Beautiful?
When Demiurge called Saki beautiful. Her heart skipped a beat, and her mind felt like it was exploded. But she shake it off the thought and kept walking in the endless hallway. Saki brought out her note book and write the event before down. As she was writing Saki herd so coming her way.
Before she was going to run away, she collapsed into tears. It was Ainz. Ainz spotted Saki as he walks closer. "Saki you shouldn't be in the hallway. Have you gain your research on Area's pets?--" he pauses as he got a better look at Saki.
"SAKI!!!" He grabs her telaport into his bedroom. Saki explained everything what happened, Ainz was calm for most of it until Saki mentioned about what Demiurge did.
"What did he do to you again?!" Ainz shrieked.
"Nothing much. He only questioned me, he pin me to the wall. Oh! Did I also mentioned that he saw my face." Saki added.
"And what else did he do? Did he harmed you? Did he abuse you? Did he--"
"He called me beautiful..." Ainz just froze.
After few hours of awkward talking both decide to tell everyone the truth tomorrow.
Next Day
All the floor gardians were all gather in the throne room along with all the other servants of The Great Tomb of Nazarick. They were all in a bow position and their faces pointed downwards. Saki was once again cloaked herself with an Invisibility spell from all of them.
Ainz gave out a hour long speech, afterwards Ainz explained about Nazarick future. Then he stood up and roared.
"Come to me! Oh angel of mercy! Come and show all your light!"
The doors for the throne room slowly open wide as Saki walked in. She took a few steps and then flew upwards showing everyone the light coming off her wings. Then she flew right to Lord Ainz side bowing on her knees lowering her head.
"I have heard your precious voice and gladly bond by your rule. All hale The Great Lord Ainz Ooal Gown!"
As the wind from her wings blew, revealing her face for all to see. Demiurge froze, absolutely lost for words.
"Raise your head and tell everyone who you are and what the meaning of your existence."
Ainz voice echoed across the throne room, Saki stood up and faced towards everyone but her mind was blank and throat was suddenly dry. Ainz noticed Saki wasn't speaking.
"Is there a problem?" Ainz asked.
Saki jumped in response and started to stutter. "S-Sorry m-my lord. It's just I h-haven't talked to a-anyone but y-you alone. I-In other words I'm having a c-case of Stage Fright."
Ainz jaw dropped of shock, then he cover his face of embarrassment. How could he let this happen? By forbidding Saki to talk to anyone but himself. Yah he screwed up big time!
Saki turn back to the crowd took a deep breath. And she spoke think of everyone as potatoes.
"Greetings! I am Saki Ooal Gown, my duty is follow my father steps and become a ruler for all of you to look up to. I hope we all get along. Specializing the Floor Gardians, reminds me I still have to apologize for yesterday. For as you see that so call intruder... was me. I'm so sorry for bringing everyone into a panic. Please forgive everyone." Saki bows her head and turn off her mind to avoid every voice but her father's.
Then she remembered she wanted to talk to Demiurge. So she ask her father to talk to Demiurge alone.
~Hour Later~
Saki and Demiurge we're finally alone in the thone room, face to face. Everything is silence.
"Do want to give me a punishment, malady." Spoke Demiurge breaking the peaceful silent.
"No." Saki said in response.
"Then may I ask why I'm not?" Demiurge ask fixing his glasses.
Immediately in Saki mind she was dying to know what Demiurge hides behind his glasses. Not really knowing what she was doing. Saki reached out and took hold on Demiurge glasses, and remove them off his face.
"Huh. So that what you look like without your glasses." Demiurge stares at Saki confused. While Saki was getting closer she then return Demiurge's glasses and step back. Demiurge still confused, place his glasses back they were.
"Sorry what did you said before? I wasn't really listening." Saki said clueless of what she done.
"How can you be so calm? Aren't you frustrated with me?" Demiurge said with shame of himself.
"No. I'm not. I'm not even angry if that reassuring to you." Saki replied titled her head to the side.
"But why? I treated you horribly, so why can you forgive." Saki place a hand on Demiurge shoulder and said.
"The only reason I brought you here to talk to you is because there something I don't understand about you." Saki explained.
"What could that be?" Demiurge said afraid what Saki was going to say next.
"Why did you call me beautiful?" Demiurge eyes widened in shock and embarrassment. Remembering that moment in lord Ainz room, where he finally saw Saki face for the first time. When he specifically said that she was beautiful.
"Uh? Demiurge? Are you alright? You look like your going to faint. Demiurge? Demiurge?!" Saki screamed. Demiurge snapped back to reality and now realize that his breath has gone heavy, his limbs started shaking, his entire body felt hot. Saki waved her hand in fornt of Demiurge's face.
"Demiurge!? Hey! Can you hear me? DEMIURGE!" Saki was getting more and more frustrated at Demiurge silence, and smacked him across the face.
Demiurge stood there still shaking. Saki grabs Demiurge by the shoulders and started shaking him, screaming out his name. Demiurge holds Saki wrist tightly, Saki let go of his shoulders but Demiurge didn't let go of Saki wrist.
"Demiurge! What's wrong? I don't understand if you don't tell me." Demiurge slowly let go Saki's wrist and pushed up his glasses.
"Apologies. My behavior is truly unforgiveable. If wish I will--" Before Demiurge could continue Saki cut him off.
"OH NO! DON'T EVEN GO THERE! ALL I WANT IS YOU TO ANWSER MY QUESTION! IS THAT TOO HARD TO ASK!?" Saki shrieked into Demiurge ear.
"Apologies again I didn't mean to--" Before Demiurge could finish his sentence, Saki cut him off once again.
"I DON'T WANT YOUR APOLOGIES! I WANT ANWSER! NOW!" Demiurge then noticed Saki's golden colored eyes, turn into a dark tangerine color. He gulp and finally told her.
"Because... it was the only thing I thought when I first saw you." Saki eyes turn dark tangerine to a bright amber color, her expression in shock and face was red.
Saki instantly look away covering her face, mentally screaming to herself. 'Did really just said that?! I can't tell if I want to hug him or punch him! Ugh!!! What is happening to ME!?'
Mewhile in Demiurge mind: 'WHAT IN NAZARICK DID I JUST SAY!? DID I REALLY JUST SAID THAT TO THE SUPREME BEING DAUGHTER! I'M SUCH A FOOL! SHE PROBABLY THINK OF ME THAT WAY TOO! UGH!!!! I WANT TO DIE!'
This carry-on for a while.
Someone knocks the door. Both Saki and Demiurge turn to the and took breath of relief.
'Thank the gods! Someone! Anyone! Help me get out this awkward conversation!' Saki glee of joy but tries to not show it.
'Damn it! Why now?!' Demiurge scoffs with disgust.
The door slowly opens and immediately Demiurge face changes to disgust into fear. Because the person who entered the room was Ainz.
"Is everything alright here?" Ainz asked, Saki shakes her head and Demiurge bowed.
"No father. Nothing is wrong. Nothing at all. You don't need to worry. Me and Demiurge are discussing, so may you please let us be for a moment longer." Saki said but she really want to run away as fast her wings can take her.
"Uh? Very well then. I'll let you be. Try not to talk to long, it's almost you bed time. Remember." Ainz said before closing the door.
After when Saki knew Ainz was gone. She collapsed on her knees let out a low grunt.
"Ugh!!!!!!!!!!" Saki said and this what she said in her head.
'Why in Heaven did I said that!? I could said I was finished with the conversation and I could be out of this situation already! Why am I like this?! I just want to dig a hole and die!'
"Malade are you alright!?--" Demiurge reached out to help before Saki spring up to her feet. But that what she was trying to do, instead she spring upwards hitting her head under Demiurge chin. They both cried out with pain, Saki rubbing her head as Demiurge rubbing his chin.
"Sorry about that Demiurge. I didn't mean to do that! Here let me help you [Heal]" Demiurge pain disappear after Saki cast the spell.
"Lady Saki you shouldn't done that. Not like I'm ungrateful for what you done, it's just..." Demiurge took deep breath before continuing while pushing up his glasses.
"For all I'd done. I shouldn't be forgiven. And there fornt I should--" Demiurge stopped when Saki dropped her hands on his shoulders.
"I'm really getting sick of you talking about that you did something wrong. For one you didn't do anything wrong that was me. And secondly even you did you can't just apologize and ask for some kind of punishment. Instead learn from your mistakes, or I would put it." Saki clear her throat before finishing her speech.
"Build a bridge and move on. That what I always say." She then showed a soft caring smile.
Demiurge gulpe once again, and shocked from Saki kindness towards him. Saki removes her hands off Demiurge's shoulders. She place one of hand on the back of her neck, scratching it slightly. Slowly her caring smile turn into more and more to a childish grin.
"Anyway, sorry for letting you stay for so long. And for yelling at you annnnnnnnd for being unpleasant." Demiurge bows his head.
"Please don't bothered yourself with a low life like me. Serving your father is all I need." After saying that. Saki bends down to see his face. Demiurge looks up towards her eyes.
"Huh... Demiurge I like you your cool in my book." Demiurge steps back startled by the comment but tries to keep his composer.
"Lady Saki, you flatter me." Saki blinks a couple of times before she started laughing.
"Was there something I said?" Demiurge questioned.
"What? If you think I'm upset with you, then your mistaken. You see, I always wanted to talk to all of you and see how your reaction would be towards me would be like. So can't help but laugh. Do understand now?" Saki explained waving her hands around the place.
"I see." Demiurge said nodding his head. 'Even though she is the daughter Supreme Being. She is still particularly a child. Better keep note in mind about that.' Demiurge thought to himself.
