Episode 7 of Overlord Season 2 deals with the complicated dynamics of power, loyalty, and morality within the kingdom and the influence of Nazarick.

The episode begins with Momon (Ainz's alter ego) facing financial challenges due to his various endeavors. Meanwhile, Gazef Stronoff, who regards Ainz as his savior, makes contact with Climb, the bodyguard of Princess Renner. Despite Climb's humble origins and limited experience, Gazef recognizes his potential and abilities, particularly in combat.

Climb's role is crucial, as he serves Princess Renner, who is referred to as a "monster" by her own brother, the second prince. The narrative paints a picture of a kingdom plagued by corruption, where kings, nobles, and the criminal organization Eight Fingers engage in deceitful dealings. This backdrop highlights the moral decay in the kingdom, despite the presence of noble individuals like Climb and Gazef.

Princess Renner, portrayed as one of the few virtuous leaders, is determined to eradicate corruption in the kingdom. However, lacking military support, she relies on the help of capable individuals like the adventurers of Blue Rose. Renner is involved in strategic planning with Blue Rose and contemplates the group's next steps against Eight Fingers. She expresses concern about Lakyus Aindra's involvement in these operations, fearing it may damage her reputation.

At the same time, Sebas, who lives with Solution in a villa, faces a moral dilemma. He has hired Tuare as a maid, much to Solution's displeasure. Solution's disdain for humanity starkly contrasts with Sebas's empathy, as he views Tuare as merely an inconvenience or potential threat.

A crisis arises when shady figures demand Tuare's return. These individuals show no regard for Tuare's well-being, aligning with Solution's indifference. However, Sebas advocates for Tuare's safety, and his considerable strength usually ensures he gets his way.

During a contemplative walk, Sebas's absence prompts Solution to take an unusual step: she contacts Lord Ainz and raises concerns about Sebas's loyalty. This action raises questions about Solution's motives and her perception of Sebas's actions.
