Book 5: Chapter 43
Luna grabbed the horse’s reins and anxiously shouted at me, “Your Majesty! Your Majesty!! Your body is still very weak!! You have not yet recovered! You cannot do anything vigorous in your current state!”
“I need to find Lucia. I need to find my love. I love Lucia. I won’t let her leave. I need to tell her. I need to tell her how much I love her! I want to be by Lucia’s side even if I pass out or die! This was my fault! I must explain it to Lucia!”
Nier who was behind me dawdled for a while before softly saying, “Do you think that being with me is a mistake, Your Majesty? If you think so, I shall back out…”
“What nonsense is that?! I won’t allow you to think like that! Nier, you know I love you!!” I continued with frustration, “Nier, I hereby order you to love only me in the future. I will love you, too, and I won’t betray your love or do anything that is considered betrayal towards you. I will stay by your side and not leave. But the same applies to Lucia.”
Nier froze up. A relieved smile slowly crept up onto her face. She made a small bow. With a hint of joy, she respectfully said, “Understood, Your Majesty. I shall love only you, respect you, and support all of your decisions from now. However, you must allow me to come with you this time. I shall help you bring Miss Lucia back.”
“Alright. You don’t have to worry now, Luna. Nier will be coming with me.”
“Miss Nier’s condition is worse than yours!! I will only be more worried about both of you going together!” Luna didn’t show any signs of letting go.
Freya sighed from behind and said, “Let go, Luna. Her Majesty and Her Highness probably wouldn’t be able to stop onii-sama from doing what he wants, either. We should just have faith in him. Moreover, if you don’t let him go, he’ll probably hate you for eternity.”
“That’s right, Luna. Let him go.”
