Book 7: Chapter 34
“Your Majesty”
“Luna…”
I turned my head around and saw Luna slowly walking over, using an Earth Dragon as support, so I stood up to help her. Luna went along with me and leaned into my arms. I held Luna in my arms, sat down and leaned on the sleeping Earth Dragon. I looked at the fire before me and spaced out. Luna was wrapped up in a thick woollen blanket and curled up in my arms. She breathed softly and gripped my chest tightly with one hand.
‘I had stopped caring about how my Guard Unit saw me. It was just as Lorana said. If we’re all in this together, a little bit of romance is nothing. I don’t care even if they do spot us together anymore.’
‘I was planning to maintain a master and servant relationship with Luna from now. Luna didn’t want to be like Nier and Lucia, either. She knew that she could never be together with me, given what her body was subjected to in the past. The agreement we had let us live peacefully for a long time, but all of that went with the wind, after I held her beautiful and weak body just now. I discovered a different feeling with Luna than with Nier and Lucia. I did it to save Luna, but then I couldn’t hold myself back from kissing Luna’s lips.’
‘Just how shameless am I?’
Luna’s condition showed immediate improvement as if her body rebooted its functioning. After her body began recovering, we looked into each other’s eyes. Luna then took the initiative to kiss my lips. While we were still sober, we stuck to each other, but not out of pity or necessity.
Our relationship finally crumbled in the end. I’m married. I have Nier and Lucia. I had Nier’s protective talisman on me, yet I tore down the wall between Luna and myself.
‘How are we going to face each other from now? How am I going to face my wives? I don’t know.’
