I went to wander off, but Ainz picked me up. 'No! You are staying beside me!' He shouted in his mind as he sat on his throne and put me in his lap. "If you need any form of entertainment Aria, just ask."

"I would love to!" Cocytus raised up his hand.

"No, me!" Shalltear added.

"I think I-" Albedo went to add.

"Now, surely you didn't just call me back to deal with Cygnaeus?" Ainz asked.

"Yes, you are correct. I thought we would have to make a drastic change of plans if someone was using the fool of a noble for their own agenda." Alebdo explained. "I decided it would be best to ask for your opinion, Lord Ainz."

"Hm." Ainz nodded. "How much have you explained about the Sweet and Aria plan to Aura and the others?"

"...When did I become part of the plan?" I mumbled.

"It's just named after a habit of yours," Ainz explained. 'That's all I know about the plan.' He informed me in his mind.

"I'm sorry it hasn't become a plan to live up to your name! And especially to the wonderfulness of sweets!" Albedo exclaimed. "And not everyone knows."

"Then share the information with everyone here," Ainz stated. 'I want to hear of it too.' He admitted in his mind.

"Understood." Albedo bowed.

"Everyone should feel free to voice their opinions," Ainz reassured them well more like begged for their help in case it's complicated again.

"Operation Sweet and Aria, named by Lord Ainz, explains our plans to take over the Kingdom in its very name," Albedo explained. "And to create a true Fairy Tale, that Lady Aria so dearly wants."

"Huh?" I let out.

Ainz stared down at me wondering if I talked about this earlier before he even caught on to it. "Really? Then the evil guy wins this time!" I excitedly exclaimed nearly falling out of his lap from how enthusiastic I was.

"Of course!" Albedo grinned from seeing how excited I was. "We will even have a book made for you! It will be spread across the land! We plan to incite a civil war and peacefully absorb the citizens of the Kingdom."

"Well, this idea was originally suggested by a certain individual from the Kingdom," Demiurge smirked. "But it isn't very Fairy Tale like...what storylines do you like Lady Aria?"

"Dragon!" I yelled.

'Of course.' Ainz thought as he saw Demiurge note that down in a small notepad.

"Then there needs to be a Princess! A shiny stupid hero who tries to save her! Then an evil overlord, but is actually a great guy! Dad!" I exclaimed.

'Oh no.' Ainz's mind let out knowing he's going to get pulled into this since only he can fulfil that role.

"We will make all the modifications we need now to the plan," Albedo reassured me. "The key to this plan was supposed to be the foolish noble who caused the current problem..."

'Huh? What's the problem? Aren't things going according to plan?' Ainz asked in his mind.

"I think it is that must be why Hilma was there just now, but I don't know what went wrong," I whispered to him.

Shalltear held up her hand. "What is it, Shalltear?" Albedo hummed.

"What, exactly, is the problem?" She asked for us. "Didn't the little fool start the needed trouble without any effort on our part?"

'Good job asking, Shalltear!' Ainz praised her in his mind since she would freak otherwise and try to become a lamp and a toilet at the same time.

"The people's dissatisfaction with the current Kingdom was supposed to incite a rebellion," Albedo explained. "I can't believe the nobles decided to challenge the Sorcerer Kingdom instead..."
