A Wizards Misadventures

"You help them in their duties?"

"I do."

"Are you required to do that?"

"No?" She sounded uncertain about that.

"I think I get it. You're something of the mother of Nazerick, keeping everything in order and looking after everyone."

"I-but Lord Ainz is… yes." She was blushing. I smelled blood in the water. Lord Ainz… and calling her the mother of Nazerick.

"Oh? Does someone have a puppy crush?" I grinned at her.

"I am honored to serve my Lord. But I could never serve as his only wife." She said abashedly, a slightly creepy grin coming over her face.

"Right-wait, only?"

"Of course. It's absolutely necessary for Lord Ainz to have more than one wife. Anything less would be absurdly unfit for a supreme being such as him, though his decision in this is absolute of course."

"… Huh." I thought of Ainz, the stiff backed skeleton - hey wait a second.

"How would that work? Would being his wife just be a status symbol or…"

"It would be my duty to… to bear an heir for-" Albedo turned aside and buried her face in her elbow. I heard a muffled squeal come from her. "Ahem, to bear an heir for Ainz." A dreamy expression was over her face.

… This girl was a total weirdo. She knew that he couldn't… do that, right? Maybe with some sort of magic he could briefly be a different race and do the deed. Maybe there was a magic ritual to do that. I was never big on those.

"Is there a ritual to get him to a different race or is it some sort of soul magic?" Albedo's face scrunched up. "I needed to splinter off a bit of my soul to have a kid with Ophis since she's… well it's complicated but-"

"Can't Lord Ainz… no. Nonono, there's a way. Of course there is. It's meant to be." She was almost freaking out. I started getting worried that she was falling into a panic attack. Was she just repressing this until now?

"If things are desperate I can turn him to life, if briefly." I said quickly.

"You can?!" She looked at me with crazed eyes.

"Well yes but-"

"Please, Lord Abyss! Help my lord produce an heir!" She fell off of her seat, knocking it to the floor, and kneeled before me.

"That can be taken VERY out of context-"

"Please!" I sighed.

"Fine. But I'd need to do some experiments. I've never brought a being so close to death back to life before. I could end up permanently making him alive or actually killing him. So I'll need some undead."

"Of course!"

"… Are you going to get back up?"

"Of course." She set the stool up again and smiled brightly, a slightly manic edge to it.

"So thanks for talking to me. It's been nice to have company. But I'm done with my food and I've got to go soon." I didn't have to but Albedo was creeping me out. She reminded me of some of my most ardent followers, who I tried to not think about.

"Of course, Lord Abyss. If you can truly give Nazerick a chance for an heir to Nazerick I would be personally in your debt." She bowed in her seat, managing to be graceful despite her positioning.

"I'll consider it a small favor to a friend. Tell Ainz the good news for me, won't you?"

"Gladly." I teleported out of there and regretted inviting Albedo to chat with me. I really had a hard time noticing the crazies, didn't I? On second thought that was a complete understatement. Everyone I knew was crazy somehow, though I hardly had room to judge.
