Book 17: Chapter 56
“Your Majesty…”
I gently grabbed hold of Nier’s hand and quietly asked, “Nier, you, too, used the holy water to treat a wound last time. Are you feeling all right?”
Nier, who had just washed her hands, had white hands that were soft and warm. I tightened my grip, as I didn’t want to let go.
Nier shook her head with a smile: “I’m all right, Your Majesty, for I have always been drinking the wine from the dragon egg with Her Majesty. I guess my body has become used to having mana. Hence, I haven’t had any reactions. I didn’t get injured in the battle yesterday, either. You need not fret.”
“Is Daisy all right?”
“Yeah, not even the fight last night woke her. That sure saved me a lot of worry and trouble.”
Nier and I embraced. We had just finished fighting a horde of zombies, so I had yet to get any rest and change. The same went for Nier, who only washed her hands. We found our humanity and love as humans on the tense night of bloodshed.
“Sorry, Nier, I need to go. I need to go, and destroy Troy City. I can’t leave Ling Yue lying there all day.”
Ling Yue was still blocking the entrance. She silently lay on the ground as though she was asleep. The red uniform army admired and felt curious about the fox. They all wanted to feel her fur, but she swept away everyone who dared approach her.
