When it came to loyalty toward the supreme ruler of Nazarick Underground Great Tomb, anyone from Nazarick Underground Great Tomb could proudly and confidently tell the world that they would never betray him.
It was precisely because they possessed such intense loyalty that everyone present was so enraged by Shalltear's betrayal.
Surely everyone, including Albedo and Demiurge, believed that Shalltear's betrayal was trampling upon that loyalty?

Moreover, even if it had been against her will, Shalltear had indeed betrayed the supreme ruler of Nazarick Underground Great Tomb.
No matter the reason, it could not persuade the NPCs of Nazarick Underground Great Tomb to understand.

If they were subjected to mind control, then what could they do, no matter how unwilling they were?
In the end, would they not still have betrayed Noah?
The NPCs of Nazarick Underground Great Tomb were not afraid of death.
Compared to having their minds controlled and betraying Noah, these NPCs would rather die.

Only then did the NPCs of Nazarick Underground Great Tomb suppress their emotions and calm down.
"Sorry, Lord Noah." Albedo
