I should be able to hold my head high.... right...
Completely understanding the situation. The people here showed approval of the majestic
appearance of the Virtuous King of the Forest, but for Ainz, this was already approaching
something like a punishment game. To put it in other words, it was like not having any family or
girlfriend as a partner, sitting on a carousel with a deadpan look, looking towards an uncle in
loneliness.
His riding posture was also quite unsightly. Because the Virtuous King of the Forest was
completely different from a horse, Ainz’s butt would point outwards while riding and he had to
spread his legs wide. If he didn’t assume this posture similar to jumping over a box, it would be
difficult for him to maintain his balance.
Therefore, this idea of riding the Virtuous King of the Forest, was definitely not an idea that Ainz
thought of himself. In addition to the persuasion from the Sword of Darkness members and the
Virtuous King of the Forest himself, Narberal also politely said “It would be too much for a ruler
to walk.” which made him think that riding it wouldn’t be such a bad idea, thus ending up with
this result.
If I had known, I would have rejected the idea. Shouldn’t be that someone wanted to set me up,
thus setting this trap...
It looked like a hamster, as if coming out of a fairy tale, but it would only be suitable for boys and
girls to ride upon. Even as a slight compromise, a woman riding it would also be alright. But it
definitely wasn’t right for a warrior to ride upon it.
But the surrounding people thought the only one with a strange reaction was Ainz.
Is it a problem with my own aesthetic views, their aesthetic views, or with this world’s aesthetic
views?
Of course, the answer went without saying. As long as the majority thought it was beautiful, then
the one with the wrong aesthetic view must be Ainz.
Because of this, he did not strongly oppose to riding the Virtuous King of the Forest. Also, if he
could let the name of Momon the adventurer become even more impressive, and gain a more
solid position, then it would be even harder to reject the idea. But still——
This is simply a shame play...
