Chapter 24 (Too sleepy to think of title)

"Welcome back my lord," Albedo said respectfully upon my arrival at Nazarick, I nodded lightly toward her while taking my throne,

"How are things going?" I asked lightly while taking a seat. I left my avatar to deal with the whole fainted and badly injured stuff, I will be busy here.

"Khajiit would be turned into an Overlord tomorrow and would begin creating an army of undead for you my lord. Although there is a limited number of Undead he could create, we would equip him with gears and items that would make him the strongest Necromancer." Albedo said to which I nodded lightly for her to go on.

"Clementine is being trained, she would make a good cannonfolder one day... or maybe food for those of Nazarick who might feel hungry. Respectfully, I don't see the value in keeping her." Albedo said lightly. Khajiit, Albedo could understand, but for Clementine? that was another story. Clementine was weak.

"Never underestimate the distance someone seeking approval is willing to go. For now, she is a pawn, and with the heart and motivation she has to prove herself to me, she could do just about anything." I said lightly while looking at Demiurge who entered the throne room with a bright smile.

"I haven't heard a report of the princess, how did things go?" I asked calmly, to which Demiurge bowed deeply before the throne.

"My apologies my lord, I wished to tell you as soon as possible." He said respectfully, that the reason he didn't report sooner had to do with the new sheep I gifted him, and had him work on. Adding the fact I was out, he didn't have the chance to report to me.

"I'm not displeased, I know you were busy... it worries me that you might be overwhelmed," I said lightly, stunning Demiurge who shook his head.

"Not at all my lord, it's my pleasure to be of service to you. I'm not worthy to receive such high concern from you," Demiurge said quickly, to which I nodded with a smile, moved by his love.

"The Princess has fully submitted to Nazarick, she was more than willing to sell out her whole kingdom for the chance to be with her pet... The only thing human about her is her body, everything else makes her... unique." Demiurge said, catching Albedo's interest as she didn't think a human could get Demiurge's approval like this.

"But I don't understand, my lord. How do you plan to make her your wife?" Demiurge asked while looking at me in confusion, and at those words, my head fell to the side. 

"Demiurge, you watch your tongue. Do you think that insect is worthy of lord Ainz!" Albedo growled but paused when I raised my hand to quiet her down.

"What do you mean?" I asked calmly

"I thought Lord Ainz wanted her as a wife. Why else go through the troubles when we can easily mind-control her?" Demiurge said with an uneasy voice.

"Why do you think I want a wife?" I asked to which Demiurge paused for a second, before slowly speaking.

"The mission of all life is to pass on their seeds, when you gained a life I wondered if you would have such an instinct as well so I have been closely watching. When Lord Ainz saw Laykus and the other members of Blue Roses, I knew then that you desired her..." Demiurge said while lowering his head deeply, enduring Albedo's killing intent.

"... the mission of all life is to pass on their seeds? I guess you're right, but I have been thinking of getting a wife long before then. If by chance one day I die, I wish to leave someone behind to hold all of you together, I'm sure a civil war might break out if one day I were to die... I would like to avoid that." I said lightly, shocking everyone, but before they could speak I had them all remain quiet

"I have no interest in dying any time soon, but there are no absolutes in this world," I said lightly, leaving all of them quiet. That was a cruel fact none of them wished to acknowledge, but it was the fact.

"I have also heard that a few of you desire for me to have a child, so I talked with Toph about this matter. You all wish for a younger sibling, and I would be lying if I'm not interested in the concept of having someone give birth to a child of mine, instead of creating them." I said lightly, shocking everyone.

"But I also have the uneasy feeling of you all feeling unloved, the last thing I would ever want is for you all to think I love my bio child over you," I said with a tired sigh, shattering the hearts of all who were in the throne room.

"My lord, please let this matter not weigh upon your mind anymore. The very thought that you care so much for our selfish desires shall forever warm my soul." Albedo said moved to tears, Demiurge, along with the battle maids were also in tears... although I was confused as to how Demiurge was crying. He didn't have eyeballs, 

"Loyalty and love for me is felt, and it moves me to no limit... but this reminds me of another matter. I wish for Cocytus to be more than simply a weapon that can't think, I want him to be able to think." I said calmly, leaving the 2 stunned for a moment.

"I understand my lord, do you have a target in mind?" Demiurge asked to which I nodded

"The Dragon Kingdom seems to be facing some problems with the demi-humans, I plan to land support to them, and through that, we can make our moves to swallow them. But that's too far into the future, I will instead have Cocytus lead an army to conquer a lizard men village that was discovered by the Atomic Heart Twins. I will leave the test to you Demiurge to play out. Cocytus's goal is to conquer, and not slaughter. Have the Lizardman unite to combat Cocytus... and Cocytus isn't allowed to step foot on to the battlefield." I said to which Demiurge nodded.

"I shall go speak with the Golden Princess then I will start working with the Baharuth Empire... time that guy starts stressing," I said softly to myself, which drew the confusion of Demiurge and Albedo, but I teleported away without saying a word... leaving them in deep thought about my plans.

Renner Theiere Chardelon Ryle Vaiself is the Third Princess of the Re-Estize Kingdom. While publicly known as the "Golden Princess," she is actually a yandere infatuated with her bodyguard, Climb.

At that moment, I sat before this princess, who had a blank and emotionless look while she kneeled before me.

"As you are now, you're not worthy of joining Nazarick, so I wish to perfect you," I said calmly, stunning Renner whose eyes widened, but she didn't dare to look up to look at me.

"Your weird outlook on life... it's beautiful in my opinion, the one flaw is that you try so hard to be something you're not. You would never be human, you're what those humans would call a monster." I said calmly, taking a sip of the tea.

"When you truly join me, I wish to reincarnate you into something new, free from the chains your human body places on you... but we need to kill that final strands of humanity you so foolishly hold onto." I said lightly while tapping the table with a finger.

"I can just tell it to die... but I rather you do personal growth on your own. I rather you come to accept the fact you were a monster born in a human body... and Don't worry, I'm not one to force others. You can remain just the way you are, although you would not truly join Nazarick, instead, you would have your wishes fulfilled once this kingdom is taken over and nothing more." I said while getting up to leave.

"Take some time to sleep over this, I will come back next week to hear your answer," I said calmly.

"I will kill it," Renner said causing me to pause, I turned to look at her in shock, not expecting she would kill her pet dog. After all, it was that dog that pushed her to be the ideal princess. It was that dog that pushed her to try and be more human, all because she was in love with that dog's eyes.

"Why so?" I asked with an interested look, Renner looked me straight in the eyes and spoke.

"All my life... you and the people of Nazarick were the only ones to ever understand me. I rather be amongst people who view the real me as one of their own, than have to put on an act all my life." Renner said to which I smiled... but was her choice shocking?

Of course, it wasn't shocking if you thought about it. Ever since Renner's birth, her intelligence, observational skills, comprehension, creativity, leadership, and every other aspect concerning ruler-ship were overdeveloped. Possessing advanced intellect, Renner found herself unable to relate to others. The fact that nobody really understood what she said had a huge effect on her mental development and slowly twisted the girl over time until she befriended a young orphan boy who hung on her every word.

That Orphan boy... also her pet, is the main reason she isn't more twisted than she should be. She tried to be the ideal princess because she fell in love with its' eyes... now, would you rather act as something else, or be free and happy amongst people who accept you for being yourself? She wanted to be free and happy amongst those who accepted her for who she was and could understand her thinking.
