Albedo aimed straight and true for Pandora's neck as she rushed in with her battle-axe.
That look on her face… Albedo is seriously trying to kill Pandora! I must stop her! concluded Ainz who was peeking from afar.
"[Teleport]. Stop Albedo… Lupus."
"Wah? Ainz-sa…," fumbled Lupusregina.
"No. Impossible! Must be one of Pandora's tricks!" denied Albedo, as she continued her assault.
"Albedo! Stop! That's the real Ainz…!"
Pandora's voice did not reach.
Ainz pointed one finger and activated a spell.
"[Negative void]."
The energy from Albedo's axe deflected and obliterated a giant crater that narrowly missed the intended target.
"Wah… What is this!?"
"Sleep for a bit, Albedo. [Dreamland Wonders]."
Albedo's body fell limply to the ground.
Pandora and Lupusregina ran up to Ainz.
"Ainz-sama, are you okay?"
"You are unharmed, right?"
Ainz answered neither Lupusregina nor Pandora. He blankly stared at Albedo on the floor before issuing a command.
"Lupus! Heal her and lock her up in the Frost Prison for now."
"Understood."
"As for you Pandora…"
Indeed, what should I do with him? The fault of the child is the fault of a parent… I guess, thought Ainz.
"… You are grounded. Go to your room and reflect on what you did."
Pandora saluted.
"Mein Fuhrer! You are too kind…"
Lupusregina slumped Albedo over her shoulders, while Pandora held his pose.
Pandora and Lupusregina were reluctant to leave but did not dare to anger Ainz by challenging his command.
"[Gate]"
When the three disappeared, Ainz had one more thing left on his mind.
Select what Ainz thinks and proceed to route:
1. What should I what Albedo's hot-headedness in the future? (Route 12)
2. Why did Albedo become so bloodthirsty after seeing Tabula's image? (Route 22)
