Ainz has returned back to the Great Tomb of Nazarick, in the throne room on the tenth floor, Where Albedo is waiting for him.

Ainz: Report Albedo

Albedo: I am here to report that Shalltear Bloodfallen has betray us

Ainz: Master Source open

A list with all the NPC names appeared in front of Ainz for him to review and see what Albedo saw and Shalltear's name is seen colored red while the other names are just gray colored.

Ainz: I see, this is why you believed Shalltear betrayed us

Albedo: After we lost contact with her, I checked the Master Source and discovered this abnormality and the Vampire Brides that accompanied her have both perished.

Ainz: Is there a chance Shalltear has died as well?

Albedo: If that was the case, her name would have disappeared from the list, unfortunately that hasn't happened

Ainz goes into his thought that there was a possibility that she was under mind control, but the problem is Shalltear is undead and has a passive skill that nullifies all forms of mind control. Unless it's an artifact that was used to override mind control immunity. Remembering the times when Bukubukuchagama used to troll other players by nicking their NPCs into hot zones for prime ranking opportunities. If the old worlders have those types of artifacts. Then the safety of Nazarick is in great danger.

Ainz: From what we've gathered there are talents and martial arts in this world that did not exist in Yggdrasil, its possible she has fallen under the influence of one of them

Albedo: I do not know however it does not change the fact that she has revolted, I suggest we send a Hunting Party to deal with her, immediately!

Ainz could tell Albedo is quite serious with this request of her as the air in the throne room has changed quite seriously.To easily condemn one of their own shock him a little but only a little due to his racial ability activating to suppress the full desire to scream out no on condemning Peroroncino creations to certain death.

Albedo: I will lead our forces, Cocytus and Mare will accompany me as Vice Commanders, we will need that much to take Shalltear down, her strength is formidable

Ainz: No, I feel that would be too hasty, we must confirm whether she has revolted of her own free will or not.

Ainz thought for a moment. About how to shalltear could genuinely betray Nazarick. The odd's of a genuine betrayal is low and out of character. She is smarter than just going off into the forest and rebel without a plan. So it could only lead to one conclusion. A failed mind control operation.

Ainz: "If something like this can happen to the NPCs, we need to find out what it is and how to counter it or Nazarick will crumble"

He then looks over towards Albedo.

Ainz: If she betrayed us because she is displeased with me or our treatment of her, I will understand

Albedo: Displeased! if she truly thinks that you've been merciful to us, I won't allow her to live!

Albedo said in rage.

Ainz: Please Albedo, calm yourself, remember my old comrades created all of your personality, they made you with all of their hearts, that includes the bad qualities, as well as the good, you were made exactly as they wanted you, and I love all you for that, So if Shalltear has indeed betrayed me, she is simply following the path that Peroroncino laid out for her
