Nobility Faction

Royalty Faction (王派閥) was a political faction that existed with the Re-Estize Kingdom.

Background
The Re-Estize Kingdom was split into two factions, the Royalty Faction and the Nobility Faction. Both factions were locked in a power struggle. In addition, the Empire chose the harvest season of the late-ripening wheat to invade, causing a lack of hands in the villages. This delayed the harvest of wheat and other grains. In this way, the Kingdom would weaken without the need for a full-scale invasion, and this would weaken the power of the Crown. Because of that, the Noble faction paid these consequences no heed. In fact, they were delighted by the Royalty Faction — their enemies — losing their power and influence, failing to understand that once the Kingdom's power fell, the Empire would invade in full force. Due to this, the current king, King Ramposa III choose not to abdicate the throne.

The Undead King Arc
The faction was first mentioned that Gazef Stronoff was a prominent figure in the Royalty Faction, causing the Nobility Faction to seek a means to eliminate him. To do so they solicited the aid of the Sunlight Scripture and created a situation where Gazef was required to leave behind most of his equipment to protect marauders in the Kingdom's frontier.

The Bloody Valkyrie Arc
In the Royal Capital, after Gazef Stronoff reports about Ainz Ooal Gown to the King and the great nobles, many of the nobles suspect that this magic caster is in allegiance to the Empire or the Theocracy, and they suggest to detain the magic caster and put him under their control.

Strength
The strength of the Nobility Faction fluctuated on a constant basis due to its ongoing struggle with the Nobility Faction. The power wanes and strengthens depending on the current political situation. The Nobility Faction contained an alliance of three of the Six Great Nobles, making them a obstacle for the Royalty Faction. Additionally even if they are called a faction, it did not mean that the many nobles who make up the groups are of one mind. No matter what, a faction was a gathering in order to further a goal or way of thinking.
