Nazarick's Rule on Re-Estize

Princess Renner understood the meaning behind it as well, but differently. In her view, Ainz's level was on an unimaginable level, where not only ordinary humans but also the strongest reverts him as the god. The proof of this is the battle in which the strongest of Re-Estize like Gazef, Azuth and Evileye failed, he single handedly crushed the enemies showing the legendary spells above 7th-Tier.

So, if an existence like Ainz, who is the epitome of evil, says that he is collecting forces to confront another powerful entity, then how could Renner believe it. If she didn't knew about the evil nature of Ainz, then she might have believed it. But now, she knows he is an evil being who likes to toy with humans.

He doesn't simply want to conquer the continent, but to manipulate the population to worship and venerate him. It's the same as her nature, but the scale and power is in an unimaginable level. So, how could she not understand Ainz's plan, and in order to entertain him, she had been chosen as the focal point for the Re-Estize Kingdom.

"In that case..."

As a person with demon like personality, she doesn't like to be manipulated. But can she go against the wishes of such an evil entity like Ainz? No! She can't. She has only two choice; follow him and walk in his footstep and enjoy his conquest by his side or stand against him and be trampled over.

She would naturally choose to follow him. Demons are born to follow demon king, and Ainz is the abyss itself. So, she can lower her pride to serve under Nazarick and above the whole world. It has more benefits than going against him,

She continued by lifting the hem of her skirt and bowed with one knee on the ground.

"I, Third Princess of Re-Estize Kingdom, Renner Theiere Chardelon Ryle Vaiself, on the behalf of the Royal family, accept to be under the rule of lord Ainz Ooal Gown."

With that the face of the royal family of the Re-Estize Kingdom has personally handed over the Kingdom to Ainz. It was a personal decision, but that doesn't mean anyone present could object it. She is Princess Renner, the most intelligent human genius they had seen, who is also responsible for the development of the Kingdom till now.

If she hadn't maintain the neutrality and stated her disinterest in the throne, then the King would himself consider giving the throne to her husband and let her control the future development of the Kingdom. So, now that she had taken the step for the Kingdom's benefit who could object her.

[Renner's POV]

I've successfully accomplished what you had hope, lord Ainz Ooal Gown. Now, the Kingdom is in your hand, and the state of the Kingdom, it's none of my concern. You can do whatever you want with this Kingdom; either play and throw it or develop it. I only care about my well-being. With this, I should have marked myself be his servant, that's all that matters.

But also, an entity like Ainz wouldn't deliberately destroy the Kingdom. He might even develop the Kingdom and prosper the lives of the citizen, because the Kingdom is going under the rule of Nazarick. And, if the Kingdom is in its current state forever it'll greatly lower the image of Nazarick in this world, which he wouldn't ever want.

I am sure of one thing that is, for Ainz, Nazarick is more important than any other thing. So, he would surely develop the Re-Estize Kingdom and establish his first mark of foundation in this world. Well, anyway I don't care. If he develops the Kingdom, then I'll also garner its benefits. If not, the I'm sure of improving my image in his eyes to take me Nazarick after the destruction of the Kingdom.

[End of POV]

"Princess? What're you doing without discussing it with the factions?"

One of the representative of the Noble faction said. He was present here on the behalf of the Nobility faction, but he couldn't voice his opinion till now. He was more of afraid to say anything, due to Ainz's presence. So, he didn't even said anything when they talked about the rebellion. He maintained his neutrality without any complains.

If it was Empire, those magic freak would dance in excitement, but he was an ordinary perso. He climbed to his position through the supports of other Nobles. He was a licking dog, so he kept quiet and observed silently. But now that the Princess was looking down on his faction and giving the handle of the country, he had to sum up enough courage to question the princes.

"Yes. Princess Renner. Even though you are a member of Royal family, you can't make such decision without consulting with prince Zanac and the Marquis."

Another one spoke. He was the member of the Royalty faction, sent by Marquis Raeven to be his representative. He was more smart than the previous noble. He directly used the name of another royal family member to rival Renner's position and used the name of Marquis to tell her that the Marquis Raeven has the same power as the royal family, so think carefully.

But would Renner be affected with such threat. Never! Zanac and Marquis were no threat to her. On the contrary, she was giving them the chances and ignoring their schemes. She wasn't interested in throne previously. But now, the situation is different, and she has also got Nazarick on her back.

"Oh, Count Lytton! I'm just doing this to save the Kingdom from the demon invasion. Do you think your Nobility faction has the power to protect the Kingdom? If so, feel free to voice it. I think, among the six great nobles, you have the least private army. So can you guarantee that, the Kingdom won't fall into ruin, if I cooperate with your faction?"

Renner said politely with a smile on her face, but her words were the threats to Count.

"This.. this.."

Count Lytton didn't have any voice to refute. If he interferes in the business dealing with Ainz, then can he guarantee the protection of the Kingdom? And when the Kingdom falls, he would also be responsible for it.

"Oh! you still want to speak. Then, count Lytton, Shall I also speak about your recent incomes. How does a righteous noble person with the status of Count has the funds greater than the Marquis. Is it due to being the member of the six great nobles? If so, then should I also speak about the duties of the six great nobles?"

Renner, then turned her attention to the representative of the Royal faction.

"And you said something about Zanac and the Marquis right? Oh Marquis Blumrush, how's the funds coming from Baharuth Empire? Is it enough for you or should you also plan to disrupt the governance of the royal family for the increment?"

"You.. you t.. talk nonsense."

When the words fall, all the people there were stunned. The representative of Royal faction who supported royalty had betrayed the Kingdom for some monetary gains. It was hard to believe. But when they saw the reaction of Marquis Blumrush, they started to believe it.

Marquis Blumrush was panicking and stuttering his words. It was clear that what Renner said was the truth.

"Y.. You slander me. Wait until prince Zanac confronts you."

In response to Renner's questions, Marquis Blumrush and Count Lytton couldn't say anything to justify their innocence and only declare threat to her. They made an ugly face and directly tried to rush out of the camp. But before he could go, Renner said again.

"It seems some rebels has heard our plan against them. It wouldn't be wise to let them go, right Lakyus?"

Lakyus, who was fuming with anger by the disclosure of the betrayal of the Marquis along with the count's irresponsibility, readied her sword and directly jumped to block their path. When she was going to cut them to death, Ainz stopped her.

"Killing the two of the important figures of nobles would increase the suspicions of others. Let Shalltear handle it."

Lakyus nodded her head and, then Shalltear went towards the nobles who were startled to the ground.

"Look in to my eyes. You will forget what happened here today. You came here, participated in the meeting and everything was normal. No major discussion was held. Now return to your camps."

"Yes Miss."

Both the nobles obediently nodded their head and went out of the camp. They had already forgot the events happened here. Then, the atmosphere changed again to the handover of the Kingdom. No one present objected her.

Gazef and Azuth, who were silently witnessing the events unfold in front of them, followed their Princess. They also thought this was the last chance to prevent the fall of the Kingdom from inside. The behaviour of these two nobles had already convinced them that the present governance system wasn't suitable for the Kingdom.

"Very well. In the name of Ainz Ooal Gown, I promise to save this Kingdom with fewer casualties against both; internal conflicts and demon invasion. The Kingdom will be a vassal of Nazarick, and the terms will be worked out at a later date."

He paused for a moment and told Shalltear to not cause an outburst before continuing.

"Princess Renner can be the queen of the new Re-Estize Kingdom under Nazarick's rule. As a reason for the vassalage, the two levels should have a relationship in order to maintain the decorum of royalty in front of the citizens. The reason for this can be announced as the overlord of Nazarick helped the Kingdom in need. While also taking the Kingdom as a vassal to ensure the citizens' lives. Is this alright with you, Princess of Re-Estize Kingdom?"

To maintain the image of the righteous invader, Ainz had to also think about the image of the current ruler. If he invaded the Kingdom without considering the royal family, then the citizens might not take liking to it. But if he made Renner queen and established his own rule, sitting above Renner, then the citizens wouldn't be rebellious.

He would be the rightful ruler of the Re-Estize Kingdom, but the current ruler or to be precise the royalty would also keep their power. If princess Renner ascends to the throne, then marrying the saviour of the Kingdom and handling the rule to him wouldn't be against the will of the citizens. Because Nazarick is more powerful than their Kingdom and the condition of their Kingdom would only deteriorate if they were to oppose their rule.

"I'm grateful for your consideration about the image of the royal family. May I also inquire about Nazarick's power , considering that the Kingdom will be Nazarick's vassal?"

"You don't have to worry about that. The Overseer of Guardians, Albedo, will come to you with an adequate proposal and planning, as to not harm any sides."

"Then, I thank you again for your benevolent kindness. With this, we have an unofficial deal."

"It might be unofficial in your case, but when anyone swears loyalty to me, either they follow my every command or take their own life. Now, I ask you for the final confirmation. Princess Renner Theiere Chardelon Ryle Vaiself and Lakyus Alvein Dale Aindra, what will be your answers?"

They both had made up their mind, one for her own benefits and another for the Kingdom. Without any hesitation, they both answered in sync.

"I accept."

"Very well. [Mass Teleportation]"

All of the people in the camp immediately got transported to the Kazet Plain. They were shocked by the sudden teleportation but regained their calm rather quickly.

"Come here, Lakyus."

"O..Okay"

Ainz grabbed his staff and casted the summoning magic with the power of the staff of Ainz Ooal Gown, which was buffed by the flow of [Wrath].

"[Come forth: Primal Star Elemental]"

Then, a sudden surge of power gathered in front of them, and a small white sphere appeared. The sphere expanded to form a monster of 15 meters covered in white light.

"This is Primal Star Elemental, which is the spirit of the incarnation of a star. I'll attach this spirit to your body and refine your sword with star energy. Your current power will be on the same level as Evileye and gradually increase by a level per year. But, you will still lose to her due to your inexperience."

Primal Star Elemental was the level 90 monsters that possess destructive strength and durability. It's considered to be the highest tier of elementals. Lakyus nodded her head, while others were still unable to comprehend anything.

"[Combination Magic: Spirit Avatar-Soul Imprint]"

The Primal Star Elemental disappeared, and only one of the fifth power of the sphere remained. Then it went straight to Lakyu's chest, and her body started to shine in white light, while her demonic sword was being filled with star energy.

This was the result of the [Combination Magic: Spirit Avatar-Soul Imprint], a magic spell developed by Ainz after coming to the New World. It was a high level magic which combines two different types of magic, creating a new possibility of magic comparable to highest of 10th-Tier. But, it couldn't be used to combine any type of magic. There are certain conditions, that's needed to be fulfilled.

"You have gained the affinity to star energy and can summon the energy from stars, in respect to your physique. Your demonic sword has changed into a star sword and is compatible with your body. Heed my words as a final warning. The spirit inside of you was summoned by me and considers me as its master. So, it eliminates anyone who poses a threat to its master without any exception."

Lakyus gulped hard as she felt a running chill on her body due to star spirit.

"I've sworn undying loyalty to you, lord Ainz. You can put your faith in me."

"Alright. Now for the Princess, I hope you know the outcome of your every action. [Mass Teleportation]"

They again returned to the camp. It was already late in the evening, so a soldier came to inform about food and the time of their return to Royal Capital. In the midst of that, Albedo messaged me.

'Lord Ainz, all the necessary things are ready. The rats have entered the surrounding of our domain.'

'Well done, Albedo. Proceed with the plan. I'll reward you sweetly after this mission.'

'I.. Ahh.. I'll wait... for that... moment to come.'

As she heard about her beloved's sweet rewards, she couldn't help but moan. Cutting the message, Ainz then acted with a serious expression on his face.

"I'll head back to Nazarick. Someone was bold enough to ignore my warning and try to invade my territory. They should pay for their arrogance."

The evil aura erupted, covering the golden aura but gradually shrank into its previous form. All of them felt chills, and cold sweat dripped through their veins.

"L.. Lord Ainz, can we watch the battle of Nazarick. They might be quite good if they had the arrogance to ignore your warning."

Evileye said cautiously. She just felt a trance of anger from Ainz and didn't want to anger him more. Soon Lakyus also followed.

"Ye.. Yes, Lord Ainz. Could we?"

"They have just reached the limit of the human body, but it seems they have got quite the fancy equipment. So, it won't be such a long battle. But if you want to fight or gain experience, then feel free to come."

"Thank you."

Both said in unison. Ainz then turned towards Renner and said.

"This will be the farewell for now. You can go to the capital and manage things for the time being. Soon, my aide will come to help you."

Renner nodded her head and bowed her head.

'I wish them a piece of luck to invade the territory of such a being while ignoring his warning.'

Then, Ainz, Shalltear, Evileye and Lakyus teleported to the designated place.

[Slane Theocracy]

In the middle of the night, a meeting was called between the high ranking officials. All of them were anguished, growling in despair, except one, who was smiling while thinking of something. The reason for this despair was a short message from the high ranking officer of Black Scripture.

"Black Scripture, who was on a mission to subjugate Catastrophe Dragon Lord, and get more information about Ainz Ooal Gown, has been exterminated."

Within a few days of their mission, the Theocracy's strongest group was eliminated, and their last reported location was the Re-Estize Kingdom."
