After a few days of traveling, they arrived in Clover"s town, the first town he had been to after protecting Clover"s hometown. The two elemental beasts trod heavily on the stone pavements of the streets of the town, the people all turned their head when they noticed them and the two ma.s.sive beasts. Clover was busy talking with a merchant before she noticed Gold and Bella and skipped over to the side of the carriage. Gold smiled as he noticed her."h.e.l.lo Sir Gold."
"h.e.l.lo Clover, please, call me Overlord, that is my real name."
"What?! Wait, slow down, what do you mean?"
"I am Overlord, protector of Goldema, I am moving to my new home in the southern peaks," Gold explained as the elementals stopped, then he hopped down and walked around and helped Bella down, "How have you been? How is Lady Liz?"
"I am fine, she has been doing fine, the shop is doing fine and it is a lot easier to go and collect things in the westwards forest without the guardian attacking, well, Miia," She noticed Bella, "Wait, isn"t that the princess who took care of you?"
"Yep, she and I are married now, even if I am a demiG.o.d, I still have human feelings," Bella hugged his arm and glared at the much smaller Clover. The people crowded around them, realizing that he was the man who had saved them from the Legion of Solar and it"s oppression. The man who owned the inn walked up to him and kneeled in front of Gold.
"Sir Gold, I wanted to thank you again for what you did for our town."
"Against the Legion of Solar? No problem, well, I did end that organization entirely, they are no more, I killed their leaders, now you may live in complete peace."
"Thank you, Sir Gold."
"Please call me Overlord, my real name."
"Over-, Overlord?!" The man lifted his head and looked up at Gold"s face, "You were Overlord the whole time? Is that why you wore that mask?"
"I see you put the pieces of the puzzle together."
"Is that why you helped our town?"
"No, but maybe it was part of it."
"And who is this young lady next to you, Overlord?" The man said as he got up, "I don"t think the legends talked about a mono-eye as one of your servants."
"Please, be a little kind, this is my wife, Bella," Bella smirked and glared at the man, "I am moving to our new home, in the southern peaks."
"Excuse me, Lady Bella."
"I don"t mind," She forced herself to sound calm, "I can see why you made that judgement, don"t worry."
"Do you want a room for the night?" The man offered, "I can set up a room for you two, if you would like of course."
"That would be nice, I"ll pay you in the morning before we leave."
"Of course, anytime you want to pay," He said as he left them. Gold and Bella walked around the market to restock on food for the last part of the trip. Clover and Lady Liz walked up to them.
"h.e.l.lo, Sir Gold."
"Liz, it"s Overlord."
"Wait, he is Overlord, is that why the guardian submitted to him?"
"Liz, it took you that long?" Clover shook her head, "I literally just told you that."
"Is that why you went to get him?"
"Wow, you are slower than I thought," She said suggesting a second sense to her comment. Lady Liz looked offended and Bella tried to hold herself from laughing but failed making Lady Liz blush.
"Enough talking about your personal life," Gold made Liz blush even more, "Is there anything here that you like particularly?"
"What do mean?"
"Like food, Bella and I are going to leave tomorrow morning for the southern peaks, so we need so prepare a little food for the end of our trip."
"Oh, okay then, um, what could you bring during your travels?"
"Do you like sweet or salty?"
"A little of both would be fine."
The elemental creatures stopped in front of the ma.s.sive palace that overlooked all of the southern peaks. Bella"s jaw dropped in awe as she looked up at the palace that towered over them. Gold climbed down from the carriage and helped Bella down, she was still speechless as they walked to the gate.
"Ah, Overlord, Nikholas told me of your arrival."
"Gatekeeper, open the gates."
"He told me I had to open them once you answered a few riddles, how does that sound?" Gold sighed, "He said they should be simple enough for you, Overlord."
"Go ahead then, let"s get this over with."
"Very well, first riddle, who am I? I see everything in reverse, I need something to help me see in the right way, but I am essential for most living creatures, who am I?"
"Eyes."
"In singular please."
"Eye."
"First riddle, now, second riddle, who am I? I am the origin of all life, all of us have one, and the world is one, who am I?"
"What the h.e.l.l is that riddle?" Bella said confused, "How does that make any sense?"
"Mothers."
"In singular once more please."
"Mother."
"Ding-ding-ding, correct answer, I will open the gates," He said as the gates slowly opened, revealing a ma.s.sive courtyard, "Enjoy your stay, Overlord."
"Thank you," He turned to Bella as they walked in followed by the elemental beasts pulling the carriage, "I don"t know how, but Nikholas knows about you."
"What do you mean?"
"Eye, mother? You are a mono-eye, so eyes in singular, and I guess he a.s.sumes you are already pregnant of a child."
"Our child, but I don"t think so," She said as she felt her stomach, "I think that would be for later, maybe once we are completely settled in, what do you think?"
"If you want," He said as he noticed the four servants walking towards them, "Nikholas, how did I guess you would make those G.o.d-awful riddles?"
"Good day sir, your intellect amazes me, you answered those riddles very quickly," He slowly clapped as he walked towards them, "Do you like it?"
"The palace seems pretty impressive, I think Bella likes it as well."
"Master!" Miia leapt onto him causing him to fall to the floor, "I missed you so much, it seemed like it has been 20 years since we were apart, even if it was only for a few days, master," She began whispering, "Who is she?"
Gold held up his hand showing a ring, "My wife."
"Wha?! Do you not like me anymore? I am not good enough for you? Was I too slow? Did I not spend enough time with you?"

"Miia! Stop, and get off of me, I still like you, just it isn"t not the same like, I enjoy your company and you being here, but I love her," Miia got off of him and he rose back to his feet, Bella glared at Miia, "Bella, this is Miia, that is Camille, that is D. B. or Daryu Boros and he is Nikholas."
"Pleasure to meet you, Lady Bella, may I call you my lady?"
"Um, s-sure, I guess."
"Much appreciated," Nikholas bowed.
"h.e.l.lo, Lady Bella, I am Camille, can I call you mistress?"
"Um," She looked at Gold, "Sure, I guess."
"I am Miia," Miia said as she walked over and sat in front of her, "Can I call you mistress as well? To fit master?"
"Sure," She said as she felt the ground tremble and she noticed Daryu Boros kneeling in front of them, "And you are D. B., what do you want to call me?"
"Good day, my lady, I am Daryu Boros, the Diamyo Brute and head guard of the palace, I am glad to meet you."
"Um, sure, glad to meet you as well."
"Nikholas, can you get your demons to bring this to our room?"
"Of course, sir," He snapped and two portals opened in the ground and a dozen of demon brutes climbed out of them, "Let me show you to your room, I have a question, for you, my lady, do you want Incubi servants or simple demon maids?"
"What are incubi?"
"Do you know what Succubi are?"
"The man killers? The female demons?"
"Exactly, well, these are male Succubi, so lady killers."
"No, of course I don"t want them, I would like neutral servants, the same as for Gold," Bella looked at him as if asking him how much of an idiot he was, "Does he have Succubi servants?"
"No, just demon maids, no demon servants, he prefers that."
"Nikholas, skip the details and show us the room."
"It is near the top floor, stairs? Or lift?"
"Lift, this place is ma.s.sive."
"What is "lift"?"
