Shion paced back and forth in front of Rimuru's office, her thoughts racing. She knew that Rimuru was planning a trip with Shizue, and her heart sank at the thought of being left behind. As his royal guard, it was her duty to protect him. Her loyalty and love for him drove her to work tirelessly, honing her skills and leading the Amethyst Guards, a squad she had personally trained to ensure Rimuru's safety.
Unable to contain her concern any longer, Shion knocked on Rimuru's door. When she entered, she found him sitting at his desk, dealing with some documents.
"Lord Rimuru, please let me come with you." She pleaded, her voice filled with determination.
Rimuru looked up, a gentle smile spreading across his face. He had anticipated this, Shion's dedication was unwavering, but things would only become more complicated if she came. For one, most Kingdoms didn't accept Majin; Dwargon was the exception.
Her horn made her stick out like a sore thumb, and even if she wore a mask to try to hide it and play it off as part of the mask, her aura would still give her away. She was quite strong, and hiding and containing all those magicules to look normal was an extremely difficult thing to do. Even Benimaru, who was a bit of a prodigy when it came to it, was struggling to hide his aura fully.
In theory, he could create a copy of Shizue's mask for her to wear, but he honestly would rather have her stay in Tempest. He knew her well enough to guess she might get excited and cause a mess. Though he could order her to stay still, it would only make her into a ticking time bomb.
However, he also had another mission for her.
"Shion." He began softly, "Do you remember the role I gave you?"
"Royal Guard, which is why—" She started, but Rimuru raised a hand, stopping her mid-sentence.
"I need you to look after Shuna. You are the only one I can trust to do it. I won't be able to come instantly if there's an emergency, so I need you to be the one who protects our house, Tempest, while I'm gone."
Shion's eyes widened in surprise. She understood the gravity of his words. Protecting Shuna was a big responsibility, one she couldn't take lightly. She was the Queen of Tempest, and she practically ran the city whenever Rimuru was busy. She made it look so easy that it even made Shion a bit jealous of her. If only she were as smart as Shuna, then she could also have Rimuru pass part of his burden on to her.
Still, the thought of not being by Rimuru's side pained her.
"Lord Rimuru.…" She whispered, her voice barely audible.
Seeing her struggle, Rimuru stood up and walked over to her. He gently lifted her chin, looking into her eyes with a reassuring smile.
"I believe in you, Shion. You're strong, and I know you will keep Shuna and Tempest safe."
Before she could respond, Rimuru leaned in and kissed her softly. Shion's eyes widened in surprise before she closed them, savoring the moment. When he pulled away, she felt a warmth spread through her, strengthening her resolve.
"If those are your orders," She said, her voice steadier now. "Then I will ensure nothing bad happens to Shuna while you are gone. I will crush anyone who tries to harm Tempest."
Chuckling slightly, Rimuru turned to look out of the window, seeing all the people working.
"You know, I don't think I have had the chance to properly meet your team." Rimuru said, turning back to Shion with a curious expression.
Shion's eyes lit up with pride. The Amethyst Guards were her pride and joy, a testament to her dedication and hard work.
"I'd be honored to introduce you to them, Lord Rimuru."
"Then let's go see them. I want to see how they've progressed under your leadership."
They made their way to the training grounds, and as they arrived, Rimuru had to hold back his surprise. They were slashing at each other with strange knives. Each took turns as the person who was slashed fell to the ground limply. They were all using daggers that had been forged to be able to cause paralysis.
There were Hobgoblins, Kijin, Dragonewts, and even a few newly added Harpies all sparring until one slashed the other.
As they approached, the guards who were still standing snapped to attention, saluting both Rimuru and Shion.
"Amethyst Guards!" Shion called out, her voice commanding yet filled with a warmth that spoke of mutual respect. "Lord Rimuru is here to observe our training."
Then Shion turned to the people on the ground, her voice growing colder as she shouted.
"Lord Rimuru is here. You better give him a proper salute. Anyone who doesn't stand up this instant is going to be the next test subject for my specialty cupcakes."
As she spoke, the guards who were on the ground suffering from paralysis instantly began to twitch. Standing up moments later with stiff movements before offering a salute, Shion smiled and nodded in approval.
"What do you think of my guards? I am training them so that they are resistant to all sorts of status effects. No matter if the enemy uses poison, paralysis, sleep magic, or even confusion, I will ensure they do not falter for a moment. They will be the elite who guard you. Even Benimaru's army will not be able to stand up to my elite guards." She asked with a bright smile, clearly looking for a compliment.
Rimuru couldn't help but look at the guards, all of them covered in bruises that were slowly healing as their regeneration kicked in. They all had determined looks on their faces, showing that even this level of training meant nothing to them.
"These guards are unlike any I have ever seen." Rimuru noted, admiring the discipline and skill on display. "You've done a remarkable job, Shion."
His words caused Shion to smile brightly as she shouted to her group.
"Alright, back to work. We can't have Lord Rimuru thinking that we are slacking."
As they saw the guards instantly begin sparring once again, Rimuru turned to Shion, a mischievous smile on his face as he suggested.
"You know, it's been a bit longer than usual since our last spar. How about we put on a show for them? Let's show them why you are my royal guard."
As the two of them set up, the guards gathered around after being permitted by Shion.
She raised her gigantic odachi, Gorikimaru, letting her smile show as she felt her heart begin to race in excitement. Rimuru, for his part, pulled out his own sword and took a defensive stance.
Shion had fully mastered Shunpo by now, and she was using it expertly to vanish from place to place, leaving after images on her path as she clashed with Rimuru. The two swords clashed, creating so much wind that it shook the entire arena.
The ground under Rimuru exploded, showcasing just how much strength Shion had used in her attack.
"Not holding back, Shion?" Rimuru asked with a teasing smile.
"Do you want me to?" She asked, her smile bright as she already knew the answer.
In an instant, the two of them began to fight, showcasing not only their strength and speed. They danced around in a blur before eventually the two of them clashed one last time, leaving the guards watching with stars in their eyes.
"If you all train hard, you will also be able to become this strong, so you better not slack off!" Shion shouted as she turned to the guards, instantly getting nods of approval as they all began to practice again.
Seeing her guards working so hard, she nodded before turning to Rimuru, looking slightly embarrassed.
"Hey, umm… Lord Rimuru… Since we just fought, you must be a little hungry, no? I know Shuna brings you snacks, but…." She began looking at Rimuru to see his reaction.
"Uh.…" He began, trying to think of a way out of it, but seeing Shion's puppy eyes, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Yeah… I can go for a snack." He said weakly, feeling Shion instantly embrace him in a hug and lift him up in excitement.
"Alright! Wait here, I will be right back… I actually did make cupcakes." Vanishing using Shunpo, Shion showed back up a few moments later holding a small ornate box.
She opened it to reveal a row of cupcakes, all letting off a strange aura as the smell struck. For some reason, they looked like they were made out of meat, and there was even an eyeball decorating the top of one.
"Uh... Shion… what are these cupcakes made out of?" Rimuru asked with some hesitation.
"They were made from a Dire Bear. I thought it would make a good and nutritious snack for you." Shion said with a smile. She had gone out of her way to look for a strong animal to catch for him. She had seen him eating the Orc Disaster and Charybdis, so she knew he could eat just about anything.
As for the reason she had made the bear into cupcakes and not into a steak, it was because she knew that Rimuru always loved to snack on cupcakes whenever he got the chance.
It was the perfect combination of both a strong monster and his favorite food. Something only Rimuru could enjoy. She thought it wasn't her fault that her guards didn't have a refined taste as Rimuru and her.
Shuna had watched their interaction from a distance, chuckling slightly to herself as she saw Rimuru pick up one of the cupcakes with a strange expression.
After thinking for a moment, she decided to add something special to her plans for tonight, so turning around, she returned to her shop to work on what she would need.
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
Hours later, Rimuru received a letter from Shuna asking him to meet her at their cabin overlooking Tempest. After using shadow motion, he appeared to see both Shuna and Shion.
Shuna had a warm smile, while Shion looked slightly embarrassed.
"My dear husband, I noticed how hard you have been working. So I wanted to let you relax before you had to go. I wanted to give you a massage, but I think it would be better if I had some help."
As she said that, she moved forward, grabbing Rimuru's hand and leading him into a soft chair that had been placed specifically there. She reached to undo his kimono, letting it fall onto the floor as she sat him on the comfortable chair. Taking a few steps back to undo her kimono, she slowly allowed it to fall to the ground, revealing a pair of specially made lingerie that only made her look more appealing.
He admired the view in front of him, seeing as she giggled before moving back behind him and reaching for his shoulders. She placed some oil in them before gently beginning to massage them. Her Unique Skill, Provider, activated and sent a soothing warmth across Rimuru's body.
Shion, for her part, also stepped forward, taking off her clothes and revealing an equally impressive lingerie set.
She swallowed slightly before kneeling down on the ground and reaching for his member, letting out a warm breath before engulfing it with her mouth.
"Mhmmm…" Shion moaned slightly as she reached down and began to play with herself, feeling the excitement from servicing him as well as the embarrassment of doing it in front of her Queen.
She moved her head up and down, coating his member in her saliva before bringing her breasts and wrapping them around it, and then she moved her head down to suck on the head while gently massaging it with her breasts.
As Shion continued to diligently pleasure him, Shuna moved to the side, gently reaching for Rimuru's face before kissing him deeply. She wrapped her arms around him, giving into the kiss until she too began to feel hot inside.
Kneeling down next to Shion, she nudged her to the side before she moved her face forward and began to lick at his balls. Their combined mouths felt like heaven itself, and after a few moments, Shuna stood up, a blush on her face as she grabbed Rimuru and nudged him to follow him to their bedroom.
"Did you enjoy the warm-up?" Shuna asked, the blush on her face growing. She had become far more experienced since she spent almost every night with him. However, adding another girl was something she had never tried before.
With a soft sigh, Rimuru sank onto the bed. His body relaxed and ready for what was to come. Shuna joined him on the bed, both of them slowly removing their underwear to reveal their sculpted bodies. Shuna positioned herself on top of Rimuru's hips, her slick folds sliding over his hard member as she began to move back and forth, her wetness coating him in a delicious heat.
As Shion approached from the side, her breasts swayed hypnotizingly in front of Rimuru's face. He couldn't resist and eagerly took one of her pink nipples into his mouth, gently nibbling and playing with it while his hand teased the other.
"Mmmm," Shion moaned, pressing herself against Rimuru's face as he expertly pleasured her. Her whole body tingled with pleasure as he continued to play with her sensitive nipples. "Ah~ No~ It's too much~"
Shuna, who was finally satisfied with her work, raised her hips slightly. She aligned herself perfectly and slowly slid down onto Rimuru's entire length.
Her insides instantly began to massage his member, tightening and relaxing as she felt the pleasure and Eros intensify, making her mind buzz with excitement.
Shion could no longer contain herself and let her fingers explore her own body, feeling her first climax building within her. She moaned loudly before she felt Rimuru release her breast and guide her to sit on top of him, positioning herself so that his mouth could delightfully devour her soaking wet entrance.
Lost in their own world of pleasure, Shuna continued to ride Rimuru, savoring every movement as she could feel an orgasm building inside her. She slowly moved her hips in sync with his thrusts, riding out the intense pleasure before collapsing onto the bed beside them.
Once Rimuru felt Shuna move to the side, he nudged Shion so that she could move back, and with one swift movement, he flipped her onto the bed. His hands caressed over her legs before entering her soaking wet entrance.
"Aah~" Shion moaned as she felt him enter her legs, instinctively wrapping around him as she felt his hands move down to play with her breasts once again.
Feeling her eagerness, Rimuru wasted no time in beginning to thrust, his hips moving with a rhythm that drove her wild. Their bodies twisted and turned, each movement more passionate than the last.
Shuna watched from the side, her eyes full of desire for him as she rose up and dived into him for another deep kiss. Her hands gently reached out to stroke his chest and shoulders, adding to the sensations from Shion and starting what would be a long, sleepless night.
