Elizabeth was trembling all over, not out of fear, of course; she simply didn't have the mind to be afraid.
After all, the person standing in front of her now was the second person Elizabeth wanted to see, Xiao Di.
Aaaaaah!!
Incidentally, Elizabeth is currently kneeling on the ground, bound by various strange halos, with two death knights standing guard behind her.
Elizabeth herself was just a pale, skeletal skeleton. At least she was wearing armor before, but after being captured by Sister Yuri, her armor was removed.
Weapons? I dropped them just as I was about to run away.
Although it makes no difference to the little skeleton whether she wears armor or not, Elizabeth is still a girl. Even though she's a skeleton now, she still has a tiny bit of shame, just a tiny bit.
"Yuri Alpha? May I ask what you mean by this?" Demiurge looked at the scene and asked Yuri Alpha with some curiosity.
"Lord Demiurge, we discovered something amiss while Lord Ainz's skeletal army was assembling, and we've come to report." Yuri glanced at Elizabeth before lowering her head again.
Uh… I remember Yuri was the Headless Horseman, right?
"Won't your head fall off if you keep bowing like that?" Elizabeth wondered.
"Hmm... is this the anomaly you were talking about?" Xiao Di's gaze fell on Elizabeth.
Oh no! I've been stared at by Xiao Di!! And it's...
Elizabeth was even more excited at the thought of this.
"Yes, Lord Demiurge. This skeletal warrior created by Lord Ainz suddenly deserted and attempted to escape, so I captured him," Yuri explained.
"It almost smashed my head in..." Elizabeth thought to herself, since she couldn't make a sound and could only complain in her mind.
"Escape? Yuri Alpha, please describe the situation in detail." A look of surprise flashed across Xiao Di's face.
This couldn't escape Elizabeth's eyes. It's normal for Xiaodi to be surprised, since the skeletal warriors created by Lord Anzi have no thoughts.
Anzi is someone who would definitely die if told to, so it's surprising that one of them suddenly ran away! I'm really sorry, Xiaodi.
Sister Yuri recounted in detail how she discovered that Elizabeth was acting strangely and how she captured Elizabeth.
As for why Sister Yuri didn't smash Elizabeth's head with a single punch, it was explained that Sister Yuri saw Elizabeth's reaction as that of a normal, intelligent being, and feared that Elizabeth was a spy, so she spared her life.
"Yes, I understand the details. Yuri Alpha, you did a good job. You can go now." Xiao Di gave the instruction after listening to Yuri's report.
Hmm? After Sister Yuri goes out, doesn't that mean she can be alone with Xiaodi? Elizabeth was even more excited.
Sister Yuli bowed to Xiaodi, then turned and left, leaving Xiaodi and the two Death Knights guarding her behind.
Tsk... You two are still here! Get lost!
Facing a level 100 Xiao Di, there's nothing I, a level 20 skeleton, can do. Don't interfere with my time alone with Xiao Di! That's what Eliza thought.
"So... who are you!" Xiao Di's tone became serious.
My name is Elizabeth, and I come from Xilin City, Xilin County. I currently attend Ryumon High School. My parents are alive and well, and I have a younger brother. I also have a Teddy bear named Clem...
After hearing Xiao Di's question, Elizabeth couldn't help but think of these things, and was "forced" by a force like a compulsion to tell everything about herself that she had thought of.
Unfortunately... Elizabeth's body is unable to speak.
This... this is Xiaodi's Word of Power, right?
After Elizabeth recovered from the spell cast by Xiao Di, she realized that Xiao Di had cast a spell on her! What a pity, she couldn't speak in this body.
"Hmm...it didn't work?" Xiao Di became wary when she saw that her words of power had no effect on Elizabeth.
"It works! It works incredibly well! I almost went through the entire family tree I knew just now." Elizabeth shook her head in agreement.
It seems that Elizabeth's head-shaking gesture caught Xiao Di's attention.
"Hmm... Interesting. Can you understand what I'm saying?" Xiao Di asked.
Elizabeth nodded. Of course she could understand, she just couldn't speak!
At this moment, Xiao Di snapped his fingers, and the auras that had been restricting Elizabeth's movements disappeared instantly.
After all, she had been kneeling, so once the restraint was removed, Elizabeth naturally relaxed and slumped down, adopting a very standard female duck-sitting posture.
Seeing her girlish sitting posture, Xiao Di became even more interested in Elizabeth's skeleton, though she didn't show it on the surface.
The undead army created by Lord Ainz is inherently devoid of thought, a fact that Demiurge was well aware of.
This one, however, was clearly different from the two Death Knights created by Lord Ainz standing behind him. To him, this skeleton seemed more like a sentient being than the two puppet-like Death Knights behind him.
Although he was initially wary of this thing, the magical power emanating from it was indeed the same as that of Lord Ainz, so Demiurge released it from its restraints.
Could this be... another trial given to me by Lord Ainz?
Although he had never heard of Ainz-sama being able to create skeletal warriors with self-awareness, Ainz-sama was still an unfathomable being! Anything was possible! Demiurge thought to himself.
"So... were you created by Lord Ainz?" Demiurge asked.
After thinking for a moment, Elizabeth figured that her body must have been created by Lord Anko, so she nodded.
"Can you speak?" Xiao Di continued to ask.
Elizabeth shook her head to indicate that she couldn't. It was indeed inconvenient not being able to speak; she didn't even have a tongue... so she couldn't 'lick' anymore, Elizabeth thought.
"Interesting…" A glint flashed in Demiurge's eyes. It was clear that this skeletal warrior was indeed a "creature" with intelligence and self-awareness, and perhaps… it could even perform that experiment on him.
Wait a minute!! Oh, I see!!
As expected of Lord Ainz! It turns out that everything I've done is under Lord Ainz's control!
Demiurge was shocked. He never expected that he had planned to report his meticulous and secretive experiment to Lord Ainz only when it had made some progress.
I never imagined that Lord Ainz already knew all along, and even arranged for me to have such a skeletal warrior! And in this way at that.
As expected of Lord Ainz!
Seeing that Xiao Di hadn't spoken for a long time, Elizabeth was quite puzzled. Wasn't she supposed to be interrogating her? Why wasn't she saying anything?
At this very moment, Demiurge was inwardly worshipping Lord Ainz... something Elizabeth was naturally unaware of.
Since it's Lord Ainz's kindness, I must go and thank him in person!
Demiurge thought this to himself, then immediately turned and left, leaving a bewildered Eliza sitting there.
