Ainz was shown to the room where the dwarves were waiting.

He walked proudly in full gear. With his back straight and his chest thrust out, he cut a kingly figure. And where someone else might have worn cologne, he instead activated a black halo and aura. No one could take him lightly once he had done all that.

Instead of carrying a scepter, he wore a gaudy wand on his hip. The spell it contained was tier one, but he had no intention of casting it, so he didn’t expect that to be an issue.

When he had looked at himself, he felt that perhaps he had deviated somewhat from his original goal of proceeding in a friendly fashion, but Aura’s and Shalltear’s reactions were excellent.

Still, those two thought too much of him, so he was still anxious about whether their opinions were really to be trusted or not.

That’s why he asked what Zenbel thought.

Faced with a question about a topic outside his realm of expertise, Zenbel seemed confused, but he said, “Go in like that and they’ll definitely respect you,” so Ainz had trusted him and proceeded without any changes.

But all the dwarves he had met seemed surprised and on edge. That made him nervous, but it also could have been considered an appropriate reaction to a king’s appearance.

“His Majesty the King of Darkness has arrived.”

He could hear the dwarf announcing him beyond the door.

Then it opened, and Ainz entered.

There were eight dwarves inside the space that resembled a conference room.

He had heard from the supreme commander each of their identifying physical characteristics, roles, and names.

The chief of the great earth shrine, despite the title implying otherwise, was in charge of all magic affairs whether faith related, arcane, or otherwise.

The chief of the smith shops mainly supervised blacksmith production.

The supreme commander, who had brought Ainz here, handled everything to do with the military and police. There was a time when he had commanded a huge army, but now there were barely a hundred soldiers in total, so he laughed that he didn’t feel worthy of the title anymore.

The chief of the food industry managed food and other non-blacksmithing products.

The chief of administration dealt with all the affairs the other chiefs didn’t.

The chief of alcohol’s existence was a measure of exactly how much dwarves loved to drink.

The chief of caves and mines, who mostly oversaw mining matters, was one of the most influential members.

The chief of the merchant council handled foreign affairs. At one point, the merchant council had been its own organization, but due to the decline in the number of merchants and generally lower trade activity, the title remained in name only.

Those were the eight members of the regency council.

Ainz slowly examined them. Seven of them gaped back at him. Then his eyes met those of a somewhat tired-looking dwarf—the supreme commander.

Ainz feigned composure, but inside he was completely bewildered. Hey! I can’t tell these guys apart! You can say his beard’s a bit shorter but that doesn’t help if
