*Main article: Overlord First Half Arc*
Nimble hurried on Hippogriff to the Imperial Castrum where the Imperial Army was stationed at the Katze Plains to start the Annual Wars with the Re-Estize Kingdom. There he was greeted by an entourage of ten knights. He was taken to General Natel Inyem Dale Carvain, where he informed his comrade of the newest developments. In that Archduke Ainz Ooal Gown would be leading the coming battle. His timing was perfect as no sooner did he deliver the news, the Archduke had arrived to the base with his servants Fluder Paradyne and Aura Debay Fiora. There he presented a formal letter to Ainz, though the Archduke stated he would look at it at another time. He watched to his horror when the Archduke summoned three hundred Death Knights for his army.

### Overlord Second Half Arc

*Main article: Overlord Second Half Arc*
There he witnessed the horrifying Massacre at Katze Plains and after overseeing the battle with the Kingdom, he had to return to the capital immediately. He rode a magic beast capable of flight to meet the Emperor and report the number of causalities from both sides. His report brought waves of shock to the Emperor and his retainers at how powerful Ainz Ooal Own truly was.

Afterwards he witnessed Jircniv's personal gift to the Archduke, a Pure White Sleipnir slam a hoof in the magic caster's face. He drew a sword to prepare and kill the beast for the offense, but to the shock of everyone, Ainz was unharmed and accepted the horse, intending to break it.

Later he visited the Archduke's manor, and was taken by seeing Ainz's skeletal hand. The noble quickly stated that it was an illusion, though the knight was not so sure. There he watched Ainz reveal the maids the Empire had sent as spies and warned them of any attempts to fish information from him will not be tolerated. Nimble knowing this was the several nobles' doing, begged for forgiveness. To his relief the Archduke believed him and commanded the traitorous maids to go back to kill their former employers. The sheer brutally of it caused Nimble to innately fear Ainz.

Later he served as Ainz Ooal Gown's guide to Arwintar after the Archduke settled in his mansion. While Ainz went incognito as a commoner with Solution and Narberal as his attendant, Nimble guided them through the city's central market. While he was getting some items of food for the Archduke and his maids to try, Nimble was briefly separated from them missing out on an attempt by assassins.

Nimble's lack of attentiveness was brought up when he was summoned by the Emperor in a secret meeting.
