Actually, killing enemy leaders is assassination, and it isn't entirely normal.

But it's clearly not murder when you have a state of war.

As for whether Calca could have avoided the war, it is completely obvious that all she had to do was send an envoy to the Sorcerous Kingdom and open peace negotiations. Yes, Demiurge already planned on her NOT doing that. Demiurge happens to not be a total idiot and he realizes that Calca didn't have the balls for it. But it's a thing that she could have done and it absolutely would have meant that Ainz would adjust the plan.

Instead she dithered and basically assumed that the Sorcerous Kingdom didn't have any plan to expand their influence and would just wait until a coalition of nearby human countries finished their other business and wiped them out.
