Book 7: Chapter 9
“Ss!”
Nier hissed in cold air as she looked at the blood coming out of her hand after she pricked it. Luna placed the things in her hands down and grabbed Nier’s hand. Nier chuckled and said: “It’s nothing, Luna. I licked blood off my blade back then, so this is nothing.”
Luna looked at her, smiled helplessly and said: “Princess, this sort of protective talisman is a lie. It is useless. There is no need for you to waste time on it.”
Nier shook her head with a smile. She picked up the talisman and looked at it affectionately. She softly explained: “Her majesty made his majesty a scarf that he still wears now. I can’t be by his side to protect him this time so I’m worried. I’ll feel a little better if I give this to his majesty.”
“Princess, you need not worry about his majesty since he has not said that he will go.”
Nier shook her head then looked at Luna and replied with a smile: “He will. Do you still not know him well enough? When has he backed down due to danger? When I was his bodyguard, I really hated that habit of his…… But now that I think about it, he looked really suave at the time.”
Luna placed the talisman down and grinned shyly. However, she quickly realised that there was something wrong and quickly wiped her grin off her face. She stood up in a flustered fashion, made a small bow and said: “Princess, it is late now. You should rest. It is not good for you to sleep late. I shall not disturb your rest.”
“It’s fine, it’s fine. I want to practice some more. I haven’t’ lined this part up yet……”
“That will not do, princess. You cannot do that.” Luna sternly refused her and went on in a stern tone, “Your business is no longer your business alone but the entire palace’s business. I cannot be lax with things that have to do with you. If I loosen my control on you then everyone in the palace will reprimand me. You need to rest for your child, and most importantly, there is still his majesty to consider. He definitely does not want to see you like this!”
