Chapter 3

Ainz returned to the office where the Floor Guardians and now the entirety of Pleiades. Demiurge was still in the middle of the room, showing no emotion, or atleast appearing to show none. When Ainz sat down, all of them bowed; Demiurge lower than others. He asked them to rise and told his report," I have questioned the human. I now know for a fact that she is in fact Calca Bessarez."

"How my lord?" asked Demiurge.

"Before I entered the room, Demiurge, I cast Greatest Insight to be able see her pulse, her brain system, and everything else. When I asked her the question, about her name she answered honestly."

"She could be a doppler Lord Ainz," said Sebas.

"Indeed, Sebas. I thought that as well, but by checking both her muscle and neurological systems, and I can confirm that she was human."

"Well, what should we do now my lord?" asked Shalltear. "Should we dispose of her? Entoma could use some new parts." Entoma clicked with glee.

"No, I will not," Ainz said, "This girl has the extremely valuable information. The ability to come back from the dead without using any resurrection magic. On top of that, she has memories of death. True death. Both of which are useful to the Tomb of Nazarick."

"I see Lord Ainz. Forgive my foolishness, please!" Shalltear apologized.

"Its alright Shalltear, but the girl was also being very mysterious. She hardly answered any of my questions" he turned to Demiurge, "Demiurge, did you do anything especially for her before her death?"

"Nothing really out of the ordinary, Lord Ainz," answered Demiurge.

"Hmm...I see. One other question, was Calca Bessarez pregnant when she died Demiurge."

"Why do you ask Lord Ainz?" Albedo questioned vehemently "Do you plan to take her to your bed?"

"Albedo I-"

"Oh, please don't Lord Ainz!" Albedo yelled, there was no stopping her now. "That lower life form does not deserve your greatness!"

"Albedo-"

"She is nothing! Are you attracted to blondes? If so, I shall dye my hair immediately!"

"Albedo that is really not-"

"I shall also wear less clothing if that is what you desire! Although, I do not know what I shall wear? Maybe, something more homely such as maid uniform, or a kimono! If Lord Ainz desire it so, I will go naked if-"

"ALBEDO!" Ainz yelled "It is not that. When I was examining her vitals, I noticed that there seemed to be two bodies in her. Upon examining further, I realised that this was this in her stomach. In short, she is pregnant."

"Are you sure Lord Ainz?" Demiurge asked.

"Yes. I will be sending Yuri to deal with that," Ainz said as he turned to the maid. " Yuri your job is to take care of her and help her, but remember these two important points. One, find out whose baby it is, and two, find out what she experienced after her death. She didn't open up to me, but maybe she will open up to you."

"I will do my best Lord Ainz," replied Yuri Alpha.

"Everyone, at this point, Calca Bessarez is under my protection. If anyone harms her, it as if they are harming me. Is that clear?" questioned Ainz.

"Yes, Lord Ainz!" They all replied, and then they all exited the room to do their jobs.

Calca was deep in sleep. It was the first time in a long time that she was able to sleep. When someone opened the door though, she immediately awoke, stood, and bowed. In front of her, stood a maid. She had glasses, her hair tied up in a bun, and weird, giant green bracelet with spikes on her arms.

"There is no need for you to bow," she stated.

"I just..." what could she say. There was no way on earth that she, a maid, could understand what she had been through. On top of that, if she ever said something that her masters did not like they would beat her, who was to say that this maid was different. Maybe, Calca Bessarez of the past may have been someone who was brave, but the Calca Bessarez of now was meek and pitiful.

"Just what?"

"Nothing. It is just a habit that I developed," she replied.

"Whatever, sit down," said maid. Calca sat down on the bed. The maid began to check her eyes, her neck, and her ears.

"Ummm...Ma'am?"

"Yes?" replied the maid.

"M-may I ask a question?"

"Yes."

"Ummm...what are you doing?"

"I am checking your body to make sure there isn't any other injuries."

"Oh, a-and what is your name?"

"Yuri. Yuri Alpha." The maid seemed content with the check on the face. She then went on to see the neck, shoulders, arms, waist, legs, and really everything.

"Alright, now turn over," Yuri commanded.

"Wh-why?"

"I need to check for back injuries, or is there something you are there you would rather not let me see?"

"It's just that my back is really ugly and -"

"And I have seen worse. Turn around" commanded the maid. Calca did do that, and Yuri took back her words. Calca's back was scarred with as if something had dug its giant nails into her back or whipped her, maybe both. On her lower back were stretch marks, indicating that she may have been torn or something else. Worse of all there were four long, slim fresh scar marks, two under each shoulder blade. It was as if something had repeatedly torn through the skin and squirmed back in. Then, there was the sigil, a skull being skewered by a spear. None were dangerous to her life, but they all left a gruesome scars that would probably only heal with magic.

"Who did this to you?" she asked.

"My master."

"Master?"

"He was a demon who wasn't very...kind. That," she said pointing to the seal on her shoulder blade, "is his seal. If I ever disobeyed his order, he would throw me around and dig his nails into me. If I followed his orders -"

"He wouldn't beat you?"

"He would," Calca stated "Just less so. No matter what, he wanted me to scream, to cry for help, to beg for mercy. I never got any, but if I...delighted him with my performance, he would use magic to heal me."

"And no one stopped him?"

"Why would they?In his mansion, I was the only human slave, and all of the servants were lesser demons. Tell me, why would a demon like to help a human? They would rather see me suffer like they did that night."

"What night?"

Calca stopped and turned to look at Yuri. At this point, Calca had told her about her slavery because she felt she could trust her more than the skeleton or the other maid, but if she told her would she understand? No, not right now.

"I will tell you about it later."

Yuri finished up quickly, and Calca went back to sleep. At least, she was going to try to. Today, she was going to have a lot of visitors and that door was going to creak a lot of times.
