In the world of Moe King, I became the ruler of ice.

"Ugh... Waaah!"

Ramiris's entire body was frozen into a block of ice, except for her bright, lively eyes, which could still move.

At this moment, her eyes were already brimming with tears, and her pitiful gaze evoked feelings of pity in one's heart.

She opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to explain something, but Gransta turned her head away without hesitation, not giving her a chance to speak at all.

At this very moment, Gulansta was burning with an unnamed rage!

He couldn't be bothered to listen to Ramiris's explanation!

Hmph, the wine thief is unforgivable!

Let's freeze Ramiris for a few days first! We can deal with her after she calms down.

Thinking of this, a playful smile crept onto Granstas's lips. He turned and left, leaving Ramiris frozen in place...

...

"Are you sober now?"

His voice was flat and cold.

Granstas's gaze was sharp as he looked down at Ramiris, who was sitting on the ice seat, shivering.

"Ugh, Gransta, I am the Elf Queen! How could you treat me like this? It's unforgivable!"

Ramiris flew up angrily, put her hands on her hips, tilted her head back, and glared at the heartless guy in front of her.

Gransta shook his head indifferently.

"Elf Queen? What does that have to do with me! Besides, you've already fallen and become a Demon King. Apart from those incorporeal elves, which high-ranking elf would obey your commands?"

After saying that, Granstad spread his hands out, looking like he was trying to scare someone.

However, at that moment, Gulansta's voice suddenly turned sinister.

"Oh, and I haven't settled the score with you for drinking all the wine in my room yet!"

When Ramiris heard Granstas so bluntly expose her secrets, her face instantly turned bright red.

He couldn't help but think to himself.

I had heard rumors that Gransta was a newly born high-ranking elf, but how did he know so much about her?

"Hmph, you already know I'm the Demon King, so let me tell you, I'm one of the three ancient Demon Kings, the super powerful kind."

Ramiris seemed to have regained her confidence and flew around Gransta a few times.

Finally, it stopped in front of Gransta, raised its head with an arrogant expression, and stretched out a hand.

"Heh heh, scared now, aren't you!"

"However, considering your decent abilities, I'll reluctantly take you on as my subordinate. I can overlook your previous rude behavior."

Ramiris, with her head held high and a haughty air, opened one eye and secretly watched Gransta's reaction.

Guransta suddenly laughed, a particularly bright smile on his face.

"Take me on as your subordinate? Are you sure you have the ability?"

Ramiris puffed out her non-existent breasts, feeling a little guilty.

"I am the oldest demon king, and I am absolutely qualified to be your master."

Forget it.

Gransta was already exhausted. He waved his hand, no longer wanting to listen to this guy's boasting. He immediately condensed a ball of icy blue magic in his hand.

"You should freeze yourself for a few more days..."

Ramiris's face tightened, and she couldn't help but feel a pang of anxiety. This Gransta wasn't intimidated by her imposing aura at all; he was actually going to freeze her in ice.

"Ah, I don't want to."

"Gransta, how dare you treat a Demon King like this..."

"Waaah~"

And just then

The gates of the ice castle swung open with a loud bang, and a giant, snow-white wolf leaped in from the outside, landing lightly on the ground.

A blob of blue slime leaped from the snow-white giant wolf into the air, tumbled and transformed into a stunningly beautiful figure with blue hair, gracefully landing on the ground.

"Ranga, thank you for your hard work. Now, return to my shadow."

Rimuru patted Ranga's head.

Ranga nuzzled Rimuru's face affectionately, then transformed into a black shadow and disappeared into Rimuru's shadow.

Rimuru immediately turned around happily.

"Haha, Gransta, I'm finally back after finishing up over there."

"You have no idea how exhausted I was, but what made me happiest was gaining a few capable underlings..."

but

When Rimuru turned around, he saw a strange and eerie scene.

Gransta was dragging a cute female elf into a ball of magic in his hand, while the female elf looked pitiful and tried her best to resist Gransta's magic hand.

Upon seeing that Rimuru had returned, Gransta stopped what he was doing, and Ramiris flew away as if granted a pardon.

"Rimuru, you're back."

Rimuru looked at Gransta with a strange expression, his eyes constantly scanning Ramiris's aggrieved little face.

Then he slowly walked over to Gransta and plopped down next to her.

"Gransta, what are you doing? Are you bullying a girl?!"

Gransta glared at Rimuru, who had a strange look on his face.

Do you think I'm that kind of person?

"I was just punishing a bragging petty thief."

As Granstas spoke, he glanced at Ramiris, who was keeping her distance from him.

Rimuru was even more confused.

Gransta explained it to Rimuru, but didn't elaborate on Ramiris's identity.

Rimuru was shocked when he heard that a room full of sake had been ruined, and even half-finished sake still being brewed had been taken.

"What?!"

Rimuru moved with lightning speed, grabbing Ramiris who was flying in mid-air in an instant.

Her little face was contorted with rage.

"How could you be so cruel? I brewed most of those semi-finished wines! Give me back my wine!"

As he spoke, Rimuru grabbed Ramiris's hand and shook it frantically.

Ramiris was so dizzy from being shaken by Rimuru that she almost threw up.

"Ugh, stop shaking me! I'm getting dizzy!"

Rimuru released his grip, allowing Ramiris to regain some composure.

"You wine-stealing sprite, tell me how you're going to make up for the wine I brewed!"

"If you don't pay up, I'll have you arrested and enslaved..."

Ramiris shrank back in fear. Just hearing the name "black slave" made her think it was something terrifying. This guy in front of her was in cahoots with Granstadt, and his methods must be extremely cruel.

Her little mind had already conjured up 108 kinds of torture, and her face turned pale instantly.

"Do you...do you want me to pay compensation? But...I don't have any money!"

Rimuru stared at Ramiris in disbelief. "You're planning to get something for nothing if you don't have any money?"

Rimuru's face immediately broke into a sinister smile.

"No money? Then you'll just have to..."
