The crimson princess

Pov Dia,

I spent a lot of time at sea searching for other aquatic half-human species, like shark or octopus men, or something similar.

I was always accompanied by more than half of my peerage, and our singing synchronization has almost become perfect.

I often saw many boats fleeing as we approached, singing.

In my territory, we began bringing the half-human species into this place. The witches worked to create an aquatic territory, and even though it took a long time, it was almost more welcoming than their native habitat.

Five years will pass before we find them all, and if some still haven’t contacted us, we will try to locate them. During all this time, the crimson ship became one of the most terrifying legends among sailors.

There were some altercations between the different races, but simply punishing them was enough to calm things down.

Another announcement: we have succeeded in getting Diablo and Milim to join my and Sera's peerage.

Diablo was so enthusiastic that he was ready to tell everyone he was one of my subordinates.

His training, along with that of Rain and Misery, went well, and they are beginning to become perfect butlers and maids.

Grayfia has come several times to challenge Rimuru for the title of best maid, but Rimuru was too well-trained and beat her every time. However, each time Grayfia returned, the gap in their strength grew smaller, and Rimuru trained even harder to avoid bringing me any shame.

Today was the great day of the inauguration of my territory and the fulfillment of my dreams.

I stood on the balcony of my castle (which looks like Lothric Castle from Dark Souls).

This castle overlooks my vast territory, and frankly, I would have preferred it to be in a Japanese style, but I decided to save that for my home in the human world.

To piss off the entire population, I gave a very long and boring speech about love, respect, and the will of fire.

Dia: "This political system will be based on a council representing the great majority of races. Those not understood as separate races will resemble others with two or three differences. Each race will have as much influence as the others."

I spoke about this system and explained that only those I deemed worthy could sit on the council.

Dia: "I hereby declare that this territory will be called Pandemonium."

After that, the crowd burst into joy because they finally had a place of their own. I even warned them that I would accept all races in my territory, as long as they did not cause trouble within it.

Of course, if there were races known to be enemies of the majority of the people, they would most likely be orphans.

Why orphans? Because they are easier to teach respect for other races and have not yet developed the corrupted minds of adults.

After the banquet, I went to heaven to meet the four great Seraphim. They were hostile toward me at first, but I explained things peacefully, and they listened. Will used the opportunity to form a non-aggression pact between us.

She was mainly there to stop me from confessing anything to Gabriel, known for his beauty. Strangely, Sera declared Gabriel as her rival and challenged him to a friendly match. It was a nice fight, but the power of the Seraphim’s sacred strength was too overwhelming in the end.

I went home and was greeted by Rimuru, who wanted to spend some private time with me.

Dia: "I want you to take on a human form, but you remain a slime."
