Shalltear
When Shalltear Bloodfallen learned of Lord Alexander's intention to explore a different world, fear gripped her heart like icy tendrils. It wasn't just a fear of the unknown, but a fear born from the realization that her beloved Lord might leave Nazarick, abandoning them like the other Supreme Beings had done before.
As the Last of the Supreme Beings, Lord Alexander was the sole remaining pillar of strength and guidance for the denizens of Nazarick. His departure would leave a void that none could fill, and Shalltear couldn't bear the thought of being without him.
However, her fears were somewhat assuaged when Lord Alexander revealed that he would be taking one guardian with him on his journey. The honor fell upon Albedo, much to Shalltear's chagrin. While she respected her fellow guardian, Shalltear couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy at being overlooked for such a crucial role.
But what truly frustrated Shalltear was the lack of enemies surrounding Nazarick. As a guardian and warrior, she longed for the opportunity to prove her strength and loyalty to Lord Alexander.
Nigredo's report of an anomaly several thousand kilometers from Nazarick only served to exacerbate Shalltear's frustration. While the strange flicker of colors and shapes hinted at potential danger, it remained stationary, offering no opportunity for battle or glory.
Something which in turn meant that Shalltear Bloodfallen, while carrying out her sacred service, was denied the opportunity to prove herself in combat by showing Lord Alexander her usefulness and demonstrating her strength and skills to Him.
Certainly, Shalltear Bloodfallen would have traded any such opportunity to keep the abomination of the outside world out of Nazarick, preventing them from defiling the Sanctuary of the Forty-One with their presence. But, with no opportunity to prove herself as a loyal servant to Lord Alexander, Shalltear could not advance in her fight against Albedo.
The fight for Lord Alexander's heart...
Shalltear certainly had absolutely no problem with Lord Alexander having a large harem. Even more so, ten, a hundred, or a million heated naked bodies of girls desiring her Lord seemed more than an arousing picture to her.
But, when it came to the first wife's cherished place, such erotic images gave way to aspiration.
Lord Alexander could have, no, He should have, unless, of course, He wished otherwise, a multitude of wives, concubines, mistresses, sex slaves, playthings, pets, and maybe she could even... Um, Shalltear was getting off-topic again.
Lord Alexander may have had many women, but, unless Lord Alexander heralds otherwise, only one first wife. And here, Shalltear was not about to yield to Albedo even if the latter outranked her in rank as Head of the Floor Guardians.
Her rank meant nothing in such a matter, unless Lord Alexander indicated otherwise, of course.
And so, when Albedo suddenly appeared on her floor, a wide, smug, smile on her face, Shalltear knew that the following news would not please her at all.
—And Albedo being here means, Lord Alexander also arrived at Nazarick and It only been a week—
Shalltear wasn't the smartest, nor did she possess any prophetic powers, but she was one hundred percent right with the assumption that she is about to hear a bad news.
Albedo had only appeared on her floor few times before.
And so, it didn't take great intelligence to know that her appearance again, after so little time, carried news of incredible importance... And what news it was!
Shalltear realized everything the moment she saw Albedo hovering above the floor, literally. It was extremely rare for Albedo to use her wings to fly, in fact, Shalltear could not remember a moment at all when she had heard of such a thing.
And the fact that Albedo was soaring at the moment meant only one thing.
Shalltear understood it all by one look, the confident look and the arrogant smile on Albedo's face, but Albedo just had to say those very words.
"Lord Alexander has bestowed His love upon me."
If [Blood Frenzy] could happen by any other method than blood, Shalltear would have activated it at that moment...
Not seeking to kill Albedo, of course—killing any creature created by the Supreme Beings was not allowed—she simply wanted to destroy her room.
Okay, maybe she wanted to punch Albedo, but her emotions were simply that out of sorts.
And the fact that she was not chastised or censured yet only meant one thing:
Lord Alexander had indeed bestowed His seed upon Albedo.
But before she could even swing once, she was stopped dead by a simple sentence from Albedo:
"Oh, and how would Lord Alexander feel if you were to attack his second wife?"
Second wife? That's all that Shalltear could think. Then who is the first wife? Knowing Albedo, she wouldn't accept the position of second wife if the first wife was a mortal.
If Albedo was willing to accept the position of second wife, it could mean several things. Perhaps Lord Alexander had explicitly ordered her to do so, or maybe Albedo believed that the first wife's position was rightfully bestowed upon another who was more deserving.
But who could this first wife be? Shalltear pondered, her curiosity piqued and her jealousy burning brighter than ever. If Albedo, with her pride and ambition, had willingly accepted the role of second wife, then the first wife must hold a position of great significance in Lord Alexander's heart.
Could it be one of the Supreme Beings, or perhaps another powerful being from a different world? Shalltear's mind raced with possibilities, each one more tantalizing and infuriating than the last.
"And who is the first wife?" Shalltear asked, her voice barely concealing the bitterness and resentment that simmered beneath the surface.
Albedo's smile faltered for a brief moment before she regained her composure, her eyes narrowing slightly. "That, my dear Shalltear, is a matter between Lord Alexander and His first wife," she replied cryptically.
"And you will meet her after Lord Alexander accept you as his woman."
Shalltear's fists clenched at her sides, her nails digging into her palms as she struggled to contain her emotions. She knew better than to press Albedo for more information, especially when it came to matters concerning Lord Alexander's personal life.
"Alright then, I going to meet Lord Alexander now." Shalltear said as he went to see her Lord.
