*thump* *thump* *thump*

The sound of footsteps echoed through the hollow walls as the undead took frightening steps down the long corridor.

Walking at an arm's length behind him is the maid assigned to him for the day.

As they reached the door, she quickly picked up her pace so that she was now walking in front of him. And without wasting a beat, she opened the door and made way for ainz to walk through.

Though such actions would be perceived as trivial to a typical maid, the maids of nazarick took it very serious, as serious as all their other work.

The reason being that it was one of the few times they could actually be of use to the Supreme beings.

Grabbing the door, then opening it so that she was perfectly adjacent to the handle, Leaving a calculated opening of around 4 meters. More than enough for the masterful being to make his entrance.
Then, approximately 2 and a half seconds before he walks past her, she would bow her head at a 30° angle.

This was so that she didn't bow her head so far that it obstructs his majesty path, while at the same time not being so high that it could be interpreted as showing rudeness.

Combining the utmost of mathematical formulas to execute the proper level of elegance as well as etiquette when serving.

Indeed, a maid's job was no joke.

Aunz walked through the door, entering the throne room where all his guardians patiently waited with their heads bowed to the floor.

Both albedo and Pandora's actor were also present.

It was a good thing ainz had Nfirea study and produce healing potions, the results of the red potions, known in this new world as "God's blood", seem to have surpassed even his expectations.
The two guardians had been brought back to full health after taking a considerate amount of bottles.

As usual, the undead made his way to his throne before silently sitting down.

Alot has happened, so much so that he didn't even know where to begin. The notion that he might have been the most powerful in this world has now being flushed down the drain.
From here henceforth, every plan must be in the expectation that his enemy is stronger, wiser, and faster than himself. A plan utilizing and practicing the utmost of caution.

That was what the battle with the one called accelerator had taught him.

"Raise your heads."

As instructed, everyone in the room raised their heads.

Though reluctant and feeling somewhat ashamed, albedo too raised her head.

"...albedo...Pandora's actor."

The two jolted uneasily at the mention of their names.

They were afraid.

To have performed so poorly and still call themselves guardians of ainz ooal gown. It was a shameful act.

They could only wince in horror while imagining how the most Supreme of the Supreme beings was going to apprehend them.

"...well done."

The two guardians opened their tightly shut eyes, surprise written all over their face, or at least, all over albedo's face.

Though it was not what they were expecting, at the same time, it kind of was.

"Right, usually in times like this, It was only natural to smack your subordinate around for their incompetence and shameful loss. But, the gravity of the situation almost made one fact slip my mind.."
