in love with me

But if it's one of my Siblings, she would spy on me and any one of my siblings, and see why I liked them and then change her style to make me like her 

And you're wondering why I know thing you asked? 

Because of Ciel and Multiversal Detection, making me know what she is doing and her end goal is to marry me

Fuka Arcadia Tempest Goal: Marry Rimuru Arcadia Tempest
