Chapter 6

Galadriel slept as she has never slept before, truly she would normally have 3 or 4 hours to sleep. But after everything that happened yesterday, she was mentally exhausted.

She just took her armor and dress off and threw herself to the bed and fell asleep quickly. The bed was bigger than her old room, and the silk of the bedsheets and tender of the pillow didn't allow her to get up from this bed.

"Uwa, this is so comfortable, I want to remain here forever!" Galadriel said as she was rolling on her bed.

Sadly, she knew that it was impossible. That brought another problem to her.

"They see me as a deity or something like that, I can't act so freely, I need to be an excellent boss," she said to herself.

"I need to… act like one, as an outstanding leader. I can't let them down, but this will be hard. I don't know what to do…" she said, burying her face in a pillow.

"Wait!" she said and quickly stood up, and from her pocket dimension took a book.

"Well, it works I just had to visualize my items and that's it," she said as she opens the book.

"How to build an Empire Vol I, thank god for the nerds that copy/paste many books from real life," Galadriel said with a smile.

"Lest see, to build an empire one must take in mind the image he/she wishes to impose. This is important as; such a person would be remembered by it. Mhm, I suppose I would have to think about my persona. Should I role-play like before? I guess I would have to keep my image of demon empress, it works, right?" She thought to herself.

She keeps reading until she heard a knock on the door, she quickly hides her book and the notes she was taking and hide behind the bedsheets.

"Yes?" she said with that voice she practices a few minutes back. The voice of a true sovereign.

"Lady Galadriel, this is Yuri Alpha," Galadriel heard.

"Come in, Yuri," the oldest of the Pleiades with a few of the Homunculus maids entered the room. Galadriel saw Sebas waiting outside the room, perhaps because he didn't want to pry in a lady's room or something.

"Yuri, for how long was I asleep?" Galadriel asks.

"For 6 hours, lady Galadriel," Yuri said.

"Uwa, I have never slept so much in my life! I guess that's why I feel so relaxed, Mm, I need to keep sleeping more," she thought.

"I see," Galadriel said, quickly standing up. Colossal mistake, all this time she didn't realize that she was naked. One of her quirks, she always sleeps naked, she guess she didn't even notice when she took her armor out yesterday.

"Shit! Oh my god, I am naked, oh my god, don't look at me, don't look at me!" while Galadriel was screaming inside her head, outside was completely different, her face was completed unfazed by it.

"Robe, please," she said with the voice of a noblewoman.

Quickly one maid brought a robe, and she didn't waste time putting it on.

"Lady Galadriel, would you like breakfast first or a bath?" Yuri said ignoring the fact, that she just saw a supreme being naked.

"Bath first please, then breakfast."

"Understood, my lady."

Galadriel is taking her time, enjoying the warmth in her bathtub. Back home she had a dull shower, and sometimes didn't even work but here, she had a bathroom of the size of a giant swimming pool, utterly ridiculous but god she loved it.

"Sebas, where is Albedo?" she asked, knowing that he could hear her.

Sebas was standing outside the curtains that the Homunculus maids put. Normally she would have freaked out by having people around her, while she was bathing, but she didn't. It was weird. She had a few theories about it, like her racial level of demon empress.

Galadriel thought that, because of the title of empress, her attitude to the servitude of the people of Nazarick change. Like she genuinely felt like she was royalty. She didn't feel embarrassed about her body; she didn't even feel bad about having maids doing her will. She enjoys it actually and it made her feel powerful.

Still, she doesn't want to abuse her power or something like that, but she found out that the maids and every servant in Nazarick were workaholics. So, she would have to do something about it, but not now. Right now, she was enjoying this.

One of the maids was doing some pedicure, another one was brushing her hair, another one was massaging her toes and two were currently having the privilege, as they told her, to clean her wings.

"Lady Albedo is in the office, she had a reunion with Demiurge not too long ago," he said, looking in the door's direction.

"I see, what about the Pleiades, Yuri?" Galadriel asked the older sister of the Pleiades, who was already bringing her clothes, that she allows her to choose for her. It was a green dress for what she could see.

"They are currently patrolling the areas surrounded Nazarick and assisting lord Mare," she said.

That reminded her that she must see the exterior world, she must know what is going on up there.

"Sebas, when I am finished having breakfast, I would like to go out and see for myself," Galadriel said.

"Understood, lady Galadriel, I will arrange the guard so they would be ready," Sebas said.

"Uwa, I could just go alone, they are too serious… perhaps if I demand to go alone… No! I need to act like a proper leader, as a proper empress. Uwa that sounds so bad," Galadriel thought.

"Thank you, Sebas."

After she finally ended her long and relaxing bath, she was now experiencing the most delicious food that she had ever tasted.

It was a simple prawn masala Omelette, but for her, it was paradise.

"This is so good! It's melting in my mouth!" she thought happily while eating the food with an enormous smile.

"I don't know if I can get fat here, but hell, I will die trying! Goodbye to cup noodles, goodbye to artificial egg yolk, I will not miss you at all!"

After she finally enjoys her breakfast, she went to the first floor, where Demiurge and his bodyguards were waiting for her.

"Lady Galadriel, here we are to guard you," he said with devotion.

"Mm, good," she only said as she walks out the tomb for the first time since she arrives here. She gasps when she saw the blue sky.

"Beautiful," she said.

And without waiting to say anything else, use her black wings to fly to the skies. Demiurge and the deadly sins follow her immediately.

"Blue planet would have lost his mind," she mumbled.

Even she couldn't stop looking at the beauty of the moon, the clean air, the stars. She lived for 34 years back in her old world and she has never seen a single star.

"This is what my mother once told me they look like, breathtaking, they are amazing," Galadriel said, softly.

"Did lady Frigg say that?" Demiurge said with a smile on his face. Galadriel frown when she heard that.

"I guess they believe that Frigg is actually my actual mother… well, I guess I have to play along then," she thought.

"Yes, she told me that each star was a world of their own, full of life and waiting to be explored. Perhaps it is the reason why we are here… this world is a gem, ready for the taken," she said with a dreaming voice.

"If this is what our lady desire, Nazarick would get you this gem," Demiurge said with full devotion.

"Really? Mm, yes… I guess conquering this world would be fun," she said without thinking too much about it. The demons behind her could only gasp.

"Okay, that was a little cringe, but like that would ever happen, still this world is new and full of opportunities. I wonder if I am the only one who was brought here. If there was another player, should I help him or her? Or should I stay hidden? Back in Yggdrasil, Ainz Ooal Gown was popular and very hated as well. We face many haters and trolls. I don't feel helping anyone I don't trust… I wonder if one of my friends was brought here… even though the possibilities are low since they were not even online," Galadriel sigh.

"I will forever remember them, forever love them, but they are not here, only me and Nazarick. I will make Ainz Ooal Gown a legend in this world too, and if there is any other player like myself who forgot about us, I will make them remember!" Galadriel thought.

"Lady Galadriel?" she turns around and saw Demiurge and the deadly sins looking at her gasping for air.

"Ah, I apologize, I forgot that my [Demonic Aura] activated," she really needs to keep her control on that skill.

"Not at all, my lady, but may I ask, what bothers you?" Demiurge asked.

"Nothing to worry about, I was just lost in thoughts," she said.

She looked down and saw earth being move around, like waves, and Mare is the one responsible for it.

"I will check on Mare, I'd like to give him a reward, but I wonder that would be appropriate," she asks out loud.

"I believe you talking to him will be enough, my lady," Galadriel sigh when she heard that.

"Not the point, Demiurge…" she said, almost rubbing her forehead.

She flew to the dark elf and as she guessed; she surprises him as the poor Mare was trembling in her presence.

"Lady Galadriel, I-I humbly thank you for coming…" then he got quiet like he lost his voice.

"Ah, mmm, you don't have to fear me," Galadriel said.

"I came here to reward you for your hard work, I want you to know how satisfied I am with your flawless work, accept this reward," she said holding the Ring of Ainz Ooal Gown.

"B-B-But that's too much, it's wrong, that ring belongs to the supreme beings, I can't possibly accept such a thing!" Mare said in a frenetic voice.

"Relax, Mare, this ring is useful since let you teleport between levels. I know how you feel, but I think you would need it in the future… take it, it's an order," she said with finality on her voice.

"Thank you so much, lady Galadriel, I won't disappoint you!"

"God, this is tiring, why can they accept a simple gift, Ugh!" Galadriel scolds on her mind.

"Lady Galadriel, why are you doing here?" Mare asked.

"Well, it obvious Mare," Galadriel turn around and saw the beautiful Albedo next to her.

"Where the fuck did she came from?! Is she following me?!" Galadriel panic for a few moments.

"Albedo, you are here," she said, using a very aristocratic voice she just learns a few seconds ago.

"I will always be where the supreme one needs me!" Albedo said with a beautiful smile. Then she saw the ring on Mare's hands and for a millisecond, it twisted in horror.

"Are you all right, Albedo?" Galadriel asks a little scared.

"Of course, my lady Galadriel, everything is fine," her smile sends give me the creeps.

"A-all right, here this ring will help you in the duty ahead of you, I will give you one to you as well Demiurge," Galadriel said as she looks at the twitching succubus holding the ring on her hands.

"I have to get out of here! She will explode!" she screams in her mind.

"Good, now I will retire to my room, I will talk to both of you later," she didn't wait for a response and teleport away and even then, Galadriel swears she heard Albedo war cry.

Far away, a certain warrior captain was looking through the rubble of a burndown town.

"Captain Stronoff, any survivors?" the lieutenant asked.

"Sadly, no. Bandits don't attack like this, this was a coordinated one, with no witness or survivors." The warrior captain said somberly.

"Don't you think this is too strange? Don't you think this is a trap for you? The nobles of the kingdom hold no love for you, is it not better to leave?" the warrior captain could only smile at his lieutenant.

"Both you and I were born in this kind of place, we know better than anybody how horrible and dangerous it is. All these villages are waiting for someone to appear and help them… now that I am strong, I intend on doing that," he smiles feeling stronger than ever.

"I understand," the lieutenant whispered.

Both of them didn't know that they were being observed by a group of men with strange outfits.

"Tomorrow morning, we will attack the next village, guide the beasts to their cage," the men said with a smirk on his face since he believes that there would be nothing stopping him for completing his mission.
