Overlord (book 1)

Ainz shifted his gaze to look at something shining, his sights falling on the ring worn on Gazef’s

left ring finger.

He was married. It’s great that his wife won’t have to grief. Ainz thought as he carefully began

his act.

“Wel , I chased them away. I couldn’t finish them all off.”

This was a lie, all of them were sent to Nazarick grand underground Tomb. Gazef squint his

eyes for a moment, and the two of them stayed silent. A tense air lingered between them.

The one who broke the silence was Gazef:

“That was amazing, I don’t know how to repay Master Gown’s aid. Do visit my residence if you

come to the imperial capital, I wil give you a grand welcome.”

“I see… I will trouble you then.”

“... Master Gown, I don’t know what plans you have, but would you be willing to journey with us?

We wil be resting in this vil age for some time.”

“I see. I am planning to leave, but my destination isn’t set yet.”

“It’s already late, to travel now is a bit…”

Gazef paused at this point of the conversation:

“My apologies, this is unnecessary worries for a powerful man like Master Gown. If you drop by

the imperial capital, please pay me a visit, my doors will always be open for you. Other than that,

I am thankful for you giving me with a set of equipment from the knights attacking the vil age.”

Ainz nodded and judged that the things he needed to do in this village was done. Unexpected

events kept on popping up, it felt like he had overstayed his welcome.

“Let’s return, Albedo.”

Ainz spoke in a soft volume only Albedo can hear. She nodded happily immediately 一 while still

wearing full body armor.

Ainz's room was filled with elegant and high-class furniture, the floor was covered in bright red

carpet. This room was usually covered in a thin veil of silence, but was even more quiet today.

Even the maid that should be on standby was missing from the room. The only ones present

were Ainz and a Death Knight who stood in a corner.

Wanting to keep the peace and quiet, a gentle voice as sweet as honey came out of Albedo's

mouth:

"Reporting: The commander of the Silian Sunlight Scripture has been sent to the Frozen Prison.

Intelligence will be extracted by the special intelligence officer from now on."

"Neuronist should be fine. But I plan to conduct experiments with the corpses... You’re aware of that?"

"I do. According to the reports, we are investigating the equipment stripped from the knights, no signs of special enchantments so far. After finishing the investigation, the equipment will be sent

to the treasury."

"... Yes, that would be adequate."

"Finally, in order to protect and monitor that village, I plan to send 2 shadow demons over. How should we deal with Gazef Strolonoff?"

"Ignore the Knight-Captain for now. More importantly, that village will be the place where we

build our good relations. We might need his help someday, so it would be best to not get on his

bad side."

"Understood. I will instruct the underlings clearly. This concludes the report."

Answering "Thanks for your hard work", Ainz looked at Albedo’s face who finished her report.

Her smile was slightly different from her usual gentle smile and she seemed to be in a good

mood.

The reason was the ring on her left hand's ring finger which she was caressing with her right

hand. It was a sparkling Ring of Ainz Ooal Gown.

It was her own decision which finger she wanted to wear her ring on, but the reason she

decided on that finger was obvious.

If these were Albedo’s true feelings, he should be happy as a man. But her feelings were the

result of Ainz’s casual editing, causing him to feel guilty.

“Albedo… Your feelings for me are just the result of me altering you, they are definitely not your

true feelings. So…”

What should he say next? Was using magic to alter memories the right thing to do?

Ainz couldn’t continue on. Looking at Ainz, Albedo asked with a smile:

“What kind of person was I before you altered me?”

A slut.

Ainz didn’t know how to say something like that. Albedo stared at Ainz who appeared cool on

the outside but was panicking on the inside, and said:

“I think the current me is great, so don’t feel sad Ainz-sama.”

“But…”

“But…? But what?”

He didn’t answer but stil felt an unfathomable atmosphere from the smiling Albedo. Albedo

continued talking to a silent Ainz:

“The most important thing will be...”

Ainz waited for her to continue, but she only mumbled with a depressed face:

“Wil it bother you?”

He opened his mouth stupidly, looking at Albedo’s pretty face. Her words were branded deeply

into his mind —— although it was empty now —— But Ainz knew what she was saying and

replied in a hurry:

“N-no way, how would that ever bother me.”
