Aware of the Emperor's guards' proximity, they ceased their camp guard duties. In its place, a towering fortress materialized, a product of Ainz's spell, 「Create Fortress」.

Each of them was assigned a room within the tower. Zesshi was given a larger room near the Emperor's quarters. Apollo and Shanna also positioned themselves close to the Emperor's room, prioritizing his safety and commands.

「Message: Can you and Shanna come to my room」 The Emperor's deep voice echoed in Apollo's mind.

Rising from his bed, Apollo responded, 「We will be there, your grace」. Shanna, fresh from her bath, asked, "What is it, my love?"

"The Emperor has invited us to his quarters."

"Perhaps the interrogation of our past captivity is not enough," she joked, grateful that the memories she remembered in the interrogation were vague.

"Regardless, we must go there and speak the truth," he said, taking her hand as she finished brushing her hair. They exited their room and walked to the Emperor's quarters, knocking on the door.

The room, spacious yet simple, opened to them. It was furnished with couches and wooden chairs, with the bed positioned near the window. The Emperor sat on one of the couches, sipping a beverage, possibly tea.

"Your grace, why do you summon us?" Apollo inquired as they knelt before him.

"When only you and your Black Scriptures are present, you may dispense with the formalities. Now, rise and sit. Feel free to partake in the tea in front of you." The Emperor said as he regally waved his hand.

They rose and took their seats on the couch opposite him. Shanna poured tea for both of them from the table.

"Now that you two are here, I have some questions." The Emperor did not beat around the bush.

Their hearts pounded in anticipation. Would they be asked to sacrifice their daughter as proof of loyalty? Or betray the Scriptures to save their lives?

"How did you become parents to your daughter?"

Their thoughts synchronized in surprise. 'Ha?' This question was unexpected, far more shocking than what they had anticipated. They exchanged glances, and Shanna turned to the Emperor and replied,

"We taught her what is right and wrong."

"And how the world operates, survival of the fittest." Apollo continued as Shanna said another

"We educated her in more than just combat-fishing, gardening, painting, writing, and reading."

"We also allowed her to explore the world, but not too far or too deep."

"If I may ask without disrespect, why do you inquire?" Shanna asked, curiosity etched on her face.

"I have a son, Pandora's Actor. I created him, and his... antics, which I admit are embarrassing. But he is still my first creation. I have adopted sons, Michael and Lucifer, and an adopted daughter, Uriel, whom I will announce along with other matters after this conflict," the Emperor leaned back and continued, "Though I see my adopted sons as useful... allies."
