I just finished season 1 and started the still ongoing season 2 from the anime
and I loved Shalltear's character.

Now I wonder, were there any quotes in the light novel where it is shown
Shalltear loves Ainz? Either through verbal or physical acts? Like blushing
when Ainz's nearby, or fighting Albedo to marry him... I take it that the
light novels might include more moments like these than the anime.

It seems that what I've watched so far covers volumes 1-4, so I am mainly
looking for occurrences from those 4 volumes. Any other suggestions are still
welcome as long as they don't include spoilers. Namely, all quotes are
accepted if they don't spoil the story.

How much does Shalltear love Ainz? (All quotes from the source material)


Together with Albedo, Shalltear madly fell in love with Ainz. In the Overlord
world, there is a great number of quotes where it is shown Shalltear loves
Ainz, so making a complete list would be a very difficult task to deal with.
But I can quickly search for 3 quotes from the volumes you asked for, one for
each volume, to comply with your request in a reasonable way.

Official translation made by Yen press. Author: Kugane Maruyama. Official
translator of the Overlord series: Emily Balistrieri. Quote from volume 2,
just before the first part of “two adventurers” starts.

**“The reason for their conflict was that they were rivals in love. Both
Albedo and Shalltear had fallen for Ainz—i.e., he was loved by two
incomparable beauties. What guy wouldn’t be happy about that?”**

Shalltear and Albedo want to become Ainz’s wife, spending the rest of their
lives in a romantic relationship with him. I’ll skip their insults to one
another and just point out their final agreement.

Official translation, volume 1. Intermission before chapter 3 starts.

**“The fight…is over. Now they’re just—” “The issue is simply who will be his
first wife.” “We concluded that it would be bizarre for the absolute ruler of
the Great Tomb of Nazarick to have only one queen. But now we have to decide
who his primary will—”**

They start rallying allies from Nazarick that will support their love for him.
No other servant wants to marry him, but some of them take sides, supporting
either Albedo or Shalltear’s love for Ainz.

Official translation, volume 3, chapter 1, just before part 4 starts.
Shalltear says this.

**“Yes, I will do a splendid job carrying out the duties Lord Ainz bestowed
upon me, and my praises he will sing: ‘Nice job. You’re my most precious
slave.’ And then he’ll say, ‘You are the one most fit to stand at my side.’”**

In general, Shalltear likes to daydream that, one day, he’ll choose her, and
then they will get married, spend the rest of their lives together and become
a happy family with their sons and daughters. She doesn’t want to marry anyone
who’s not Ainz, she’ll wait her whole life to become his wife and she’s very
loyal to him.

Shalltear loves Momonga and would easily give her life for him no matter what
the situation is. But what's really interesting is that she would put anything
at risk to build a romantic relationship between her and Ainz. Albedo and
Shalltear are his most devoted servants, and this is shown in situations where
servants are asked what they would be able to give to be close to Ainz
etcetera. All servants would like to hang around with Momonga, but no one can
beat those 2. If need be, they will sink to an incredibly low level because,
as stated in the series when talking about them, women in love will do
anything. Shalltear loving Ainz does not have to entail reciprocal love, but
let's hope Momonga becomes at least a little more bold in the volumes to come.

`Revision` \- I had already finished writing the documents a while back, but I
now thought that giving a general overview would be good. Once you click on
either the word [Pastebin](https://pastebin.com/6XCWndr5) or [Google
Docs](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RkUhqncZhr6SMu8mKPKQ4REro45-poUAAPso9KaUH-U/view)
you’ll be redirected to the main page, which contains very relevant
instructions, so please read it first. This will lead to a complete
understanding of the heart of my answer to your question: Quotes from Drama
CDs, Quotes from Side Stories, Quotes from light novels (volumes 1-4), Quotes
from light novels (volume 11). After that, there are the final conclusions on
Shalltear’s love for Ainz.

As a side note, I recently answered another question in this forum about
Overlord’s translation, so I decided to also edit these files so that they
include the comparison between the official translation and the fan
translation in more detail.

* * *

If you just wait for a few days, I'll give you many pages worth of such
sentences as well as a full analysis on Shalltear's love for Ainz. I'm linking
my own [Pastebin](https://pastebin.com/6XCWndr5) and [Google
Docs](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RkUhqncZhr6SMu8mKPKQ4REro45-poUAAPso9KaUH-U/view)
for that purpose. (Right now they're visibly empty, but it will take me very
few days to gather enough material to create a very long document)

In the meantime, I will explain one of quotes from Bhavin as it's quite
revealing. I'll also quote a conversation between Shalltear and a death knight
from the side story "Emissary of the king" that the author wrote.

> この二人の対立は恋敵であることに起因している。 アインズはアルべドとシャルティア、両者から惚れられていた。絶世の美女二人に愛される。これ
> を喜ばない男はいないだろう。

This sentence that Bhavin mentioned (from volume 2 of the light novels) is
very beautiful.

[code]

    この = These
    二人 = two people
    の = possessive marker
    対立 = opposition
    は = subject marker
    恋敵 = rivals in love
    であること = the fact that
    に = from
    起因している = originates
    
[/code]

All together...

These two's opposition originates from the fact that they are rivals in love.

[code]

    アインズ = Ainz
    は = subject marker
    アルべド = albedo
    と = and
    シャルティア = shalltear
    両者 = both
    から = from/by
    惚れられていた = to be in love with
    
[/code]

All together,

About Ainz, to be loved by both Albedo and Shalltear

[code]

    絶世の美女 = peerless beauty
    二人 = 2 people
    に = from
    愛される = loved
    これ = this
    を = grammar marker
    喜ばない = not be happy
    男 = man
    は = subject marker
    いない = doesn’t exist
    だろう = most likely
    
[/code]

All together,

Loved by two peerless beauties, to not be happy of this, most likely there
doesn't exist a man.

The reason the sentence is so beautiful is because the author used a different
kind of love each time, showing how complete Albedo and Shalltear's love for
Ainz is.

恋敵 ( _koigataki_ ) = it uses _koi_ , which can only mean romantic love. They
fell in love with Ainz in a romantic way, the way you would feel for your
boyfriend /girlfriend. It is always 100% romantic.

惚れる ( _horeru_ ) = to be in love with/to be infatuated with or consumed by
(romantic.) The romantic feeling is very strong on all occasions. The usual
translation would be to "fall in love with" but context should be taken into
consideration. The next love word used makes it clear it means “to fall in
love with” with a very strong feeling of infatuation as well.

愛される ( _aisareru_ ) which means a very deep type of love (to be loved by.) The
word "愛" is the standard word for love in Japanese. However, Japanese VERY
rarely say this word, and some people go their whole life without saying it.
So it has come to have quite a deep meaning, you will almost always see _suki_
used in the place of _ai_. Unlike the other 2, this type of love doesn't
necessarily have to be just romantic when referring to another person, though
it's even rarer to use it for family or a friend.

So far, Albedo and Shalltear are the only floor masters that have shown the
first 2 kinds of love. The third type of love should also include romantic
love in their case.

* * *

Regarding the conversation I said I was going to quote, it is from the side
story "Emissary of the King" that Maruyama wrote. Ainz sends one of his
servants, a death knight, to ask the floor masters what it is they really
desire. Shalltear is a bit skeptical at first.

> "Then… Is the reason you came to me first because I am the furthest away

> It wasn't like that. The Death Knight told her what his master had said,

> normal for a great man to claim many women for himself. It would be
> surprising if any woman could resist an absolutely amazing man like Ainz-
> sama. However, I want to be the first in his heart."

(Later, Ainz-sama’s servant goes back to Ainz and tells him what happened and
what she desires.)

> "Very well. Then let me hear the answer to the last question." As he heard
> Shalltear's answer, Ainz sagged like a puppet whose strings had been cut.
> "... Besides Ainz. Append that to the last question the next time you ask
> it. Understood?"

(Later, the death knight servant goes to Cocytus and asks)

> "What do you want… besides Ainz-sama." Cocytus seemed to grin at the
> addition. "…I. See. Someone. Asked. For. That. It. Must. Have been. Albedo.
> Or. Shalltear."

(Each servant wants a different thing: Aura wants magical beasts, Mare wants
plants… On the other hand, Albedo and Shalltear love Ainz too much, and they
may never get their wish granted.)
