On the outskirts of the village Riverwood
________________________________________
5 soldiers can be seen surrounding a little girl outside a carraige when one of them spoke fearfully.
"Your majesty what is that abomination you have brought here?!" He holds his hand on his swords hilt ready to strike the second that creature makes a move.
The creature in question is a small blue blob that the little girl is holding. She looks at the soldier and asks.
"Abomination? What does that mean?" she walks closer and the soldier backs up a little.
"Oh, do you mean Rimuru? Don't worry he won't hurt you." She says with a smile.
"How can we be sure of that miss? That... thing could be dangerous." He says warily.'Did she give it a name?'
"Oh, don't worry he's not. " She says cheerfully. "Hey, Rimuru tell them."
The blob moves around a little and suddenly speaks."Don't worry, I won't attack unless you do first."
After he spoke there was an audible silence for a few seconds.
"It can speak?" One of the soldier say not knowing what was happening.
Two people suddenly came from behind the guards. One of them was a man with fine clothes on and a red beard while the other looked like royalty. She was a beautiful woman with what looked to be a tailor made dress and was walking gracefully towards them.
"What is going on here?" The woman asks as they walk closer.One of the soldiers speak up.
"Your majesty, it appears that the miss has brought some kind of creature to us." The soldier says and makes way for them to walk through.
"Rimuru is not a creature he is my friend!" Alice says and begins to puff up her cheeks.
"Rimuru? Did you give it a name my dear?" The woman asked.
"No, that's just my name." The slime says and a small tentacle like limb sticks out and begins to wave.
The woman was stunned and didn't know what to do. Not only was her daughter holding something that she has never seen before, but it could also speak. Seeing that the woman was stunned the man behind her began to talk.
"Ok, so since you can speak I want to ask you. Do you intend to harm our lady in any way?" The man asks while a small drop if sweat foes down his forehead.
"No, Why would I do that?" The slime asks with a question mark appearing above his head.
The guards calm down while woman sighs in relief. The man speaks again."Ok so what do you want from us?" He asks with caution.
"Nothing, I just didn't have anything else to do." The slime says while getting more comfortable in the arms of Alice.
"So, I told him that he could come with us!" Alice says while shaking him around a little.'Man just when I was getting a nice rest.'
The woman then steps forward and speaks to her daughter. "Dear I know that it has been hard since your father passed but please don't go picking up strange creatures you find in the wild. They could be dangerous." She says in a stern voice.
Alice was taken aback and looked down at the ground. "I know mom. I'm sorry."She says in a soft and weak voice as a small tear can be seen rolling down her cheek."I just wanted a friend." She squeezed the slime a little harder.
Seeing how down she was Rimuru spoke to her mother. "Look, I have a suggestion for you. How about we make an agreement, a contract of sorts?"
The woman looks towards the slime and responds while still being suspicious of the slime."What do you suggest?"
"How about this I can stay with Alice and act as a personal caretaker and, or bodyguard and in exchange I can come with you?" Rimuru suggests.
Alice perks up and looks towards her mother with tears still in her eyes while her mother asks the slime. "And how can I know that you would be able to protect her?"
"If I wanted to I could have killed all of your guards the moment they pointed their weapons at us." Rimuru says with confidence while the guard back up a little.
The mother then answers with a sigh. "Fine but if you do anything to her I shall personally see to it that you are burned at the bards ceremony instead of the doll." She looks at him with a cold stare.
The slime shivers a bit and answers."Very well it seem we have an agreement." A small slime hand comes out of him."As confirmation to our agreement lets shake on it, Miss? ."
The mother walks forward and warily shakes his tentacle. "Elisif. Anyway let us get into the cart, I'm afraid that stormcloaks will attack if we stay here longer." She picks up Alice and Rimuru.
Alice cleans up her face and speaks up in a happy tone. "Thanks mom!" She jogs behind her as she and the man from before climb into the carraige.
