Sif along with the rest of Cocytus's vassals followed him towards the Throne Room matching his slow pace, he had led the forces of Nazarick and resulted in defeat

He didn't blame the lizardmen though he rather thought highly of them as a warrior, no he was more upset that the first battle in their first campaign had ended in defeat something that shouldn't have never happened

Sif wagged her tail anxiously looking at the vermin lord her father had given him practically useless troops to test if Cocytus could use them effectively not expecting an intelligent opponent to defeat him so easily, so while she wouldn't say it out loud she knew that the fault was shared between you and Cocytus

She could only hope you wouldn't go so far and order his execution or some other terrible fate noticing how he trembled her ears lay flat on her head who knows what thoughts ran through him to shudder

They finally reached the Legemeton finding not just the stone golems that protected the Throne Room, but the other Guardians specifically Demiurge, Aura, Mare, and Shalltear with their choice of high level vassal

They seemed to pick up on Cocytus's heavy footsteps because all their eyes turned on him stirring him to stand straight and raise his head before continuing inside

Cocytus: forgive my lateness even Demiurge who was on a distant assignment reached here before me.

Sif left his side to stand with the twins who smiled at her Aura giving her signature peace sign as Mare waved

Demiurge: think nothing of it there is no need to apologize for such trivial matters "whether he truly meant it was only known to himself, such an expert in scheming to speak in a calm neutral tone" I've already informed the other guardians, but I'll be taking Albedo's place as Overseer this time round, any objections?

Cocytus: no, everything will be fine if your in charge.

Albedo was currently awaiting you and Ainz's return on the surface so he had to step in momentarily she would also have to step in for Seba's place

Demiurge: good then once everyone is here we will proceed to the Throne Room together however since Albedo is not here I'd like to sort out the order in which we show our respects while this sort of thing should be rehearsed beforehand there is no time for that now I shall thus give a verbal explanation to speed things up, so please pay attention.

Sif stared confused counting everyone since it appeared that there was no one who could considered missing without a reason

That was until she spotted the pink war spawn reject slowly floating in their direction upon closer inspection she notes the long tail with featherless wings on it's back along with a halo resting atop it's head, it was a fetus to simplify it

Aura: who's that?

Demiurge: that's Victim. Guardian of the Eighth Floor.

Aura: so that's Victim.

Victim reached the main group doing a full circle probably looking around himself since he had no apparent neck

Victim: rohtuA eht I saw ti tub ,eugolaid s'mitciV eb ot siht detcepxe uoY.

Everyone, but Demiurge were fazed by his peculiar manner of speech so he responded on everyone's behalf

Demiurge: welcome Victim, I am demiurge and I am taking Albedo's place for this meeting

Victim: YBWR dnatsrednu ot drah s'ti gnisufnoc os eht dna ETAF gnisufnoc s'ti dnatsrednu ot ysae eht neewteb esoohc t'nac ohw kcuf evisicednu na m'I yletanutrofnu tuo flesym gninrub fo raef ni seirots owt naht erom gnitirw ekil t'nod I tub ,denilcni esoht rof yrots wen ym daolpu ot desoppus saw I wonk I haey haey.
