Capítulo 58: Chapter 58: Orders
The tension in the room was palpable as the two exchanged pointed glances, each silently vying for my favor.
Sensing the tension escalating, I quickly intervened. "Stop it, you two," I said, trying to diffuse the situation before it spiraled out of control.
"Yes, you should stop, Demiurge and Sebas, because I know Lord Alexander wishes to be with me," Albedo declared confidently, her voice dripping with determination. "It's like we're going on a honeymoon before marriage," she murmured the second half, a mischievous twinkle in her eyes.
I couldn't help but chuckle at Albedo's boldness, but her words did little to alleviate the brewing rivalry between Demiurge and Sebas.
"You will all get a chance to accompany me, so you don't have to fight with each other," I added, hoping to ease the tension.
Demiurge and Sebas exchanged a begrudging glance, but eventually nodded in agreement. "Very well, My Lord," Demiurge conceded "We shall await your decision."
With that, the tension in the room seemed to dissipate, replaced by a sense of reluctant cooperation. As the Guardians turned their attention back to me, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.
"Now, let's focus on the task at hand," I continued, as the air around me changed. "As we prepare to venture into different worlds, it's imperative that we strengthen Nazarick's defenses and information network."
The Guardians nodded in agreement, their expressions serious as they awaited my next instructions. Time to lay down the law.
I paused for dramatic effect, letting the weight of my words sink in before proceeding.
"Firstly, I want each floor of Nazarick to increase its readiness level by one. We can't afford any weaknesses in our defense, especially when exploring unfamiliar territories. I want every Guardian to be prepared for any eventuality."
As I spoke, I could see the Guardians springing into action, already formulating plans in their minds to carry out my orders. It was a reassuring sight, knowing that they were ready to follow my lead.
"Secondly," I continued, raising a finger for emphasis. "I want to strengthen our information network within Nazarick. We need to be aware of any potential threats or opportunities that may arise, both within our domain and beyond. I expect each of you to utilize your skills and resources to gather intel and keep me informed of any developments."
The Guardians nodded in understanding, their determination evident in their expressions. It was clear that they understood the importance of this task, and they were ready to do whatever it took to fulfill their duties.
"And finally, I want to establish a dedicated group tasked with collecting knowledge and artifacts from the worlds we visit. There's a wealth of untapped resources out there, and it's our duty to acquire them for the betterment of Nazarick."
The Guardians nodded in understanding and with union they kneel down.
"We have heard your orders, My Lord," they said in unison, their voices filled with reverence and determination. "We shall carry out your will with utmost diligence and efficiency."

As the pressure that had weighed heavily on their heads dissipated, a collective sigh of relief swept through the room. Though the departure of their revered master had left them feeling apprehensive and uncertain, the sudden release of tension brought a sense of calm to the atmosphere.
Still, no one dared to raise their heads, the lingering presence of their master's departure hanging palpably in the air. It was as though they were hesitant to break the silence, afraid that any movement might disturb the fragile peace that had settled over them.
After a while, someone let out a sigh, the sound echoing softly in the quiet room. It was a small gesture, but it served as a subtle acknowledgment that the tense atmosphere had finally dissipated. With the pressure lifted, the inhabitants of the room began to relax, their bodies no longer held captive by the invisible force that had kept them rooted to the ground.
Slowly, one by one, they began to raise their heads, casting cautious glances at each other as they took in the scene around them.
"What in the world was that? I felt like I was about to be squished like a pancake," Aura exclaimed, her voice tinged with disbelief.
"He was like a completely different person before," Shalltear added, her crimson eyes wide with astonishment.
"As one would expect of Alexander-sama, his mere presence would have such a profound effect on us Guardians..." Demiurge mused, his tone thoughtful as he processed the events that had just unfolded.
"As... A... Supreme... Being... His... Might... Overmatches... Ours... But... I... Did... Not... Expect... Him... To... Be... This... Powerful," Cocytus remarked, his voice slow and deliberate as he struggled to find the right words.
"Exactly! He showed us his ability as an absolute ruler in response to our feelings... as expected of our creator. The zenith of the Forty One Supreme Beings, and the kindest one... " Albedo gushed, her eyes shining with adoration as she spoke of their beloved master.
The room was filled with a sense of reverence and admiration as the Guardians reflected on the power and wisdom of their creator. Though their master's departure had left them shaken, it had also served as a reminder of his unparalleled strength and benevolence.
"Then, I shall take my leave first. I do not know where Alexander-sama has gone, but I should stay by his side," Sebas announced, his voice tinged with determination as he prepared to depart.
Jealousy flashed across some of the female Guardians' faces, including Albedo's, but she quickly quashed her feelings and replied, "I understand. Then, Sebas, serve Lord Alexander well and do not disgrace him. Report to me if anything happens. In particular, if Lord Alexander summons me, you must let me know immediately. Everything else is of secondary importance to that!"
Sebas nodded solemnly. "I understand, Albedo. If I waste too much time here, I will not have enough to properly serve Lord Alexander, which would be disrespectful. Therefore, forgive my abrupt departure, but I must take my leave. Floor Guardians, I bid you all a good day."
With his farewells spoken, Sebas immediately jogged away, his steps echoing through the chamber as he hurried to carry out his duties.
"Very well. Then, let us move on to our plans for the future. And quickly finish the orders our master has given us," Albedo declared, her voice steady as she turned her attention to the remaining Guardians.
The Guardians nodded in agreement, their expressions serious as they prepared to discuss the tasks ahead.
