overlord holy black dragon king

After finishing the call with Nabe, Ainz took the initiative to contact Lupus Regina.

When the connection was made, there was no immediate response from the other side. Instead, after about two seconds of silence, Ainz spoke first.

"Lupus Regina?"

"Yes, Lord Ainz."

The stuttering in her speech was completely out of her usual character, which made Ainz feel a little puzzled.

'Is it the fear of being punished? '

He only informed Nfirea of ​​going to Karn Village temporarily, saying "there will be new guests coming" instead of "going to meet new guests".

Although Nfirea didn't arrive at Karn Village on time, and Lupusregina had reported this to him at the time, but he allowed Lupusregina to check the situation.

Even if someone robbed her on the way, or some other accident happened, the fault should not be attributed to Lupusregina.

If you have to blame it, the one who doesn't think carefully is the one who should be held accountable!

Ainz did not intend to talk about this topic, but first confirmed with the other party:
"About what I told you before, there will be new guests arriving. Have all the guests arrived safely?"

"Ah, about this. I'm very sorry, Mr. Ainz Nfirea was kidnapped, and only his grandma escaped to Karn Village."

Another intermittent tone.

Especially when it came to "Lord Ainz", he seemed a little hesitant, as if he was not used to the title.

Moreover, a faint gasp could be heard in the voice as he tried to calm down his breathing after the battle.

"Are you okay, Lupusregina, your voice sounds a little tired."

"It's nothing, Lord Ainz. I was chasing the man who kidnapped Nfirea, but unfortunately I only killed one of his companions, and the other escaped. Now I'm looking for his whereabouts."

This time, the voice barely returned to normal.

"Because he let the other party run away, he was afraid of being punished, so he sounded a little trembling," Ainz couldn't help thinking.

The tomb is full of loyal subordinates, so there is no need to doubt the authenticity of the words, not to mention that the control interface does not show the defection of personnel other than Shalltear.

It looked like he was being overwhelmed.

Immediately afterwards, Ainz continued in a comforting tone: "I see, it's not your fault, it's my lack of consideration. If it really counts, it's my fault. You should go back to Karn Village first, and Nabe will take care of Nfirea."

"Yes, Ainz-sama."

After finishing the call and confirming that there was no problem with Lupusregina, Ainz took Albedo back to the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

All that remains to be done is to respond to the request from the adventurer's guild leader, think about the strategy to deal with Shalltear, and the "result" on Nabe's side.

As long as it wasn't death or a "betrayal" like Shalltear's, Ainz would not care about this "coincidence" no matter how many times it happened.

However.
In Ye Lantel's hotel, this cruel and powerful maid showed a completely different side.

He curled up obediently beside Melo, his soft body trembling slightly due to the tension.

After the communication was over, he hurriedly climbed to the side of the bed, half kneeling down respectfully.

There was awe in the eyes looking up at Mello.

"That, Master Melo, I have already replied according to your instructions."

"Well, you're doing fine."

Mello nodded, with a rare expression of satisfaction on his face.

The "Memory Replacement" cast on Lupusregina was all over, and the proper communication was the final test for her and the stability of this effect. During this period, his hand was wandering back and forth on the back and collarbone, and if any abnormality appeared, he would immediately twist his neck or pierce his heart.

There will never be any slack.

However, it looks like it should have been a success.

Melo got up from the bed, stood in front of Lupusregina, looked down at her and said:
"Then, you go back first, don't mention anything about today, including me, to anyone, understand?"

"Yes!"

The resolute voice highlighted her loyalty, even to Lord Ainz, she would not reveal half of it.

At this moment, in her heart, her "Creator" was the one she listened to first, compared to the Supreme Ainz-Wur-Gon.

Even if it will become an enemy with the former partner.

Melo smiled in satisfaction. In fact, he only modified one place - the creator of Lupus Regina was Melo Oriclus.

Just replacing this memory is enough to gain Lupus Regina's loyal loyalties.

'Should I say it's an NPC?'

Existence that follows man-made settings is like a machine.

Let alone Ainz, if he had such a group of NPCs, he would never doubt their loyalty.

Unless his name or what happened today is disclosed, no one would think that "Lupusregina may be manipulated".

Then, Mello waved to her, indicating that she could leave.

As long as there is no problem with the "memory", he believes that Lupusregina will carry out his orders very well. If she stays here for too long, it may cause unnecessary suspicion.

Moreover, there was a maid who delivered to his door, waiting for him to "educate".

After receiving the order, Lupusregina, who was about to leave, turned around in front of the door, making a final confirmation.

"Master Melo, do you really need to tell Master Ainz about your news?"

"Hmph, have you forgotten what I just said to you not long ago?"

"No, no. Just"

Like a scolded child, he bowed his head and confessed to his parents.

She didn't dare to disobey her master's order, but there were still some doubts and reluctance for her companions in her heart.

Looking at the posture of the other party, Melo stepped forward and gently stroked her head, and said in a gentle tone as much as possible:

"I know you can't bear to develop an enemy relationship with your former companions. Even I don't want you to be enemies with them, but if there is no other choice, you can only do this, right?"

".Yes."

"You don't need to have too many worries, just trust me and follow my steps, don't you? Or do you think my decision is wrong?"

"No, no, Lord Melo! How could you make a mistake? It's all because I can't see through your true meaning!"

The doubts in my heart were forcibly cleared, and I returned to the lively and strong maid posture when I first met. The difference is that this time the strength is to show the strength of loyalty.

"Well, then I've wronged you and stayed in Karn Village for the time being, following Ainz's orders. The next time you contact me, remember to find a place where no one is around."

"Yes, I understand, Lord Melo!"

After Lupusregina left, Melo was left alone in the room.

The room that was supposed to return to peace was instantly filled with his unbearable laughter.

"Although the process was a bit cumbersome, the result was better than I expected."

"The plan is also well underway."

"I really want to see it."

"Ainz's expression when he found out that his subordinates had betrayed him."

"Hum~!"

"Then, the next one is you, Nabe."
