The third season of the anime series "Overlord" is scheduled to begin airing in the summer of 2018. It is a much-talked-about work, with both the original novel and the anime having been huge hits. The wide variety of characters and the detailed worldview are highlights that make it even more interesting. In this article, we will focus on the country that appears in Overlord, the Kingdom of Re-Estize.
What is the Re-Estize Kingdom?

The Re-Estize Kingdom is a country of about 9 million human beings. In the world of Overlord, where many countries exist and are adjacent to each other, it is the country with the largest area, the biggest scale, and the oldest history. The Kingdom of Re-Estize is ruled by the royal family of Vayself, with Rampossa III currently as king. Carne Village, where Ainz first came into contact with humans, is also part of the territory of the Kingdom of Re-Estize.

Rampossa III of the Weiself royal family, who currently rules the Kingdom of Re-Estize. He is 60 years old and has been king for 39 years. He has an emaciated, unhealthy build, white hair, and a very pale complexion. He is old enough to inherit the throne, but is unable to do so because he knows that the first and second princes will be at the mercy of the nobles if they take the throne. As a king, he is safe and has no major successes or failures. He is a king who has a lot of trouble paying the price for problems that his predecessors put off. He trusts Gazef Stronoff very much.
Eldest son, Barbro Andrean Yeld Lyle Weiself
Barbro Andrean Yeld Lyle Weiself is the first prince of the Kingdom of Re-Estize. He is competing with the second prince, Zanac, for the throne. He is married, has a daughter, has neatly groomed hair, and a good physique. He is weaker as a warrior than Climb, Renner's aide, but is strong among the royal family. He is aware that he cannot beat the intelligence of the second prince, Zanac, and is often impatient.

Zanac Valleon Igana Lyle Weiself, the second prince of the Re-Estize Kingdom. He is fighting with the first prince, Barbro, for the throne. He is chubby and has a mean look in his eyes. He has a deep relationship with Marquis Reeven and has a firm grasp of the current state of the kingdom. He is one of the few people who knows the sexual tendencies and hidden side of the third daughter, Renner. He is smarter than the first prince, Barbro, but he knows that the third daughter, Renner, is smarter, so he often consults her. Renner herself is not interested in the throne, but she has made a deal with Zanac, who knows her true identity, and is cooperating with him in exchange for something when Zanac takes the throne. There is a very high possibility that Zanac will become king in the future.
Marquis Pespea and the First Princess
One of the six great nobles of the Kingdom of Re-Estize, who married the first princess of King Rampossa III. He has not appeared in public much, so details are unknown, but he is a beautiful boy and not exactly thin. Pespea's father was very talented, so it is expected that he will be the same.
Second Princess Details Unknown
He has a second daughter, but details are not known because they have not been made public.

Characteristics of the Third Princess Renner

Renner was born as the third princess of Rampossa III. She is so beautiful that she is called "golden." She has golden hair, blue eyes, healthy white skin, and a smile as beautiful as a cherry blossom, so beautiful that it is said that she is too beautiful to paint a portrait. He has a gentle personality and is highly regarded and popular because he implements policies that are beneficial to the ruled. However, he is not good at maneuvering and communicating with people.
The Other Side of Renner

Renner is a perfect human being, but he has a hidden side. His true form, which only a few people, including the second prince Zanac, have ever seen, is so different that he is described as a hideous monster, becoming an alien presence. Unlike his public face, he is able to smile no matter what happens to the people and those around him as long as it is in his own interest, and he feels no regret or guilt whatsoever. His talent blossomed during his childhood, but his intellect is so incredible it seems impossible for a human to understand, and he begins to say things that those around him cannot understand.
Considerations on the connection between Renner and Nazarick

After reading Sebas' report, who had infiltrated the kingdom, Demiurge became interested in Renner, who was a different kind of being, and contacted her. They then discussed the information provided and the outline of the operation to attack the Eight Fingers. Even during the "Gehenna" that shook the kingdom, it seems that they respected each other's interests and carried out the operation. Nazarick has financial and material advantages, while Renner's side has the advantage due to Climb's completion of a super-dangerous mission, the second prince's fighting, and the king himself going to the battlefield. Gehenna was a rigged match between Renner and Demiurge.
Introducing Renner in the future [Spoiler]
Renner's intelligence is beyond human, and is on a 50-50 level with Albedo and Demiurge. The author's king excellence is the highest out of 12 characters (not understood). By the way, Ainz, also known as Suzuki Go, is the lowest (average person). His extraordinary intelligence was recognized in Nazarick, and he has been connected to Nazarick since Gehenna. Furthermore, Ainz rewarded him for his achievements in Gehenna, and it is said that he will be given a status equal to that of a floor guardian in the future, although it is conditional. I hope that she will prove to be just as useful to Ainz as Albedo and Demiurge in the future.
The Future of the Re-Estize Kingdom

The current Re-Estize Kingdom is in a state of decline due to a labor shortage caused by conscription of citizens in the long war with the Baharuth Empire, as well as conflicts between the royal faction and the noble faction within the country, and the expansion of criminal organizations. It has become an old nation that is about to be destroyed. Taking advantage of this, the Baharuth Empire will invade and further weaken the country. I think the second prince will take the throne, but it will be interesting to see how he rises from there.
Summary of the Royal Family of the Kingdom of Re-Estize

This time, we focused on the royal family of the Kingdom of Re-Estize and the surrounding circumstances. The key to the Re-Estize Kingdom will be the third princess, Renner, and Climb. I'm really looking forward to seeing how they will be involved with Nazarick. After this in the novel version, things will become tragic for the Re-Estize Kingdom, so if you're interested, be sure to read the novel. That's all for now. Thank you for reading.
