Ainz: "All that's left is to begin Shalltear's resurrection."

Ainz spoke at the foot of his throne within the tenth floor do the great tomb. Just beside stood Albedo as she monitored Shalltears condition. While the vampire may be dead, Ainz still can monitor their status to ensure he can resurrect them should they need to.

At the bottom of the steps leading to the throne were the rest of the floor guardians. Demiurge, Cocytus, Aura, and finally Mare. Further behind them was a massive like of gold and wealth. All accumulated to perform the resurrection.

Ainz: "Albedo, I need you to watch her name while I perform the ritual. If she is still mind-controlled once she is revived, I may have to do the unspeakable."

Demiurge: "Do not worry about that, my lord. If that does come to pass we will be the ones to take care of her."

Albedo: "If Shalltear continues to revolt against Nazarick then the Guardians of Nazarick should deal with her."

Ainz: "*sigh* I understand. Then if that happens, I will let you deal with it, my Guardians." The floor guardians nod as the sound of a yawn breaks the moment.

Markov: "Save the tender moments for when this is over with. If the vampire continues to misbehave I will deal with it just as I did before. If you'd like, I can have her rip her own heart out as a token of her loyalty." He says as he sits on one of the steps leading to the throne.

Ainz: "That...will not be necessary, Markov."

Aura: "Are you sure it's a good idea to have him here? Shalltear was rather angry at him she may end up going berserk even if she remains loyal to you, Lord Ainz."

Markov: "Is that her being upset or you Aura, I cannot tell. But in any case, I will fight you both if the need arises."

Ainz: "Markov! I would be grateful if you did not cause trouble within my home. You are here because I held up my end of the deal. I expect you to honor the trust I am putting in you by letting you in here." Markov sighs as he waves his hand to allow them to continue the ritual.

Ainz proceeded to cast the Resurrection spell. Holding up his staff a wave of energy washed over the room. The piles of gold begin to turn into a liquid that quickly condenses into a human shape. Finally, once all is said and done Shalltear appears unconscious at the foot of the throne.

Ainz: "Albedo?"

Albedo: "Be at ease, my lord. It would seem she is free of the mind control."

Ainz steps down toward Shalltear as he pulls a black cloth blanket from a small pocket space. Throwing over Shalltear as the resurrection left her with no clothing.

Ainz: "Shalltear? Are you awake?" As he says this Shalltear seems to stir from her slumber as she looks around finally spotting Ainz.

Shalltear: "Is that you, lord?" Ainz leans down and slowly picks up Shalltear.

Ainz: "Thank goodness. I'm sorry, Shalltear. This was all because of my mistake."

Shalltear: "No, please, Lord. I'm not sure what's going on here, but being in your arms couldn't possibly be a mistake. So this is where my first time will be." Ainz seems to be caught off guard by her "forward" approach.

Albedo: "Excuse her, Lord. I believe Shalltear is still out of it."

Ainz: "You, must be tired. We will go over the details later." Rising to his feet as Shalltear sits on the ground.
