Overlord is all about villainy in the first place.

Or more precisely, the tragic consequences of simple-minded moral hypocrisy is a major core theme.

The reason that the Holy Kingdom must be brutally subjugated rather than being incorportated relatively peacefully like the Empire is the result of the kind of (absence of) thinking which Remedios embodies. Indeed, if not for Remedios, Calca and Kelart might have been open to a degree of cooperation with the Sorcerous Kingdom that would have made Demiurge's plan of having Ainz save them from the demons unnecessary.

Of course, the Abelion Hills region would still need to be harshly subjugated. But Remedios fails to see that she's the precise moral equivalent of the most dangerous elements among the Demihumans even when she has a chance to have her combat intuition and divine powers confirm that fact irrefutably.

That said, I feel bad about Kelart. That's definitely a sad fate for someone who's main sin was being born as Remedios' little sister.
