"Hah... hah..."
Royal City Roland, the King's bedchamber.
Deep growls echoed through the palace, with heavy footsteps occasionally sounding out.
The vast bedchamber had no servants or attendants present, not because they had abandoned their duty, but because of a direct order from King Ainz III.
A dark figure moved about the palace, its limbs unnaturally elongated, coarse fur protruding from beneath its nightwear, hinting at its beastly nature. Its face, barely human, bared sharp fangs, with thick saliva dripping down.
If anyone had been here today, they would likely have been killed by this humanoid beast. Fortunately, the smart ones had already fled.
But there are always those who realize danger only when it's too late.
"Huff..."
A maid hid in a dark wardrobe, clutching her mouth tightly, her tear-filled eyes peeking through the gap in the door.
