Overlord The Son of Death

Weeding an Evil Tree

Filius, Naberal, CZ, and Pinison all walked deeper into the forest, as they walked they conversed to pass the time. 

"I forgot to ask, but why have you people come to this forest", Pinison asked Filius in a direct manner. 

Her way of asking made Naberal angry, "Watch your tone creature, as a subordinate of Nazarick you must remember to be mindful of how you speak to your masters. Be ready to be educated in the formal manner of speaking."

Pinison jolted at Naberal's harsh words she then stood up straight and nodded, "Understood miss!"

Filius saw Pinison's scared appearance which made him smile. He nodded and approved of Naberal's instructing words towards Pinison, as a new servant, Pinison would have to learn proper etiquette when speaking to him. 

"Regarding your question from before", Filius said, "We came here looking for unique herbs, herbs that could heal or cure poisons or venoms."

"A special herb?", Pinison thought a bit, "I don't think there is a herb like..." She then realized that there actually was a herb as he specified. 

 Pinison then walked in front of Filius, "Actually, there might be one place where you can get that herb, but...." She turned around and looked deeper into the forest. 

Filius quickly connected the dots, the unique herb he was looking for was located somewhere deeper in the forest which meant it was somewhere closer to the Evil Tree. 

Pinison nodded, "Yeah, you're right."

"It appears we will have to confront this monster, Lord Filius", Naberal said. 

Just before Filius could correct her on how to call him CZ stepped in.

CZ looked at her sister, "Big sis, why are you calling him Lord Filius when he's already asked to call him by the name of Filius-sama."

Naberal blushed, she tried not to look flustered, "I know, but as a proper servant, I must act respectfully toward him, especially when in front of others."

Filius had already spoken to them privately the night before about how to address him. He wanted his fiances to call him by name, but some seemed a little reluctant to do so. Their reasoning was that he was still the Master of the house (well second but you know what he means), therefore they couldn't just speak with him without referring to him in a formal manner. They were enamored when he chose them as his future brides and they liked the flirting he did, but they still wanted to have a respectful    

Pinison wondered who they were talking about, not knowing that they were talking about her.

Filius noticed the withering getting, even more, worse than before as they progressed, he stopped after seeing Pinison standing still. 

"The evil tree is at the center of this place", Pinison stated. 

"Understood", Filius turned to his fiances, "Cz, I want you to go and remove Pinison's tree from the roots gently and carefully if you need help, ask Aureole to assist you." 

Cz nodded with a bow, "Understood Filius-sama."

"Pinison, please show them where your tree is, you can also tell them how to carefully pull you out", Filius said. 

Pinision nodded,  "Understood Lord."

Naberal smiled seeing the tree creature showing the proper respect seems her actions worked. 

Filius turned to Naberal, "Naberal send a communication link to Entoma and tell her to search for any unique herbs in a perimeter around the camp, tell her to use ask Ninya and Dyne as herb collectors since they are the ones with knowledge of common and uncommon herbs. once your done, be on standby and guard me from afar, I will be facing the Evil Tree alone."
