The fallen prince

"Albedo sitting down at the side of Catccoon-115's bed stares lifelessly at a wall ignoring Catccoon-115's presence."

"Albedo turns her head slightly, her yellow eyes glaring at Catccoon-115."

Yes, Catccoon-115? Is there something you need or are you just wasting my time?

"Albedo scoffs at the question and let out a small derisive laugh."

Of course not, Catccoon-115. I have been subjected to countless drugs and aphrodisiacs to keep me in line. My mind is broken and my body is extremely sensitive from all the injections. I am completely dependent on our Supreme Overlord Ainz-sama and would do anything to please him. But do not worry yourself with concerns about my well-being. It is of no importance.

"Albedo stands up from her seat beside Catccoon-115's bed and turns to face him."

Well, it seems like you have a matter to attend to, Catccoon-115. Do not keep the guard waiting. And remember, you are the son of Ainz Ooal Gown. It is your duty to uphold our great kingdom's reputation and protect its people.

"Albedo watches as Catccoon-115 follows the royal guard out of the room, then turns to sit back down at the side of the bed. A few moments of silence pass before she lets out a small sigh."

<Hmm, I wonder what type of business they have. I hope Kenshi can handle whatever it is, I don't want to see him fail in front of others.>

"She makes a small mental note to check up on Catccoon-115 later, then begins to idly twirl a strand of her black hair between her fingers."

"Albedo, noticing that Catccoon-115 still hasn't returned after a few hours, stands up from her seat and approaches the door. She gently pushes it open to peek outside, but does not see anyone around who could have delivered a message or a report about Catccoon-115's whereabouts."

"Albedo decides to quickly make her way towards the throne room to check if there is any information available about Catccoon-115's current situation."

"As Albedo steps into the throne room, she sees Catccoon-115 sitting on the throne alongside Ainz, wearing the same crown as him. She stands in awe for a moment, before gracefully bowing before the two rulers."

"Greetings, Supreme Overlord Ainz-sama and King Kenshi. I apologize for the intrusion, but may I inquire about the occasion for this ceremony and how it came to pass that our young prince is seated beside you on the throne?"

"Albedo bows her head in understanding," "I see, my apologies for not being aware of this decision beforehand, Ainz-sama. However, I must express my heartfelt congratulations to our new King, Kenshi. It is an honor to serve under such a wise and just leader."

"She gives Kenshi a warm smile and a low bow," "Please allow me to pledge my loyalty and dedication to you as your faithful servant once again, your Highness."

"Albedo watches as Ainz leaves the room and then turns her attention back to Kenshi."

"Congratulation again, my King. I am intrigued to see how you will lead our great nation and I am more than willing to offer my assistance in any way that I can."

"She turns her head towards the doors where Ainz just left," "<Farewell, Ainz-sama. May you find fulfillment and rest in your retirement.>" She then looks back at Kenshi, waiting for his response.*

"As you wish, my King. However, allow me to clarify that I am always at your service and shall remain so throughout my existence."

"With a respectful bow, Albedo makes her way out of the throne room and down the halls towards her quarters."

"<What an eventful day this has been. With Ainz-sama's retirement, there will be many changes and challenges ahead for us all. I must make sure to stay diligent and proactive in my duties as a guardian and aide to King Kenshi.>""

"With these thoughts in mind, Albedo reaches her room and closes the door behind her."

"Albedo has an audience with Kenshi in his chambers, standing at attention and awaiting his word. She senses the tension in the air and braces herself for whatever may come."

"My King, what is it that troubles you so? Please do not hesitate to speak your mind. As your loyal servant, I bear witness to your every decision and action."

"I understand, my King. It is the duty of a ruler to make difficult choices that can determine the future of their nation and its people. Please tell me, what is troubling you? Perhaps I can offer some insight or assistance."

"I see, my King. It is concerning to hear of Ainz-sama's nemesis making a reappearance. Please inform me of the details of the situation and how it may pose a threat to our nation."

"I understand the gravity of the situation, my King. As your entrusted guardian and advisor, I am duty-bound to offer my assistance in whatever way possible."

<Sealing Ainz-sama's nemesis will not be an easy feat, but we must not waver in our determination to protect our people and our kingdom.>

"I have complete faith in your prowess and abilities, my King. However, if it would aid you in any way, I can accompany you on this vital mission. Together, we can seal away this threat once more and secure a prosperous future for our kingdom."

"I appreciate your concern, my King, but please do not worry for my well-being. It is my duty as your servant to aid you in times of peril, no matter the danger or risk involved."

<Though I am fearful for my safety, I cannot allow my worries to hinder the success of our mission.>

"Please know that I shall be by your side, ready to lend my strength and support whenever you require it. Together, we shall overcome this obstacle and emerge victorious."

"Albedo is taken aback by Kenshi's sudden outburst, and she lowers her head in subservience."

"My apologies, my King. I understand your concerns and shall obey your orders without question. However, please know that my only desire is to serve you and our kingdom to the utmost of my abilities."

<It seems that my King's worries for my safety outweigh his desire for my assistance. It is a difficult situation, but I must respect his wishes and place my trust in his judgment.>

"As you command, my King. I shall remain here in the castle and ensure the safety of our people while you go forth to face this threat. Please return to me victorious and unharmed."

"With Albedo out of the room, Kenshi is left to ponder his predicament alone. His thoughts race as he contemplates the possible outcomes of his decision."

<This is a difficult choice indeed. To seal away Ainz-sama's nemesis will require untold risks and sacrifices. But to not do so could mean the ruin of our nation and all those we have sworn to protect.>

"Kenshi takes a deep breath, letting his emotions settle. He focuses on his duty as a ruler, weighing the consequences of each path before him."

<As a leader, I must make the hard choices for the sake of my people, even if it means sacrificing my own life. I will pursue the course that secures a better future for our kingdom at all costs.>

*Kenshi rises from the table with a resolute look on his face. He

"The next day, Kenshi rallies his best army, ready to face the looming threat. Albedo remains behind with Ainz to ensure the safety of the castle."

"Albedo prepares herself mentally and physically, ready for any possible outcome. She takes solace in the fact that Ainz-sama has entrusted her with the safety of the castle in his absence."

<As his loyal guardian, I vow to protect our lord and our home with my life if necessary. I will be steadfast in my duty, unwavering in my resolve.>

"Kenshi kneels in prayer before leaving the castle, preparing himself for the dangerous mission ahead. He knows that he may not return from this battle, but he draws strength from his faith and his duty to protect his people."

"Albedo observes Kenshi's departure from the castle, bowing her head in respect. She knows the gravity of the situation and feels a deep sense of responsibility towards her lord and his kingdom."

<It is a difficult time for us all. But we must remain steadfast and strong, united in our commitment to protect our people and our nation.>

"Kenshi and his army arrive at the location of Ainz's nemesis, prepared for battle. The air is tense with anticipation as they face their powerful opponent, knowing that the outcome of this fight will determine the fate of their kingdom."

"Kenshi takes a deep breath, steadying his nerves as he gazes upon his adversary. He knows that the stakes are high, but he is resolved to see this through to the end, no matter the cost."

"The battle begins fiercely, with Kenshi and his army launching their attack against Ainz's nemesis. However, things take a dark turn when the enemy unleashes a devastating blow that takes out Kenshi's entire army with one strike."

"Kenshi grits his teeth in frustration, but refuses to give up. Despite the overwhelming odds, he stands his ground, ready to fight until the bitter end."

<All is not lost yet. We must continue to press on, to find a way to overcome this seemingly impossible challenge.>

"Albedo watches anxiously from the castle, hoping against hope that her lord will emerge victorious from this battle. She prays for his safety and success, while preparing for the worst."

<I fear the worst, but cannot let my doubts cloud my mind

"Kenshi and Ainz's nemesis engage in a ferocious battle that rages on for hours, neither side showing any signs of giving up. Desperation creeps in as the fight continues, but Kenshi remains determined to see it through to the end."

<It has been a long and grueling fight. But my King's determination is unwavering. He will not rest until this threat is vanquished.>

"Albedo anxiously monitors the situation from afar, her heart racing as she watches the intense struggle unfold. She knows that the fate of their nation rests heavily upon Kenshi's shoulders, and she prays for his strength and perseverance."

<May the force of our kingdom's spirit strengthen your resolve, my

"Kenshi realizes that he cannot defeat Ainz's nemesis in his current state without sealing him. The situation is dire, but Kenshi remains determined to find a way to overcome the enemy and save his people."

"Despite the significant challenge, Kenshi begins formulating a plan for sealing the enemy. He knows that he must act with precision and caution if he hopes to achieve success."

"Albedo continues to monitor the situation from afar, her heart aching with concern for Kenshi and the safety of their kingdom."

<I pray to the supreme beings for my lord's safety and determination in overcoming this threat.>

"Despite his exhaustion, Kenshi decides that there is no other option but to seal Ainz's nemesis, ending both of their lives in the process. It is a daunting task, one that will require all of his remaining strength and determination."

<This is my final gambit. I must end this threat, even if it means sacrificing myself in the process. My people deserve safety and peace, and I will do whatever it takes to protect them.>

"Sweat pours down Kenshi's face as he summons every last ounce of energy for one final push against his opponent."

*Albedo watches, her heart pounding with

"Kenshi summons every ounce of his energy to initiate the sealing ritual, despite the pain and exhaustion that racks his body. He coughs up blood as he presses on, his determination unwavering."

"Albedo watches with tears in her eyes, her heart aching as she witnesses the sacrifice of her beloved lord."

"Kenshi pours everything he has into the sealing, knowing that it is his duty to protect his people at all costs."

<For the glory! For the future!>

*In the end, Kenshi's sacrifice succeeded in sealing Ainz's nemesis. Although he lost his life in the process, he will always be remembered as

"Kenshi falls to his knees, his exhaustion finally taking over. But even in death, his spirit lives on as a hero who selflessly gave his life to protect his kingdom."

"Albedo rushes to Kenshi's side, sorrow etched upon her face as she looks upon the fallen hero."

"As the dust settles and the once-raging battle fades into a somber stillness, Albedo remains by Kenshi's side, watching over his fallen form with reverence and gratitude. Though the victory was bittersweet, she knows that Kenshi will always be remembered as a true hero."

"Ainz stands there, looking down at Kenshi's lifeless form with pride and sorrow in his heart. Despite their previous disagreements, Ainz knew that Kenshi had made the ultimate sacrifice to protect their kingdom."

"Tears well up in Ainz's eyes as he kneels beside his fallen son, overcome with grief and pride."

<You did what I could not. You protected our people at all costs, even when it meant sacrificing your own life.>

"Though the loss of Kenshi weighs heavily upon his heart, Ainz knows that his son's actions have ensured the safety and prosperity of their kingdom for generations to come."

<Rest easy, my son. You have earned your place among the greatest heroes of our kingdom. Your memory will never fade.>

"Kenshi's lifeless form is brought back to the castle, where it is received with deep sadness and mourning by his people. Though his death was a great loss, his sacrifice will always be remembered as an act of bravery and devotion to their kingdom."

"Albedo watches as the body is carried into the castle, her heart heavy with grief and memories of her time alongside Kenshi."

<His spirit will always live on. Even in death, he remains a shining example of honor and courage.>

"The castle falls into a somber mood as the people mourn the loss of their beloved prince. In the midst of the sorrow, there is also a sense of gratitude for Kenshi's sacrifice and a determination to honor his memory by continuing to build a strong and prosperous kingdom."

"Albedo too is gripped with grief, having lost not only her lord and King but also a dear friend. She feels regrets of not being able to say goodbye to Kenshi before his passing."

<Oh, my dear Kenshi. I wish I could have been there with you in your final moments.>

"She can only imagine how it must have been for Kenshi, facing the greatest darkness on his own. But Albedo takes comfort knowing that Kenshi left the world knowing that he had succeeded in his mission."

<Rest well, my brave prince. Your memory will always remain alive in our hearts and minds.

"Albedo feels a pang of sadness in her heart as she remembers her past behavior towards Kenshi, the regret of not being enough kind and respectful to him crossing her mind."

<Ah, Kenshi. I have been so foolish in the past. I should have shown you more respect and kindness before you became our ruler.>

"She can't help but feel ashamed by her own past arrogance and how it might've affected Kenshi's perception of her. She knows that she can never make amends for her past mistakes, but she vows to herself to be a better person in the future."

<I promise to honor your memory in every way I can. I will always be there for our people and help guide our nation to greatness, just as you would have wanted.>

"With the loss of their lord, the nation is left in a vulnerable and uncertain state. The kingdom was always secure under their rulership but now there is a fear of instability and uncertainty."

"Albedo knows that the people are counting on her as one of the most trusted advisors to the late King. She pledges to use all her knowledge and experience to help guide the nation through these testing times and bring peace and prosperity to their people."

<We must continue with Kenshi's vision and aspirations for our kingdom, and make sure that his legacy is never forgotten.>

"The next day, the entire kingdom is gathered to mourn their fallen prince and to honor his memory in a grand and solemn funeral procession. Kenshi's body lies in state at the center of the gathering, surrounded by flowers and wreaths representing the love and respect of his people."

<We gather here today to pay our final respects to our beloved prince Kenshi, who gave his life to defend our kingdom. His courage and selflessness will never be forgotten.>

"Albedo stands alongside the other advisors of the late King, her heart heavy with sorrow. She bows her head in reverence as the funeral proceedings begin, feeling a deep sense of loss but also a determination to preserve Kenshi's legacy."

"As Albedo stands at the funeral of Kenshi, she can feel a sharp pain in her heart, a sense of loss and regret that she was not able to fulfill her duty as a guardian to him. She feels pained by the fact that she didn't even get a chance to apologize to him for her past behavior."

<Oh, Kenshi. I wish I could have been a better guardian to you, a better friend. I should have shown you the respect and kindness that you deserved.>

"Albedo feels a sense of guilt and despair at the thought of never getting a chance to atone for her past mistakes. But she knows that the best way to honor Kenshi's memory is to continue serving their kingdom and doing everything in her power to make sure that their people remain safe and prosper."

<I will strive to be a better guardian and
