Jircniv Rune Farlord El-Nix


 * "What comes after this will be a battle for the survival of humanity as a species. It will be a fight for the future. Devote your hearts and souls to it."
 * - Emperor Jircniv to his Imperial Servants.

Jircniv Rune Farlord El-Nix (ジルクニフ・ルーン・ファーロード・エル＝ニクス) is the current Emperor of the Baharuth Empire, also known as the "Bloody Emperor" for his violent purge of the nobility. Upon learning of Ainz, he intended to turn him into his pawn, until he learned of his true nature. Afterwards, while initially opposing the Sorcerer King, he ultimately submitted and became his vassal.

Appearance
Jircniv has blonde hair that reflects with magical illumination just like the shine of the stars, and clear purple eyes that look like amethysts.

Personality
Jircniv is extremely charismatic and well educated both in academics and the culture of courtly life. From a young age, he was groomed for his position as emperor and has cultivated a well-crafted persona of a great ruler. Outwardly, he shows calm and confidence as he believes people will only follow strong leaders. Even in the direst of circumstances, he maintains a cool head and will act rationally for the good of his Empire.

In addition to that, he is very careful about his reputation, controlling his body language perfectly as to not show even the slightest hint of weakness. He always puts off the front of a friendly gentleman and will always be polite in spite of his feelings. Part of the reason for this excessive focus on appearance is to give those he deals with a favorable impression. Using an amiable demeanor and warm smile, he is able to unravel the defenses of his opponents or those he will use to gain an understanding about their personalities and how best to manipulate them. However, he can't read the intentions of a particular opponent who is shrouded in a cloak of suspicions.

On the other hand, Jircniv is considered to be a very ambitious person, as in his lifetime, he managed to purge most of the nobles to consolidate his power while doing away with anyone who opposed him. Although Jircniv is ruthless about his own authority, he doesn't seem concerned with power in and of itself. Rather, Jircniv wants to create a great empire that will stand the test of time. He focuses only on what's beneficial to his empire's development and growth and tries to rid away with anything that will get in the way of that objective. As such, Jircniv is a very pragmatic ruler and will even elevate commoners to high ranking positions if they are capable of doing an excellent job. Jircniv will also not attempt to do anything immoral if there is no reason to do so. For instance, returning the Noblewomen he wanted to offer to Ainz Ooal Gown as a peace offering which later turned out to be unnecessary after the meeting.

Background
Jircniv's mother was from the Five Great Families of the Empire. He had been born and raised as a candidate to be the next Emperor, and everyone around him of his age considered him the Crown Prince. Tragedy struck when his mother was accused of assassinating the Emperor. In order to secure the throne, Jircniv had to eliminate those that were close to him, and as a result, all of his family members were killed for political reasons; since then, part of his heart has remained broken. Despite losing his family, he continued to live on with his life, managing to become crown prince and taking command of the imperial knights.

At the age of twelve, and after his ascension to the throne, he executed the order to purge many of the nobles who dared try to oppose him. Due to the amount of bloodshed and violence he used during the purge, he became known as the Bloody Emperor. Under his reign, he strengthened and enriched the Empire using his political power, overwhelming charisma, and military strength. He is considered the greatest emperor in the nation's history by its people.

During the annual war between the Re-Estize Kingdom and Baharuth Empire, Jircniv encountered Gazef Stronoff on the battlefield and tried to recruit him to his side, but he utterly refused his offer. In the past, he also met Kista, who was part of a diplomatic mission from the Karsanas City-State Alliance to the Baharuth Empire. They had conversed with each other at the reception gala that was held afterwards.

The Men in the Kingdom Arc
At the capital of the Baharuth Empire, Arwintar, Emperor Jircniv wants to know more about the existence of the mysterious magic caster named Ainz Ooal Gown, and wonders if they could put him under the empire's control. He then asked for help from Fluder Paradyne to collect information on the adamantite adventurers' team, Darkness, that had appeared recently in E-Rantel.

The Invaders of the Large Tomb Arc
Emperor Jircniv, after being told by Fluder that he has discovered the dwelling place of Ainz Ooal Gown, manipulates a disgraced noble, Count Femel, to hire bands of workers to explore some tomb in the Re-Estize Kingdom. Jircniv's plan was to use these workers to gauge the strength of Ainz and also damage the Kingdom's relationship with the great magic caster, leading him to work for the Empire.

After days passed, no word of the workers came and they are believed to have been wiped out. While holding court in the Imperial Palace, the Emperor witnessed the arrival of two emissaries from Ainz Ooal Gown. He is powerless to stop them as they buried his loyal knights alive and demanded that he reveal himself.

The Magic Caster of Destroy Arc
In the Imperial Palace, Emperor Jircniv attempted to prolong the negotiation for more time, trying to extract as much information as possible out of the two dark elves through constant questioning. However, his attempt ended in failure due to the latter, when Aura threatens to destroy the Baharuth Empire if he does not apologize to Ainz Ooal Gown immediately.

During the carriage ride to Nazarick, he discusses about the future growth and development of the Empire after rooting out corruption and incompetent people in their nation. In addition, he was also met with proposals of deciding his legacy as the Bloody Emperor and a successor to the throne. This topic brought up the subject of maintaining his bloodline, producing a worthy heir to lead the Empire with one of the possible women from inside and outside the nation. Jircniv vows to his associates that he had no intention of allowing himself to die so soon before a strong government has been formed for the Empire.

As a result, Emperor Jircniv later led a delegation of his finest officials and knights to Nazarick to officially apologize to Ainz Ooal Gown. Upon arriving at the threshold of Nazarick, Jircniv was continuously awed by the wonders that Ainz possessed and the ways the undead express its power to him. During talks of negotiations diplomatically, he was utterly baffled and astonished by the tremendous level of intelligence the undead shows, realizing that Ainz is not the kind who relies on brute force and violence to get his way. At the same time, he felt terrified at the potential threat of Nazarick may pose to his Empire. When he believed that Ainz was planning an all-out invasion of the surface world, in order to protect his nation, Jircniv hastily proposed an alliance between the Baharuth Empire and Nazarick.

After they left Nazarick, Jircniv calmly assessed the situation in the carriage and suspects that Fluder has betrayed him. He silently seeks to recruit potentially powerful magic casters in the event that he will need to replace Fluder, at the same time, seeking to form a grand coalition with other countries against Ainz Ooal Gown. He wants to gain an insider spy in Nazarick as he thinks that there should be at least one creature discontent with his or her position in order to cause a revolt inside Nazarick. Jircniv tells his imperial servants to secretly prepare for the survival of humanity and the world.

The Ruler of Conspiracy Arc
To his disbelief, the Baharuth Empire is thrown into disarray after the battle of the Katze Plains. Though Jircniv sided with the Sorcerer King, the Empire was not without causalities. He didn't expect that a single spell could trample two hundred thousand enemy troops. This resulted in him receiving a petition from the upper echelons of the Imperial Knight Corps that they expressed their desire to avoid warfare with the Sorcerer Kingdom. He curses Ainz Ooal Gown and believes there is a conspiracy inside his empire. He was feeling overwhelmed with stress and tries to alleviate his pain by continuously drinking an unknown potion. Since the emergence of the Sorcerer Kingdom, Jircniv has been taking several countermeasures against espionage, talking in code phrases with his servants and passing secret messages. He prevented those like Fluder Paradyne and Leinas Rockbruise from sharing intel with him or his close aides, worrying that the two are already planning to extract as much information as they can about the Empire to the Sorcerer Kingdom.

On one such secret exchange, he learns that the High Priests and representatives from the Slane Theocracy have agreed to meet with him secretly at the Grand Arena. To add for additional countermeasures, he hires Silver Thread Bird to guard him. At his VIP suite in the Arena, he is greeted by both parties, but before he could conduct talks, he is shocked to discover that Ainz Ooal Gown is the Martial Lord's challenger. With the Sorcerer King in close vicinity of a back-door meeting, the Slane Theocracy opts to abandon it. The High Priests nearly follow suit but are prevented by the emperor who pleads them to wait. Jircniv was amongst those who observed the fight between Ainz and Go Gin, who he was rooting for, sadly his champion lost and Ainz presented himself before the emperor. Seeing all his possible allies vanish before him, Jircniv hastily requests to the Sorcerer King to make the Baharuth Empire as a vassal state. The Sorcerer King, surprised by his request, only accepted the vassalization if it was validated through a document.

The Paladin of the Holy Kingdom Arc
When Ainz was observing Jircniv through magic, he learned that it was very important for a ruler to let his subordinates do the work rather than their emperor.

After his visit to Nazarick, Jircniv noted that he is in great shape recently as the stomach cramps that had been plaguing him all this time were gone. In addition, Jircniv has managed to stop his issue of hair loss. When he stumbled upon reading one of Loune's documents about Ainz's supposed death, he jokingly thinks that whoever wrote it must be quite a comedian. Jircniv believes the Sorcerer King faked his death, knowing that it is impossible for someone as powerful as him to die so easily. When answering his scribe's questions about the Sorcerer King's scheme, he felt that they should not ponder on something they don't know. Instead, he stated that as long as they obey Albedo's orders and complete their tasks, his position as the Empire's ruler and Loune's role as a head scribe are secured.

Nevertheless, ever since his nation became a vassal state, Jircniv’s administrative workload had dropped to around half of before. Afterward, Loune gave Jircniv a document concerning the Knights' complaint about their legions being reorganized with the Sorcerer King's undead army. Feeling this paper was wasted on such trivial requests, Jircniv then commanded the scribe to have the Knights filed their complaint to the Sorcerer King or Albedo in person about it. When Jircniv told the knights to send their complaints to the Sorcerer King, future dissents among them instantly quelled. In that regard, it was thanks to the firm backing of the Sorcerer King.

Finishing some of his sundry tasks for the day, Jircniv eventually allowed his appointed guest and friend Pe Riyuro to enter the room he is in. Once the two exchanged greetings, Jircniv later settled down with Pe Riyuro and began sharing their gift to each other as a sign of their growing friendship. At the same time, Jircniv reminded his friend about the news of the Sorcerer King's death to which the Quagoa responded, stating that he refused to believe it. In the end, he and his friend begun pondering which nation and its people is the next in line to suffer the same tragic fate as them.

The Witch of the Falling Kingdom
Jircniv was recalled by Mayor Re-Kista Cabelia of Bebard who wondered why the Bloody Emperor would submit his nation as a vassal state to the Sorcerer King. Knowing Jircniv, she thought that he must be plotting something against the Sorcerer Kingdom internally from within.

The Current Situation of Various People. A Prologue Arc
Jircniv received a meeting with his dear friend Pe Riyuro. After the meeting he had another with Nimble and Baziwood in his office. He showed them that he received a gift from Ainz in the form a magic ring that helped suppress stomach aches to replace his Ring of Unicorn. However Jircniv believed that the gift was a veiled warning from the Sorcerer King. When Nimble showed him the missive from Prime Minister Albedo about a welcoming ceremony for the Faceless One from the Roble Holy Kingdom, the emperor declined to attend under the pretense of having stomach pains. Instead he ordered Nimble to attend the event in his stead.

The Half Elf God-kin Arc
The human emperor was recalled by Ainz whilst he observed Decem Hougan speak to Aura and Mare on his view of what a king should be. When the elf explained his refusal to aid his people, Ainz was surprised that the twins agreed with his logic. Thinking back to Jircniv and Pe Riyuro, Ainz mused that their attitudes were similar to the Elf King.

Mass for the Dead Arc
Due to the Catastrophe Jircniv would put aside his differneces with the Kingdom and Theocracy so that his nation could survive in the new and danerous age. At E-Rantel, the emperor became one of the signees of the Tripartite Agreement, ending the conflict between the three great nations, and creating the Tripartite Alliance. At the time of the second summit conference for the Alliance, he arrived with Fluder Paradyne with designs for the military alliance. Later at the venue for the conference it became apparent that the Bloody Emperor wanted the Empire to assert control over the Alliance. He started by attacking King Rampossa's management of the Alliance's capital, E-Rantel, noting that it was prospering despite the war torn cities of the other nations. To improve the system of cooperation and to equally distribute resources he called to implement a system based on the Empire's own merit based culture. This was of course casting doubt to the Kingdom's abilities to manage the center of the Alliance, thus Jircniv offered the king to prove that his most elite warriors were better than the Empire's by having a mock battle. Among the contestants that battle for the empire was Nimble, Fluder, and Zero who he personally pardoned to gain his loyalty.

The act to discredit the Kingdom fails, after an unexpected attack on E-Rantel forces the duel to come to a draw so that the three nations could launch a counterattack. Once the battle was over, Jircniv witness King Rampossa III's proposal to launch more aggressive measures against the Chaos Beasts which was favored by his counterpart Raymond Zarg Lauransan. Seeing that he lost the battle for now, Jircniv plotted to continue to wait for another opportunity.

The opportunity came sooner than expected as Gazef Stronoff went missing after he led a team to locate the source of Chaos Beasts coming north of E-Rantel. The Warrior Captain's absence was reported to Jircniv who then capitalized the moment by sending more imperial knights to E-Rantel. When the Warrior Captain was rescued by the protagonist, and Gazef's being absent from public view, the emperor deduced that something was still wrong with the Kingdom's champion. Seeing his time was now the emperor assembled he might of the Imperial Army to head to E-Rantel to show the world its might. Together with Fluder and his former apprentice Sophie Noia, Jircniv made plans to display the Empire's latest weapons to show the Empire was the nation to lead humanity.

The emperor's amassing of might at E-Rantel happened just when an army of ten thousand Chaos Beasts emerged from deep underground from the north. Jircniv seeing the crisis took command of the situation and use his army as well as his allies to fight against the monsters. After the horde was defeated Jircnov soaked in the glory of the victory, but his confidence shattered when another horde of thirty thousand Chaos Beasts were about a few days away. With the Imperial Army exhausted, Jircniv made a Faustian deal with the Demon Emperor Jaldabaoth who appeared at the battlefield. Without the consent of the Alliance, the emperor offered the riches of E-Rantel to the demon in order to save it. The Demon Emperor and his minions made short work of the Chaos Beasts, and demanded additional payment which was Jircniv's life. The emperor's Four Imperial Knights and even the Martial Lord Go Gin tried to protect him, but were defeated one by one. The emperor was later brought back to the city for his public execution and placed before a chopping chock. In the crowd watching his execution, the emperor spotted his mentor Fluder, but was shocked to see that the old man made no move to save him, leading him to understand that the wizard had betrayed him. WIth no one left to save him, the emperor decided to accept his fate. Just as the executioner's axe came, the protagonist in black armor arrived to save KJircniv and get hims to safety. Once saved from death's door the emperor witness the hero defeat the demons single-handedly. In a moment of humility Jircniv wonders if the one to gude humanity is another.

Some time after his rescue by the protagonist, Jircniv was present at a meeting where the Re-Estize Kingdom would officially grant the management rights of the city of E-Rantel to the Sorcerer Kingdom. Since his rescue, Jircniv had a whole new outlook on life, making no desire for power any longer. It seems that after returning to this home country rumors of what happened in E-Rantel spread among the imperial citizens, though they tell of how the emperor was broken by the Demon Emperor and how he treasured the heroes of other nations to that of his own knights. Jircniv was given a new moniker of "Bloodless Emperor" by his own people. Some former nobles of the old empire seeing that Jircniv had become weak conspired against him and began to gather resources to plot their rebellion. The anti-Jircniv faction even acquired the aid of Zero and his new incarnation of Six Arms to establish a secure smuggling route to the Theocracy to gain weapons and manpower to build up their forces using slaves.

The emperor showed very little attempt to crush the negative rumors about him. His carefree behavior was noticed by the remaining Four Imperial Knights who tried to snap the emperor from his reclusiveness. When they confronted him on the serious of how this was damaging him imperial image, they were shocked to learn that the emperor had not lost his scheming mind but was merely acting submissive to give his enemies a sense of false confidence. He then dispatched the knights to intercept the rebels in the Katze Plains. Zero had remained loyal to him as it seems and sold out the nobles. When he returned from the quarry to Arwintar, the emperor had been surprised that the worker was still alive as he believed all the workers perished in the Melting Pot strategy. Though Zero should have been angry at the emperor for using him, he wasn't as he heard about what Jircniv suffered at the hands of the Demon Emperor. Zero instead wanted to be compensated for his services to the Empire and be made a member of one of the Four Imperial Knights. The worker's request was not unreasonable as there was a spot open due to Nazami's death, but Jircniv was reluctant to make Zero into a knight as he had eyes on the "Dark Warrior" to take the position. Still the emperor decided to let Zero serve him in helping him round up all his dissenters by first gaining the assistance of the Captain of the Ghost Ship which ultimately would lead Zero into rebuilding Six Arms back to full strength.

Once the mission was done and the rebels arrested, Nimble relayed a message from the emperor to Zero that the former criminal would need to fight one of the knight to prove himself worthy as one of the Four Imperial Knights which Zero accepted. After the knights reported back to Jircniv, the emperor decided to pass the nobles to the Kingdom through Princes Renner not just as a diplomatic favor, but also in hopes that the protagonist would approve of his actions who he had taken a shine as a savior. In that to curry favor with the Sorcerer Kingdom, Jircnov planned to emancipate the elven slaves in the Empire and incorporate their abilities into the recovering Imperial Army.

Zero still scheming to get a position as one of the Four Imperial Knight believed he found such an opportunity when Regi and Shizuni brought back a Scented Moisture Fan from E-Rantel. As it was proof of the Sorcerer Kingdom's secret plan to launch a new line of household items, the leader of Six Arms intended to use the newly acquired information to leverage it with the Bloody Emperor.

It was later revealed that the emperor and the protagonist brokered a secret protocol in the event of an emergency when there was an attack on E-Rantel. In the agreement the emperor would to dispatch the Empire’s elite troops to protect the researchers in the E-Rantel Magic Research Institute. The protocol was enacted shortly after several Cracks formed directly in the city release countless Chaos Beasts. Knight of the Empire led by Nimble and Leinas quickly diverted their forces there to fulfill their duty.

Abilities and Powers
As the emperor of his nation, Jircniv has absolute political and military power within the Baharuth Empire. He has military experience from the enduring conflict between the Kingdom and the Empire. In the past, he even faced Gazef Stronoff on the battlefield itself.

Jircniv’s senses were very sharp, and he had once discovered that a seemingly loyal noble had actually been scheming and plotting secretly with nobles hostile to him. Now, he strained those senses to the utmost in order to pick out every clue he could uncover.

Jircniv has also displayed something akin to that of a sixth sense, as seen where even though even the most powerful Magic Caster's of the Empire were unable to detect anything wrong, Jirciniv was still able to sense that Ainz had placed him under surveillance magic and somehow felt a pang of uncomfortably every time Ainz was watching him secretly despite him having no skills or magic giving him this ability.

Pe Riyuro
In a surprising twist of fate, the emperor has become quite close with Quagoa ruler, so much that he even considers him his first true real friend. This is strengthened by the fact that both have gone through similar turmoils before, and became servants to the Sorcerer King. The two would usually meet with one another on a regular basis, including eating and drinking together. His friendship with the Quagoa changed his assumptions on demi-humans, and even accepting them as equals.

Baziwood Peshmel
Jircniv sees Baziwood as his most loyal and trusted imperial knight of the Baharuth Empire. While he was not very loyal to him at first, Baziwood actually began to respect Jircniv after spending some time in his presence. The emperor considers him the mightiest of his subordinates.

Leinas Rockbruise
Jircniv sees Leinas as the least loyal of the Four Imperial Knights. He earned her loyalty by allowing her to have her revenge against those who wronged her. However, he is aware that she would easily abandon him to save her own life or to lift her curse. After the massacre at the Katze Plains, Jircniv believed Leinas was planning to steal information and defect to the Sorcerer Kingdom, so he kept her on a short leash.

Fluder Paradyne
Jircniv loved and looked up to Fluder as if he were his own father, and Fluder loved him as he were his son, as he was the one who raised him, even referring to him as "gramps." Jircniv knows Fluder well, being aware of his obsession with magic and his bizarre personality. That knowledge allowed him to realize Fluder's treason.

After he figured out that his mentor betrayed him to Ainz Ooal Gown, his love seems to have evaporated and he schemed to have him replaced. It's unknown how their current relationship is after the Empire became a Vassal State.

Loune Vermillion
Jircniv praises Loune as one of his most capable subjects and the best scribe of his court. Nevertheless, he "sacrificed" him, leaving the secretary as his representative in Nazarick, where Jircniv was sure would be put under mind control. However, the emperor regretted having to leave behind his valuable subordinate; instead, he would've preferred to remain in Nazarick himself.

Ainz Ooal Gown
When Jircniv first learned of Ainz Ooal Gown he sought more information on him to see whether he could be a threat or asset to the Empire. He also wanted to see if it was possible to use Ainz and bring him over to his side. To this end, he sent five Worker groups into Nazarick just to get a sense of Ainz's personality. When his castle is breached by Aura and Mare riding a dragon while casually dispatching his elite knights including one of the Four Knights his attitude changed from curiosity to wariness. Realizing that Ainz had enough power to do tremendous harm to the empire, he resolved to find out as much as possible about Ainz to try to negotiate and manipulate him, or in the Emperor's words have "a battle of words" in lieu of using force.

However, upon learning that Ainz is an Undead, Jircniv's views changed from wariness to outright horror, realizing there was no way he could control him. This fear only grew when Ainz casually created a Death Knight right in front of the imperial contingent using the head of the Count that sent the workers. Due to his prejudice against the undead, the Emperor sees Ainz as the ultimate threat to humanity, with the extent of his power driving him paranoid to the danger Ainz poses. He also believes Ainz to be a genius who can easily see through any plan he comes up with and has been manipulating a vast conspiracy against him in the empire.

After Ainz displayed his full power, the Emperor's stress and paranoia towards the Sorcerer King causes his mental and physical health to decline. Jircniv has trouble sleeping, develops a stress stomach ulcer, and starts losing his hair while feeling as though he is being watched several times (unknown to him, Ainz is actually spying on him using scrying magic). During the time Ainz was introducing himself to the emissaries of the Slane Theocracy, Jircniv believed Ainz to be a sadist and that he enjoyed toying with everyone.

In the end, after his bid to form an alliance with the Slane Theocracy failed and his last hopes of the Martial Lord killing Ainz were shattered, he finally gave up and submitted to him in an attempt to guarantee his survival. Ironically, the Empire's vassalization ended up solidifying his rule and took a huge administrative burden off his shoulders, causing him to actually be grateful to Ainz. Nevertheless, he's still afraid of the undead king.

Demiurge
Jircniv first met Demiurge while visiting Nazarick, during which the demon was in his toad form. The demon left a big impression on him when he used his Command Mantra to force his escorts to bow before Ainz, even though he himself was unaffected due to his medallion's protection. After discussing it with Silver Thread Bird, he came to believe that Demiurge might be a Toadman, who were known for their magical voices.

Mare Bello Fiore
Jircniv believes that Mare is a girl, due to his cross-dressing. Due to his seemingly weak-willed demeanor, the Emperor saw him as Nazarick's weak link and planned to exploit him. However, this never came to pass.

Draudillon Oriculus
Dragon Queen Draudillon is ranked number two on Jircniv's list of women he despises the most because he knows that she is actually a hag underneath her magic. When Fluder suggested a political marriage with her so that his descendants may be able to use Wild Magic, Jircniv quickly shot the idea down.

Renner Theiere Chardelon Ryle Vaiself
Princess Renner is ranked number one on Jircniv's list of women he despises the most, to the point he wishes to have her assassinated. Despite his animosity, however, he cannot help but feel admiration for her progressive ideas and even incorporated some himself as he rebuilt the Empire. The actual reason behind his hatred is because she is one of the few people whom he cannot read, which scares him. After looking at all of her previous actions and attempts to reform the Kingdom, Jircniv was able to accurately deduct that Renner had done these actions fully expecting to fail, causing him great confusion as to what exactly was her motivations and goals are to begin with.

Calca Bessarez
According to Maruyama, Jircniv hates Calca because her personality is too goody-two-shoes. As the Holy Queen of her nation, Calca is unwilling to use underhanded means and she is too pretty, which really angers him. Annoying to Jircniv, Calca has all the talent needed to be the Holy Queen, yet she can’t do the important things right.

Re-Kista Cabelia
He met her when the latter was a top-level official of the envoy who traveled to his Empire for a diplomatic mission. Upon meeting each other face-to-face afterwards, the two had a conversation that was held at the reception gala. Jircniv described the kind of woman he most preferred to be married to would be with someone like Kista. She was the kind of woman who understood how scheming Jircniv is, thinking that the latter was coveting something silently. He was viewed by her as rich in intelligence, wealth, and charm.

Quotes

Besides, he seems quite strong-willed." your shoes… I truly did not sell you out. And while you might not believe this either, as a human being I wish to tell you one thing.

Otherwise, why would he release us so easily? An opponent with so much power, who doesn't use brawn, but brains? He is no mere mindless brute."
 * (To both Baziwood and Nimble about Ainz): "What do you think I should do? Why would a monster like that appear next to the Empire? Why? What sin did I commit against heaven and earth to warrant that? What should I do to slay that monster or failing that, to seal it away? Now that the Empire's trump card has been stolen away by the enemy, is there really any way to turn the situation around?"

Your schemes are so fiendish I can't even begin to comprehend them!"

We will get the news out to the surrounding countries quickly and let it spread, so the Sorcerer Kingdom has no choice but to acknowledge it."
 * (To both Baziwood and Nimble): "Why so glum? There are all sorts of vassal states. If we are allowed to govern ourselves for the most part, then we can continue living as we always have. No ― if the Sorcerer Kingdom defends us with their incredible power, then would we not be safer than before?"
