Hey Guys! Crescent Rider here and I am back with another chapter! But before you all begin, you may all wonder about what you'll expect in this chapter. The Lizardmen unified their tribes by Zaryusu Shasha.

The chapter will focus on Hope and others like Manor Personnel and Servants. Just putting some depth in her character when inside or outside of Nazarick.

That is all and enjoy the chapter!

8th Floor Manor

After Hope gained Ainz's approval, Solstice is in the middle of packing some of his stuff into a small pouch he hangs around his waist. It may look small, but the space within is vast but not like a Player's [Inventory].

As soon as he finished, Solstice kept his pouch hanging onto his waist and rushed up to Hope, who was standing by the doors, "Ready to go?"

"You bet I am, Hope-Onee-san! I can't wait to see what's out there!" Solstice openly expressed,

"I know, but remember. Upon first sight of trouble, you will be teleported back here for your safety. Do I make myself clear?" Hope reminded,

"I will! Besides, I've got you, what more do I need," Solstice remarked, and Hope genuinely chuckled before ruffling his gray hair again.

"I'm glad you approve, but before we leave I want to check up on Pride's Pawn," Hope said, "You can come with me if you like,"

"Sure! I can't wait to meet them!" Solistice agreed, and they went out of the room to Prideful Sector, which holds the entire 3rd Floor of the Manor. They first take the stairs, then stop as Hope turns and activates a unique feature through her manor ring.

The large stairs they took soon started to rumble and what followed was the middle section of the stairs started to spilt and flip itself upward to the ceiling. Solistice watched in awe before taking Hope's hand and marching their way up the stairs.

When their heads reached the ceiling, they somehow phase through, and before them was a bedroom that looked similar to a chessboard. The one sitting at the center of a half-black-white bed was a child with a black halo floating above his head, short black hair, a white collared shirt under a black sleeveless vest and black tie, long pants, and white socks.

His leather shoes rest by the center of the bed's footboard.

(For reference, the appearance is similar to Lucius Wagner from Lucius)

"Hello Marshal," Hope greeted, "How are you today?"

"I'm fine, thank you for asking," Marshal casually replied, then fixated their gaze on Solstice, "Why is one of the Envious Members outside their respective sector?"

"He wanted to leave the manor for a while. So I got permission from Ainz-san to supervise his outing," Hope explained,

"Ah, I see... And what brings you to visit my room?" Marshal inquired,

"I wanted to check on Beowulf before I leave with Solstice. Hoping that he doesn't do anything out of line," Hope revealed,

Marshal would conjure an orb with his hand and hover it toward Hope's direction. Moments later, the orb shows Beowulf sitting on the ground, and around him are heavily armed knights. Ever since his arrival in the manor, it's always Marshal tending to his urge for battle and Marshal's diversity with weapons, armor, and tactics proves that he is never bored with them.
