The sky was a beautiful clear blue with very few clouds. Astra stretched her arms out and took a deep breath to enjoy the fresh air.

Their group was currently on their trip to Carne Village while being bodyguards for Nphirea. Right now, though, they were taking a small break by a river so the horse Nphirea was using could get a drink.

"Enjoy this." Peter told them. "Things will get a little dangerous from here on out."

"Don't worry about us. We'll be careful." Astra waved him off as she leaned against a rock.

<Yah, we'll have to be.> Ainz spoke through [Message]. <Considering neither of us can use most of our magic while in our armor.>

Astra agreed. <When I designed my avatar, I knew being a warrior wouldn't suit her. Plus, I was never confident enough to do close combat.>

< Well, if things start to get out of hand Narberal will use fifth tier magic. I'm not sure what we'll be facing, but hopefully, that will be enough.>

<If not, we might have to get serious.>

"Try not to look so worried ladies. Everything will be fine as long as I'm here." Lukrut flirted. "I'm the best set of eyes and ears this side of the Re-Estize Kingdom. Don't be shy. You can praise me."

Narberal glared at him. "Can I squash him yet?" She asked her Supreme Beings.

Astra crossed her arms. "I don't see why not."

"Nabe. Aries." Ainz said in a scolding tone.

Narberal looked at him. "Mosquitos should be handled without mercy. Please, sir."

"Harsh!" Lukrut grinned. "But it's okay, gorgeous. I can so tell you both want me."

"You know, I just realized something." Ninya spoke up. "We've crossed into the Wise King of the Forest's territory."

That caught both Ainz and Astra's attention. "Wise King?"

"It's a very old and powerful magical creature." Nphirea said as he led the horse back to them. "At least, that's what the legends say. Not only can it cast magic, but it's physically strong. And if it's four razor claws don't finish you off, it's snake tail will."

"Interesting." Ainz hummed. "I think I'd like to meet it."

Demiurge walked across the sitting room and up to the large double doors that were behind Lord Ainz's desk.

He knocked before opening them and stepping inside. "Albedo." He called out to the Succubus who was squirming in the large bed inside the room. "You have your own accommodations, why are you in Lord Ainz's room?"

"I was rubbing my scent into everything I could. I wanted it to be the first thing he smelled when he finally returns." Albedo said as she sat up, revealing her naked body.

Not that Demiurge really cared about the sight of her. "Considering he doesn't require sleep, I doubt that will happen." He let out a tired sigh. "Fine, just, don't overdo it."

Albedo just blinked at him. "I'm sure I don't know what you mean, but we'll try. Right? Lord Ainz?" She looked down and lifted up the thing that was in bed with her.

Demiurge pinched the bridge of his nose. "Is that... a life-sized body pillow?"

Albedo smiled. "Yah! Isn't it great? I made it myself. Now I'm working on the socks and clothes for our first child. I need to be prepared. It won't be much longer. I can feel it!" She let out a giggle. "I've made enough for the first five years. Boy or girl, they'll have everything they could ask for." Suddenly, her eyes widened and she looked worried. "Wait a minute, what if the child doesn't have gender?!"
