Bathe in Peace

I need to get back into drawing...

---

Ainz: Gier, your early.

(Y/n): is this the reason why I wasn't notified?

Sif, scared of her predicament slouches trying to make herself seem smaller a skeletal hand resting atop her heard scruffing at her ears easing her fear

Ainz: you weren't notified because you weren't suppose to be here yet.

(Y/n): if that is the case, then why is Sif here?

Ainz: why? why else would I bring someone who is good at tracking.

(Y/n): Aura's beast can do it ju-

Ainz: Aura's beast are creating a perimeter around us whilst Sif and her pack scout the forest for us...beside we wouldn't be in this situation if it weren't for you.

Your helm splits revealing your confused expression your gaze leaving Sif

(Y/n): what do you mean?

Ainz: if you weren't so adamant in keeping Sif caged in the tomb she would've been perfect for watching over the village.

(Y/n): I don't keep her caged-

Ainz: the lizardmen city doesn't count, is Sif's purpose not to be a spy.

(Y/n): it is-

Ainz: exactly, your judgement is clouded by the views of a father...and I understand you fear losing her, but you must understand that what you are doing harms her more as you take that purpose away from her.

Your eyes widen at his words turning to Sif whose returned to her human form her ears folded against her head

Ainz: if Sif were the one at the village she would've notified us earlier about this supposed Giant and dealt with it accordingly, was this not what she did with the lizardmen city? did she not send reports about the city?

(Y/n): she did...

Ainz: then quit it, you may easily defeat Sif in duels, but have you lost a fight against the residents of this New World?

(Y/n): no...I haven't...

 Ainz: and neither will she, and if it's going to stay that way she needs to continue improving her skills by fulfilling her role as you designed her, and this is non-negotiable.

You grit your teeth looking away clenching your sword sighing closing your eyes

(Y/n): eh...fine, as you say Ainz...

He mentally smiles at himself, his first step in making sure he is a good parental figure a great success as he managed to defends Sif and allow her to grow as a person like he wanted

Though he starts getting worried as you start chuckling

Ainz: i-is something the matter?

(Y/n): your growing as a ruler, keep it up.

Ainz: ...thank you...Sif's located the Giant's lair join us as your already here, lead the way Aura.

She looks to you nodding your head signaling Fenrir forward leaving you with Sif who keeps avoiding your gaze

You raise your hand Sif winces closing her eyes at the movement relaxing when you grab the tip of her wolfen ears giving them a gentle rub leaning into your hand remembering your conversation during training

(Y/n): you wish to go to the Kingdom capital?

Sif: yes...

(Y/n): I'll consider it.
