"Aura. Mare. This is where we part ways. Scout the area for enemies as soon as we do. Understood?"Ainz said to the twins, my form leaning against a tree away from them. I was scared to talk to the guardians, knowing they now knew I'm a Supreme Being.
"But, if you find yourself outnumbered by even the smallest degree, retreat to Nazarick at once."Ainz ordered, Aura narrowing her eyes before bowing her head.

"Understood, Lord Ainz"

"We will do as you command." Both of them said, Ainz's body turning away from them.

"Excellent. See that you do. Remember, your retreat is an important part of my overall plan. Also, the Depiction of Nature and Society and Avarice and Selfless are work class items, treasured by Nazarick."Ainz explained, looking back at them.
"They must never be taken from us. Depending on the situation, they are more important than your lives."He ended, both of them agreeing. I sighed, standing straight as I watched Aura walk away from Ainz to join Mara, both dark elves disappearing after Aura looked at me. I stared at Ainz, slowly walking over to him where he took my shaking hands.

"I'm sorry but I had to see you off."I apologized, Ainz shaking his head.

"That's good cause I get to tell you what I couldn't before."He said, reaching a hand towards my masked cheek. Immediately I made my mask disappear, leaning into his touch.

"I think I know what you were gonna say, my Lord."I said, him nodding slowly as we stood there for a few seconds in silence. Ainz leaned his head against mine, caressing my face.

"Then you know how painful it is for me to leave you like this."He stated, making me smile.

"You say that like you're not coming back."I quietly noted, him humming in agreement.

"You're right, how silly of me."He softly said, making me push myself to touch his face.

"Ainz, I care for you, more than I thought I did. If we never got stuck in this game I'm sure I'd still feel this way for you."I began, looking him dead in the eyes as mine teared up.
"My Lord, I love you and will always love you."I smiled, kissing his teeth. Without hesitation he pulled me into his arms, pushing his face against mine in an attempt at kissing me back. We both separated, him burying his head against my shoulder.

"I was supposed to tell you that."Ainz quietly said, making me chuckle.

"Why don't you tell me that when you come back to me."I said, him lifting his head to look at me.

"Of course."He said, touching my forehead with his teeth before letting me go. I watched him walk away, turning to teleport back to Nazarick. I put my mask back on, taking a second to catch my bearings before walking in. Inside the room were Cocytus, Albedo, and Demiurge. I stopped at seeing Demiurge's angry face turn to him, the look of surprise showing on his face.

"Greeting, Lady Zailrin."Albedo stood, bowing towards me as I nodded. Cocytus only bowed his head, steam shooting out of his nostril.

"WELCOME, LADY ZAILRIN."He joined, making me smile slightly as my fears slightly went away.

"I'm sorry I'm late. I wanted to see Ainz off before coming here."I honestly said, hesitating as I sat next to Demiurge. As much as I'm sure that the residents of the Great Tomb of Nazarick will accept me, I care about Demiurge's thoughts on the news. He looked at me, almost as if he was hurt which made me stiffen.
