Chapter 6 (1/2)
Overlord Voluue
Ainz’s room was filled with exquisite furniture, while the floor was laid with a bright red carpet This vast room was usually draped in a thin veil of silence, and today it was even more quiet than normal The maid who normally attended him here was nowhere to be seen The only people here were Ainz and his sword-bearing Death Knight in the corner
Albedo spoke in a soft, syrupy sweet voice, as though trying to preserve the silence of the room:
“I have a report to deliver The coht Scripture e captured has been incarcerated in the Frozen Prison We will extract inforence-Gathering Officer”
“If it’s Neuronist, there shouldn’t be any problems However, I want to conduct experi about this?”
“Understood In addition, we are currently looking through the arhts They do not bear any major enchantations are concluded”
“…Well, that’s the proper way to dispose of them”
“Finally, I plan to have two Shadow Dee Then, what should we do about Gazef Stronoff?”
“Leave the Warrior-Captain be for now It is ood relationshi+p with that village Wethem”
“Understood I will take care of it Thus ends the report”
Ainz turned to look at Albedo as he said, “Well done” The look on her face was slightly different froentle smile She seemed particularly happy today
The reason was the sparkling Ring (of Ainz Ooal Gown) upon her left ring finger, which she caressed lovingly
Although she could wear the ring anywhere she wanted, it was not hard to tell why she earing the ring on that finger
If that was how Albedo truly felt, then as a man, Ainz would be overjoyed However, if that was the result of his tauilty instead
“Albedo… the love you feel forThey are certainly not your original feelings Therefore…”
What should he do next? Was it right to change her o on Just then, Albedo looked at Ainz and sed me, what kind of person was I, Ainz-sama?”
A slut
Ainz could not say that, of course, but he did not kno to tell her Though he appeared calh on the exterior, his heart was in chaos Then, Albedo spoke again
“Then, I am quite happy with the way I am now, so there is no need for you to feel upset, Ainz-sama”
“But…”
“But…? But what,unusual co the silent Ainz:
“There is only one thing that matters”
As Ainz waited for Albedo to continue, she said:
“Does it trouble you?”
Ainz du face Her words branded theh his skull was e to say, and hastily replied:
“No, no, how could it inconveniencethe love of a beautiful woman like Albedo At least, for now
“Then, is there a probleht that, but Ainz could not find any reason to refute her
“Then, it should be fine, right?” Albedo said again Ainz could sense so ht up a question in a final, desperate attele free:
“I s Don’t you wish to go back to your old self?”
“I believe Tabula-sahter away for e”
“…Is, is that so?”
Was he really like that? Just as Ainz was thinking about this, the sound of crashi+ngout
He turned to look at the source of the sound, and saw a longsword on the ground The Death Knight who should have been holding that sas nowhere to be seen He had suo
“…When I suiven the way the sword froround, it would seeh to bind them to this world, so it was left behind If that is the case, does that Death Knight remain here because I used a corpse to suthen Nazarick if I had e a up that village’s graveyard”
“Understood However, we must then consider a way to procure fresh corpses Now that the Death Knight has disappeared, everyone should have assembled by now Please proceed to the throne rooo ahead first”
“I see All right, Albedo I’ll see you later”

As Albedo quietly left Ainz’s roo the corridor
“Sebas, you’ve coa-sama in his room?”
“Yes, he is”
Albedo could not help but feel superior as she heard Sebas still referring to Ainz as Moa As he saw the look on her face, Sebas raised an eyebrow
“You seeood happen?”
“Yes”
Albedo’s joy was not just because of the name, but because she recalled her conversation with Ainz She spoke of estion In other words…
Albedo’s sant to lewd and wicked in an instant it was a smile she would never show to Ainz
“Kufufufu, I’ve done it No, I will definitely do it I will be the one seated beside hi more than my footrest”
Albedo clenched her fist, unable to resist the words boiling up in her heart These were not words of a Guardian Overseer, but a wo…”
Sebas silently watched Albedo as she acted up
