THIS IS NOT CANON! GO AWAY IF YOU ARE HERE FOR CANON!
A/N: This fanfic is just to indulge myself in another pairing you never see. It is going to be short, probably only 5 chapters or so, but it is getting my brain restarted for Overlord. I had nearly 25k words written for the next chapter of TSBOLAD when my power went out and WordPad decided to erase 15k of those words. It's been a battle to try and motivate myself after that happened to write Overlord, so I'm going to try and use this as a spark to light my writing fire. I hope you enjoy it, and remember, it is not canon, because I barely stick to that shit!
P.S. There WILL BE smut in this fanfic. I'm only going to do it in detail the first time for each, but I might add small little ones here and there if I feel like it. It won't be long though so I might not have anymore than the two I have planned.
The last few hours had been the strangest of Suzuki Satoru's entire life.
It had started out normal enough for him. He had logged into Yggdrasil for the final time and raided a few guild bases he knew had no members still logging on for a little thrill at the end of his favorite game.
He then proceeded to head back to Nazarick to see it one last time before the shutdown. While he did alter a few NPCs settings, it had been nothing out of the ordinary. It wasn't until he was seated in the Throne of Kings and closed his eyes for the shut down that everything turned incredibly strange.
Instead of seeing his apartment when he opened his eyes, he was floating above some trees. He could see a couple of farms not far from where he was, and a city not far away in the distance.
Satoru had been everywhere you could imagine in Yggdrasil, but he had never seen a city such as this one. It had a huge white marble palace in the center of it, and he could tell the buildings around it were nearly as nice.
Even as he looked over the city, he could see almost all of it was made of marble, brick, or some other type of stone. He even noticed paved roads, and that is when it occurred to him this was all very strange.
He shouldn't be able to tell the roads are paved by sight alone. Satoru had to be at least two miles away from this city, but he could easily see details as he looked over the city. It continued to get strange from there.
He had thought about flying over there, but he noticed it was nothing but humans. He also saw the occasional flying horse patrol or flying magic caster. Then he realized, he couldn't hide his black wings.
That is when it got strange again.
They had immediately folded into his back, and he started falling. Luckily, Satoru was a magic caster with the fly spell as well. Although, he never did get to cast it as his wings came out the moment he realized what was going on.
The reason that was so strange, angels couldn't fold their wings into their bodies in Yggdrasil. Satoru was positive it was something only a Seraphim Emperor or Empress could do, and there was no way for a player to become one as far as Satoru knew.
There was an incredibly long list of other things that made Satoru's first moments here strange. The AR Display was still there and could be hidden, but none of his hotbars with his spells, abilities, skills, or other powers were present. Satoru just knew all of them in his mind.
When he realized the magic protecting the city was only Tier 3, with the highest being Tier 4 around the palace, and the fact the highest level guard he saw patrolling was 18, he cast Tier 9 Perfect Unknowable and flew over the wall to check out the city.
Inside, Satoru's mind had been reeling nearly the entire time. Everything about what he saw was strange to him. Satoru couldn't read any of the signs, but he understood everyone completely fine when they spoke.
He noticed a lot of things that didn't make sense. It ranged from small things such as the way people interacted was nothing like it was in Yggdrasil, all the way to the fact that he had never seen the currency the people of this city were spending.
While the city guard and military personnel he came across looked top-notch, well trained, and strong, they were truly weak as hell as Analyze told him. He had covered a good amount of the city and the highest level soldier he came across was only level 21.
If this was part of Yggdrasil, he'd question why they created a city that could so easily be taken. If most of the people in this city were level 50 and lower, he could take it himself with no backup. It was true he hadn't seen all of it, but most of it.
He only compared it to everyone being below 50 because it was hard to believe a city could exist without someone, well someone's, being much, much more powerful than those he had come across so far.
That level 21 soldier looked to be much older with decades of experience, and he'd only seen 1 other so far who exceeded level 19, it was hard to believe a city could be so weak.
Even in the starting areas of Yggdrasil, the guards were almost always level 100. While you could take towns and cities in Yggdrasil, it was very, very difficult no matter the size of your guild because of the city watch in each city. This place would fall quickly and easily and that is what made no sense.
The very first town you start in had hundreds of level 100 guards, but for some reason, the devs decided to put in a huge city but made it easy to destroy? It simply didn't make any sense.
The longer Satoru explored, the more an incredibly crazy idea started to form in his mind. At first, Satoru believed his avatar may have been somehow transferred to the server of a different game.
This made him cancel his invisibility and explore the city normally. Since he was able to hide his wings, and he had more cosmetics than any single guild had a right to own, let alone a single person. He explored the city as a 'visiting noble' at least, that was the idea with the clothes he chose.
He had barely walked around out in the open when he noticed all the stares he was getting. It was a little unnerving. Satoru was never used to being the center of attention, but it was hard not to be as his avatar.
Satoru's avatar was everything he wished he was. He was incredibly tall, nearly seven feet. He had crimson eyes the color of blood instead of the boring dark ones Satoru had. He was stupidly good looking while Satoru was just plain.
The looks were only partially because of Satoru though. While he made himself look handsome, it was his race that was responsible for a vast majority of his incredibly good looks.
Angels were essentially just very tall, very good-looking versions of humans with wings. It was impossible to make an ugly angel avatar, even if you tried to make it ugly. The reason Satoru was droning on about his good looks was the same reason he was currently hiding in an alley.
The realization after what just happened had completely overwhelmed the Angel of Death, and he was lucky he kept enough composure to not use a spell or ability to leave. Suzuki Satoru was fairly certain he had been transferred in his avatar, but not to another game, to another world.
The observations, feelings, and interactions he had the whole time here slowly started leading him down this path. However, the interaction he just had with a woman five minutes ago is what made him believe the conclusion he came to.
Every woman he had come across had smiled at him, and they all blushed as well. It made him smile himself. The last woman though, she had a different look along with the smile and blush.
By the time Satoru realized the other 'look' was pure, unhidden lust, his world had already started spinning. It was nearly impossible to think of anything other than becoming his avatar in another world.
It wasn't the fact she smelled good that finally told him this. It wasn't the fact he could feel her soft body pressed against his when she invaded his personal space.
It wasn't even when he realized the woman was a prostitute and was offering her services for free to him. No, it wasn't any of these things at all.
It was the fact that when she ran her hand up to his crotch, there was something there. Not only was it there, but it was hard. Satoru had been so caught up in figuring out what the hell was going on, he didn't even realize until that moment his avatar had a cock.
He had somehow made his escape from the woman to think of this even though he thought of accepting. She had been cute enough, and it had been some time for Satoru. It wasn't like he never paid for it before either so having someone like that offer it for nothing wouldn't have been something out of character for Satoru.
However, what he realized at that moment overrode all other thoughts and feelings. He needed to be alone and think so he had gotten out of there. It was the way his mind was working more than anything that helped him come to this conclusion.
It was true he 'felt' like his avatar from the start. His vision, hearing, smell, and sight were off the charts, but it was the fact his brain remembered absolutely everything that had happened since coming here that was the tipping point.
Somehow, he had become Momonga and been sent to another world.
That made him think even more, especially since he could remember the only question the woman truly asked him. What was his name?
The few who had interacted with him had called him 'my lord' but Satoru somewhat expected it with the attire he chose to walk around in. Momonga would be the logical choice as that was his name in Yggdrasil, but it didn't feel right.
The reason he was enamored with thinking of a name right now was the plan forming in the back of his mind. A story of a noble-looking for a new start in a different land. The more he thought about it, the clearer the name became.
He had been hearing it for years now, nearly four to be exact. No matter what he accomplished in Yggdrasil, he heard the same thing. When he won the PvP tourneys, they called him it. When he defeated raid bosses solo, he heard it whispered.
Satoru did all this for one purpose, and one purpose only, so they would all remember who accomplished these things. The one who could overcome anything. The one they should all fear so that his beloved Nazarick would be safe.
The three words everyone spoke in hushed whispers. Hoping to say it low and not out loud would make sure he didn't just show up to sow destruction. His name has been, and always will be...
Ainz Ooal Gown.
The day they elected him Guild Leader and Nine's Own Goal had become Ainz Ooal Gown, he had been reborn. Ainz poured everything into that Guild. It was true the others helped, but Ainz had given it everything.
For the last nearly four years, it had been only him. It was his platinum, gold, and silver that kept Nazarick running. It was his reputation that kept invaders away. It was his items that continued to fill the treasury and his inventory.
It almost felt like this is who he was always meant to be.
It was then that Suzuki Satoru and Momonga had become no more, and Ainz Ooal Gown had truly been born. Ainz set off to start his plan, and it got off to a good start. With Tier 9 Perfect Unknowable, it was easy to acquire money from this nation.
Satoru might have never stolen from people for his own gain, but Ainz Ooal Gown needed to begin his life of comfort and peace somehow. He followed quite a few merchants and took a little from most that had a decent amount of wealth.
He knew this was just the start, but he had to get enough for a room at the very nice inn he found along the way. He made sure to gather enough gold for a couple of months before he called that part of his plan quits for the day.
He already planned on finding a treasury of some sort. It didn't matter to him if it was some noble house or the Emperor's, but he'd need a lot more money for the life he wanted to live. Several business ideas took root in his mind as well, and the rest of his day was very productive.
By the end of the night, as Ainz sat in his room, he had come up with a decent plan for now. He spent the next week enacting that plan. Ainz would explore the city in the daytime looking for the best part to open a shop or something similar while learning all he could of the city of Arwintar.
At night, he would use his created undead to explore the parts of the city he could not during the day, namely the palace. After he sent out the first group to spy, he used Yggdrasil gold to try and create subordinates, and it worked even better than it did in Yggdrasil.
Ainz had created twenty Hanzos by the end of the night after he created one and realized they were permanent. While the undead he created for the spying, Evolved High Wraiths, would be very hard for anyone to pick up, he knew Hanzos would be impossible based on what he had learned.
Hanzos were level ninety ninjas. Their primary purpose was assassinations, but all of their stealth skills were nearly as good as a geared player in the mid-nineties. When he learned the most powerful person in this entire Empire was a Tier 6 magic caster, he knew the Hanzos would be the best route for spying.
While it would be nearly impossible for a Tier 6 magic caster to detect Evolved High Wraiths, it could be done with a little luck. A Tier 6 magic caster detecting a Hanzo though, that was impossible. It would only happen if the Hanzo revealed itself to the said caster, so he went with them as scouts only after that first night.
It wasn't just a bonus Hanzos were permanent while his undead only lasted for just under two hours. It was also because Hanzos could hide in shadows as a place for them to stay. He didn't need to find somewhere to house all those Hanzos, because, like Ainz, Hanzos didn't need to sleep. Even though he didn't need the protection, it was good to know twenty Hanzos were in his shadow nearly all the time ready to jump out whenever he wished.
In the week Ainz took to ask around himself during the day and the Hanzos did their thing at night, Ainz learned a good amount of things about the Baharuth Empire. It made him seriously rethink staying in Arwintar as his new home.
While he learned the Baharuth Empire was much wealthier than other countries and had the nicest capital of all the human nations, what he learned of the Emperor and what was allowed to go on here made Ainz wonder if leaving would be a better idea.
He had been around long enough to hear of the Re-Estize Kingdom, the Roble Holy Kingdom, the Slane Theocracy, and the Draconic Kingdom. He thought this world was filled with nothing but humans until he asked a merchant in the market about his 'Runecrafted' household items and he was informed they came from the Dwarven Kingdom.
In all honesty, his first instinct was to head to the Draconic Kingdom. A kingdom of Dragons sounded like a place he needed to check out, but he found out it was a human nation. Only the Queen possessed dragon blood, even at that, she was only like 1/16th Dragon.
From what he learned of the Slane Theocracy and the Roble Holy Kingdom, he should probably never step foot in either of those kingdoms. He thought being an angel would be an asset in a country called the 'Holy' Kingdom, but he would be wrong there.
They were just a sister country founded by people leaving the Slane Theocracy. From what he learned of them, they hated any being that wasn't human. Even if the Roble Holy Kingdom wasn't as extreme as the Slane Theocracy, he knew a good deal of them would harbor the same ideals. It just wasn't worth it.
The Re-Estize Kingdom sounded like a decent place to relocate if need be, but they also followed the same Gods as the other countries. While they certainly weren't known for religious zealotry, they also followed a practice most others in this world did that he deplored.
Slavery.
This is why he decided he'd retreat to the Dwarven Kingdom if the need arose. He wasn't sure how they'd welcome him, but they were the only ones he knew of that didn't practice slavery and they were the only nonhuman kingdom he knew of.
His Hanzos had also found the treasury, and Ainz planned on making a visit and withdrawal the next night. After hearing how great the citizens of Arwintar had it, Ainz was a little hesitant to steal from the crown. That was until he learned the type of person Emperor Jircniv was.
Not only did the man allow slavery in his Empire, but he also had his entire family killed when he took power so no one could threaten his claim. Ainz understands needing to be ruthless at times, but he couldn't imagine a scenario where he could justify killing his entire family.
Those, however, were things for tomorrow night. Tonight was a different story. Ainz had done nothing but scout even if he explored during the day, and sit in his room getting reports at night for this last weeks. Tonight, he planned to reward himself with a treat the night before the big 'heist'.
Ainz was fairly certain it won't be terribly difficult to get a woman into his bed tonight. Enough professionals had offered their services for free for him to realize he was stupidly good-looking in this world. Not to mention 99.9% of the women he met eye fucked him immediately.
Ainz was more hoping he could find a woman tonight who could keep herself together enough to hold a few conversations before she threw herself at him. He knew the 'plumbing' worked already.
He 'tested' it, for scientific purposes of course, and had jerked off once. He was larger than he was on Earth and had almost double the volume of swimmers, but it all worked as it should on a man from what he could tell.
He was hoping to find a sexy blonde tonight, but he wasn't going to be blinded by hair color. Nearly every woman in Japan had black hair so that was why he always believed he preferred blondes. If all else failed, he planned on asking one of the receptionists from the inn he was staying at to stop up when she got off.
While she wasn't blonde, she did have pink hair. Ainz's first guess would be it was natural. He knew you could dye it and make it look like that, but the girl had pink eyes too. Her body was something as well. At least C-cup and an ass and hips wide enough to grab onto and pound into her. Yes, she'd do nicely if no one piqued his interest tonight.
Ainz had learned about a nice spot to start his night just a few days prior from another staying at the inn. It was a restaurant, a very nice one, but it also had a bar area that was equally as high class. The music was soft and it would make for a good atmosphere to talk to someone instead of shouting.
Ainz didn't have to go very far either. He was in the richest part of the merchant 'area' that directly bordered the noble and high-class area of the city. The restaurant/bar was only a half of a kilometer away if he took a shortcut through two alleys the other patron pointed out to him.
As Ainz walked through the lobby on his way out, he noticed the pink-haired girl was working once more. He smiled, not only at her but because he saw her instantly eye-fucking him the moment she saw him. He knew he'd have a good night, and hopefully morning, no matter what now.
Ainz walked out the front after the doorman opened the door for him, and took a right. He followed the directions the man gave him earlier and turned into the second alley on the right. Ainz took the third left and saw the alley would open up onto the main street.
Ainz could see the restaurant directly across from the alley and thanked the man in his mind. If Ainz would have taken the main roads, his trip would have been three times as long. He saw it looked fairly busy already and should have paid a little more attention when he exited the alley.
Ainz was so focused on trying to look at the people in the restaurant he didn't see someone walking across the alley the moment he exited. He bumped right into them, and Ainz watched them start to fall out of the corner of his eye.
He didn't even think about it, he just grabbed the person by the waist before they could topple over, and he was glad he did the moment their eyes met.
It was a blonde woman with hair down to her ass. She had light green eyes, well eye since the other was covered, and she was wearing black armor with gold detailing. It only took Ainz a moment to realize who this was.
It was then he realized he'd need to be more specific with his Hanzos. Ainz did know about her, but there was one thing they failed to mention to him. It slipped passed his lips barely more than a whisper.
"Damn, she's beautiful..."
Ainz didn't even realize he said it out loud until he saw her blush. It was then he stood back up and made sure she was on her feet steady before releasing her waist. He really wished she wasn't wearing armor, but it didn't mean he couldn't tell she was downright gorgeous.
"I'm sorry for running into you, my lady. I should have been paying more attention to where I was walking."
Ainz was staring into her one green eye, and he smiled watching her turn pinker by the second. Ainz watched her flush creep up her neck to her cheeks and was glad to realize she was not only flattered by him but certainly liked what she was seeing as well.
"It is fine, my lord. You did prevent me from falling by catching me."
"I'm not a lord, my lady. My name is Ainz Ooal Gown, but please, call me Ainz."
"Leinas Rockbruise, former lady, so please, call me Leinas, Ainz."
This was one of those good wrenches thrown into a plan, specifically, his for the night. He happened to run into the most beautiful woman he'd seen here before he even made it into that restaurant. Ainz smiled when the idea came to him.
"I was going to grab dinner across the street." Ainz motions to the restaurant across from them. "Would you care to join me, Leinas?"
Ainz watched Leinas eye him up like it was some sort of trick he was asking her. When she realized it wasn't, he watched her look down at what she was wearing before looking at the restaurant again. He had some idea what she might be thinking, but before he could say anything.
"I-"
Leinas started to answer, and then she felt it. It was sliding down the right side of her face, and she had to turn away as fast as possible. Of all the times for her curse to start seeping puss, this was the worst moment of her life for it to be happening. She quickly pulled out her handkerchief and wiped it off before finally answering.
"I-I'm sorry... I c-can't..."
Leinas went to walk away with her back to Ainz, and go home to be angry again about being cursed. She never got more than a single step away though before she heard him ask from behind her.
"Is that because you do not wish to spend the evening with me, because of how you are dressed, or because of your curse Leinas?"
Leinas turned back to Ainz and glared at him with her one good eye.
"Does the reason truly matter?!"
She said that a little harsher than she intended, but she didn't back down from glaring. Ainz continued to smile at her.
"It does. If you're not interested in me, I'll leave you to your night and you'll never hear from me again. If it happens to be because you don't think you have dressed appropriately, we can go somewhere else or I can meet you after you have time to change."
Ainz didn't let his smile falter at the beautiful blonde for a moment. Before he answered the last one though, he took a step closer to her and was glad to see she didn't budge an inch. He barely said the last one above a whisper so no one else would hear.
"If it is because of your curse, I can lift it from you if you wish."
Ainz wasn't lying about that. He knew she was cursed, but now that he was able to see her with his own eyes, he could tell that Tier 5 Break Enchantment would work to lift it from her. Her eye widen to an almost comical level when she realized what he said and now she took a step toward him. She was pressed right up against him looking up in his eyes when she said.
"You can... lift my curse?"
Ainz lifted his left hand up to her face. Leinas flinched away at first but moved toward him once more after Ainz gave her a small smile.
*BREAK ENCHANTMENT*
Leinas can feel the curse leave her immediately. She is too stunned to believe it is true though as she can still feel a little pus running down her face. She goes to wipe it away but feels a soft fabric cover her right eye.
She looks up to see a smiling Ainz Ooal Gown looking down at her with a very nice handkerchief pressed against her in his hand. He slides it across her face so gently she nearly cries as he's looking at her. When she feels it slide off her face, she feels herself being turned toward the window in the business they were next to.
She tentatively moves the hair from in front of her covered right eye, and the tears do start then. She sees in the window that her curse is gone, and Ainz had wiped the last remnants of it from her face with his handkerchief.
Leinas didn't even think when she did what she did next. Her body had taken over, and she had flung her arms around Ainz middle. She would have loved to give him a proper hug, but he was over a foot taller than her so she had to settle for hugging his middle. It felt even better when she felt his arms wrap around her, and she let the tears fall freely, not concerned at all with who may be around.
Leinas isn't sure how long she cried for, but Ainz just held her the entire time. She then realized how utterly pathetic she must look in front of this handsome man. No, handsome wouldn't even begin to describe him. Beautiful would be a more appropriate word, and Leinas still didn't think that would do him justice. She went to step away, but Ainz didn't let her out of his grasp.
"So? How about that dinner, Leinas?"
Leinas was stunned when he did speak. She must look like a wreck now. Her eyes were certainly puffy and red. She more than likely had tear streaks, and maybe even some snot running out of her nose, but he was still asking to go to dinner with her.
"I haven't... I haven't been out in so long. Could I... could I go home and get dressed for dinner and... and meet you back here in two, no, an hour?"
"If you need two or three hours, I can wait, Leinas. I'll meet you back here at whatever time you wish."
Leinas felt herself smile a real, genuine smile for the first time in so many years she couldn't remember.
"I'll meet you back here in two hours then, Ainz."
Leinas smiled again and went to step away to hurry home, but her hand was being held. She turned back around to see Ainz kiss the back of it before looking right at her and saying.
"I shall count down the minutes until I see you again, Leinas."
She blushed and practically sprinted home to get ready. Leinas may have been annoyed and hated the other women who were beautiful because she never got the same compliments anymore, but that didn't mean she hadn't been planning for the day she could be called such again.
She earned a lot of gold working for Emperor Jircniv, and she had little to spend it on. She always used it for her revenge, but the only revenge she had left was lifting the curse and showing everyone the beauty she was once more.
Because of this, she spent a good portion of her money on clothes and accessories. She hadn't worn any of them other than to try them on for the future, but now, she had the best reason to pull out all the stops.
A ridiculously beautiful man who wanted to share dinner with her after he lifted her curse from her. She knew exactly which dress she was going to put on before she had even made it in the front door of her home.
Ainz for his part chuckled as he watched her nearly break into a sprint to leave. He noticed she lived the opposite direction from the inn he was staying at and realized he could use some of that time to prepare himself.
He went inside the restaurant and made sure to make a reservation for two hours from then. It wasn't hard to get on the list in a more private area after slipping the host ten gold coins. He's sure giving someone their two-month salary as a bribe would work nearly anywhere.
After that, he went back to the inn and got ready himself. He didn't change, as he thought he was already prepared in that sense, but he made sure to get his carriage ready just in case. He did have the hindsight to go back outside the city the morning after he arrived and enter properly.
Carriages were even easier to create than Hanzos were so Ainz made one in case he needed it. He would have walked in if the inn didn't have a place for it, but they happened to and it came in handy to have such a thing.
He would prefer to walk and enjoy the fresh air and company, but he'd be more than happy to ride in that stupidly comfortable carriage if Leinas wished for that as well. It wasn't until the pink-haired receptionist, Sera, informed him his carriage was ready that he noticed she was there still.
Ainz thanked her and decided to ride to the restaurant in it. He had only been in it the first day he brought it and it had sat there the rest of the weeks. The restaurant also had a place to keep it so he wasn't concerned with it being out in the open.
Not that anyone could take it if they wanted. Perhaps Fluder could or one of the Four Imperial Knights, but that would be about it. The old man who steered it looked like just that, an old man.
However, he was actually the son of Charon, the guide across the River Styx, according to his backstory. He only had the expert class levels of guide, but he had fifty of them. In this world, he'd be the equivalent of around a level twenty-five to thirty Ranger.
The fact he was an old man and his weapon was a walking stick only made Ainz wish someone did attack him. He's sure he'd get a kick out of watching an old man beat people to death with what essentially amounted to a tall cane.
Ainz went back into the restaurant when he returned and sat at the bar. He wanted to order a drink or two and look over the menu for when Leinas did arrive. He not only found his tolerance for alcohol was stupid high, but he also found his dinner on the menu.
The great part about being in his avatar's body was how much more heightened all of his senses were. Food had never tasted as good as it did in this world. Whether that was because of his sense of taste or simply the food being better here, he didn't know. However, that didn't mean he didn't take advantage of it every chance he got.
Fifteen minutes before Leinas was supposed to arrive, Ainz headed back out in front of the restaurant. The Host knew what that meant and Ainz saw the man nod at him that his table would be ready when he returned.
Ainz was going to cross the street and wait for her right where they parted, but it never came to that. He looked left to check if it was alright to cross, and his eyes stayed glued to one thing. He could hear most of the murmurs of the men, and some of the women, near her, but even they couldn't think of words to do Leinas justice.
She walked toward him completely different from the first time he saw her. Each step she took was directly in front of her and it made her hips give a different kind of sway that wasn't there before.
Her hair was something else too. Instead of it being tied at the bottom and most of it behind her, it was completely free of bindings. It flowed freely mostly down her back still, but more of it was in front than he saw before. That wasn't the big change though.
That went to her bangs. She had purposefully had them done to hide the right side of her face, but that was no longer the case. Instead, her hair was parted down the middle and it framed her face perfectly... her entire face.
Now that she wasn't hiding one side of it, Leinas was even more stunning than Ainz believed at first. He is certain that was helped along by what she was wearing because, nine fucking hells, did she come dressed to impress.
Her dress was green silk that matched her eyes perfectly. It was scooped necked with a deep V to show off enough cleavage to make anyone drool, but not so much as to look like a whore. It hugged every inch of her, and Ainz had to discreetly adjust himself as he looked her over.
Ainz was hoping the thing stopped just below her ass, but he saw it went down to mid-calf as he looked down her body. It still didn't take away the fact she looked like a Goddess. He is certain that the slit on the left side that went above mid-thigh played a part in him thinking that. To Ainz, she was only missing the pointy ears to look like an Elven Goddess who just stepped out of a fantasy story.
Ainz also realized when he took her all in that he had underestimated how perfect her body was. He figured she'd have a good one since he could discern it pretty well in armor, but he was very wrong.
Every inch of her was perfect.
Her breasts were much larger than he thought they were, DD, maybe DDD, if he had to guess. Her waist was even slimmer than he thought, and her hips were just as wide as they looked in her armor. She seemed to glide along the ground as well even though she was wearing what looked like pretty high heels to accentuate her legs.
He wasn't the only one staring either. Every man and nearly every woman on the street was watching her walk toward him. The smile on her lips only added even more allure to her to Ainz considering she was directing it at him.
Ainz directed a small smile in her direction as well. He couldn't have stopped it if he tried. When she was finally standing in front of him, he took her hand and kissed the back of it before looking back into her emerald eyes.
"You look absolutely divine, my lady."
"Thank you, Lord Ainz."
Ainz could tell from the mirth in her eyes that she only called him that because he called her a lady. She had pointed out plainly before that she used to be a lady but was no longer when he said he was no lord.
Ainz wanted to get in the restaurant quickly and get to know Leinas a little better, but he thought something else was more appropriate right now. There was no sense in waiting, as he planned, when it went perfect with what she was wearing.
"As much as I wish to go sit down with you Leinas. I brought you a gift. I had planned to give it to you inside, but I feel it goes too well with what you have on to be left for later."
"You didn't have to get me anything, Ainz."
"Nonsense." Ainz waves his hand in dismissal. "The moment I saw you, I wished to gift it to you. It reminds me of you."
Leinas didn't know what Ainz meant by that, but he didn't let her think about it for too long. He reached into his robe and pulled out a square box from the inside pocket. (His inventory really!)
When he lifted the top open, he heard everyone gasp, but Leinas's was the one he enjoyed. He took the item out of the box and held it up for Leinas, and everyone else, to see.
It was a necklace. The chain was made of platinum and in between each link was a small diamond. At the bottom of the platinum chain hung another short, three-inch chain.
It had the diamonds between each link, but in the middle of the short-chain was an emerald half the size of a gold coin. Sitting at the bottom of the short-chain was a yellow diamond that was the size of a gold coin.
Everyone was speechless at the sight of this piece of jewelry, and Ainz understood why. He had scoped out plenty of businesses in this city and had a good idea of the price of nearly every good in this city.
If his estimation skills were as good as he thought, this necklace would be worth around fifty thousand gold in the Baharuth Empire. That was an absolutely unheard of amount of money for anything, let alone a necklace. Ainz could purchase, at least, half of the noble estates in this capital city for this necklace alone.
"May I, Lady Leinas?"
Ainz unclasped the necklace and asked Leinas if she minded he put it on her. She was still in a stupor but was functioning enough to nod her head. When Ainz moved around the back of her, she moved her hair out of the way and Ainz breath caught in his throat.
"Nine fucking hells..."
Ainz couldn't stop those words from coming out. He didn't say them too loud, but Leinas certainly heard him. Leinas gave a small smile that Ainz couldn't see at his reaction to the back of her.
Leinas's dress was completely open in the back. When she moved her hair out of the way, Ainz was greeted with silky smooth, porcelain skin all the way down her back to the small of her back. It stopped just above her ass, and Ainz wished he had a free hand because he was afraid he'd pitch a tent in front of all these people if he couldn't adjust himself.
Luckily for Ainz, he managed to control himself enough not to embarrass himself. He made sure to brush his fingers softly on her neck and a little down her back as he finished putting the necklace on her.
He was certainly right as well. It was perfect on Leinas. He had thought of it immediately when he saw her as it matched her hair and eyes, but it looked spectacular with the dress she was currently wearing.
It had many added benefits none present would know about. While they all thought it was the nicest piece of jewelry they'd ever seen, it was, in actuality, a magic item. It happened to be a level 60 necklace that made the wearer immune to poison, disease, fatigue, level drain, and a whole host of other things.
Ainz knew the price of this item would at least double, if not more, if everyone knew all the enchantments it had on it. That didn't make a difference to him though. He had tens of thousands of items more valuable than this necklace.
However, he couldn't help but think this was supposed to be around Leinas's neck. It certainly looked perfect around her slim neck, dangling between her cleavage. He extended his elbow for Leinas to take.
"Shall we, my lady?"
"Nothing could please me more, my lord."
"Don't be so sure of that, Leinas..."
Ainz didn't say that loud enough for anyone to hear except Leinas, and he still only stared ahead of him. However, it had the intended effect as she looked up at him. He could tell she was a little surprised at his forwardness, but also very turned on by it.
Ainz had a feeling this was going to be a night he'd remember for quite a while.
So there is Chapter 1... This one is going to be an Ainz shows up without Nazarick, but unlike another one like this I'm writing, where he appears in Carne Village without Nazarick, Nazarick will not show up at all in this fanfic... It will appear in the other one, but not in this one. This one will be Ainz/Leinas, but there will be others. I'm making this one very short (especially compared to my other fanfics) probably about 5 chapters, give or take 1 or 2. The only pairing in this one will be Ainz and Leinas plus one more. I'm sure you've got an ide who the other person will be already. However, that will change. I plan to make this short as I said, but it is so I can write shorter sequels that take place in other parts of the New World. The reason this is titled: The Cursed Knight & Angel of Death: Empire is because the others will have the same title but instead of Empire, it will be Re-Estize, Draconic, Roble, etc. That way instead of making one long fanfic, I can take my time and write smaller ones that all interlink. It will be easier to update, and I won't have to worry everyone with updates taking months on end. I hope you enjoyed this chapter and like what is coming up next aka smut lol! Until NeXXXt Time!
