I stand with Axston on the stairs to his capitol building. A massive crowd of his subjects stand looking up at us with a bit of restlessness. Hundreds of Elites stand in the back, facing towards Kaguya. Axston and I shake hands as two Elites burn Slane Theocracy memorabilia behind us. I clear my throat and raise a hand up.

"With this offical declaration of friendship between our cities, I would like to say a few words. I understand many of you find this situation unusual. But I would ask you just give us a chance at this alliance, as I know we can make something quite beautiful from it."

I look out at Kaguya as she quietly talks to the Elites. She snaps her fingers and dozens of the members of the crowd move to her. They bow before materializing their Elite uniforms. She motions at them as if separating them into groups. I look forward and continue to speak.

"You see. In our culture, the Elite is a symbol of power and discipline. Guardians of order and a culture. Do not mistake their voracity or their unity as a lack of individuality and or a lack of will."

A dozen Elites teleport in front of the steps, their hands behind their backs. Their uniforms burst into black smoke, leaving them looking like everything from peasants, to nobles, to mages, to blacksmiths and anything in between. They all raise a hand, unleashing a collection of colorful fire that forms into a chinese dragon. It rushes up into the air before exploding, filling the sky with color and fire.

"Assist them as they assist you. The upcoming days will be busy, and there is much to be done. But we look forward to a bright future with all of you."

Many in the crowd begin clapping and cheering, some still skeptical but clap regardless. Kaguya claps her hands, causing all the Elites to break off into individual groups. Axston and I shake hands. He grips my hand in anger but with a forced smile. I smile, gripping his hand just hard enough to make his eye wince.

A portal opens behind me and I turn towards it. As I start walk through it, I can feel his upset gaze on my back. I look back with another warm smile before speaking.

"You look tired, Axston. Maybe take a few days to relax. Enjoy yourself a bit. I shall return in time."

He walks back into his throne room. A group of Elites begin by visiting every store, merchant, food stall, and blacksmith around the entire city. They all give them requisition orders on parchment, requesting all goods and materials at triple the current price.The owners happily oblige as death knights push wagons of all the similar or better materials to the respective stores.

They offer to sell all of the goods for a fifth of the original price that they all accept. A group of Elites begin constructing an expansive festival area filled with lights, decorations, and food stands covered in my banners across all the buildings. Another group forms up all the human's remaining army into on group before leasing them outside the city wall. Outside the walls, Elites divide the group based on their class, skill level, and strength.They begin instructing them in advanced techniques of war, unit tactics, magic, sword fighting, and healing.

They teach the mages more advanced spells than the humans could conger at the moment. Even though they struggle greatly to mimic the Elites, they still continue to train fiercly.

Sprinkled across the city, missionaries in hooded black and red robes greet passers-by, gesturing kindly for the to listen to them in exchange for small amounts of gold or food. Most pass by uninterested. But some stop and listen to them tell of a story of an ancient god that is like a father to humanity for many millennium. Slowly, the groups listening begins to increase as the day continues.

Undead begin rapidly repairing the wall Kaguya destroyed on the initial siege. As they work, they begin adding more layers and constructing an even bigger wall around the city. They tirelessly and relentlessly construct fences of bones, the Undead mages marking sacred seals all around the city and death knights patrol the nearby lands. All this to cause a massive economic and cultural boom with the humans for phase one of the plan.

Axston stands looking out his window in his study, gripping a chalice of wine in frustration abd with a sunken face. A young noble man with brown hair and glasses approaches him with a bow.

"My Lord, I have looked over the activities in the city today. I-It's unlike anything I've ever seen!"

Axston grunts with displeasure. "I know. Something is not right."

The man looks shocked for a moment before standing upright. "Your majesty, the total funds in the city has increased well over three hundred percent in a single day! The power of the remaining forces has quadrupled, and all the damages to the city are close to being fully repaired! Is this not a good thing?"

"Of course not!" Axston snaps back. "I can see right through this... this... insidious ploy. It's not an alliance, it's a complete assimilation of us by an imperialistic despot!

The man coughs gently and smiles a bit. "With all do respect, Lord. Perhaps you're being too pessimistic. He has already demonstrated their ability to conquer the city. Maybe he wants a genuine alliance between humanity and his beings."

Axston sips his wine and sits back in his chair. He thinks for a long time. "No. Humanity can not co-exist with these... these things. His eyes are that of some kind of an ancient unspeakable evil."

Axston motions to one of the two heavy royal guards by his door. "What about you? Are you one of them??"

"O-Of course not, Lord! I just..."

"Just what?"

"Well, I suppose I'm just happy if I dont have to be around the crazy blue hair lady thing." He shivers a bit. "I've never seen anything like it."

The other guard speaks up respectfully. "I don't know, my Lord. They are organizing festivals in our honor, they are showering us with gifts and praise. I sense no malevolent intentions."

Axston gives them all a piercing stare filled with paranoia before finally sighing. "There must be some way to usurp their control somehow. Until I figure out how exactly, We'll have to play his games."

"Well... At this rate, we'll become the most powerful human settlement in all of Yggdrasil atleast."

As I sit on my throne, Uriel, Lilith, Aamon and Kaguya get to one knee before me. I raise my hand and they all stand, looking up at me with great respect. Uriel smiles, her hands on her chest.

"I must say Lord. You're even more exceedingly brilliant than I remeber!"

Lilith rolls her eyes. "Stop being such a suck up. We all already understood his brilliance long ago."

"Shut up, witch!" She snaps back with fire in her eyes.

I motion to them. "Enough! There is no time for bickering!"

The both immediately calm and look up at me with their hands together. "Apologies, Master!"

"Now, Overseer Kaguya. Please come and step forward."

Her cheeks light up as she steps forward. She clumsly gets on her knee again. She lets out a slight grunt in frustration for her mistake.

"Y-Yes, my Lord?"

I lean forward, the flames rising from the back of my thrown in a dramatic way. "So. I heard that when our forces gathered outside the mortal's city, you stepped in to the confrontation. Am I correct?"

She nods a bit timidly, a hand over her chest as she looks down. "I did, Lord. I thought I could prove myself to you."

I nod, my index finger on my chin. "I see. And you went ahead without the aid of our armies? The armies I put there for that specific reason?"

She coughs a bit, her gaze fixated on the ground. "Yes, Master."

I wait for a few moments, before commanding her. "To your feet, Overseer."

She stands with her hands tightly over her chest. I stand and step down to her. I put my hand on her shoulder firmly.

"You, have proven much. I'm afraid I can not just ignore your actions. I'm stripping you of your title as Overseer."

Her eyes shoot open, her breathing a bit panicked as her hands tremble a bit. "I-I..."

I hold up my hand to stop her. "I can not allow such bravery and loyalty to go unrewarded. From this moment on, you are now Lady Kaguya."

She looks up at me with tears starting form in her eyes and shocked expression on her face. Her cheeks light up bright red. She lets out an excited gasp before jumping up and wrapping her arms around me in the tightest embrace I think I've ever had.

"T-Thank you! Thank you, Lord! You have no Idea what this means to me!"

Uriel and Lilith both growl a bit, starring daggers into her. After a few moments, she jumps back with a completely embarrassed look and shifting her hips.

"A-Apologies, Lord! I-I shouldn't have lost my composure like that. I will not fail you!"

I look at her and give a slight nod before motioning her back in line. After she falls back in line, I put my arms behind my back. This is an excellent opportunity to work on my admittedly shoddy motivational speaking I feel. I begin to pace slowly in front of them as I speak with power in my voice. I look at them, seeing them with their gaze to the ground.

"Raise your heads proudly, my exemplary yet humble lords. Hold them up high, as you have earned and deserve the title of gods of this world. But do not let these praises cloud your judgments. Make no mistake... Yggdrasil... she will raise her spears against you. Not out of malice.

But out of ignorance. Ignorance of your position in the new world. I won't, no... I can't rest until you sit on top of your thrones above this world. The cities of mortals will be filled with statues honoring your power, your strength and your beauty. Mortals will sing your praises for thousands of years, and all non mortals will envy and fear you.

And I will join you. But not just as your Lord. But as the guiding hand that will show the rest of Yggdrasil how magnificent you all truly are."

I look over at them to see their reaction. Uriel breaths heavy, her hands on her cheeks with crazy eyes. Lilith looks at the ground while clutching her chest with both hands. Aamon and the Elites nod in approval. Kaguya rest her cheek on her closed hands, hearts in her eyes.

Sweet, a much better reaction than anticipated. Kai and Kiki drop to their knees on both sides of me, a single tear running down their cheeks. The most emotion I think I've ever seen them show. They both grab my hands and caress my hands with their cheeks.

"P-Please accept our undying feality and unconditional love, Lord."

"We are nothing without you."

I smile and gently shake my head. "Nonsense. Without you, none of this would be possible. You guys are the most important things in the world to me."

Uriel, Lilith, and Kaguya tackle me to the ground. My back slams to the floor and Kaguya buries her face under my chin. Lilth and Uriel kiss my face all over as I struggle to push them back.

"Okay, Okay... guys... calm... down! I can't... breath!"

After ten minutes of struggling from my life, they finally calm down enough to line back up. I stand, wiping smeared lipstick from my face and coughing. They look at me with content and love in their eyes, but with a hint of animalistic hunger.

"Anyways..." I say dusting myself off. "Back to the task at hand. I have something very important that needs to be done..."

Suddenly, a maid teleports next to me and whispers in my ear. "Sincerest apologies for interrupting, Lord. But you have a visitor."

I look at her a bit confused. "What? I was not expecting anyone. How is this possible?"

"He says he wants to introduce himself to you. What do we do?"

I scratch my chin in contemplation for a moment. An unexpected vistor? Tanya read her calculations to me, and there was nothing about a visitor at this time. Hmmm.

"Bring them in at once."

Lord Aamon tilts his head and looks at the chamber doors. "Odd..." He whispers to himself.

Two maids escort the visitor in. Demiurge walks in, a mischievous smile on his face as one hand rest behind his back. He speaks with confidence and charisma.

"Ahh. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Demiurge. I come on behalf of my Lord in The Great Tomb of Nazarick."

Kai and Kiki step forward but I motion my head for them to stop. "Oh, is that so? Tell me Demiurge, what business does your lord have with us?"

He chuckles a bit. "My brilliant Master, Lord Ainz Ooal Gown, has been keeping an eye on you and your mighty armies. He sends his regards, and expresses an interest in formely meet you."

I think to myself for a moment. Bingo, this is my ticket ro figuring out what the humans fear so heavily. And this will allow Tanya to better assess our situation.

"We appreciate your Lord's intrest, and we would be honored for him to come visit my city."

Demiurge pushes up his glasses with his finger with another smile. "Excellent. I will extend the invitation to my Lord at once. Expect us in a few days time."

"We look forward to our meeting, Demiurge."

He gives a slight bow before turning around and walking back out of the throne room.

Later that evening, I leave the main entrance of the church accompanied by several Elites. I motion for them to go back to the church and begin walking towards the tavern. The residents of the farming village notice me, and immediately hide in their homes. I can feel them all watching me while I enter the tavern. As I walk in, Brock raises an eyebrow as he pours a pint of ale.

"Well well. If it isn't the "Lord". Decided to pay us lonely peasants a vist?"

"Shut up, ya old washed up bastard." I say as I lean on the bar, throwing up a couple coins onto the bar. He serves me up the ale and begins wiping the counter top down.

"You know, folks have been saying so mighty strange things about you and those weirdos at the church."

I take a drink and look at him with a raised eyebrow. "I didn't realize the drinks came with idle gossip."

"Ha. Fair point. It does make me think back on the story you were telling me. Maybe you're not so full of it."

"Nah, don't think too much about it."

"Well it's kinda hard not too. Had multiple fellows from the Theocracy come in asking a bunch of questions. Particularly about the church and you."

"Oh yeah? What did you tell them?"

He shrugs, wiping the counter. "Nothin. Ain't none of my business what goes on up the hill. They were mighty angry though."

I shrug back and take another drink. "Don't worry about them. They just don't realize we are all friends yet."

"Oh yeah, you're really good at making those. A small camp of the empire boys are around. They've been harassing the town, threating the villagers and asking alot of questions."

I raise an eyebrow. "Oh? Where are they at?"

"It's the darndest thing, my memory is a bit fuzzy. Guess it's old age."

I roll my eyes and throw another coin onto the table. He snatches it up. "Ah this is why you're my favorite customer!"

I lean foward. "Where are the empire's soldiers?"

"Just up the road. By that weird crater not too far from here. Think they set up a small camp around there."

I finsh the drink and begin to walk away when he suddenly grabs my wrist. "Hey look. I don't know what you got going on up there. But this town is just a bunch of farmers and peasants. Maybe a fence or something would be nice."

I pull my hand away and motion back to him. After I step outside, I take a deep breath. After a few moments, I turn and begin walking down the path. I snap my fingers as I walk down the road. Kai and Kiki appear behind me, their hands resting together in front of them as they walk behind me.

"Yes, Lord?"

I look back. "We are just gonna pay a quick visit to an empire camp up the way. Come."

We walk until eventually, we come into sight of the camp. I gesture for them to stay as I move closer. The camp is a medium size, about forty or so troops. A group of a few sit huddled around a camp fire in front of me with their backs turned to me. I silently walk up and kneel down, warming my hands by the fire.

"You know, it's pretty crazy. I don't remember telling the empire they could be in or around the town and church."

The soldiers jump, expressions of shock and terror on their faces. One instinctively raises a sword but with quick flash of light his hands fall the ground. Another flash happenes and his head rolls to the ground. Kiki impales his head with her katana.

"Run, you fools! Run before they kill you all!" I say with a chuckle. Kai teleports in front of one with a spear and shatters the end with her forearms. The rest of the troops scramble as a giant storm of fire and ice erupts across the camp. The ones that are too slow either get impaled with giant ice spikes or completely incinerated to ash.

A couple of days later, I sit in the throne room again. All the lords sit on one knee, lined up to my left. Dozens of Elites and death knights stand in line behind them, as well as on the right. The throne room doors open and my throne's flames burst into a blood red inferno. As the walls line with raging fires, Kai and Kiki Lead in Lord Ainz Ooal Gown's guardians followed by himself .

They all walk in lined in front of him in the order of Albedo, Demiurge, Shalltear, Cocytus, Aura and finally Mare. The floor guardians stop directly in front my Lords and take one knee as Lord Ainz walks down the center. He looks at me, his gaze one of judgment and confidence.

"It is a pleasure to have you and your Lords visit my great city, Lord Ainz Ooal Gown."

I bow my head a bit and he reciprocates it. "The pleasure is ours, Lord of Destruction. I believe we may have a common intrest that would benefit from a discussion."

I nod in agreement. "I agree. Let us talk in the gardens. A change of scenery seems appropriate."

I snap my fingers. Kai and Kiki teleport to the right most wall. They clap their hands, causing the wall to shift down into a staircase leading to the gardens. I stand and step down the steps, gesturing for Ainz to follow accompany me. He walks, his staff in hand as I walk beside him, my hands behind my back.

We both motion for our lords to relax before descending the stairs. All the Lords stand and look at each other. Shiemi looks at Aura, Mare and cocytus.

"Sooo... Do you guys like manga?"

They look at her in confusion for a second and Kaguya's expression changes to excitment. What's manga?" Aura says, a finger on her chin. Shiemi's eyes light up.

"Oh! I have lots of it! Come, I'll show you!"

Cocytus looks intrigued. "Hmmm. I'd like to see this "manga" too."

They all walk off out of the throne room, accompanied by Elites. Uriel and Albedo stand across from each other, faning themselves while starring daggers into each other.

"Great. More demon Lords." Uriel says, a bit snobbishly. Before Albedo could snap at her, Lilith walks up with a curious look.

"My, My What's this an unfamiliar succubus?"

Lilith studies her for a moment before her eyes light up with hearts. She puts her hands on her cheeks with a big smile.

"And she is a virgin?? We had a virgin just like you not too long ago!"

Shalltear bust up laughing. Albedo and Uriel both growl and yell silence in unison. They both look at each other before adopting scowls again.

"I suppose I could show you around, since we have time to waste while the Lords talk."

Uriel motions for Albedo, Shalltear, Lilith, and Tanya to follow her. Demiurge and Aamon both look at each other with a bit of fascination.

"How interesting. You must be a very old Demon Lord." He says to Aamon.

Aamon nods. "One of the oldesst. You must be fairly new to Yggdrasil, I take it."

Demiurge chuckles. "Older does not always mean wiser, Lord..."

"Lord Aamon. I am inclined to agree. But trust me, I am more than capable."

"I see. Would you perhaps enjoy a game of chest then, Aamon."

Aamon laughs. "Only if you feel like losing, Demiurge."

The both walk off out of the throne room. In the gardens, Ainz and I walk side by side. He studies his surroundings for a moment before nodding.

"Quite the beautiful garden. Reminds me of similar places in Nazarick."

I nod, a bird landing on my shoulder as wel slowly walk through. "The compliment is appreciated. Places like this take millenniums to build and maintain, as i'm sure you can imagine."

"Indeed. As to the purpose of this meeting is because of the mortal city of Belhaven."

I chuckle lightly. "Ah I see. And did you have something on your mind about that?"

"Yes. The Baharuth leaders have implied that as an ally of theirs, we must take the city back for them."

"I see. Understandable they are very disgruntled over the events that transpired. They attacked my people though, you see. I could not stand idle with that kind of insult."

Ainz glances over at me, a slight nod of respect. "I understand. Nothing is more important to you than your people."

"Most definitely. They are more than just people to me. They are like my family. A family that looks to me for guidance."

This statement really resonates with Ainz. "You know, at one time I wasn't the only Overlord in Nazarick. There were eight others. Our guild was Nine's Own Goal."

I look at him with intrest. "What happend?"

Ainz explained in great detail his old guildmates, their power and jobs. As he explained all this, I saw a brief flash of sadness in his eyes before it turned back into confidence. After a long walk and discussion, we head back up stairs to the throne room. As we reach the top Ainz chuckles lightly before resting a hand on my shoulder. The other Lords lined up again and kneeling upon us reaching the top.

"You know, it is rare to meet another Lord with such a grasp on the important things."

I nod respectfully. "I absolutely agree. It is quiet refreshing."

"Well, I know you all are very busy and we have much preparations to do in Nazarick. We shall meet again shortly."

"Indeed. Safe travels, Lord Ainz Ooal Gown. We have much preparations to do here as well."

We both bow to each other. He walks off, his Lords following in a line behind him. After they exit, I sit on my throne. I rub my forehead and shake my head.

Uriel looks up at me with concern. "What's wrong, Lord? Did the discussion not go well?"

"No. Not as good as I'd hoped. Nazarick has a great intrest in a formal alliance with us."

Aamon and Uriel look at each other a bit puzzled. "Iss thiss not a good thing, my Lord?"

I cross my legs and put my hands together. "No. On the surface, it is fantastic. Ainz and his Lords are an absolute and unwavering power in Yggdrasil."

Tanya nods adamantly. "But alliances are the number one causes of wars."

"Exactly. Everything we do from here on must be tactful, premeditated and with no uncertainty."

Uriel thinks for a second. "So you don't trust them?"

"Absolutely not! Nor do they us. But they respect us. Which is arguably more important."

Everyone nods in agreement. I lean forward and rest my hands on my legs. "But as of right now, we need to prepare for the ceremony. And I have just the gift in mind for them."

Early the next morning, up near the top of the Azerlisia Mountains an Elite with a black fur coat walks up a path. Elites push up the mountain, obliterating the giants and other beasts along the path. The lone Elite walks forward until he reaches a roaring camp fire. As he sits next to it, a woman Elite stokes the flames that struggle against fierce winds. He shivers and blows into his hands.

"I'm so f-f-freaking cold! I can't feel my feet or nose anymore!"

The woman laughs. "You better get use to it fast. Lord Uriel says were gonna be up here awhile."

Undead minions begin constructing large log walls around a clearing the group made pushing up the mountain. He pushes his hands closer to the fire.

"Why are we up here anyways? There's really not anything up this high."

She sits back before tossing a log into the fire. "No clue. Something about a prototype that Lady Everness designed. I can never understand anything she says. Nothing but insane half the time."

He nods while blowing into his hands again. An explosion happens up ahead followed by massive roar.

"Surprised they haven't caused an avalanche yet with all the explosions and yelling going on."

The female Elite shakes her head. "Don't jinx it."

"Yeah probably not a good idea. But I have been curious about something recently."

"Oh yeah? What?"

"Why do we have to wear blindfolds all the time? I mean, obviously we don't need out sight. But you know, in the academies, and the grueling camps, they constantly trained us to not take them off."

A figure walks up behind him before kneeling one knee. It was one of Aamon's generals, covered in frost and blood of a beast. They both try to get up but he motions for them to relax.

"It is because your sight can be easly deceived. Most rely stricly on their sense of sight to perceive the world. But not you. Your combined senses give you a much clearer, better vision of your surroundings than sight alone ever could. The eye on it represents not just the dedication we have for the Lord of Destruction, but in the wisdom he and indeed all of the Lords posses.

Does this satisfy your curiousity?"

He nods. "It does, sir."

"Very well then. Come you two. Your brothers and sisters are almost up to the clearing."

They all three walk a dozen feet down the path. Sixty Elites and numerous death knights pull on ropes, dragging a giant stone pillar with a glowing crystal orb at the end of it up the path. Lady Uriel glides backwards close to the side of them, wearing a furry white coat and furry white leggings under her dress.

"Come, come my darlings! Nearly there! I know you are all very eager to get out of the cold!" She says with a couple claps. When they finally reach the clearing where the undead are constructing the walls, they all pull on the ropes. The pillar raises up until vertically into the air. The crystal orb glows a bright white as waves of magic cut through the air.

"Now for the test. Please, everyone gather around me and channel your magic into the orb."

They all gather around her and begin sending all their magic into the crystal. The waves become more intense and warmer with every ounce of mana poured into it. Finally, Uriel channels her own into the orb. Light tears through the sky into it into the crystal, causing the ground to violently shake.

A gigantic beam of light shoots from the crystal out into the air away from the mountian. The energy stops suddleny and forms into a super ball of power. It shoots out beams, carving an eye into the landscape before it falls into the earth below. The stength and violence of the detonation is so powerful, it completely obliterates a hundred miles of empty wilderness. The Elite, feeling the shockwave through his bones shakes his head in awe.

"My god..."

(Sexual scene)

As I lay on my bed for the evening, I look over to see a hot bowl of soup with a bouquet of flowers on the night stand. I stretch and yawn loudly. When I look back over, I see Uriel laying next to me. I recoil a bit in surprise.

"Whoa! Give me some warning before you pop up like that!"

She plays with her bangs, a shy expression on her face. "S-Sorry, Lord. I noticed you have been taking alot of naps recently. So I thought you might be a bit under the weather."

"No, No I'm fine."

She climbs up on top of me, her hands down on my chest as she bats her eyes at me. "Are you sure? Maybe there is something I can do to... Do for you..."

I raise an eyebrow and put my hands over hers. "Hmm. What did you have in mind?"

She leans in closely, her gentle breath hitting my cheek as she whispers. "Alot of things."

She presses our lips together, the soft sensation sending tingles across my face. I rub her elegant hips and slowly bring my hands up. Her breathing gets heavier as she nibbles on my bottom lip. She waves her hand which causes the lights in the room to go out. She puts both her hands on my cheeks as I kiss her neck.

She gasps a bit before pulling me in closer to her. She runs her fingers through my hair and playfully nibble her cheek. She smiles and laughs a little as she unsnaps her bra. She presses her bare chest against mine while covering us with the blanket.

"Suddenly, I feel much better." I tease her. She rolls her eyes a bit with another smile as she slides iff her panties.

"Shhhh. Don't spoil the mood." She says with a finger on my lips. I nod and open my robes. She grips both my hands, pushing up against them as she slides down. Her grip tightens hard, her cheeks bright red and her eyes glowing in the darkness. As her hips move in a rhythmic motion her toes curl and she lets out gasps with each thrust.

I lean up, kissing her chest and breast softly. I nibble her chest a bit and it causes her to twitch slightly. She moves harder and faster, her body becoming hotter and hotter. Sweat begins to run down her stomach as she puts both her hands next to my head. I grab her hips while biting her neck.

Both us covered in sweat, she lets out ine final scream before collapsing into my chest. She looks up at me, her hair in eyes. "I-I... I lo..."

I pant a little bit then embrace her tightly. "Do you feel better, my queen?"

She nods quickly, a cute shyness in her expression. I move the hair from her eyes before putting two fingers on her chin and lifting her eyes to look into mine.

"Good." I say and kiss her. She snuggles in my chest before quickly falling asleep. I try to move after awhile but she holds on to me tighter. I just shrug and begin drifting off into a deep sleep.
