The crimson princess

Pov Dia,

They told us everything they knew, including the location of the majority of the troops and the whereabouts of their five other siblings, who were in the capital of this territory. Grayfia should be there. I immediately informed Oni-sama to start moving toward this location, but we should arrive before him.

I also learned more about this Dragon. Her name is Millim Nava, and she is an orphan. The Satans managed to bring her into their camp by promising her exciting fights. Being still a child, promising her that and giving her food was enough to make her join their side.

After they had told us everything they knew, I plunged a dagger into their hearts to make sure they were dead. They did die, but 15 minutes later, just as we were considering our next move, we heard their voices.

Misery: "We said we wouldn’t die."

Bleu: "It just took a bit more time because we were only two."

They explained that the more of them there are, the faster they recover.

Misery: "Now that we’ve won our bet, you must take us as your servants."

Rimuru: "Dia-sama."

Dia: "What is it, Rimuru?"

Rimuru: "Instead of taking them as servants, couldn’t you entrust them to me so I can make them maids? Their 'maid power' is strong enough that they won’t embarrass the other maids if you let me train them."

Dia: "The maid what?"

Rimuru: "Maid power. It’s the ability of a maid that determines how skilled she is. The higher the maid power, the better the maid."

Dia: "Do as you wish. Since they fought me without honor, I’ll let you train them."

Rimuru: "Thank you, Dia-sama."

I could sense that I had just sent Misery and Bleu to hell when I saw the intense aura radiating from Rimuru, and the two girls clinging to each other, terrified.

Misery: "Please, Dia-sama, don’t leave us alone with her."

She received a harsh slap from Rimuru.

Rimuru:" A maid is not allowed to make a request to her mistress, unless she rewards the maid but she must remain humble."

Yes, I had indeed sent them to hell.

We headed to the capital with the majority of our troops, while the rest went to face the other forces stationed in different cities. Rimuru took Rain and Misery to Scathach-sensei, asking her to train them a little while we fought.

When we encountered the enemy commanders, Ruval took charge, leading our troops while we maneuvered around them. Eventually, we came face-to-face with a group led by a devil with red hair.

Rouge: "It’s a pleasure to finally meet Dia Gremory."

Dia: "It’s a pleasure to meet you too. But I have a question: will you surrender now, or fight before becoming my servant?"

Rouge: "If any of us were to accept you as our mistress, the rest would also have to submit. But first, we want to see your true power."

Dia: "If that’s the case, I’ll have to fight you. Since you won’t die, this will be a fight to the death. If you die and then revive, you will enter my service. If I die, you continue the war without anyone to serve. Is that acceptable to you?"

Rouge: "That’s acceptable to us."

Rimuru and Sera separated from me to go fight Millim and Grayfia, respectively. After watching them, I turned back to the five devils and noticed the one with black hair kneeling before me.

Noir: "I, Diablo, submit myself to you, Dia-sama, and humbly ask you to take me as your servant."

Rouge, Blanc, Violet, Jaune, and I: "Naniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!"
