Book 4: Chapter 53
Alice turned around and reacted with shock. In front of her was Nier whose face was covered in tears. She was desperately biting down on her lips to prevent herself from crying. In fact, her lips were bleeding. Her blood and tears were mixed in together as they ran down her face together.
Alice walked up to Nier’s side, and pressed on Nier’s lips. She asked: “What’s wrong, Nier? What happened?”
“I don’t feel too well… My heart aches. It hurts so much. I can’t control it either. I just keep having an urge to cry.” Nier cried as she looked at Alice. Big drops of tears dropped down. Alice helped her wipe away her tears and patted her back. Nier’s shaky legs almost gave in. Nier did her absolute best to resist crying. Alice looked at the young girl in front of her sympathetically but she didn’t know the reason.
“Let’s go. I’ll take you back to the outer court.”
Alice supported Nier. Nier leaned on Alice as she sobbed. Alice didn’t know why Nier was like this. Nier bleeds and she’ll die, but she’s never seen Nier cry. Nier never cried even when she got hurt in training.
But Nier was crying like a kid right now. She had never thought Nier could cry like this. What exactly happened with Nier?
“Ah, Miss Nier!”
When they arrived back at the outer court, they saw Luna who was holding a candle as she stood at the entrance waiting for his majesty’s return. Alice frowned and passed Nier to Luna. Nier hugged Luna tightly and cried loudly in her arms. Luna smiled helplessly as she comforted Nier. Alice made a small bow and said: “I’ll leave Nier in your care for now. I need to return to guard her majesty.”
“Oh, alright. Thank you.”
