Book 13: Chapter 46
I solemnly said, “Nier, I still want to go.”
Nier sat up from the ground and, hopeless, she sighed: “Did you go see Lucia? Why is that that you randomly get excited every time after seeing her? Dear, do you really want to go?”
I affirmatively nodded: “Ah, I do. I won’t let you go alone. I’ll come with you. Nier, I really want to go. I want to witness this. I want to kill the wyrm for myself; not for Ying and Xia. Just for myself. Nier, I really want to go. I really want to go!”
Nier let out a heavy sigh: “I shall choose to do my best, since you have made your decision. Dear, we shall go, as you want to slay it, but you must keep yourself safe. Don’t let anything happen to you.”
I nodded, and then walked up to Nier’s side to give her a gentle hug. She didn’t speak or hug me back. She just stayed in my embrace. I gently stroked her back then softly asked, “What’s wrong, Nier. Are you angry?”
“Mm,” responded Nier, in a muffled voice. She chose to be forthright: “I’m truly very angry. I’m not angry at you but myself, and I’m jealous. I’m jealous of Lucia. I’m the same as her. I’m your wife, as well, and you promised to not be bias, but I’m still very jealous of her.”
“Why?”
That was what I afraid of most when it came to my wives. I treated Lucia and Nier the same way. I was afraid of one of them would say I was bias towards one of them. I, therefore, did my best to spend the same amount of time with each of them and split things evenly between them. I felt that was treating them equally.
“Because…” replied Nier, hesitant.
