Demiurge quickly walked to Lord Ainz's office in E-Rantel, and after knocking on the door, Albedo's voice allowed entry.
When Demiurge entered the office, he only saw Albedo sitting in the seat that should have been Lord Ainz, immersed in the documents at hand.
"Albedo, where is Ainz-sama?" Demiurge asked.
"You have returned to Nazarick. Demiurge, if you have anything, please tell me and I will convey it to Ainz-sama." Albedo did not even raise her head, still concentrating.
Study the articles at hand.
After all... this is the task that Ainz-sama has given him! It is such an important task to formulate laws suitable for the Sorcerous Kingdom of Ainz Ooal Gown.
"Some things would be better if I reported them to Ainz-sama in person." Demiurge said. He might not have seen Ainz-sama for a long time, but he could see Ainz-sama and report the progress of his work to him.
What an honor it is to be praised by Lord Ainz.
"Then you may have to wait a little longer. Lord Ainz is at Sister Nicolette's place now." Albedo also understood how Demiurge wanted to see Lord Ainz.
"Huh? Is Ainz-sama at Nicolde's place..." After receiving this information, a cold light flashed across Demiurge's lenses.
"Yes, Demiurge, I advise you not to disturb Ainz-sama right now," Albedo said.
"Huh? What is Ainz-sama busy with?" Demiurge pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose. In fact, Demiurge now knew in his heart what the wise Ainz-sama was busy with.
"Of course." Albedo replied.
"Haha! Let me guess that Lord Ainz is probably busy with matters related to His Highness Elizabeth?" Demiurge said with a smile.
"That's right! Demiurge, have you noticed it too!" As soon as Albedo heard Iri's name, she immediately became energetic and looked up at Demiurge with a rosy face.
.
"In the past few days, Ainz-sama will be pacing back and forth in this room whenever this time comes, and then ask me if there is any message from Ellie, and then he will return to Nazarick to check with Nigreid to confirm little Ellie's condition.
Go, Ainz-sama who cares so much about his daughter is so awesome! Demiurge! I really want you to see Ainz-sama’s worried expression on little Ellie! It’s really… really…”
Albedo couldn't stop talking about Lord Ainz and Iri.
"Haha! Albedo, the reason I came back this time is to report to Ainz-sama about His Highness Elizabeth," Demiurge said.
"Huh? You're already late for this, Demiurge." Albedo patted an open file on the table and motioned for Demiurge to read it for himself.
Demiurge was quite curious as to why he was late? So out of curiosity, he picked up the file and read it.
"Hmm? Did it come from the Dragon Kingdom? Well! Alliance request?! When did it come?" Demiurge's eyes widened. Wasn't this too fast? He had just received the message from the Beast Kingdom.
The news that came over was that Her Highness Elizabeth had stopped the invasion of the Beast Kingdom, and had also given an order not to attack the Dragon Kingdom. But just then, the Dragon Kingdom sent over its alliance request? As expected of Her Highness Elizabeth!!
Demiurge was shocked!
"Just an hour ago." Albedo said.
"Does Ainz-sama know about this?" Demiurge asked.
"Of course, Lord Ainz returned to Nazarick after seeing this alliance request letter. Lord Ainz told me when he returned. If I can contact you, let me tell you...Dimiu
Goth, Lord Ainz said that this is just his preliminary plan, so I want you to know this." Albedo replied with a silly smile on his face.
"This...I don't understand, Lord Ainz...No, this may have been in Lord Ainz's plan from the beginning, but...it's just that I don't have enough insight to see through the actions of Lord Ainz and His Highness Elizabeth. This...makes Her Highness Elizabeth
I can understand the action of infiltrating the Silen Theocracy, but...the target suddenly turned to the worthless Dragon Kingdom." Demiurge was confused, completely confused, and at the same time he was very upset that he could not see through Lord Ainz and His Highness Elizabeth.
true meaning.
"Demiurge? Do you also think that the Dragon Kingdom has no value?" Albedo asked.
"Albedo? Are you the same, Albedo?" Demiurge noticed that Albedo no longer had the smile on her face when she mentioned Her Highness Elizabeth just now.
"Although I hate to admit it, I have the same view as you. Why would Ainz-sama like a small country that is poor and weak and has no strategic value?" Albedo replied.
"This can only mean that... you and I can only go so far and cannot understand the intentions of Lord Ainz and His Highness Elizabeth! This... as the guardian of Nazarick, I am really ashamed to let Lord Ainz down."
Demiurge looked away in annoyance.
"Since Lord Ainz has said so, and little Ellie has also done so, then the Dragon Kingdom must have important value, and Lord Ainz reminded me just now that I must tell you about this. This shows that
…Lord Ainz knows what you think, and knows that you, like me, believe that the Dragon Kingdom is a country without any value, so the focus will naturally not be on the Dragon Kingdom. However, Lord Ainz acted on his own without telling us.
What made little Ellie take action!" Albedo was not much better than Demiurge, and looked annoyed that she could not help Ainz-sama.
"Did our actions disappoint Lord Ainz? So Lord Ainz and His Highness Elizabeth took action to make up for our mistakes?" Demiurge said.
How is this... As a subordinate, I obviously failed to understand Lord Ainz's mood, which disappointed Lord Ainz, but Lord Ainz and His Highness Elizabeth used their actions to remind themselves of their mistakes. No wonder Her Highness Elizabeth would
By using the Beast Kingdom to convey information about the Dragon Kingdom to herself, and telling herself not to interfere in the Dragon Kingdom's affairs, Her Royal Highness Elizabeth just wants to make up for the mistakes of her incompetent subordinates!
"Demiurge, Ainz-sama's thoughts are beyond our reach... Before that, after Ainz-sama mentioned whether Xiao Yili had been in contact, the next person he mentioned was you. Ainz-sama must have asked you
Is there anything dissatisfied with the overall plan?" Albedo said.
"Yes, Ainz-sama's wisdom and the thoughts of His Highness Elizabeth, who inherited his wisdom, are beyond our reach, but! Albedo! Why didn't you contact me earlier!" Demiurge was a little confused.
He said unhappily.
"So what if I contact you? Can you immediately understand Ainz-sama's thoughts and get the Dragon Kingdom to proactively request an alliance?" Albedo asked.
"This..." The answer is no. Demiurge understood that the original intention of inciting the Beast Kingdom to invade the Dragon Kingdom was to act as a diversion.
Although the Dragon Kingdom is indeed very weak, the Queen of the Dragon Kingdom's identity as a dragon must be guarded, so she encouraged the Beast Kingdom, which has been eyeing the Dragon Kingdom, to launch a large-scale invasion.
It would be better if the Beast Kingdom could take down the Dragon Kingdom in one fell swoop. Those mindless beastmen would soon succumb if their fists were harder than theirs. This was their original plan.
If the Dragon Kingdom were to initiate an alliance request on this basis, they would have to assist them in repelling the Beast Kingdom's invasion.
However, the newly born Sorcerous Kingdom of Ainz Ooal Gown directly sent troops there without being invited by the Dragon Kingdom. This seemed to have been premeditated.
Although this would indeed force the Dragon Kingdom to ally with the Sorcerer Kingdom, it would also sow the seeds of rebellion. You must know that Lord Ainz will not be merciful to anyone who dares to use his sword against Nazarick.
As a result, the Dragon Kingdom must be wiped out, but this violates what Lord Ainz said earlier, that the rule of scorched earth and ruins will damage Ainz Ooal Gown's name!
So! There really was no way for me to do a safe remedy in this situation, but Her Royal Highness Elizabeth did it... In such a short period of time, almost at the same time that she received the message from the Beast Kingdom, Dragon
The kingdom’s alliance request letter has also arrived, and!
Demiurge turned his attention to the end of the Dragon Kingdom's alliance request, which was a request from the Dragon Kingdom to the Sorcerer Kingdom to rent a large number of undead.
Not only did Her Highness Elizabeth do it, but she did it so perfectly that the Dragon Kingdom took the initiative to request the Sorcerer Kingdom to rent the undead.
This clearly shows that the Dragon Kingdom did not proactively propose an alliance under some pressure, but rather willingly.
You must know that the undead are not welcome no matter which country they are in. However, the number of undead that the Dragon Kingdom proposed to rent has far exceeded the number of the Dragon Kingdom's own troops.
If the request was made under pressure, no one would be stupid enough to ask the enemy to send in troops that far exceed their own country's defense strength. This can also explain... The Dragon Kingdom already has people who have surrendered and attached themselves to the Sorcerous Kingdom.
The intention is...
"Demiurge, I can understand your mood..." Albedo sighed when she saw Demiurge holding the Dragon Kingdom's alliance request letter and looking at it for a long time.
"It's... amazing." Demiurge, who had been silent for a long time, seemed to have understood something.
"So Demiurge, what are your plans next?" Albedo asked.
"I want to see Ainz-sama! I want to apologize to Ainz-sama personally." Demiurge replied.
"Don't you understand yet? The compassionate Lord Ainz did not blame us...otherwise Lord Ainz would not have reminded us again and again after silently making up for our mistakes with little Ellie! Lord Ainz wanted to
We noticed his good intentions!" Albedo said.
"That...that's..." Demiurge could only admit it. If Lord Ainz really wanted to blame him, he would have spoken out immediately after he formulated this plan and carried out the wrong action.
Rather than silently allowing Elizabeth to go to the Queen's Palace.
"Albedo, please tell me the time when Ainz-sama will return from Nicored!" Demiurge asked.
"It usually takes about half an hour, which is pretty quick," Albedo said.
"Okay! I will go to see Lord Ainz in a moment. I...I...want to express my gratitude to Lord Ainz!" Demiurge said.
"I'll go with you, too." Albedo nodded wordlessly, then stood up.
Half an hour later, Demiurge and Albedo appeared in the main hall of Nazarick on time...
As a result, Ainz started to have stomach pain again, even though he didn't have that organ at all...
