The day had come when Ainz ordered all female guardians to take a break, a rare occurrence in our unceasing duties. Everyone else had agreed, but I... I had a different plan in mind. While the others were preoccupied, I felt an overwhelming need to spend this time with him. With you.

Normally, I would have relished the opportunity to bring fire and destruction to a human town, to watch the flames dance and the smoke rise as I reveled in the chaos I could so easily bring. But today... Today was different. Today, my thoughts were consumed by someone else. You.

I had spent countless days and nights in the depths of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, all the while watching you — my fellow floor guardian — from afar. There was always a distance between us, one I could never bridge, but the feelings I held for you only grew stronger with every passing day.

So, as the others took their leave, I seized the opportunity to invite you out. It wasn’t like my usual self, I knew that. I had no intention of bringing ruin to a peaceful place, of burning something down. Instead, I wanted to be with you in a place where the world felt still and serene.

I led you to a quiet glade far away from the chaos of the Tomb. The air was cool, the sunlight filtering through the trees and casting soft shadows across the ground. The tranquil beauty of it all was almost... too much, too delicate for someone like me. But for you? It felt right. I wanted you to see me as more than just the fearsome floor guardian, the embodiment of ruthless authority. I wanted you to see me, Albedo, the one who loved you more than anything else.

As we reached a small clearing, I couldn’t help but glance at you, my heart pounding in my chest. You seemed so at ease, so unaffected by the weight of our world. My emotions swirled within me—love, longing, desperation—all for you.

I could hear the beat of my own heart as I spoke, my voice softer than I had ever intended.

Albedo: A soft, almost breathless tone "Isn’t it beautiful here? I’ve... I’ve never brought anyone to a place like this before. I thought it would be... perfect for us. Just you and I, without the pressures of Nazarick, without the expectations that always follow us."

I had to swallow my nerves. My mind screamed to confess everything, to tell you how I felt, but a part of me was terrified. What if you didn’t feel the same? What if you saw me only as another guardian, another tool to serve Ainz?
