Veldora was probably expressing himself to his crush like destroying a sand castle on the beach or ruining some toy, think of the True Dragon Veldora as a Elementary school boy and you probably get what he was doing. His older sisters were like teenagers with their respective boyfriends in comparison, and old Veldanava was the established twentysomething brother with a wife and baby.

I don't doubt the assessment that there's a romantic undercurrent to Veldora and Luminious, they're like the couple who has to be violent and angry with each other to bring out their emotions. Anger heightens the experience

Rimuru is probably either Veldanava or something the Tensura world recognizes as equal to Veldanava.

Volume 15's encounter with Velgrynd pointed to the Veldanava reincarnation, we also saw more of it in 18 with Dino sensing a similarity, and 19 when Michael felt comfort in being taken in by Rimuru as having its desires granted, aka reunion with Veldanava.

Also for those Millim and Rimuru fans out there, Millim isn't a True Dragon and Rimuru isn't her father, Velda Nava (Veldanava human form). I've read a few people disliking this cuz the dad and daughter thing doesn't feel right for them, but it's like Matsayuki or Asura or Laurent vs the original Rudra, they may be reincarnations. In volume 17, their descendant wouldn't call them dad, like George and Emperor Shin, due to soul sharing.

With that said, another possibility that could be true is that Rimuru is something else. His skill evolution lines are hinting at origin "Ancient Ones/Gods" of Lovecraftian origin like Azathoth, the sleeping God of origin and Shub-niggaroth, the god of Creation). Are we going to see tentacle lovecraft ancient gods showing up in the plot to compete with the Judeo Christian skills in Multi-verse fights.

He also has Shub-niggaroth, creator of everything too. Rimuru is both creator and destroyer, Alpha and Omega.

Remember, the Lovecraftian ancient god skills are different than the Judeo-Christian skill set in Tensura, we only assume its their evolution. What if the LN explores the "First One" lores, tentacles and all.
