## Chronology

### The Witch of the Falling Kingdom Arc

*Main article: The Witch of the Falling Kingdom Arc*
When Hilma had been summarily dumped unto his estate, he along with Endio and Oscas immediately went to see her condition. To their astonishment she was unharmed. Hilma mentioned meeting the Sorcerer King Ainz Ooal Gown, he and the others became fearful and eyed the room afraid of eavesdroppers. But when she stated that it was the Sorcerer King who spared her they grew confused as much of their intel suggested he was a merciless monster. Noah continued to ask her questions on what she saw, thinking she may be under mind control. However, Hilma was still lost in the reality that she was spared by the Sorcerer King, holding her gratitude for such a sovereign. He was soon drawn to the idea of such a leader and her words convinced him and the others to work harder to show their loyalty.

A day after the Re-Estize Kingdom deployed its 400,000 manned army, Noah and his colleagues: Hilma Cygnaeus, Prian Polson, and Olin awaited at a secure mansion for a representative from the Sorcerer King to arrive. Prior to the Sorcerer King's force mobilizing he and his fellows were ordered to select a thousand people from the Re-Estize Kingdom and be given sanctuary in the Sorcerer Kingdom. As they waited Olin questioned if they would be truly rescued before the Kingdom was destroyed. Though Hilma declared her confidence in the Sorcerer King, making the other man nervous on her newfound loyalties and remain silent. The group's discussion were intruded by Ampetif Cocco Doll who was recently rescued from the Kingdom's authorities. While the other man was grateful for being saved from the draft in the Kingdom's army he was suspicious on their new behavior and suspected them to be impostors. Noah merely answered that their change in demeanor was due to the hell they experience. When an [Gate] opened in the room, Shalltear Bloodfallen had arrived and stated that the time to retrieve them was now. Olin immediately ran to gather the chosen refugees to prepare for departure. When Shalltear brought forth a Shadow Demon from the room, Noah hastily decided to introduce Shalltear to Cocco Doll, but the vampire wished to turn her attention to the matter at hand first. After he, his fellows and the people were transported through the [Gate] to their new village, Shalltear attention turned to Cocco Doll. Noah and the remaining Executives watched as Cocco Doll was taken to Nazarick for his own session of 'Black Baptism' with Kyouhukou.
