Although Ainz couldn't see what happened, he didn't need to, ever since the day he cultivated the Wyvern king cultivation technique, all his senses seemed to have been transformed and become heightened to the point, he could even see what was several meters away as if it was right in front of him.
He had realized something was wrong with Lilith, ever since she discovered he had begun to take interest in cultivation books, she was always assuring him to focus on his lessons even when Olivia reported to her what he did, he noticed while she didn't scold him she also didn't say anything either.
It was like she was silently supporting him, but lately, she would slightly reprimand him, it was then he noticed something was off, it didn't seem like she was doing so to discourage him but as if she was afraid of something.
The truth was that he already knew it must have had something to do, with his father Andrew but he didn't want to believe he would be so cruel as to treat her the way he did, although he didn't give two shits if he cared about him or not, but at least Lilith shouldn't be treated the same way.
Recalling Lilith pleading voice, Ainz blamed himself if he hadn't allowed himself to be discovered by Olivia, Lilith wouldn't have needed to beg his father, and be humiliated because she wanted her son to become a wizard, the more he thought about it the more his face darkened he had never wanted to kill someone so badly like he wanted to do now.
Although he would have loved to rush towards where his father was, but he decided against it, even if he could manage to kill him by using all his free attribute points, what about the patriarch? Who was levels above Andrew himself? He was definitely not sure he could take him on, at least not at his current level.
Putting aside the fact it would blow his cover as well, what would happen to Lilith? His existence was already making her life a living hell, he didn't want to worsen it any further than it already was. With the most solemn voice he could muster, Ainz swore to pay Andrew back for what he did to his mother Lilith.
At the same time, Ainz realized he needed to readjust his plans previously he had been hoping he would be able to get a magic lesson teacher, although he wasn't betting on it, but from what he had just witnessed he would need to focus on the path of cultivator for the meantime, luckily for him, he had managed to create a solid rock foundation by cultivating the wyvern king technique and the training he did.
Another thing was although his father had refused to get him a magic lesson teacher, he wasn't exactly bothered instead he was happy, while he wouldn't be getting a magic lesson he would be sent to be a family guard, and from there he would be able to gorge their strength, and as well try to see their techniques since they were said to be cultivators, at least from what he had heard from the maids.
With his plan set in motion, Ainz decided to see it through. In one of the guard buildings, a kid about twelve years old could be seen struggling with four large buckets of water as he carried them to a group of guards sweating from training.
This was none other than Ainz, who was doing chores for the soldiers, since his plan was to become a guard as well.
Since he had understood he couldn't get a magic lesson teacher, nor achieve anything just by reading books from the library, the only way now was to become a guard. Although he already had the wyvern king cultivation technique.
He felt it wasn't everything that he needed to become an actual cultivator, the reason he thought so was simply because, in the place where his level was in his attribute panel, there was also his rank but no matter how much he trained or his levels increase not for once did his rank increase, so he guess both the levels and rank were entirely different, while the levels might mean the steps, the rank might mean his actual cultivation level.
This was why he had decided to focus his attention on becoming a guard, by becoming a guard he would get to understand if his notions about his level and rank were right or wrong, also, if not for the fact he wanted to avoid being chased down by the entire kalamas household, he would have long tried to break into their vault of techniques.
The only two people who had problems with his decision to become a guard, were Lilith and Olivia, while his teacher scolded him, his mother's reaction was even more dramatic and exaggerated, if anyone were to see her reaction they would think he was going to suicidal war were he was going to lose his life.
Even when he had assured her he wasn't going to die she still kept crying and pleading with him, although Ainz felt bad there was nothing he could do, even if he could become strong by eating and sleeping while totally relying on the system, he didn't want to, because what if a day comes where he no longer had the system, what happen to him? Wouldn't that make him a sitting duck?
At the same time, Lilith cried for half a day before giving up and making him swear he would come back to her alive, at the end he had no choice but to not only promise but also swear he would come back alive to her.
