Your Name

"S-sir... What is..." Seems the oldest was trying to talk, although the fairy was unsure who between himself and Momonga she was trying to talk to. Turns out, both. "Sirs, what are your names ?"

A funny question to ask to a fairy. The servant however waited for his lord to answer first, if he wished to, if he does then, he will follow. It could be a good thing to reveal themself, or this could be a trap, they could be observed and revealing their name will put them in trouble, who knows. Overthinking everything makes you not a genius, simply a anxious fool.

... Nothing ? Oh, he was looked at, so he wants him to present himself first. Alright, it's his duty as his subordonnate and one of his guardian to bite that bullet first.

"My name is Falthène, little one. May i have you-"

"Falthène."

Oops, **** of habits. She should be twice as thankfull to the overlord, that girl, the fairy almost made her his eternal **** by mistake.

"Sorry about that, forget it young lady."

The mage nodded, good he didn't anger his lord with his mistake. It was not thoughtfull of him to do something like that to someone whose life seemed to have value in the eyes of his liege, he better be more carefull next time, or he won't hear the end of it, moreso when Albedo is a direct witness.

"As for me, be honored to hear it. My name is... Ainz Ooal Gown."

There was a bit of a pause from the guardian and the regeant, but as their lord started moving, they followed him. Ainz Ooal Gown was the name of the guild, and if Falthène understood easily why giving a false name, even if he does not do it often, taking this name was not something mundain. The screams of the **** knight's victims grew more distant, but the fairy couldn't tell you if it wasn't just him being deep in thought or the conflict going farther in the devasted village. Until his name was called, bringing him back to reality.

"Falthène, i didn't get the chance to ask you. Did you do what i asked of you ?"

"What you... Oh, that my lord ? Should i talk about it in front of Albedo ?"

Amongst all his work to do, the fairy also received an additionnal order from the overlord, once he was back at the library and over [message], a bit after Shalltear left with a dozen erotic books to indulge herself with. A top secret order as was put by the monarch, so much that even Albedo could not be put in the confidence. He was to reveal the result of this order only once the overlord was truly alone if it ever failed, and, well...

"I'm sorry, my lord. I tried dozen of times for each, but it seems the supreme beings were out of grasp of my book of reality. It could be because they hold a world it-"

"No. Their equipement was left in my care when they... They..."

It didn't take a genius like Albedo to understand what Falthène tried to do. With the power to alter reality, Falthène tried to bring back the supreme being from the plane they went to when they abandonned the guild, and failed. Nor did it take someone capable to read the expressions of an undead to see that their god was stricken with grief, although briefly, before putting himself back together seemingly magicaly.

"It was worth trying, lord Mom- Lord Ainz Ooal Gown, maybe they are somewhere where the magic of a world item can't reach them."

"Albedo is right, as powerfull as a world item is, they are not almighty."

"Yours might as well be, Falthène. But i thank you for your consideration, you too, Albedo. I simply must face it, my old friends are not here, i am alone in this world now."

"No you are not !" The shout came from both of them, so simultaneously for once, even thought there often was tensions between the two, it seemed on that case, they were seing eye to eye. Albedo started, quickly followed by the fairy.

"All of Nazarick is here for you lord Ainz Ooal Gown, guardians, zone keeper, servants, we all will dedicate our life to drown this feeling of loneliness if you let us."

"You our kind creator who never left us, i beg of you please never say such thing again ! If something needs to be changed for us to be valued as companions, or even fleeting entertainement in your eyes, please tell me what it is, i will change it in a breath. This world, every world should bend and break to allow a magnanime soul as yours to feel happyness and bliss !"

"Just say it, for my beloved, i would gladly cease to be myself for you to feel better."

"Stop it." the order was cold, direct, comming from a place of anger that stunned the two guardians in place. What did they say that wasn't to his taste, will he leave them now that they angered them ? Giving themself the capital sentence for such a disaster would not be enough to pay their debt is such was true. As pressure and anxiety rose within two of the smartest npcs of Nazarick, it all died down when they felt the squeletic and warm embrace of Momonga squeeze the both of them.

"Albedo, Falthène, never say that you will change who you are so drastically for me. You can grow, devellop, mature, but do not kill "yourselves", for that would mean the memory of my comrades deep within you would die too. You are all i have left of them, you are too precious for me to disappear, do you understand ?"

Tears, as crying was all the both of them could do in front of the care of their lord.

"We don't want you to leave, lord Ainz Ooal Gown !"

"Please, don't abandon us too !"

"I won't. As of today, i accept that my comrades are gone, and to honor their memories, will now call myself Ainz Ooal Gown. This name represent all 41 Suprem Beings, all 40 of my old friends. It holds too much responsability for me to abandon it. My children, are you okay with it ?"

"Y-Yes lord Ainz Ooal Gown ! There is no other name more suited for you, the last and greatest Supreme being, my dear beloved !"

"You built Ainz Ooal Gown with the supreme beings, and kept it running once they left, it is only your divine right to now finaly claim it all as yours, lord Ainz Ooal Gown."

A roar echoed in the distance, it seems the **** knight was almost done. Ainz squeezed them both one last time, before standing up and picking up a mask from his inventory. Red and devil-like.

"Then it's decided. Albedo, Falthène, let's teach this world the glory of Ainz Ooal Gown and of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, as an ultimate hoora for my departed friends."

"Yes, my lord !"
