Chapter 12

The castle of Hogwarts was surely an interesting and fantastical place, filled with history and much to learn. A large place, to be sure, and one that it would take more than one night to explore fully. The many secrets of the castle were something Ainz truly wanted to know. Also, how could those ghosts still be alive there, floating around as if it was just another normal day? Ainz wondered if it was a spell that grounded their spirits in the school. An item capable of bringing souls from the other world. Many theories were crossing Ainz's mind.

How does magic interact with the world, and much could it change? Ainz saw that while it seemed less powerful than the one in Yggdrasil, so far, at least. It was magic that kept on evolving and changing depending on its nature. Way different from Yggdrasil. His knowledge of magic was still fairly low, and he truly wanted to learn everything he could about it. So, spending time at Hogwarts as a student may bring positive things to him. Besides getting some distraction from the madness that was being in charge of Nazarick and all its inhabitants.

And such distraction was currently taking place. Ainz's private room had everything that would allow him to be himself and freely contact anyone of his subordinates. Not that Ainz and company didn't make sure to protect that room with all kinds of spells and abilities to give them full privacy and protection, of course. However, Ainz was enjoying the large bathroom, not as big or royal-like as the one in Nazarick. But it served its purpose.

A purpose filled with joy and pleasure that was the reason for some moaning filling the bathroom, one that made Ainz incredibly joyful there. As the warm water fell upon Ainz, it wasn't only him there to sense that. The glorious naked body of Lupusregina was wrapping around her beloved master. That delicious brown-skinned beauty, the brown chocolate skin of Lupusregina, and the reflection hot water gave were lustful. Her long red hair was free and wet, and her athletic body furthered Ainz's lust.

Lupusregina's arms were around Ainz's neck as both tongues danced together. Her breasts pressed against Ainz's chest as she kissed passionately, moaning between each kiss. Ainz's hand, freely and without resistance, travel around Lupusregina's body. He caressed her back, stroking over her muscles until they reached the smooth and supple butt cheeks. There, his fingers explored every curve, finding their way around the surprisingly large but firm rear. He squeezed Lupusregina's ass, spanked her, and pinched. All everyone with such an opportunity would ever do. To make sure his handprint rested on that sexy and desirable bottom.

Lupusregina's giggled as she stared at her master's gorgeous green eyes. Ainz, while looking quite feminine, was rather tall. At least, almost the same height as Lupusregina, making it easier for him to look at her as he pressed her body unto him.

"You're beautiful, my dear Lupusregina," Ainz stated while his hand grabbed Lupusregina's ass tightly.

"I'm pleased that you find me beautiful, lord Ainz," Lupusregina replied, smirking as she moaned while feeling Ainz's cock between her muscled thighs.

"And it's all mine," Ainz growled, kissing Lupusregina's neck and going down to where her beautiful big breasts were. Nipples fully erected, expecting him to suck on it. He did as instructed, squeezing them hard, perky breasts that were so inviting to Ainz. Lupusregina shivered and let a loud moan as Ainz sucked her nipples hard. He moved his hips, loving the feeling of Lupusregina's crotch and meaty thighs surrounding his already hard cock. It was a heavenly sensation of lust and pleasure.

Lupusregina's moisture was covering his cock, every time he thrust forward. Her thighs, and cunt, made the perfect sensation for Ainz, who couldn't wait to insert his already desperate cock inside Lupusregina.

"Turn around," Ainz ordered, and Lupusregina obeyed without question. Her breast pressed on the cold wall made her shiver in excitement as she presented her ass to her master: the fog and the still running water made for the perfect occasion to have sex.

"That ass looks so good... so round and perfect, firm and yet soft," Ainz said, admiring her rear. It was rounded and silky, yet with muscle—the perfect butt he intended to enjoy even more in the next few moments.

With a soft slap, Ainz directed Lupusregina's butt toward him. "Spread your legs wider."

Lupusregina did so without hesitation, revealing herself in all her glory before her master.

"You're so wet, my dear, Lupusregina," Ainz chuckled, watching practically Lupusreginas' sex wetting itself to the point of looking salivating. "I see how much you want me inside you."

Ainz slapped Lupusregina's ass again. "Am I correct?" He asked.

"Yes!" Lupusregina screamed lustfully. "Please, master! Please! Take me!"

Ainz realized he was about to take yet another servant's virginity and felt he deserved it. A sick satisfaction of claiming a woman's maidenhood was lurking inside Ainz. Never had he thought such a thing possible. But there he was, moving the tip of his cock directly to Lupusregina's gushing cunt. And he would never trade it for anything.

"Ahh..." Lupusregina moaned, slowly feeling Ainz's cock entering her. She put her arms on the wall, trying to grab something to keep her in place. But her fat tits seemed enough to ensure she didn't slip.

"Ugh..." Ainz sighed with pleasure, loving the sensation of his cock tearing Lupusregina's hymen slowly. It didn't hurt her. No truly. Lupusregina felt no discomfort at all. It was mostly a sensation of being overpowered—something so intimate of her, taken by someone else. The sense of submissiveness and weakness, knowing that her master and lord have taken her womanhood, made her feel exposed.

She was now more than just Pleiades. Lupusregina was now, first and foremost, made into a woman by her lord. The only man she would ever love. The only being that would touch her body, feel her devotion and make her kneel and beg for more. Lupusregina was complete now, as she could feel Ainz's thick cock penetrating her insides slowly as he held her hips in position while pounding her from behind, burying his cock deep inside Lupusregina's thigh pussy. Claiming her now as his woman and whore. Her servant and lover. Lupusregina's inner walls tightened around Ainz's cock, not wanting him to leave her love tunnel. Ainz only grunted in pleasure as he moved his hips slowly, forward and backward, rejoicing in the feeling of slowly fucking Lupusregina. Each time he increased the speed and force, he slammed his cock inside her.

"Ohhh..." Lupusregina gasped each time Ainz slammed her pussy. Lupusregina's face was against the wall while Ainz slapped her big ass.

"So hot..." Ainz grunted. "My beautiful maid, my little Lupusregina, is so hot and tight."

Ainz knew he was about to get inside her deepest parts, and he didn't intend to stop until his dick found its way into Lupusregina's womb. "How's it feel, Lupu?" Ainz asked, using the nickname Lupusregina chose while at Hogwarts. After all, they were going to act as siblings. Something that truly made his cock harder.

"Amazing...!" Lupusregina breathed as her fat tits pressed into the wall. She was able to turn her head to see Ainz's beautiful face. "Master...! You're inside me...! It feels incredible!"

Ainz smirked slightly. "And you feel incredible too, my dear."

Lupusregina's tongue was out, and her face was red; her legs were trembling, and she just moaned loudly. She didn't care if all of Hogwarts could hear cries of pleasure. Not at all.

"Lord Ainz' cock is inside me...!" Lupusregina whispered huskily as if she was talking to herself like her inner thoughts were out in the open for Ainz to hear. "So big! More!"

Those cute moans were making Ainz feel better. He loved hearing Lupusregina's cries as he pounded her deeply. It made him think in control.

Ainz wanted to make clear how much she pleased him. How much he cherished her. "It's so sexy how you moan and squirm when I'm inside you. My little maid slut."

Ainz groaned, feeling how those words made Lupusregina's pussy tighter than before. The love channel of Plaides's maid surrounds his thick shlong. His hips slammed onto Lupusregina's ass, creating a beautiful sound of meat hitting meat. A sloppy sound that, thanks to the water falling from the shower, made it sound louder and wetter than normal.

"Yes...! Master! Keep fucking me! Like that! Yes! Yes...!"

Lupusregina's arm lost all strenght, and she limped forward, but thankfully, Ainz's arms got her ass up high. Lupusregina managed to put her hand on her knees, stopping the fall. Still, now her position was even dirtier than before. Ainz's nails dig deeper into Lupusregina's fat ass, causing her ass to look bigger than before.

"Oh, yes! Oh, please, master! Please, fuck me harder! Faster...!"

In contrast to Lupusregina's request, Ainz thrust his hips faster and faster. His cock inside her reached deeper, thanks to Lupusregina's new position. He could see her ass moving forward and down, trying to catch each thrust and hold it in place. How she moved her hips in response to his every move brought more delight to Ainz's heart. And the way that he felt her ass moving as she rode his shaft was beyond any description he thought possible.

There was no doubt that Lupusregina was enjoying her bath thoroughly.

Ainz's hand reached out for that smooth backside and cupped it. "You're a good girl, aren't you?" He couldn't believe how wonderful the sight before him was.

Lupusregina's naked back, that exotic chocolate skin, and the wet red hair. Ainz's balls were overwhelmed by cum, ready to be shot into the Plaiade's womb. With her back facing him, Ainz could see her butt clenching and relaxing, and he imagined it gripping his cock. He would try that hole later.

"Oh!" Lupusregina let out a cry of excitement as Ainz grabbed both of her cheeks tightly.

"Ugh, here I come, my dear slut," Ainz's assault began, and he grabbed Lupusregina's hip to keep her in place and started to fuck the poor red-haired Plaides as if she was nothing but a cheap sex doll. The sound of his fucking was loud, and so were the moans of Lupusregina, who found no more strenght in her to keep herself on her feet. No, Lupusregina's mind only thought about Ainz's fat and delicious cock, pounding and carving his thickness inside her.

"Mmm...! That's it; take it! Take it!" Ainz's push Lupusregina down. Her face was kissing the floor, but she had her tongue out. Her eyes were just lost in the ecstasy of Ainz's cock, and her entire being was experiencing the pleasure of being a woman. It was her fat ass that was left standing, and it was only because Ainz was holding it.

"Ah...!" Then, Ainz felt his seed traveling through his testicles, slowly approaching the tip of his cock. A sensation all male knows well, and it seems that Lupusregina's body could sense it. Her womb opened to him, and her insides started to squeeze his girth. Sucking his cock, taking the holy job of cramming his glorious cum deep into her womanhood. That perfect sperm inside her unprotected womb of her. Lupusregina's consciousness, her female instinct was to make sure to let her man fulfill his job and claim her. To make her baby-making room for him and future children.

"Take it!" Ainz moaned loudly, moving his hips frantically as he spilled his fertile seed inside poor and well-fucked Lupusregina.

"Master...!Yesssssss!" Lupusregina's toes curdle in, and her entire body shook at the sensation of Ainz's cum filling her. Ainz moaned cutely and hugged Lupusregina. The red-haired werewolf could feel the pulsations coming from Ainz's cock. Each throb came with ropes of powerful cum, splashing her womb, painting it. Ainz moaned, loving that it was truly a wonderful sensation to go inside a woman as beautiful as Lupusregina, especially knowing that only his cock would ever make her orgasm like this. That only his rod would fuck her silly. And that only his sperm were allowed to swim inside her, and her eggs were only his to fertilize.

And while he could smell it. Or rather sense Lupusregina's lust and fertility. Ainz could impregnate her at will. And he knows that Lupusregina would love nothing more than carrying his child. But it would be quite troublesome right now.

So, going against his basic instincts, Ainz decided to keep his little swimmers away from Lupusregina's eggs, for now at least. A rather peculiar ability that Ainz hadn't truly comprehended, but it was what it was.

"Ah, that was good," Ainz sighed in relief after moving his hips a few more times, allowing Lupusregina's tight cunt to truly take all his cum. With a loud pop, he pulled his cock out of Lupusregina's well-fucked pussy. Immediately, his seed started to drip over.

"Uhh, master," Lupusregina moaned, finally returning to herself. Slowly standing on her knees. Ainz could see the devotion in her eyes. Her breathing was slow, those large breasts moved everything she breathed, and the cum coming out of her pussy, made him feel powerful.

"Clean my cock, Lupusregina," Ainz ordered, and she obeyed slowly and gently. She kissed the tip of his cock, before taking it deep into her mouth. Ainz put a hand on her head, slowly moving his hips at the sensation of her tongue and mouth caressing and sucking his cock. Kissing his shaft and ensuring no trace of cum or her love juice was left over it.

"Good girl," Ainz moaned, playing with Lupusregina's cute wolf ears. Lupusregina reacted cutely by whining softly.

"I love your dog ears," Ainz chuckled. "They are cute."

"Thank you... my lord," Lupusregina replied, blushing deeply.

"Now, what if we actually shower before going out?"

"Yes!" Lupusregina smiled brightly. "Can I rub your back?"

"Of course."

Ainz smiled as both of them cleaned themselves before leaving the bathroom.

Ainz looked at himself in the mirror and smiled. "Mm, cute." He stated that the reflection showed an elegant, attractive and precious individual. It was quite funny that he could look so innocent while, at the same time, behind closed doors, he was quite deviant and possessive, with a large harem of gorgeous women to please him whenever he wanted.

"Looks can be deceiving," Ainz muttered to no one.

"My dearest lord!"

Ainz turned around and saw Shalltear approaching him with a big smile.

"Shalltear," Ainz nodded. "Did Narberal and you find anything interesting in the Forbidden Forest?" He asked, stopping Shalltear before she jumped at him, wanting nothing more but to taste his delicious lips.

Shalltear whined softly but quickly shifty her expression to one of arrogance. "We discover some centaurs and spiders. There were other beings that we didn't recognize as well."

"Oh?" Ainz exclaimed, now interested to hear more. "What can you tell me about those creatures?"

Shalltear seemed troubled at the very least since she truly didn't know how to explain those creatures. "They... well, I don't know...! I'm sorry!"

Ainz waved the True Vampire's concerns. "Don't worry about it, Shalltear. It's not truly a problem, nor should you blame yourself for it." Ainz declared wisely, kind of. He didn't want to deal with Shalltear moping all day long.

"I want you to tell Aura about all the creatures you found and where. She'll deal with them and discover more."

Shalltear nodded, although she whined softly, knowing she would have to spend an afternoon with Aura. But she would swallow her pride to make her beloved master happy.

"Understood!"

Ainz nodded as he walked to the living room of his private chambers, where Lupusregina and Narberal were having a sort of conversation. A very lewd conversation.

"He's really big! Like truly... like this big!" Lupusregina exclaimed while using her hands to show what she was talking about. Narberal only blushed and coughed awkwardly, noticing Ainz approaching.

"Like, I can really still feel them swimming inside me!"

Ainz rolled his eyes as Narberal quickly karate chop her sister's head.

"Quiet. It's not the time."

"Uwah! Why are you so mean?!"

"Enough," Ainz said as the three girls stared at him obediently. "Now, our job here is to understand and learn more about the magic of this world. As well as to bring Nazarick's name to new heights. We are the new royal family of this world, technically and because of that. We must behave as such."

They all nodded quickly. But, Shalltear then tilted her head a bit confused and slowly raised her hand. "Uh, my lord, If I may ask..."

"Go on, Shalltear."

"I heard about... uh, family magic? Demiurge told us that there are families with unique abilities or special blood. What should we do if we found such individuals?"

Ainz hummed deeply, wondering what to do about such a thing. Truly, he felt it was necessary to expand his sphere of influence. The students in this school would be the new lord of the future. So, if they were loyal to him, he could use their abilities and uniqueness to his advantage. Ainz wanted to experiment with those whose magic was unique as well, to see if he could maybe recreate what they could on his own terms. Demiurge has told him the same thing, so perhaps they could do something together. But before that, they needed people with special types of magic.

This Magical World is obsessed with blood and heritage for some weird reason. Ainz thought deeply. Mmhm, I guess is only a matter of searching for ancient families and seeing what type of heritage they have and what uniqueness their magic has. I don't lose anything... besides, I like collecting things.

"Keep an eye on them for now. We should sway them to my side if we find a unique individual, especially if they are from important Noble families. We must find those who are unique enough for Nazarick. They would become meaningful resources in the future."

"Lord, I think you could also use your natural charms!" Lupusregina added quickly. "No one could resist you!"

Ainz thought about it. The idea wasn't wrong; he already had the natural allure of a sex demon. He could very well use it to get more people to his side.

"That's a great idea, Lupusregina. I'll keep an eye open for such opportunities."

Shalltear, Narberal, and Lupusregina nodded, although those words seemed to make them entirely believe another thing. In fact, Ainz wasn't thinking about using his allure to charm some witches. He just wanted to get some allies and future experiment prospects for Nazarick. But it seemed that he would soon discover that the Wizarding World held his blood as unique and powerful. Allowing Witches to take any opportunity to charm him instead.

A fun year was ahead of Ainz. A truly joyful year.

Ainz and company arrived at the Great Hall, were all awake at such an early hour, soon made sure to welcome him and his sisters.

"Ah, my prince, good morning!"

"Have a blessed day, my prince!"

And so on, Ainz hummed, and like an idol, he waved and smiled. Before turning around and meeting his so-called siblings.

"Now, as we planned. I need you to infiltrate the other houses. And you can't do that if you spend all day with me. Go and sit at your tables and learn more."

Ainz whispered before they nodded and left to their respective house table. He then sat on the Ravenclaw and elegantly put his lovely bottom on the table.

"Hello," a soft and dreamy voice made Ainz look next to him, where a girl with dirty-blond hair and very pale silvery eyes was. Yet, she looked rather not necessarily there. She looked serene in how she dressed with a rather unique set of glasses and her own Hogwart uniform style. She seemed quirky.

"Oh, sorry, I didn't see you," Ainz said, watching the cute young girl sitting next to him.

"Don't worry; no one cares to see me. Most of the house ignore me until they wish to grab my things and hide them away. Nargles can be annoying too, be careful."

Ainz just sat there, looking quite confused. "Na-Nargles? What are Nargles?"

"Oh, they are dreadful! They get into things and steal them. Or make your feet feel funny."

Ainz looked at his feet, wondering if they were there.

"Don't worry. They won't bother you. They seem to fly away like Wrackspurt. They are over you, but they are different... like... bigger than usual. I have never seen them like that before. You also smell funny."

Now, Ainz looked up and saw nothing. "Uh, funny?"

"Yeah, I noticed it when you walked in, your sister. The one with long red hair. She smelled like you when she passed next to me. Or... you smell like her?"

Ainz was utterly confused now. "Uh... alright?"

"Luna Lovegood. And you're Ainz Nazarick."

Ainz nodded slowly, still unsure of the girl next to him. "Y-yeah."

"You're so pretty. Your eyes are so gorgeous. You're the prettiest boy I have seen."

"Thank you...?"

"You're welcome. Goodbye."

Ainz then saw how Luna stood up from the bench and jumped away like a bunny. He also noticed she was barefoot and seemed not to be bothered by it at all. He has met strange people in his life. Ainz Ooal Gown was, after all, a place filled with weird people. But it was the first time in a long time he was confused.

"What was that?" Ainz muttered. "Do I smell like Lupusregina...?" He sniffed himself, wondering if that was true.

However, the morning still continued. Soon, Ainz was surrounded by many other Ravenclaw students, all wishing to speak with him and ask questions.

"So, how are you doing? In Hogwarts and all of that?" A girl asked while staring at him with a blushing face. She was winking at him and pushing her breast together. Ainz didn't notice her since she wasn't pretty enough for him to bother. It would be hard for any Witch to woo him when someone like him spends so much time around women of immense beauty like Albedo, Narberal, Yuri, and more. It was hard to look impressed or seduced by lesser women. Especially of those whose beauty wasn't even existent.

"It's acceptable. Very big and many rooms."

"If you wish, I could take you on tour... and inspect all places," the girl added with a husky tone.

Ainz just looked amused by the pathetic intent of the girl to seduce him. It was so cringing, in his opinion. And not worth mentioning. However, he didn't expect the sudden reaction from the other Witches of the Ravenclaw table.

"Slut," one whispered.

"To try to be so open about it, what a whore," another stated.

"Nanette, could you at least hide your sluttiness away? Especially in front of our dear prince?"

"Don't be surprised. Nanette has been fucking around with the entire Slytherin fifth year."

"That's a lie!"

Soon, the girls of Ravenclaw started to fight each other, and the reaction was quite funny. But he had quite enough of hearing them fight over him. Albedo and Shalltear were sufficient. So, he slammed his hand on the table, silencing everyone.

"To speak in such a manner before me, it's disgusting," Ainz stated with his best disappointing voice. He looked for a way out and saw Rose and Hermione arriving, noticing the drama on the table.

"If you excuse me."

Ainz stood up, and one would think that such action would make the Ravenclaw table to be quiet and understand what they have done. But instead, it causes more infighting, especially between the girls.

"Uh, good morning... Ainz," Rose said, looking at the mess going on, and so was Hermione.

"What happened?" The bushy girl asked.

"Nothing," Ainz replied quickly. "Are you here to eat breakfast?"

Hermione and Rose looked at the table and some food flying around as poor professor Flitwick took points from the house left, right, and center.

"I am not really a morning eater," Rose stated.

"Yeah... we should get ready for the first class anyway."

Ainz smiled brightly at both girls, and such an angelic grin made both girls blush. "Could you tell me more about the upcoming class? Defense Against the Dark Arts, right?"

"Y-yeah," Hermione replied, a bit nervous. "It's a very good class. Although the teacher may alter the learning process."

"That's a way to say it. But if you want... Ainz, we could tell you all we have learned in the last few years. Would you like to sit with us in the classroom? It's empty so far. We could pick somewhere to sit."

"I would like to," Ainz replied cheerfully as he put his arms on both girls' backs, innocently smiling at both blushing girls. "Lead the way!" His captivating, charming, alluring disposition was now a part of him, even without him knowing. Ainz was now more smooth with things. Rose and Hermione didn't even notice that he had both by the waist as he walked next to them, smiling with such gentleness that the girls simply sighed.

But Ainz wasn't the only one from Nazarick who was at Hogwarts. He wasn't the only one who would have his fun in a manner of speaking.

At the Slytherin table, Shalltear smirked widely at her beloved lord, taking those two human girls away. Shalltear hoped that soon her master would take them to bed and if she was honest, in her humble opinion. Few girls at this school were worthy of her master's attention. Only a few seemed particularly pretty or desirable.

Shalltear's eyes darted to the table where she was sitting and hummed deeply. And it was true that looking for seductive females wasn't part of her current task. But Shalltear couldn't help herself. Since she couldn't outright suck their life away, she had to settle for searching for females to play around and see if they were worthy of Nazarick's glory.

My job is to look for potential users of unique magic and useful allies for Nazarick. Shalltear thought deeply. Right...? Shalltear's mind was working overtime.

"Keep an eye open for such opportunities... right?" Shalltear hummed deeply. The vampire noticed how everyone in the snake house seemed quiet around her. In fact, they sat quite away from her. Maybe, out of fear, respect, or disgust. It didn't matter to Shalltear. Although if it was the last one, she'd be pissed off. Still, Shalltear had a task from the Supreme Being. And she would do her utmost best to achieve completion.

Shalltear huffed as she decided to sit near the most attractive group of students nearby. Shalltear's approach confused the girls as she sat down, practically pushing her way into the small group of witches.

"Uh?"

"What...?"

"Excuse me?"

Shalltear hummed, staring at the girl, with dirty blond hair and incredible blue eyes. And what Shalltear would consider the most attractive, and as well, arrogant. A cute endeavor for a human girl who wanted to be seen as no one to underestimate. Yet for Shalltear, she was nothing but a blood bag with a fairly sensual body.

"You... girl, what's your name?" Shalltear asked the girl with hazel eyes, curly dark brown hair, and small freckles covering her blushing cheeks.

"I... uh! My name is Tracey Davis," she replied nervously.

"Mm, and you?" Shalltear then asked another girl with long dark hair that practically covered her eyes. It was hard to see how she looked since her Hogwarts uniform seemed rather big for her. Making her look like a chubby girl.

"M-Mi-Mi...!" The poor girl was terrified of Shalltear, or maybe it was that she suffered from a sort of anxiety.

"Get on with it," Shalltear hissed, annoyed.

"Millicent Bulstrode!" She exclaimed with a quivering voice.

"Mm... you look overweight... but are you?" Shalltear hummed, inspecting the girl's body and face. She didn't look that bad... but I couldn't be sure until I stripped her naked. Shalltear thought, irritated.

"I... I-...!"

Shalltear waved the girl's fears away, now looking at the other two girls. They looked almost the same.

"You... are?"

The dirty blond-haired girl seemed utterly furious and confused. "My name, if you asked for it. It's Daphne Greengrass, and she is my sister Astoria Greengrass. Heiress of the Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Greengrass. One of the Sacred Twenty-Eight."

Daphne stated proudly and with clear superiority. Yet she knew her titles were meaningless to Shalltear. They were simply not good enough to be mentioned to one who was practically a princess. Nevertheless, Daphne wasn't one to roll over and die. No, after all this time. Daphne knew, however, that Shalltear Nazarick was not like the other heiress. Not at all like those girls from the house. The girl was dangerous. Daphne could sense it. Those eyes of hers made Daphne shiver. The way small silver-haired girl walked around as if she was the most dangerous thing around. Daphne would have laughed if all her instincts had screamed to stay away from that person. After all, Shalltear didn't look magically powerful at all. In fact, Daphne felt nothing from her, just an eerie and rather unsettling aura of nothingness. But that couldn't be it. There was magic in Shalltear that Daphne was sure of, but she couldn't quite grasp it. As if something was holding everything back, like being in the eye of a hurricane.

That's why Daphne has decided to simply stay away from Shalltear and everyone from the Nazarick family as much as possible. A rather big task since her father and mother have ordered her to get closer to them. A mission Daphne wasn't thrilled to do at all.

I wanted to stay put, watch them for a while, and learn more about them. But it seems that is no longer possible. Daphne hissed angrily. "What can I do for you... my princess?" She drawled while Shalltear ignored her.

"Mm, Greengrass... check. Bulstrode... mmhm? Ah, check. Tracey? You're not from the Sacred Twenty-Eight?" Shalltear asked while staring at her notebook, which seemed to have stunned the rest of the girls, who couldn't really understand why she had such an item.

"Ah, no. My family is a... lesser Noble house," Tracey replied nervously. "We are... uh, allies of the Greengrass family...?"

"Are you asking me?.. or telling me?" Shalltear stated that her red eyes brought fear into poor Tracey.

"Telling!"

"I see," Shalltear hummed, closing her little notebook. "Now, my name is Shalltear Nazarick, as you may know by now. And from now on, you four are going to my... friends."

"Wait... what?" Daphne asked, perplexed.

"Shh, my dear. I have great plans for you and your friends."

Shalltear would make her beloved lord proud.

Far away, Albedo was busy with a large pile of paperwork. So many things to do. But her mind and heart could only think of her beloved one. Yet soon enough, she felt shivers across her body, not the good ones.

"That... lamprey! I can sense it! She's thinking of something horrible! Ah! My love, please don't forget about me!"

Poor Albedo, she would surely be missing a lot.
