(How nice, but it's time to get back to work!) - thinking about this, I got up and broke the kiss, standing up straight.
Taking a deep breath, I said:
"Now! I will ask you two questions! Answer both honestly!" - I gave them a fierce and angry look to match my voice.
"YES, SIR!!!" - saying this, Sebas and the maids bowed their heads in unison.
"First, who am I to you and how do you see me?
The crowd looked up, puzzled, and looked at me resolutely. Sebas was the first to stand up and look me confidently in the eyes.
"Sir! You are the greatest and strongest to me! I believe that you can do anything, and your return is just another proof of your boundless power! To me, you are a great leader who does not forgive mistakes! And whose punishment is only one... eternal oblivion in boundless captivity of death!
Then Regina made up her mind. Standing up straight, she smiled mischievously and stared at me with shining yellow eyes:
"My lord! You are the greatest hunter to me!!! Command me to take aim and I will bring his torn carcass to your feet! Order me to throw myself into the flames, and I will jump with a smile, knowing that this is what my lord desires! You are to me... - here she blushed and, lowering her gaze, nervously tapped her foot on the floor, sighed and said quietly - ...my beloved...master, who brings death to your enemies, and I am your faithful hound!
Then Epsilon stood up, gathered herself... LITERALLY! Back into the image of a magnificent girl, she said:
"Master! You are everything to me!!! YOU ARE ABSOLUTE!!! YOU ARE PERFECTION!!! You... my provider, my... beloved... caring... beloved... master...
"Flashback"
Solution was sitting in the kitchen, and a little horned boy with little wings was feeding her with a spoon.
"Say A! Little sister Epsi!
"Aaa!!!" The girl opened her mouth wide and swallowed, carefully licking the spoon.
"Good girl, little sister!!! You have to eat, you're so beautiful!!! Beautiful girls need lots of energy! Oops! You've got some on you, wait, I'll clean it up!" With that, the boy approached the blue-eyed blonde and, wiping the remains of food from her lips, giggled, jumped off the chair and sat on Epsilon's lap.
"Sir, you're a little rascal! Now who am I going to tickle?" She slipped her fingers under his clothes and began to pinch and tickle the horned boy.
"HA-HA-HA!!! Little sister!!! TICKLY!!! HA-HA-HA-HA!!!
"You fed me, sir, so I have a lot of energy!!! And now I'm going to tickle and squeeze my beloved master all day long!!!" With a flash of blue in her eyes, Solyushn pressed the boy to her, wrapping her tentacles around him. "I won't give you to anyone, such a caring master!!!
"Sister Epsi!!! Can I ask you something?" asked the boy, looking hopefully into her blue eyes.
"Of course!!! Master, anything, absolutely anything!!! What do you want?!" she asked playfully.
"Tell me... will you always be here?
"Of course, how could I leave such a sweet boy without protection?
"And you won't disappear like my mum and dad?"
"Of course!!! I'll always be here!!!" She bent down and kissed the boy on the forehead. "Mmm... you're delicious, sir! I could just eat you up! But I won't, because then I'd be here all alone without you. So I'll just lick you instead!!!
"EPSI!!! STOP!!!
"NO!!! I'm cleaning you of bacteria!!! Lick-lick... mmm... lick-lick... you taste so good... lick-lick...
"Flashback OFF"
Next up was Yuri Alpha.
"Sir! You were, are, and will always be my ideal! My eternal source of strength! My great master!
(That came out a bit short, strange... I guess I wasn't on good terms with her, or just didn't develop the relationship, damn, that's bad, I'll have to work on that, otherwise I'd like to learn close combat from her).
Then Delta said:
"You are my favourite little brother. My shield that protects me while I punch holes in my enemies' heads. You are my goal and reason for existence, everything else is just obstacles and targets. To me, you are a sweetheart who needs to be hugged.
(Fuck you, are you serious?!)
Then ENTOMA VASILISA ZETA stood up.
(Fuck a horse in the face with a bend!!! Please don't eat me!!!)
"Sir! You are the most desirable dish and the juiciest piece of meat! With such a magnificent smell and pleasant aroma, I simply dare not wish for anything more than you! You are the greatest reward I dare not ask for! Give me your enemies and they will know fear!
(Now I know fear!!! *FUCK YOU!!! THIS IS A STAR!!!)
And last, with eyes full of adoration and traces of tears, Narberal Gamma stood up:
"M-m-my lord! You are to me... - here she fell silent and, taking a deep breath, cried out. - THE MAN I WANT MORE THAN ANYTHING!!! AND THE MAN I LOVE MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THE WORLD!!! YOU ARE MY BELOVED SIR!!!
(What a confession!!! She's got balls!!!) - Okay, stop, I need to keep my cool, calm down, let's continue.
"Well...," I said slowly and gloomily. "Then I will be what you think I am, I will remember that. Now for the second question! My desire and goal is to revive the great tomb of Nazarik, I want to raise it to the top and destroy all competitors and those who are not worthy! YOU WILL FOLLOW ME! YOU WILL GO WITH ME ALL THE WAY!
"YES!!!" - a chorus of voices rang out in unison.
"EVEN TO DEATH?!"
"TO DEATH!!!
"TO DEATH?!
"TO DEATH!!!
"DEATH!!!
"DEATH!!!
"THEN FROM NOW ON, YOU AND I ARE THE AINZ-AL-NAZARIK CLAN!!! HEIRS OF THE GREAT AINZ OAL GOONA!!! AND MY NAME IS ARDEN!!!
"LONG LIVE LORD ARDEN!!!" With that, the maids and butler bowed.
At that moment, the entire building shook to its foundations, and the broken throne that once belonged to Lord Ainz joined together and transformed... as if spreading its wings, it was reborn...[You have completed the optional hidden quest "In the eternal flame, we shall rise again."]
[You have received the reward, the heart of the tomb. Now, when you are about to die, the tomb will immediately transport you to itself, where you will be quickly restored. You have received the title "Lord Reborn."]
[You have accepted the optional quest "Restoring Former Glory."]
[Task: Restore the glory and strengthen your citadel]
[Reward: (unknown)]
[You have created a new clan, "AINTS-AL-NAZARIK."]
[You have accepted the optional quest "Discover my power"]
[Task: declare your clan and prove its power by making it feared]
[Reward: increased influence in the world]
(I have a lot of work to do), I thought, sitting down on the throne.
