"Ainz-sama, are you there?" Albedo said, more worried when she didn't get a response.
I froze for a moment; I didn't expect Albedo to finish her tasks so quickly.
"Yes, Albedo, please come in." It was inevitable, better to address this sooner rather than later. I noticed my voice had become less deep.
After all, Albedo competes in intelligence with Demiurge, surely she'll understand the situation.
And she did, instead of screaming in anger, she simply stood there in shock.
Just in case, I said things only a Nazarick NPC would know. "As you may have noticed, I am Momonga, your creator is Tabula. Do you believe me?"
"Oh, Ainz-sama, it is an honor to see your new form, it is as grand as the previous one," Albedo said, kneeling.
I was surprised that she didn't pounce on me like a beast in heat and understood the situation.
It was a bit disappointing. Unlike Satoru, I don't see the NPCs as 'children of my friends,' so watching Shalltear and Albedo literally fight over my bones was always satisfying.
"Come here, Albedo, let me touch you."
"Yes, Ainz-sama!" the excited succubus said.
Albedo almost ran to where I was.
I started with her chest, removing her dress, exposing her two huge breasts.
"Mmm," Albedo moaned in anticipation.
I started touching Albedo's marshmallows with my hands for the utmost delight of the fallen angel.
Impatient, I began sucking her areolas like a newborn.
"Ainz-sama!" Albedo gave a muffled scream in my ear.
Did she climax? Just from sucking her chest?
What am I doing?! Initially, I just wanted to talk.
Well, mission accomplished.
Ignoring my erection, which was visible through my tunic, I dismissed Albedo.
Yes, I was only wearing a tunic; otherwise, I was naked. I need new clothes.
The succubus must have seen my bulge in the robe because she was drooling.
"Albedo, we will continue this later. Call the guardians except for Victim and Gargantua. I want them in the throne room in two hours. Announce my change of form."
"Eh, but my lord, I can still continue."
"Albedo, behave yourself, I said we will do it later."
"Yes, my beloved Ainz-sama," she said happily, realizing what I had said.
"Oh, and one more thing," I grabbed her horn and pulled her to my face to kiss her.
These horns would be useful in the future.
"Mmmmm," Albedo moaned as I slipped my tongue down her throat.
"You can go now, put on your clothes, you are my woman."
"Yes, Ainz-sama." The succubus was euphoric; I had said she was 'my woman.'
"Oh, and call the head chef, Shihoutu Tokitu, I want a banquet with the guardians now that I can eat."
Once Albedo left the room as happy as a clam, I sat on my bed.
"I have to prepare my speech, what reasons do I have for this form…"
x-x-x-x
The two hours felt like an eternity.
The anxiety and nerves took over me.
Although deep down I knew I would do well, I had become an expert at pretending to be Satoru.
Minutes passed, and the guardians were already in the throne room.
Reactions didn't take long to appear; I noticed how everyone widened their eyes except for Albedo, who already knew.
Although Cocytus was a bit hard to read, I guessed he was surprised.
The most notable were Shalltear's eyes, who was currently drooling.
"I give you permission to speak."
"My lord, what a magnificent form, I am honored to serve you," Demiurge said.
"You are as beautiful as the dawn," said an enamored Shalltear.
"I agree," said Aura excitedly. "You look great, Ainz-sama!!"
"Shalltear, Aura, do you think the dawn is comparable to Ainz-sama?" said Albedo astutely. "Ainz-sama is simply the most beautiful in existence."
"No, of course not, I'm sorry, Ainz-sama," Shalltear apologized, while Aura glared daggers at Albedo.
I ignored it; I found their catfights entertaining.
"Ummm, y-you look good, Ainz-sama," Mare said stuttering, "b-but why did you change your form?"
"I think the same, it doesn't matter how the supreme one looks, but why did you decide to change?" Cocytus asked.
"What are the objectives of your magnanimous plan?" Demiurge said excitedly.
"Guardians, if I give you all the answers, how will you improve?" I said, dodging the question.
"I'm sorry, Ainz-sama, I will strive to serve you better in the future."
"Besides, I have arranged a banquet with you all. Now I have basic needs, make sure everyone in Nazarick knows."
This impressed the guardians, who had varied reactions.
"I understand, I will inform the head chef, I will have them prepare food worthy of a supreme being."
"It will not be necessary, I already informed him beforehand," Albedo said smiling.
"Understood."
I understand what is happening here. By informing Albedo first, I am giving her more importance than the rest of the guardians, which makes Demiurge uncomfortable, as he is in a power struggle to be the most useful NPC.
I will have to assign more work to Demiurge, a pity, since I don't know what to order him to do now.
In this story, I had prohibited Demiurge from experimenting on innocents under the pretext that Ulbert would not have wanted it.
'Ulbert hated how power accumulated in a few and abused the weakest irresponsibly, polluting the world. I am sure he would not want you to mistreat the weak, even humans.'
Thanks to that, Demiurge has been more selective with his prisoners in his farm, but since I am not the original Ainz, I don't really know what he does, I prefer not to know.
"Demiurge, I charge you with the relocation of the Quagoa in the Abelion hills. Additionally, I want something else from you: you will be my emissary to the Holy Kingdom of Roble. I want to send a message to the queen of that nation."
"Then, the plan for the Holy Kingdom of Roble is canceled?" Demiurge said surprised. Despite my speech that Ulbert believed in justice, the demon continued doing his own thing.
He thought that the end justifies the means.
The end, of course, was that everyone falls under my perfect reign.
"I'm afraid so."
"I know you said a moment ago that I can't expect to get all the answers, but did I do something wrong?"
I saw Demiurge's desperation and Albedo's smile.
"Not at all, Demiurge, your performance for Nazarick is remarkable, I have simply found a better way to bring the Holy Kingdom of Roble into the fold."
"I… understand, Ainz-sama, excuse my audacity," said the archdemon with his tail on the floor and his ears drooping.
Now, with everything said, I was about to close the meeting, but a voice interrupted me.
"Then how will Ainz-sama conquer the Holy Kingdom?"
"Shalltear, I think Ainz-sama said we had to find our own answers."
"No, let her, Albedo, it's a good question," I interrupted. "The answer is simple, I will court the queen."
Silence fell in the room.
Until the three girls in the room screamed.
"What!"
"What!"
"Eh."
