You are looking at it as a reader. We have all the information and know what Ainz is thinking. Emperor only has partial information. All the inhabitants of Nazaric he met where non-human and all of them, including Ainz radiated an incredibly oppressive aura of pure malice. He also knows that Ainz killed 200 000 humans summoning eldritch horrors and laughed about it. From history they know that undead and necromancers wiped out entire cities and regions before and that the undead hate life. The only reason Ainz is not like that is because he is not a real undead but no one knows this. Ainz only rules the city for a month. That is not enough time to make definite conclusions and the empire probably doesn’t have all the information about the state of the city. Ainz can obliterate the empire. How is the emperor to know that he won’t do it in the future for whatever reason especially as Ainz has already shown he has no calms about slaughtering humans? It makes sense to carefully try to stop him before it comes to that. If some unfathomable aliens show up tomorrow and blow up USA you think the rest of the world would feel nice and safe and trust the aliens won’t do it again? Or would we plot in the background and try to bring down the aliens by any means necessary? And no one wants to be subjugated by anyone let alone monsters. I disagree that the emperor is a cold blooded monster. All his thoughts are about the future of the empire, what will happen to the people not about himself. He also seems to be kind and understanding to his subordinates. Of course, he is no saint. He has purged a bunch of nobles but that is how political upheavals went. All in all I think the emperor is behaving exactly how a competent human ruler should given the information he has which makes him a well written character. I agree he should be more open minded but something like that takes time.
