Ro Lente Castle
Ainz was walking towards the last castle that still had not fallen. The castle was surrounded by all the sides so nobody could escape. He was wearing his mighty armor, on his left and right was Zesshi and Vrakulina and behind them were the undead lords, demons, angels and the Dragon Lords.
The Overlord observed the castle. It was disgusting and very old. It could have been built by slaves ages ago, that's what Ainz thought.
"Man, look at this shit-Look at it. This is the most ugliest castle I have ever seen."
"It is as you say, my Lord."
"Very true, your Majesty."
"Carne Fortress is better than this."
All the subordinates agreed with Ainz. He had thought to build an epic large castle like those of YGGDRASIL, not just here but in many cities of his Kingdom, so he can show the might of the Sorcerer Kingdom of Nazarick.
Ainz had also thought to turn the nation from a Kingdom to an Empire but this will happen years later when he invades more territories around the continent.
As soon he establish everything, new conquest will start again. As much he invade, much more resources with become part of his nation. After that, he will try to bring different races close to work with each other. But there was a race that Ainz himself hated very much.
The Pig-man Orcs.
Disgusting beings. Destroyers of the environment. Slave owners. Everything was negative. There is only one choice.
Genocide.
At last they will become useful as Death Knights, or sacrifices to summon demons. Their civilization will be destroyed up to the foundation and he knows very well who to send there to finish them all.
The beastman region was in complete control of the undead army and the orc nation was their neighbor. He had information about two other types of orcs that were the Uruks and the Pale Orcs. They at last will become citizens of his Kingdom.
Ainz and company were at the gates of the castle, but it was closed.
"Broz, can you knock at the door for me?" told Ainz.
"With pleasure, my Lord." Broz bowed his head and went forward.
The Catastrophe Dragon Lord, clenched his fist and punched the main gate. He did not use much force and the gate was destroyed.
If they locked the gates, they should have fought to protect it from the invaders, but there were no soldiers around. The Nazarick forces rushed inside and spread all over the walls. The Dragon Lords rose in the air and landed on the training fields.
Ainz and the others entered inside the Valencia Palace not encountering any resistance. He ordered his subordinates to check every room in this palace and bring the nobles to him if they find any of them.
But the only people they find, were the maids. They were not simply maids, but the daughters of the nobles.
What to do with them?
Tourture them?
Use them to breed demons?
Kill them?
No, they will be turned into vampires and be in control of their new masters. For eternity, they will be his servants.
As they reached the hallway that leads to the throne room, Ainz saw a group of knights that had directed their swords at him. They were the last resistance of this castle. But it was surprising because they did not look afraid at all, like they were ready to die for their king.
ATTACK!
FOR THE KING!
OOOOOOOOHHH!
The knights were charging at Ainz. His subordinates wanted to kill them but Ainz raised his hand to stop the undead lords. He went forward and directed his hand at the incoming knight of Re Estize.
[Despair Aura level V]
The dark storm was released from Ainz and hit the knights. Their battle cries could not be heard anymore and they fell on the floor like puppets whose strings had been cut. It was respectable for Ainz, because they did not surrender even if they know they could not win.
Ainz walked thru their corpses and approached the door. It was the same door he saw six years ago. He opened it and went inside.
What he saw in the throne room, were some nobles that had a cup in their hands. He thought they would be waiting with cheers so he can have mercy for them but it seems that was not the case.
Upon the throne, King Ramposa III was standing, but something was not okay. It looked like he was sleeping and a cup was on the floor. Not caring for the nobles, Ainz approached the throne and check the pulse of the old king.
Now Ainz understood that Ramposa III had committed suicide.
The thing that was inside that cup was poisoned and all the nobles had it on their hands. They all wanted to kill themselves so they will not fall in the hands of the undead.
"Hah…
Ainz grabbed the dead body of Ramposa III and dropped it on the floor like a garbage. His body rolled till it stopped with the face on the floor. Ainz grabbed the throne to and threw it outside from the window. There he created a far more perfect throne for himself and sit on it.
He observed the nobles shivering while looking at the cup. Death was frightening for them, but the undead are the same. His wives and the subordinates entered inside and waited for the orders of the Supreme Being.
"Hmm, what are you waiting for?" spoke Ainz.
The nobles gulped. One of them could not wait anymore and he drank the poison. After a few seconds, he grabbed his throat and fell on his knees. The poison did its job and gave him a painful death.
The other nobles did the same and one by one they fell. The scene was disgusting and their screams were annoying but they died in the end. As if they will escape so easily…
Suddenly inside arrived some Death Warriors and they brought three people inside. One was a short and fat person with short blond hair. The other was a young girl with long golden hair, dark blue eyes and wore a fashionable white dress. The third one was a young man with short blond hair and blue eyes. He wore a pure white full plate armor.
They were shocked while seeing the dead bodies of the nobles and the King.
"Bruh, that little guy look like a shonen character." thought Ainz while observing the guy in armor.
"State your names." demanded the Sorcerer King.
The Death Warriors had ordered them to fall on their knees.
"I-I am the second P-Prince Zanac Valleon Igana Ryle Vaiself."
"I am the third Princess Renner Theiere Chardelon Ryle Vaiself."
Ainz could not understand how they had this long ass names. It was really annoying and he or many others can not even remember them properly.
The boy in armor did not spoke.
"What about you?"
"My, My name is Climb, Y-Your Majesty!"
The reason Climb did not introduce himself was because he was not royal or noble. So a powerful being like this undead would see nothing but a pest. But the Sorcerer King asked about his name and that was weird for someone like Climb.
"I have heard about you Renner. The reforms you created made at last some good changes in the Kingdom, but that was all. As a third princess you had very little political influence. I bet you were just a pretty ornament for the royal family."
Renner was looking at Ainz with widened eyes because she was surprised how the Sorcerer King know about her reforms.
Because of her benevolence and kindness, the people in the entire Kingdom called her the Golden Princess. But on the inside she was nothing like that…
"I'm honored that you know about my deeds, Your Majesty!"
Suddenly Wrath arrived near Ainz and whispered in his ear. Then he gave Wrath a curious look. Sure he can not make a face like that, because of his fleshless skull.
"Take these two out of here for a moment."
The Death Warriors took Zanac and Climb outside the throne room, leaving only Ranner inside with Ainz and the other subordinates.
Wrath walked around Renner. She did not know or understand what was going to happen to her. Then Wrath stared at her eyes. The demon had a fearsome appearance and will terrify anyone even if they had a strong heart. So of course Renner, a young princess that had never seen these kind of creatures in her life was really afraid.
"You are nothing as you look." spoke the demon.
"What, What do mean?"
"Your soul is dark as midnight. Your personality is twisted. You are like a wolf that is masked as a sheep. Show us your true face... Princess."
Ainz was just standing on his throne looking dumbfounded at the two of them. But Ainz was shocked when he saw her face. The light from Renner's eyes disappeared and it was like they were empty.
"What… the… fuck…" murmured Ainz.
The princess had turned from a beautiful sweet maiden into a cancerous, ugly and dangerous monster that had a smile on her face.
"What is that?! What even is that?"
Ainz was surprised how she had changed her face like that. She looked like a psychopath that was hungry to find her next victim.
"My Lord, this girl is a human yet inhuman. The best way to describe her is as a spiritual heteromorph. She has an intelligence that far surpass those of her fellow humans. To think that humans like her exist!" Wrath stroke his chin with his fingers while looking at her.
The only intelligent human that he know, was Hilma. But she was nothing compared to this young girl. It will be great if his master will turn her into a demon. Her intelligence will stupendously increase even more.
"Uhh, Wrath return to reality... you too Ranner."
Both of them released an "OH!" and bowed their heads. It seemed that his master was not interested, but it will be a waste if he dispose of her. Well, if his master wants her to be dead, he will obey and will kill her without regret.
"Would you like to work for me Renner?"
"It will be an honor, Your Majesty."
"Very good, but know this that I may have to change your race in the future."
"I don't mind it, Your Majesty, but could you spare my bodyguard Climb, and my brother Zanac."
She said her bodyguard first than her brother… That was strange.
"Acceptable, I will give you the house of a noble, big enough for the three of you."
"My deepest thanks, Your Majesty."
Ainz allowed her to leave the throne room.
Ramposa III is dead. The nobles are all captured and killed. Finally, the Re Estize Kingdom does not exist anymore. From west to east now lies his mighty territory. His armies had marched inside the territories of the wilderness in the Beastman Kingdom.
The Undead Lieutenant Esrald had killed the Lion King and put all the beastman cities under the control of Nazarick Kingdom. He will give a lot of food to their population and start to educate them like the humans so they can be more… humanized. They will be forbidden to eat anymore intelligent beings or they will be executed immediately.
Zesshi approached and sit upon his lap. He had made a promise to her that he will give her the head of the Elf King. Besides that, his forces will encounter the armies of the Slane Theocracy in the Elf Kingdom. It will not be a problem, but he just wanted to flex and play with that stupid nation for some times and later destroy it.
He wondered how the other nation will think about him. How his armies had invaded four nations like nothing. If they try to create an alliance against him, it would be great. There will be hell to pay if they do such a thing.
"You may go and rest."
The vassals bowed and left the throne room, they even took the corpses outside. Zesshi and Vrakulina stayed inside with their husband.
"There is nobody who can stop you, my dear." said Vrakulina
She was delicately touching his armor with Zesshi.
Suddenly someone knocked on the door. Ainz gave permission to enter inside. It was Clementine, but there was someone else with her.
"My master, I captured her sneaking around with invisibility magic."
Ainz know who this person was. She wore a reddish robe and an uncanny mask which hides her face. He kinda was surprised how Clementine didn't kill her immediately, knowing how her personality is.
"What were you doing?" asked Ainz with a normal voice.
"Find out if you will do evil things."
"And if I did, what will you do?" asked Ainz again.
The person lowered her head. It was impossible to achieve victory against this being and his army.
Ainz sighed.
"Can you three step outside?"
"You know her, my love?" asked Zesshi with curiosity.
"...Yeah"
"Huh?!"
Zesshi observed her for a moment, then she kissed Ainz. The three of them went out of the room leaving the two of them alone. For a moment, only silence prevailed inside the throne room. Ainz spoke...
"It's been a long time Evileye."
Her body started to shiver. She did not want to believe that it was him.
"Are you… Lord M-Momon?"
"Well, I created that name for some reason. My true name is Ainz Ooal Gown."
Evileye was not able to speak. She just kept looking at him. Her face could not be seen because of her mask.
"Did you transform yourself into a-
"No!" Ainz interrupted her. "I was never a human, but I was a pure undead. I just wanted to save this world, but the world let me down. I guess i should thank them. Because of them, I accepted what I am and who I am. I accepted my heritage and became what they feared most. I BECAME THE MONSTER! All I felt was hate and all I desired was vengeance!"
She could feel the pure wrath from Ainz. It was like the world betrayed him, left him for dead with knife on his back and a broken heart, just like the non humans from the 13 heroes.
A fallen hero that turned into a villain.
"Ah, sorry about that. I want to far…
Suddenly Ainz saw Evileye jumping and falling on his body and putting her arms around his neck. His green aura exploded.
"I-I missed you so much you i-idiot! Do you know how much I have suffered without you?! I would have followed you to the end of the world, but-but my friends…"
The mask of Evileye had fallen revealing her beautiful young face and her crimson eyes were filled with tears falling upon his armor. She keeps embracing him and crying.
Ainz slowly embraced and patted her head. He did not know that Evileye had these strong feelings for him, like Zesshi and Vrakulina. Sometimes Ainz did not understand how the girls fall in love with him. He is just a skeleton, not a handsome guy with a nice muscled body and anime hairs.
"Shhh, don't cry Evileye. I told you, one day I will return."
"No, you said, "Perhaps".
"Uh oh."
Evileye was hitting Ainz with her hands like a child.
"Hahaha, don't be so rough. You will hurt yourself."
Both Ainz and Evileye hugged each other like lovers. But suddenly someone opened the door and stopped the fun. It was Zesshi and Vraculina and looked really angry.
"Ah shit."
"So there was something between you two."
"How can you let us wait outside? We want to have fun too!"
"You better take off that armor, my love!"
"Huh?!"
Both of them rushed at Ainz with incredible speed. Now with Evileye, the three of them were upon Ainz trying to take of his armor.
NO! NO! SOMEONE HELP! WRATH! THANATOS! HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
ACHUUUH!
"Uh, that was unexpected. Someone might be mentioning my name." said Wrath and returned to his work.
