Book 12: Chapter 37
“They’re seriously so cute,” commented Nier.
The children dropped out of Nier’s arms.
Seriously, I thought Nier needed to learn how to hold a child. Otherwise, she might not haven been able to hold her own child.
Nona and Vera didn’t seem to like Nier too much, though. They kept reaching outwards when they were in her arms. They weren’t too willing to approach Nier. Nier clearly had no hostility for them, and she particularly liked kids, but the two of them were very vigilant of her…
‘Are Lucia’s daughters siding with her…?’
Nier gently stroked Nona’s head. Slightly scared, Nona turned her head to look at me and reached out to me with her hand as though she wanted me to hold her. Nier lingered for a moment, and then sighed. She quietly bemoaned, “She doesn’t seem to like me.”
“It’s probably because she’s an elf, so she’s a little vigilant of humans she hasn’t seen before.”
I took over Nona. Nona buried her head in my chest as though she was released from prison. She tightly gripped onto my chest. She didn’t dare to turn around to look at Nier, who was behind her. Nier sighed, and then gently touched her belly. In a blissful tone, she remarked, “But our child will soon be born, Your Majesty. It’ll be soon; it’ll probably be this month. It’ll be no later than next month.”
“Yeah? Your child will probably be very cute, too.”
