The Princess of Nazarick

Location : Outside the Frozen Prison

Albedo was waiting outside of the frozen prison for her master return. Its been hours since she left her master and came outside. She felt uneasy about leaving her loved one alone with someone that dangerous in a cell , even if she was restrained by several spells and enchanted chains.

But finally , she saw that Ainz left the prison and came outside. His walking style and attire suggested that he was no longer angry or upset.

Albedo breathed as a sign of relief and was glad that her beloved master was fine. She went forward to greet him.

" Ainz sama! it seems you are fine , I was really worried about your safety. What happened?"

Ainz calmly looked at Albedo and with a relaxed tone answered :

" Don t worry , Everything is fine now , I was worried about something , but fortunately my concerns are now gone."

" Is that so?! Still , what happened in there? Did you learn something from that prisoner? If she has disrespected you in any way , just give the word and I will ,,,,,,,,,,,,,"

"NO , ALBEDO! There was no such thing! You don t need to be concerned about that sort of thing anymore,,,,,,, I have something else to ask you to do."

" You have to but give an order , and I will see to it that your will is done!"

" is that so,,,,,, I am pleased by your loyalty. Now ,,,, with the exception of Gargantuan , summon all of the Guardians to present themselves in the throne room two hours from now. I have a very important matter to discuss with them."

" Yes my lord , as you command."

Ainz then vanished through teleportation. Albedo was curious about what was going on , but in the end she decided to inform the Guardians of Ainz order and contacted them.

Two hours later / The Throne room

At the appointed time , all of Nazarick Guardians were gathered outside of the Throne room. Even victim and Pandora actor were present as well. They were all curious about the reason of their summoning.

The first one to speak was Demiurge :

" Albedo , I had to drop a lot of important tasks that were given to me by Ainz sama and come back here , do you know why we have been summoned?"

Cocytus was no different :

" I . Had . A . Lot . Of . Things . To . Do . As . Well . But . I . Had . To . Came . Here . In . Response . To . Ainz . Sama . Orders!"

Albedo shook her head and said :

" I am afraid I do not know why Ainz sama has summoned us , All I know is that he said , There is a very important matter that I need to discuss with the Guardians , that is all I know."

Shalltear :

" Well , since this is Ainz sama , he must have some big plans for the future that he wants to share with us , otherwise there was no need to call of all the Guardians."

Mare nodded in agreement and said :

" Of , Of course! Ainz sama always has great and cunning plans. I , I think he must have called us here to give us orders to carry them out!"

Aura looked at her fellow guardians and said :

" Whatever it is , We will know once we hear it from Ainz sama , I think we should not keep Ainz sama waiting. Lets go and hear it directly from him."

Demiurge smiled at Aura carefree attitude , but he agreed on that point as well.

" Yes , I think you are right , now Albedo would you mind to inform Ainz sama that we are all gathered here?"

" Of course , just give me a moment."

Albedo entered the throne room ahead of them , after a few moments she returned with her usual smile.

" Ainz sama has granted us permission, lets go every one!"

All of the Guardians nodded and followed Albedo into the Throne room.

Once they entered , they saw that the supreme one was sitting on his throne and was waiting for them.

They reached the stairs before the throne and kneeled before their master.

" Ainz sama , Pre your orders , All of the Guardians have arrived before you to present themselves." Albedo said on behalf of everyone present.

She normally would climb the stairs and stand beside Ainz , but before she could Ainz ordered her to stop where she was , alongside the rest of the Guardians.

She was surprised and a little concerned about her master behavior. After all she , as the Overseer , would always stand beside her master to receive his orders. To be told to stand down from that position was very odd.

It was not just her who felt the oddity of the situation , but all of the Guardians who were present.

Ainz looked at the Guardians and their confused looks and said:

" I am grateful that you have all arrived here. I am sure you must be wondering why I have summoned you all to Nazarick. I have a very important announcement to make to you and to all of Nazarick. It concerns the matter that we have faced recently"

Demiurge :

" Ainz sama , are you talking about the player that we managed to capture a few days ago?"

Ainz nodded to Demiurge and said:

" Indeed , after I visited her myself , I discovered that the situation is much more complicated than what I imagined."

Albedo looked at Ainz and said :

" How so Ain sama? Did you learn something that have disturbed you?"

Ainz looked at the Guardians before him and then waved his right hand in the air.

Suddenly , another figure appeared right next to him.

" Hello everyone , Did you miss me?!"

She said with a mocking tone.

All of the Guardians were shocked.

The person who was standing right next to Ainz was the same person that they had fight with a few days ago and imprisoned on the fifth floor.

But she was not in chains and restraints , Neither was she unarmed. She was fully armed with the equipment that they saw her with a few days ago , except that instead of Scythe , she was wearing a long sword around her waist.

All of the Guardians immediately went into the combat mode.

Shalltear and Albedo used their skill and fully armed themselves in an instant.

Demiurge readied his razor sharp claws while Aura and Cocytus were holding their Whip and Sword in their hand. Even Mare aimed his staff forward. Victim and Pandora actor readied themselves for combat as well.

" Stay away from Ainz sama right now!"

" You dare put a hand on him and I will rip you to pieces!"

" We . Have . Beaten . You . Once . We . Can . Do . It . Again!"

But the Dark green armored person only looked at them with a smile on her face.

They were ready to attack her when suddenly,,,,,

" STAND DOWN , ALL OF YOU!"

Ainz shouted very loudly.

Albedo :

" Ainz sama! she is very dangerous! How can we let ,,,,,,,,,,,"

Ainz :

" I said , STAND DOWN!, she is not an enemy of Nazarick. She is one of us, even though you do not know."

Guardians were still on guard and nervous , but they obeyed their master order and stood down.

Demiurge looked at her and asked :

" Ainz sama , you know her from before?"

Ainz looked them and tried to calm his voice and senses.

" Of course I know her . Everyone , This is Malak Al Moot , also known as The Conqueror of Worlds."

" I do not recall any one by that name among the 41 supreme beings or their creations . so how is it that you say she is one of us?!"

This time Malak spoke:

" I was not a member of Ainz Ooal Gown Guild , Not officially. Because I chose to lead my own group , But I have worked with Ainz Ooal Gown for many years , you could say I have shared many adventures with the members of Ainz Ooal Gown!"

" And why would the supreme one ally himself with you?!"

Ainz rose from his seat and walked forward for a few steps. After several seconds of silence , he looked at the Guardians and said :

" The answer is simple , That is because she is my Daughter!"

There was nothing but Silence in the Throne room for several moments , until suddenly everyone went ' Whaaaaaaaaat!'

Aura :

" Wait a second!"

Shalltear :

" What are you talking about?! How could you have a ,,,,,,,,what!"

Albedo :

" How is it that I do not know anything about this!?"

Cocytus :

" Does . That . Mean . That . I . Raised . My . Sword . Against,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, NNOOOOOO!"

Demiurge :

" Oh ,,,,,, no,,,,,,"

The Guardians were all shocked. Albedo and Shalltear were even more concerned than the others around them( I do not need to say why!)

Albedo looked at Malak and said :

" Ainz sama , How is it that you had a child , and yet you never said anything about her to us?"

Ainz looked at albedo and said :

" I could not tell you , not with everything that had happened since we came here , I was not even sure that she was in this world with me and I could not risk telling you about her , because if you knew you might have chosen to go all around the world searching for her , which would have caused Nazarick defenses and strength to weaken , Especially considering that the ones who brainwashed Shalltear are still out there."

Demiurge :

" But Ainz sama , if we knew about this we would not have ,,,,,,,,"

Demiurge could not finish his words. He felt too ashamed to even think about all the things that he had done to his master Daughter.

It was not just him , all of the floor Guardians who fought against Malak were all ashamed to look at her and their master.

Malak looked at Demiurge and other Guardians and said with a cold and emotionless tone :

" You would not have ,,,,, What? Beat me to death?! , Then imprison and torture me in the darkest parts of my own home?!"

All of the Guardians had the same wish at that moment.

They all hoped that the ground would open its mouth and swallow them whole , so they would not have to look at the supreme one and his daughter with all their shame.

Now they all understood the pain that Shalltear felt when she was told that she had fought against their master.

But it was worse than that. At least Shalltear was not acting out of her own will and was brainwashed with a world class item. But they have acted out of their own free will and almost killed their master heir and daughter.

All of the Guardians went unto their knees and bowed their head to the ground their Ainz and Malak.

" Please Ainz sama , Malak sama , Punish us for our sins!"

" I . Can . Never . Forgive . Myself . For . Raising . My . Hand . Against . The . Supreme . One . Heir . I . Beg . Of . You . To . Punish . Me !"

" Please allow me to atone for my crimes with Death!"

" There can be no punishment but Death for such an monstrous sin!"

All of them (who fought against Malak ) were prostrating and begging to be killed for their actions. All of them believed that such terrible sin could only be punished by death.

Ainz and Malak looked at each other.

After a moment that felt like an eternity to everyone present , Malak begun to walk toward the Guardians.

She bore a cold smile on her face as she stood in front of them.

" HOW DARE YOU TO COMMITE SUCH TERRIBLES CRIMES AND THEN EXPECT ME TO FORGIVE YOU JUST LIKE THAT! DO YOU THINK YOUR DEATHS CAN HEAL EVEN THE SLIGHTEST OF THE WOUNDS THAT YOU HAVE CARVED INTO MY HEART AND INTO THE HEART OF MY FATHER?! YOU ARE TRULY SHAMLESS IF YOU THINK LIKE THAT!"

Malak rage was as radiant as the sun and the Fear aura that she was giving was clearly felt by all of the Guardians.

All of the Guardians shivered in fear. Their fear was not of death. They were all ready to give their lives for the supreme ones whenever and for whatever reasons they desired. Their fear was that they were deemed as failures and unworthy servants. There was no shame greater for a servant of the supreme ones to be regarded as such.

Malak used his commanding voice and skill and said :

" ON YOU FEET! NOW!"

They did not dared to raise their heads as the heard that Malak was walking closer to them until they heard her command.

They all stood up , but their head was still lowered.

Malak once again commanded them.

" IF YOU WANT TO PUNSIHED , AT LEAST HAVE THE DIGNITY TO LOOK ME IN THE EYES AS I PUNISH YOU!"

The Guardians fearfully raised their heads and looked at Malak.

Her Green and fierce eyes were literally glowing with a green light. They could see from her serious and fierce looking face that she was going to punish them with something that was far more severe than Death.

Malak looked at them and said:

" Do you really want me to punish you?!"

" Yes Malak sama!"

" Fine then , all of you , come here and stand right before me and stand still."

All of the Guardians stood before Malak.

Suddenly , she sprouted two large white wings from her back and surrounded them with her wings.

They were all shocked for a moment , but then they saw something that was even more shocking.

The Supreme one Daughter opened her arms as well and began to hug them all.

" Malak sama,,,,,,,,,,"

Malak embraced all of them within her wings. While she was hugging them , with a soft and gentle and kind voice , she said:

" I am not mad at any of you. I forgave you all the moment that I realized that I was in Nazraick and that you were only doing what you had to in order to protect my home and my Father."

There was voices of crying from every one , even demiurge was shedding tears of joy.

"Malak sama,,,,,,,!"

" Such kindness!,,,,,,, We are unworthy of it!"

" Truly . You . Are . Ainz . Sama . Child . You . Have . The . Same . Compassionate . Heart."

" But even if you forgive us ,,,,,,,, We can never forgive ourselves!"

" Please give us a punishment!"

After Malak was done , she opened her wings and stood before the Guardians again. She looked at the and with a strong , but gentle and kind voice , said :

" You can not undo the past. Death is not a punishment that can absolve you of your sins. It is an escape . Only cowards who wants to run away from their guilt would chose Death. If you want to wash away your guilt , then do so with your life. Help me and my father to secure Nazarick and build it a glorious future , on the foundation of its great past. My father may be the ruler of Nazarick , but you are the pillars that help him to protect it."

" Malak sama,,,,,,,,,,,"

" We swear , that we will not let your faith in us down . we shall serve you with loyalty and for eternity!"

" You . Have . Our . Hearts . And . Our . Power . At . Your . Service. I . Swear . That . Your . Faith . In . Us . Will . Not . Be . Wasted!"

Malak nodded in satisfaction as she returned to her father side. She looked at the Guardians and said :

" Ever since this guild was formed and the 41 came together , You have served Ainz Ooal Gown with great loyalty. I ask you to once again pledge your loyalty to Ainz Ooal Gown."

Everyone :

"YES!"

Malak :

" Guardians of the Great Tomb of Nazarick , I ask you to stand once again with me and my father. Will you pledge your life and loyalty to Ainz Ooal Gown and Nazarick , Now and Always?!"

The Guardians shouted together :

" NOW AND ALWAYS!"

Author Note :

I hope you have enjoyed this Chapter . There are more chapters of this story left. This story will come to its end eventually. But that does not meant that Malak al Moot story is over. I shall use the experience I gained through writing this story and create better stories for Malak Al Moot. Who knows , maybe there will be a crossover with GOT. And then Westeros will see what a true Conqueror looks like!
