Book 8: Chapter 40
“Royal Capital!”
Philes looked at me with a blank look. Vyvyan placed me onto the bed and hushed him. His cute face showed his disbelief. He looked at Vyvyan and whispered, “Umm… Your Highness, what happened…? Do we need to rally up the unit……?”
“Well, there’s no problem with you rallying up the army, but your group may not be able to defeat Elizabeth.”
Vyvyan said that in a faint voice then left the room with him and gently shut the door. Nier and Lucia looked at Vyvyan. After hesitating for a moment, Lucia asked, “Your Highness, what are we returning to Troy City for?”
“This is my son’s home. We have to sort some things out before we can return to the elven Imperial Capital.” Vyvyan provided a simple explanation then looked at Nier and said, “Nier, though you are neither my child nor an elf, you are one of the girls my son loves most. After we return to the elven Imperial Capital, you may never be able to return to humanity’s lands. Are you sure you want to come?”
Nier nodded and resolutely replied, “I am okay with it. I will follow my husband wherever he goes. It does not matter where we go as long as I can be with him. I do not mind where we go or how life is.”
“All right. I’ll go back and make some preparations.”
Vyvyan then stroked Nier’s. She softly laughed, “You girls should spend some more time by my son’s side these days. He doesn’t have a personal servant anymore, as well, so those jobs will fall on your shoulders for now. Mom really wants to stay, but Mom has to make a trip back to prepare things for after his return.”
“We understand.”
