“Freya.”
Freya gracefully turned around to face Nier, who called out to her from behind. She asked with a smile, “Miss Nier, is something the matter?”
Freya’s line of sight was on Nier’s bulging belly. She then asked with a smile, “Are you feeling unwell?”
Nier shook her head and replied, “No, it’s not about my health. Have you seen Lucia? I went to look for her just now, but I discovered she wasn’t in her room.”
