No, the chains are not some kind of formality. I don't know what screwed up country you're from, but that's too kinky even for the Holy Kingdom.

And Remedios knows, with absolute certainty, that the chains don't do squat. She has a sixth sense for that, remember? Also, Caspond and Gustave both think that Remedios' insistance on the chains is stupid, as do Neia and Shizu, and certainly whatever poor sucker of a paladin was told to chain Shizu up in the first place (because I know Remedios didn't do that herself). For all I know she was actually stupid enough to tell Shizu to chain herself up.

The chains are a pointless, futile, symbolic gesture, but what they symbolize is that Remedios is a raving idiot who willfully ignores even her own combat instincts because she refuses to deal with any evidence that runs contrary to her prejudices.

Which is exactly why the Holy Kingdom is being treated worse than any other human nation Ainz has dealt with so far (because they haven't got around to the Theocracy, and aren't THEY going to have fun when it's their turn).

If it's Pe Riyuro, I feel really bad for the guy. He just wanted to make sure his people weren't being tricked into becoming instant popsicles. To which the answer was, "if that's what Ainz wills, then you better do it with a smile, cause you guys aren't really that worthwhile otherwise."

The various leaders of the demi-humans in the Abelion Hills mostly didn't even get that much of an option. Not that all of them were smart enough to even wish for it, but hey. Those ones are still not as willfully stupid as Remedios has shown herself.
