Book 11: Chapter 46
“Nier, where is Mommy Elizabeth?”
“Her Majesty?” Nier raised her head up from my chest. She clasped my face and replied with a smile. “Her Majesty has returned to Hilles City. She is the Empress, after all. Her Majesty definitely has her own work, so she probably won’t come to Troy City for some time. The North has just been captured, after all, so they are definitely thinking about how to take the North.”
“They won’t be getting any share of the North. The North belongs to me; I captured the North. There’s no way I’ll let others divide it among themselves. It’s my reward for my victory. I won’t let anybody lay their hands on it.” I coldly looked toward Hilles City. I then apologetically stroked Nier’s face. “I’m sorry if that happened, Nier. If she has left, that means you’ve been here all alone after Freya left, as well. You must’ve felt very lonely.”
“Uhm… But I’m fine now that you’re back. I am your wife. I can bear it.”
I kissed her cheek. “It’s my fault for making my wife suffer from loneliness. I won’t let it happen again. I won’t let you feel lonely again, my Nier. The North has been captured. All that’s left to do is to settle things down, and then we’ll be able to always be together.”
“Uhm!” Nier nodded very cheerfully, and then gave me a kiss on my lips.
I felt that my lips were swollen after kissing for several hours. I really liked the feeling, though. Kissing Nier, kissing my wife was very blissful, and… and Nier’s lips were very soft.
Nier released me. “How is Lucia?”
“Not very good. Her two kids are virtually absorbing every drop of mana from her. Just staying alive is a struggle for her at the moment. She needs to rely on highly pure mana to live, so she is virtually unconscious all day. She can only wake up if she’s fed the spring water.”
